Circadian Reboot – E9 Dr. Sara Pugh Discusses the Role that Light Plays on Cholesterol and Health

In this episode of Circadian Reboot, Pam Killeen interviews Sara Pugh, a seasoned scientist with a background in genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics. They discuss the intricate relationship between cholesterol, statins, and light exposure, emphasizing the often misunderstood role of cholesterol in the body. Sara explains how artificial light affects blood sugar levels and overall health, and introduces the concept of deuterium and its impact on energy production. The conversation also covers practical health strategies such as cold thermogenesis, fasting, and the importance of grounding. Sara shares insights on overcoming the fear of sunlight and the detrimental effects of modern environments on health. The episode concludes with a discussion on practical circadian living and Sara’s future projects.

Cholesterol is essential for hormone production and is often misunderstood.
Sunlight plays a crucial role in regulating heart health and calcium levels.
Artificial blue light can raise blood sugar and cortisol levels.
