Blue Light Zen | Tsh and The Simple Show

Jonathan Fields / Acast
About this episode

In today's GLP Update, we're talking about a cool new bit of science about how blue light can help when you're stressed out, and we've got a fun second segment where we jam with fellow podcaster, Tsh Oxenreider of The Simple Show.

Good Life Science: Ever wonder if the color of light might have an effect on you, your mood and your brain? You've may have heard the recent research about blue light and how it can disrupt melatonin and mess with your sleep. But, it turns out, new research shows that blue light may have a very particular beneficial effect, especially when you're stressed out. It can drop you into the Zen zone up to three-times faster than white light. That's what we're diving into in today's Good Life Science Update. And, as always, for those want to go to the source, here's a link to the full study.

Good Life Podcast Friends: Instead of our usual Good Life Riff, we've got a special jam today with our friend and fellow podcaster, Tsh Oxenreider of The Simple Show. We're actually sharing our favorite recent episodes of each other's shows and why we found them so compelling. You'll definitely want to check out episode 100 of The Simple Show if you've been thinking at all about where you want to live. Oh, and you can find a bunch more recommendations for great podcasts from both of us at Wondery.com/thanksgiving.
