## Resource

Circadian rhythm plays a major role in women's health over 40. Your body relies on light signals to regulate sleep, mood, and metabolism. In this episode, we explore how morning sunlight anchors circadian rhythm and why evening artificial light can disrupt sleep. Simple light habits can dramatically improve energy and sleep quality.
