For listeners in colder climates or areas with limited sunshine, here are some alternatives to still gain the benefits of sunlight and its effects on health:

1. Use a Light Therapy Lamp

• How to use: Sit in front of the lamp for 20–30 minutes in the morning, keeping it about 16–24 inches from your face. Look at it indirectly while working, reading, or eating breakfast.

The Happy Healthy Life Podcasts

In this episode of the Happy Healthy Life podcast, we, your hosts Rob and Randy, dive deep into the often misunderstood topic of inflammation. We kick off the discussion by acknowledging the common belief that inflammation is the "silent killer" and the widespread notion that simply cutting out sugar can eliminate it. However, we challenge this myth and emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of inflammation in our bodies.

We express our gratitude to our listeners, both new and long-time supporters, and celebrate the significance of showing up for oneself, especially as we approach our 100th episode. We introduce the concept of National Quitters Day, which falls on January 10th, highlighting the importance of persistence in pursuing health goals, particularly during the New Year.

As we delve into the topic, we clarify that inflammation is not inherently bad; in fact, it is a natural and healthy response to injury. We discuss the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, emphasizing that while acute inflammation is essential for healing, chronic inflammation can lead to serious health issues, including cardiovascular problems and chronic diseases.

Join us next episode for our milestone 100th episode, where we will continue to explore topics that matter to you.
