Host: Lacy Lain, The Functional Medicine Woman
Episode Summary: In this episode of Functional Medicine for Women, Lacy Lain delves into the critical connection between women's functional health and circadian medicine. She discusses how circadian rhythms impact mood, anxiety, and depression, potentially leading to HPA axis dysfunction and hormonal imbalances. Lacy shares practical tips to help reset your circadian rhythm and improve overall well-being.
Key Points:
Understanding Circadian Rhythm:
Circadian rhythms are influenced by external cues like light and darkness.Morning sunlight exposure can improve sleep quality and mood.Hormonal Insights:
Melatonin: Produced in response to darkness; optimal production requires morning sunlight exposure.Cortisol: The stress hormone, follows a daily rhythm; peaks in the morning and levels out during the day.Imbalances in melatonin or cortisol can lead to poor sleep quality, chronic fatigue, and anxiety.Impact of Lifestyle Choices:
Irregular sleep patterns, shift work, and late-night screen use can disrupt circadian rhythm.Simple changes like establishing a bedtime routine and reducing screen time can improve circadian health.Circadian Rhythm and Mental Health:
Disruptions in circadian rhythms are linked to mood disorders, anxiety, and depression.Studies highlight the importance of maintaining regular sleep patterns and light exposure.Practical Tips for Better Sleep and Hormonal Balance:
Set a consistent sleep schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.Reduce exposure to artificial light at night: Use blue light filters or dim lights in the evening.Spend time outside in natural light: Aim for at least 30 minutes of sunlight exposure daily, preferably before 10 a.m.Additional Lifestyle Factors:
Diet and Exercise: A balanced diet and regular physical activity support healthy circadian rhythms.Stress Resilience: Building stress resilience through methods like cold showers or cold plunges (under guidance) can enhance emotional balance.HPA Axis and Hormonal Health:
Chronic circadian disruption and elevated cortisol levels can lead to HPA axis dysfunction.This dysfunction affects thyroid function and reproductive health, causing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and irregular menstrual cycles.Personal Experience and Insights:
Lacy shares her personal journey with hormonal imbalances and how functional medicine helped her achieve regular cycles and better health.Actionable Takeaway: Start improving your circadian rhythm today by setting a consistent sleep schedule, reducing exposure to artificial light at night, and spending time outside in natural light.
