EP#64 Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS

🌞 "We are light beings." – Rachel Jessey
On her return to the Metabolic Wellbeing – Without the BS podcast, Rachel Jessey gifted us with a powerful truth: light is not optional—it's foundational.

In a world bathed in artificial light from birth, we’ve strayed far from the natural rhythms that fuel our metabolism, hormones, and healing.

🧬 From early morning light to the power of sunset, Rachel breaks down how:

• Light affects postpartum recovery
• Vitamin D and sunlight are inseparable from wellbeing
• Blue light impacts cortisol, leptin, insulin, and blood sugar
• Screens may demand age limits—not just for eyes, but for long-term health
• Shift work, student stress, and desk lunches under fluorescent glare are more damaging than we think
• Even our sleep trackers can't replace what our body is already telling us

✨ We’re facing an epidemic of light deficiency, and it’s time to reset.
Nature’s cycles aren’t just aesthetic—they’re biological cues that guide your body toward healing, energy, and balance.

🎧 Tune in for practical tips on:
 ✅ Blue light blockers
 ✅ Outdoor wellbeing breaks
 ✅ Meal timing with light exposure
 ✅ Reclaiming your circadian rhythm

🔦 If you have time for social media, you have time for real light.
 And if you’re ready to really nourish your metabolic wellbeing—join our workshops.

📥 Let us help you reconnect with light, nature, and the rhythms that heal.

Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS 

 Following my own diagnosis with Stage 4 cancer, I created an independent educational platform dedicated to improving metabolic health literacy. Through conversations with world-leading clinicians, researchers and patient advocates, 'Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS' has reached audiences in over 100 countries, helping people make informed lifestyle decisions and promoting prevention, resilience and wellbeing. Entirely self-funded, the initiative demonstrates how one person's lived experience can create lasting public benefit on a global scale while being proudly based in Glasgow 

Hosted with authenticity, curiosity, and a passion for meaningful change, each episode brings together world-leading experts, innovators, advocates, and everyday storytellers to explore why metabolic health truly matters. Blending real-life experiences with science-backed insights, the conversations challenge conventional thinking while inspiring listeners to ask better questions about health and longevity.

From insulin resistance and gut health to cancer conversations, migraines, mental clarity, sustainable weight management, and the future of preventative healthcare, Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS creates a space for learning, questioning, and evolving — together.
