GUT TALK with Jenna and Jill

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker and dive into the often overlooked connections between hormones, insulin, and environmental factors like lighting and food. We discuss how everyday habits—like staring at screens, exposure to blue and artificial light, even the chemicals we use in our daily routines—and how they are silently contributing to chronic stress and hormone issues. Dr. Stacy shares simple lifestyle changes—such as getting sunlight early in the day, wearing yellow glasses, or using incandescent bulbs—and how these habits can drastically help reset your body's internal clock and support healthy hormone levels. We also discuss the increasing diagnosis of breast cancer and how we can adjust certain lifestyle habits to reduce our risk of certain types of breast cancer.Episode Topics:Why balancing insulin and hormones is critical for your healthThe shocking effects of blue and artificial light on your cortisol levelsSimple, effective tips for protecting your hormones from environmental stressorsHow food, light, and chemicals interact with your body in ways you may not expectDaily practices to improve hormonal balancingBreast cancer awareness: How to address hormonal imbalances to avoid cancer diagnosisHow we can be empowered when it comes to understanding how to prevent certain cancers, like breast cancermuch much more!Follow Dr. Stacy on InstagramDr. Stacy's WebsiteLINK to Dr. Stacy's episode on Breast Cancer
