She covers the disruption of the body’s natural circadian rhythm due to dark winter months, how brown eyes absorb light differently, the dangerous traps of self-medicating with alcohol (a natural depressant), and how to build pre-emptive immunity using artificial light boxes, vitamin D, and targeted exercise.
