Podcasts about Sunlight

Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell provide context around the announcement that Prosecutor Barry Barnette impaneled a state grand jury surrounding events of Scott Spivey's 2023 killing... and alleged police coverup. On today's episode Mandy and Liz explore Alan Wilson's motivations in deciding to not initially prosecute Spivey's killers and whether he can be trusted not to interfere with Barnette's decisions.  Also on the show, former South Carolina legislator and current pedophile RJ May is appealing his 17-year sentence for distributing child sexual abuse material. May — who pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement — is claiming ineffective assistance of counsel… another good ole boy who refuses to face consequences and has no problem spending taxpayer money doing so. Lot's to cover… Let's Dive in…

In this episode, I'm talking all things self-care, stress, and navigating perimenopause without losing your mind. We cover mini screen breaks, getting outside, building morning and evening routines that actually stick, and how movement with friends can be a total game changer. I also chat with Dr. Mariza about sleep struggles, hormone shifts, and practical ways to feel more grounded and energized every day. Plus, I share my go-to rituals: red light masks, acupressure mats, cozy teas, and sacred “me time, ”that keep me sane while juggling work, kids, and life.→ Leave Us A Voice Message!

Today we need to address alarming developments in press freedom as independent journalists, including Don Lemon, face federal charges for violating the FACE Act of 1994. Then Liz reintroduces a case we covered on True Sunlight #134 involving Anijah Yarnell, who claimed self-defense after shooting Michael Pennington in 2020. However, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson unusually appealed the decision—contrasting sharply with Wilson's public opposition to charge others like Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams. Then we're sharing an excerpt from Liz and Mandy's recent appearance on Laura Richard's Crime Analyst Podcast (Episode 303). Richards, Matney, and Farrell emphasize the critical role of independent journalism and sustained public pressure in preventing cases from being swept away.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Crime Analyst Ep 303 On YouTube Crime Analyst Ep. 303 Audio: Mica Francis: Analyzing the Federal Charges Against John Paul Miller with Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell “Journalist Don Lemon charged with federal civil rights crimes after covering anti-ICE church protest” - AP News, Updated Jan 30, 2026

I get my blood work done every 90 days and I swear it's the ultimate tip for health in the short term and in the long term and just feeling your best on he daily. So, today I'm going to try to convince you to do the same. Because there is a huge difference between being "not sick" and being truly healthy and if you aren't getting your bloodwork done at least once a year, you really don't know what's going on. Most people only get blood work done when something is wrong. When they feel bad. When they are exhausted. When a symptom won't go away. When a doctor orders it because something already happened. Instead of doing it reactively, we are talking about doing it proactively. How can you know what your body needs? What supplements or adjustments to your lifestyle… it's almost impossible without bloodwork. It tells you how your hormones are functioning. How inflamed your body is. How well you are absorbing nutrients. How your cholesterol is trending. How stressed your nervous system is. How your metabolism is working. How your immune system is functioning. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become a real problem.  Let's go! Your blood work is your internal dashboard. It's crazy that most people are driving their body blind!! I do full blood work every 90 days and I swear by it.  I'm going to break it all down today. Every 90 days I sit down with my functional medicine doctor, Dr. Singler, and we go through everything. We look at what's trending up. What's trending down. What needs support. What needs to be addressed. We adjust supplements. We talk about lifestyle changes. We sometimes talk about peptides. We look at stress markers like cortisol. We look at hormones. We look at inflammation. We look at cholesterol. We look at nutrient deficiencies. It's not just "do you have a disease." It's "what is your body asking for." And that quarterly check-in has become one of the most powerful forms of self-care I do. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become diagnoses. Because knowledge is power. And when it comes to your health, awareness is leverage. ***Why the Best Health and Longevity Experts Obsess Over Biomarkers When you listen to people like Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, and leaders in longevity medicine, one theme is constant. You can't manage what you don't measure. They talk constantly about biomarkers. Blood markers. Hormones. Cholesterol. Glucose. Inflammation. Nutrients. Stress markers. Not because numbers are the goal. Because trends tell the truth. You don't need to wait until something is "out of range" to take action. You can see patterns forming. You can see directions your health is moving. You can intervene early. Longevity is not built by reacting to disease. Longevity is built by managing risk decades before disease shows up. Blood work lets you see inside the body instead of guessing from the outside. Energy, mood, sleep, weight, anxiety, motivation, focus, hormones, immune function… all of it leaves fingerprints in your labs. *** Why Every 90 Days Is a Sweet Spot Doing blood work every 90 days creates a rhythm. It's long enough for meaningful changes to occur. It's short enough to catch problems early. It's frequent enough to personalize your approach. This cadence allows you to: • See how supplements are actually working • Know if lifestyle changes are helping • Track hormones as they shift • Monitor cholesterol trends • Watch inflammation markers • Identify deficiencies before symptoms • See how stress is impacting your body It turns health into an ongoing relationship instead of a once-a-year appointment. Rather than living on autopilot, it becomes a quarterly check-in. "How is my body actually doing?" "What does it need right now?" "What needs to change?" ***The Power of Baselines One of the most underrated benefits of regular blood work is baselines. When you know what your normal looks like, everything changes. If something shifts, you see it faster. If you get sick, you have something to compare to. If symptoms show up, you're not starting from zero. Your baseline becomes your personal health fingerprint. This is especially powerful with hormones, thyroid, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, glucose, and nutrient levels. Medicine is often built around population averages. But health is personal. Your optimal range is not always the same as "normal." Blood work every 90 days teaches you your body. ***Personalization Instead of Guessing Most people take supplements blindly. They try what's trending. What a friend is taking. What TikTok says. What an ad promises. Blood work removes guessing. You stop throwing things at your body and hoping. You start making informed decisions. When I review labs with my doctor, we are not just looking for problems. We are optimizing. We adjust supplements based on what my body is actually showing. We talk about hormones. We talk about stress. We talk about sleep. We talk about hydration. We talk about inflammation. We talk about recovery. If cortisol is elevated, the conversation shifts to lifestyle, nervous system, sleep, slowing down, hydration, sauna, recovery. If something is low, we talk about absorption, nutrition, and targeted support. It becomes a dialogue with your body instead of a guessing game. ***Emotional Health Lives in the Labs Too This is not just physical. Your labs often reflect your emotional and mental load. Stress hormones. Inflammation. Blood sugar instability. Nutrient depletion. Your body keeps the receipts. Blood work gives you objective data to support lifestyle changes. Sometimes the answer is not another supplement. Sometimes it's rest. Sleep. Boundaries. Sunlight. Movement. Slowing down. It's incredibly empowering to see that connection clearly. It turns self-care into strategy, not indulgence. ***How I Do It and How You Could Do It The way I do it is higher touch and more expensive. I use a mobile blood draw that comes to my house. Then I schedule a long call with my functional medicine doctor to go through everything. We take our time. We look at the full picture. We build a plan. But you do not have to do it that way. You can ask your doctor to order labs. You can go to a clinic and make an appointment so you're not waiting forever. You can get a basic panel and build from there. You can even upload your results into ChatGPT and use it as an educational tool to help you understand what the markers mean and what questions to ask your doctor. This doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be consistent. ***Why This Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make We spend money on convenience. On clothes. On food. On homes. On trips. On businesses. But nothing affects the quality of your life more than the quality of your health. Energy. Mood. Confidence. Focus. Longevity. Relationships. Joy. Blood work every 90 days is not an expense. It is intelligence. It is prevention. It is personalization. It is early detection. It is self-leadership. It is saying, "I care about how long I live and how well I live." ***Most people wait for symptoms to tell them something is wrong. But by the time symptoms show up, your body has usually been whispering for a long time. Blood work lets you hear the whispers. It lets you see trends before problems. Adjust before crashes. Support before burnout. Correct before disease. For me, doing blood work every 90 days has become a quarterly health check-in with myself. How am I really doing? What does my body need? What needs to change? What needs support? It keeps me connected to my health instead of disconnected from it. And I truly believe this is one of the most powerful forms of preventative self-care anyone can adopt. So if you take anything from this episode, let it be this. Don't wait for something to go wrong.  Start tracking your health while things are going right. There's nothing more important or worth spending your time and money on!

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell look at how Boyd and Williams' claims of self-defense compare to that of Anijah Yarnell. Yarnell killed a man in 2020 which the court determined was a justified Stand Your Ground shooting in 2023 and the state is appealing that decision. It seems Attorney General Alan Wilson has two different ways of determining “who” qualifies for Stand Your Ground immunity … and it seems to have nothing to do with the evidence and EVERYTHING to do with who the shooters are.  Also on today's show, we continue our investigation of the shooting homicides of Charity Beallis and her two 5-year old twins in Bonanza, Arkansas. No arrests have been made and multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service are working on the case.  While Charity's husband Randy Beallis denies any wrong doing, we're diving deeper into Randy's past that reveals an allegedly violent history.  A history that prosecutors acknowledged when they offered him a sweetheart deal for choking Charity in 2025.  Two months after that plea deal… Charity and the twins were dead.

Why does modern motherhood feel so hard — even when you're doing everything “right”?In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, we explore a powerful lens for understanding hormones, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and burnout: humans are animals — and modern life is not designed for our biology.From nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress to fertility struggles, postpartum depletion, and emotional overwhelm, this conversation reframes modern motherhood as a biological mismatch, not a personal failure.We cover:The “human animal in captivity” conceptWhy community is essential for mothersSunlight, sleep, movement, and hormonal healthNervous system overload, modern stress, and burnoutWhy self-care isn't indulgent — it's biological necessityThis episode is for women and mothers who feel like something about modern life, health, and motherhood just isn't working — and want a deeper, root-cause understanding.00:00 Introduction: The Human Animal02:05 Humans as Animals05:10 Animals in Captivity09:15 The Continuum Concept14:05 Biohacking vs Nature18:20 Hormones, Detox & Toxic Load22:45 Genetics & Sensitivity27:10 Evolution or De-Evolution31:30 The Loss of the Village36:20 Reciprocity & Support40:55 Parenting, School & Disconnection44:35 Sunlight, Sleep & Circadian Rhythm48:40 Men, Women & Biological Roles53:10 Food, Nutrient Depletion & Seasonality57:45 Sensory Overload & The News1:03:10 Warriors, Nurturers & Purpose1:08:40 Living Like an Animal Again1:12:30 Final Thoughts

The January 28 edition of the AgNet News Hour delivered one of the most detailed and urgent updates yet on the unfolding Potter Valley water crisis, as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill sat down with longtime local veterinarian Rich Brazil to explain what's truly at stake if the Potter Valley Project dams are removed. The message was clear: this isn't just a Northern California issue — it's a warning for every rural community in the state. Brazil, who has lived and worked in Potter Valley for 38 years, explained that the region's farms, ranches, homes, and businesses exist because of a century-old water diversion system connecting the Eel River to the Russian River watershed. That small diversion — roughly 30,000 acre-feet — represents less than one-half of one percent of the Eel River's annual flow, yet supports agriculture, domestic water supplies, fire protection, and entire rural economies downstream. Environmental groups are pushing to remove Scott Dam and Cape Horn Dam, arguing that free-flowing rivers will restore fish populations. Brazil countered that argument with hard data. Over the past 20 years, diversion flows have already been cut by 60 to 80 percent, yet salmon numbers have continued to decline. “That tells you the problem isn't the water diversion,” Brazil said. “It's habitat issues, predators, and offshore impacts.” One of the most alarming consequences Brazil outlined is what would happen if the dams were removed outright. Behind the dams sit an estimated 20 to 40 million cubic yards of sediment. If released, that material could bury the river system in silt, destroying spawning habitat and harming the very fish the removals are meant to protect. Meanwhile, communities would lose reliable water overnight. Domestic wells would dry up, farmland would be abandoned, and property values would collapse. Brazil emphasized that local leaders have repeatedly proposed compromise solutions — including fish ladders and infrastructure upgrades — that would allow fish recovery while preserving water reliability for people. Those options, he said, were rejected outright. “This isn't about sharing,” he warned. “This is about taking everything.” The conversation also touched on the broader political landscape. Brazil believes the Potter Valley dams have become symbolic targets in California's aggressive environmental agenda, and that rural communities are being treated as expendable. However, he expressed cautious optimism thanks to recent engagement from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and NRCS Chief Aubrey J. D. Bettencourt, calling their involvement a turning point after years of being ignored at the state level. Papagni and McGill stressed that the Potter Valley fight mirrors other California battles — from wolves to water storage — where policy decisions are made far from the people who live with the consequences. As Brazil put it, “If this can happen here, it can happen anywhere.” The episode closed with a call for awareness, engagement, and persistence. “Sunlight matters,” Brazil said. “When people understand what's really happening, common sense still has a chance.”

In this episode, investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney⁠ Eric Bland confront a troubling throughline connecting professional discipline, prosecutorial discretion, and the rapid erosion of constitutional norms. Eric recounts a chilling professional reality: an SC Bar disciplinary investigation triggered by harsh—but truthful—excise of free speech, while far more serious attorney misconduct across South Carolina goes untouched.  From there, the discussion turns to newly filed deposition testimony, and the hosts break down how witness narratives can subtly “evolve” under pressure. The final segment widens the lens to the streets of Minnesota, as the team grapples with the fatal shooting of American Nurse Alex Pretti and the alarming normalization of armed federal agents operating without transparency, judicial warrants, or visible identification. At its core, this episode asks a sobering question: What happens when the systems designed to protect justice instead punish those who challenge abuse? The answer... is why journalism, courts, and public scrutiny matter now more than ever. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Lawyer & Judicial Discipline Overview from SC ODC ⚖️ Explainer: Immigration Removal Proceedings and Expanded Mandatory Detention in the U.S. - National Immigration Forum, July 28, 2025

In this eye-opening episode with Nadine Artemis, author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, we challenge everything you thought you knew about the sun. She unpacks why sunlight has become so controversial, tracing the history of heliotherapy and the very real biological need humans have for natural light. Nadine dives into the surprising benefits of sun exposure even in the winter, how light entering the eyes affects our hormones, and what the melanoma research actually shows when you look beyond the headlines. The conversation takes a bold turn as she exposes the real issues with modern sunscreen, explores vitamin D–rich foods in cold climates, and explains the deep connection between sunlight, bone health, and strong teeth. We also discuss tanning beds, the melanotan peptide, melatonin as a form of internal sun protection, and what our skin was truly designed to do. Packed with practical daily sun and light guidance, this episode will completely reshape how you think about sunshine, skin health, and long-term vitality. Nadine Artemis, the author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, is the creator of Living Libations, a pure and luxurious line of organic oral care, botanical beauty care, and medicinal elixirs often called the “holy grail” of wholesome skincare. Artemis is an innovative aromacologist, and her healing formulations and her concept of renegade beauty encourage effortlessness, engaging with the elements, and inspires people to rethink conventional notions of wellness and beauty.

If mental health were only about mindset, then food, sleep, and movement wouldn't matter. But anyone who's tried to “think their way out” of burnout knows that doesn't work.The body keeps score, whether we pay attention or not.Welcome to the Happy, Healthy, Strong Podcast — hosted by Adam Lane. This show breaks down what sustainable health actually looks like, through nutrition that supports the body, movement that feels intentional, and habits built to last without extremes.Episode HighlightsIn this episode, Adam Lane is joined by Stacey Caler for an honest, grounded conversation about what it really takes to support both mental and physical health. They explore why balance isn't about doing more, but doing the right things consistently. From protein intake and micronutrients to daily movement, sleep, and time outdoors, we connect the dots between physical inputs and mental clarity. We also address how goal-setting, accountability, and social media exposure can either support or undermine long-term well-being.Episode OutlineWhy mental health cannot be separated from physical health.The role of proper nutrition in mood, focus, and emotional regulation.How protein supports neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and glutamate.The importance of omega-3 fatty acids and micronutrient-dense foods.Why a protein-rich breakfast sets the tone for the entire day.Strength training and regular movement as non-negotiables for long-term health.Using data and tracking tools, including the Little Oak Strength app, to measure progress.Goal-setting without pressure and why consistency matters more than intensity.The impact of social media on mental health and the comparison trap.The gut–brain connection and how digestion influences mood.Daily routines that support mental health, including supplements and sleep habits.The underrated value of outdoor activity and short walks after mealsEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:26 New Year Banter & Big Goals02:30 Data-Driven Fitness & The “Committed Club”05:34 Holidays, Overindulging & Getting Back On Track12:31 Mental Health, Social Media & Post-Covid Withdrawal18:58 Neurotransmitters 101 & Why Protein Matters22:17 Practical Protein: Shakes, Meals & Sugar Cravings23:19 Building a Foundation: Food First, Then Supplements27:05 Morning Routine: Protein, B-Complex & Omega-3s30:54 Midday & Evening: Magnesium, Iron & Sleep Support36:35 Movement & Mood: One Workout, Different Person39:26 The 10-Minute Walk After Meals40:52 Sunlight, Fresh Air & Seasonal Mood45:56 Food, Supplements & Personal Responsibility49:13 Protein, Aging & Women's Challenges53:52 Find Your “Big Domino” (Sleep, Food, Exercise)57:20 Longevity, Function & Not “Dying While You're Living01:01:04 Listening, Trauma & Walking the Journey With Patients01:02:30 Menopause Teaser & Future EpisodeAction TakenPrioritize a protein-rich breakfast to support brain chemistry.Incorporate regular strength training and daily movement.Track goals and progress using simple, data-driven tools.Build consistent sleep routines to support recovery and mood.Spend time outdoors daily, even if it's just a short walk.Reduce unnecessary social media exposure when it negatively impacts mindsetConclusionMental and physical health are constantly influencing each other, whether that connection is acknowledged or not. What gets eaten, how the body moves, how well sleep is protected, and how often the nervous system gets a break all shape how someone feels day to day. Small, consistent choices create stability over time, and that stability is what makes long-term health sustainable, not extremes, pressure, or perfection.CTAIf this conversation resonated, subscribe to the Happy, Healthy, Strong Podcast and share this episode with someone who's working on building better habits without extremes.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell uncover explosive testimony that tears Weldon Boyd's self-defense narrative to shreds. In newly released depositions from the Scott Spivey wrongful death case, Witness No. 2 reveals disturbing allegations that Weldon Boyd's attorney may have attempted to coerce witness testimony—raising serious questions about just how far the Good Ole Boy network will go to protect one of their own. We're also looking at how Dr. Randy Beallis' second wife died from a gunshot wound to the forehead. Now his third wife, Charity, and their six-year-old twins are murdered the day after their final divorce hearing. The Sebastian County, Arkansas investigation raises disturbing questions: Why isn't Randy the prime suspect?

Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common yet ignored health issues today, and its impact goes far beyond bones. In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devaraj explains how low vitamin D affects energy, immunity, bone strength, autoimmune conditions, and mental health.Drawing from both Ayurveda and modern medical science, the episode explores the Ayurvedic concept of Atapa Seva under Shamana Chikitsa, a gentle healing approach used when the body is exhausted and not ready for intensive treatments, and a grounded framework to correct vitamin D deficiency within the body to actually absorb and use it.Episode Highlights: Why sunlight is considered a therapeutic input in Ayurveda How vitamin D regulates immunity, mood, and inflammationThe connection between vitamin D deficiency, depression, and autoimmune flare-upsPractical steps to restore vitamin D naturally and safelyWhy vitamin D must be supported by digestion, routine, liver health, and vitamin K2Timestamps: 00:00 – 01:00: vitamin D deficiency01:00 – 03:30: Atapa Seva and Shamana Chikitsa03:30 – 04:30: Sunlight, circadian rhythm, & mood regulation04:30 – 06:00 Vitamin D's Role in our Body06:00 – 09:30 Practical Ayurvedic + modern framework begins09:30 – 11:00: Alcohol, liver health, cholesterol, and supplements11:00 – 11:07: Closing and consultation detailsInterested in doing an Ayurvedic consultation with Dr Vignesh Devraj?

In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between your gut, stress, and emotions. Anna explains how anxiety and chronic stress can disrupt the gut-brain axis, damage immune function in the gut, and show up as bloating and digestive issues. You'll learn simple daily practices and supportive supplements that help calm the nervous system, restore gut lining, and address both the emotional and physical sides of gut healing.   Key Points Stress and anxiety strongly affect gut health Gut-brain axis communicates via the vagus nerve Fight-or-flight state disrupts digestion and heart rhythm Deep breathing, humming, and singing support vagus nerve Most anxious clients also have digestive/gut issues Gut often reflects emotional stress and life strain Simple daily practice: barefoot in grass + deep breathing Sunlight exposure (5–10 min) helps regulate the body Lemon balm (in Calm You) gently calms the nervous system Solar plexus chakra links digestion and emotional processing Emotional work must accompany supplements for true healing Bloat List You formula supports gut lining (with mastic gum) Stress can weaken gut lining over time Combining lifestyle tools + Calm You + Bloat List You is recommended   Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are celebrating two big moments of accountability for two of the worst men in South Carolina… On Monday, “Pastor” Churchy Business bro John-Paul Miller had to face a federal judge in Florence to plead “not guilty” to a single felony charge of cyberstalking his wife Mica Francis for a year and a half before her death … as well as a single count of lying to federal investigators about the extent of his stalking.  The judge set JP's unsecured bond at $100K and ordered him to be tracked via a GPS ankle monitor because he's considered a flight risk.  Two days after JP's hearing, Mandy and Liz were keeping tabs on another federal case involving one of South Carolina's worst men, former statehouse representative and admitted pedophile RJ May, who was sentenced to 17 and a half years for distributing child sexual abuse materials. It was a great week for justice.

In this gripping episode, investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney⁠ Eric Bland, confront a week that forces an uncomfortable but urgent question: what happens when power escalates faster than accountability? First, Liz Farrell reports firsthand from the federal arraignment of JP Miller—an appearance marked not just by legal gravity, but by a visible public demand for accountability. What she witnessed was extraordinary: 52 U.S. Marshals on duty, federal prosecutors flooding the jury box, and bombshell revelations that paint JP as both a flight risk and danger to the community. Then through dual lenses of investigative journalism and constitutional law, our hosts unpack a deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota, interrogating how rapidly escalating law enforcement tactics collide with due process, civil rights, and public trust. This is not a partisan conversation. It's a journalistic one. A legal one. And ultimately, a civic one.  Because justice doesn't survive on authority alone... it survives with scrutiny and accountability. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Walk for Peace Facebook Page ☸️

Meanwhile, the light we live under every day is quietly wrecking our biology.In this episode, I sit down with Matt Maruca, founder and CEO of Ra Optics, to discuss how artificial light, blue light, and disrupted circadian rhythm quietly impact energy, sleep, and long-term health. Matt shares how a years-long personal health journey led him to study circadian biology and the essential role light plays in human physiology.We explore why modern indoor environments are so biologically mismatched, how LED lighting and screens affect mitochondrial health, and why sunlight is powerful but not something to mindlessly overdo. Matt also explains how light influences hormones, mental health, and recovery, and why most wellness conversations miss this entirely.Beyond the science, we touch on Matt's broader work teaching how to think differently about light exposure, health, and performance.If you're interested in biohacking, sleep optimization, blue light, or understanding why your nervous system feels constantly overstimulated, this episode will shift how you see your environment.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:08:02] Matt's childhood health struggles, and the discovery that changed everything[00:12:23] Diet alone can't fix your health, so what is at the root of chronic disease?[00:16:34] The fourth phase of water inside your cells and why 40% of sunlight is designed specifically to structure it[00:18:33]  The devolution of artificial light — from fire-like incandescents to blue-heavy, infrared-stripped “junk light” LEDs[00:39:16] Blue light, your circadian rhythm and mental illness[00:45:22] Why "more sun is better" is wrong[00:57:15] How a chance encounter at an event turned a garage tinting operation into Ra Optics[01:13:19] Why traditional sunglasses blunt the health benefits of sunlight, and the lens innovation designed to fix that[01:20:58] What makes Ra Optics different from other blue light blocking glasses on the market[01:30:02] Why doing all the right things still left Matt miserable, and the event that created a huge shift[02:09:27] The hidden problems with "circadian bulbs" on the current market[02:20:12] How to protect your light environment and stay healthy while travelingResources Mentioned:The Way Forward episode on the Hidden Dangers of EMFs, Artificial Light, & Wifi (How To Avoid Them) featuring Tristan Scott | YouTubeThe Way Forward episode on Circadian Biology, Leptin, & Light featuring Sarah Kleiner | YouTubeThe Life Stylist episode on Extreme Biohacking: Millennial Edition with Matt Maruca | Listen NowA mitochondrial paradigm of metabolic and degenerative diseases, aging, and cancer: a dawn for evolutionary medicine by Wallace, D | ArticleThe Fourth Phase of Water by Gerald Pollack | Book or AudiobookThe Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz | Book or AudiobookThe Lean Startup by Eric Ries | Book or AudiobookThe 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss | Book or AudiobookAutobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda | Book or AudiobookSouth: The ENDURANCE Expedition by Ernest Shackleton | Book or AudiobookSaunaSpace | WebsiteFind more from Matt:The Light Diet Podcast | Spotify or AppleThe Light Diet | InstagramRa Optics | InstagramFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:New Biology Clinic: Redefine Health from the Ground UpExperience tailored terrain-based health services with consults, livestreams, movement classes, and more.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are ready to celebrate as Myrtle Beach “Pastor” John-Paul Miller is finally going to federal court on Jan. 12 in Florence, South Carolina. He'll be arraigned on two charges related to why his estranged wife, Mica, allegedly killed herself in April 2024. Plus, Mandy and Liz begin peeling back the layers on the Charity Beallis case in Bonanza, Arkansas. Charity, who was 40, was found shot to death in December 2025 alongside the bodies of her 6-year-old twins in their house the DAY AFTER her final divorce hearing.  No suspects have been named yet and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, has denied having anything to do with their deaths. The investigation includes six law enforcement agencies, including the United States Secret Service and Homeland Security Investigations, but little information has been given to the public on the status of the case. In the meantime, there's plenty to discuss … especially when it comes to Randall and his dark past.

From adrenal dysfunction and chronic inflammation to nutritional deficiencies, sunlight exposure, and hormone decline—learn how to identify your fatigue triggers and restore your energy naturally with actionable lab work, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen, featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol levels—the key hormone controlling your stress response, sleep quality, and daily energy. If you're always tired despite getting enough sleep, Zen provides the targeted adrenal support your body needs to restore balanced cortisol production and reclaim the calm, sustained energy you've been missing. Get zen here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/zen 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Adrenal dysfunction is the primary cause of chronic fatigue - When stress overactivates your adrenal glands for years, cortisol production becomes imbalanced, disrupting sleep and draining energy even after a full night's rest. Chronic inflammation creates debilitating tiredness - Conditions like insulin resistance, autoimmune disorders, liver issues, and chronic pain keep your body in a constant state of metabolic stress that depletes energy reserves. Nutritional deficiencies directly impact energy production - Deficiencies in B vitamins (especially B6, B9, and B12), choline, and vitamin D impair neurotransmitter production and cellular energy, with genetic factors like MTHFR compounding the problem. Morning sunlight is non-negotiable for energy regulation - Just 10-15 minutes of morning sun exposure produces 10,000 IU of vitamin D, increases serotonin and cortisol naturally, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep and daytime energy. Hormone decline accelerates fatigue after age 40 - Low testosterone in men and declining estrogen in women contribute significantly to persistent tiredness, but addressing adrenal health should always come before hormone replacement. JOIN THE SCHOOL Recovering from adrenal fatigue requires more than just breathing exercises and supplements—your diet plays a crucial role in cortisol regulation and energy stability. That's why we're launching a 6-week "No Grains. No Sugar." class starting Thursday, January 15th. Eliminating grains and sugar helps stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and take stress off your adrenal glands—giving them the space they need to recover. Beyond the structured classes, the School of Doza community connects you with others working through their own health transformations. Share what's working (and what's not), get accountability for your 90-day adrenal reset, and have your questions answered during our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions that function like group consults. Whether you need help interpreting your DHEAS results, troubleshooting your HRV tracking, or figuring out why you're still crashing at 2 PM, the community and weekly sessions give you direct access to guidance and support. Start with a FREE TRIAL and join us for the "No Grains. No Sugar." class to accelerate your adrenal recovery.

Cups Up to Season Four in 2026!  Between stretches of absolutely nothing in West Texas and questionable taquito choices, ⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ celebrates LUNASHARK's new travel podcast "Wherever It Leads…"—because apparently investigating corruption wasn't enough of an adventure. Stay tuned for details on the premiere. Then Mandy, ⁠⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and Eric Bland dive into serious updates: Russell Laffitte finally reported to federal prison on December 30th, Cory Fleming might be headed home to Beaufort in what seems like shenanigans, and JP Miller heads to his arraignment in federal court on January 12th.  Then the team dives deeper into Lee Gilley's upcoming capital murder trial in Houston scheduled for February 23rd. Accused of strangling his pregnant wife Christa to death and killing their unborn child, Gilley has been booping about on bond—attending mega churches and allegedly dating—while Christa's friends fight tirelessly for justice. The audacity is stunning, the hypocrisy infuriating, and the need for accountability is more dire than ever.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Follow Mandy & David's travel adventures on Facebook

Happy New Year! As 2025 comes to a close, the team looks back on the stories from the True Sunlight Podcast that defined the year, and the systems that made them possible. In this special year-end episode, Mandy provides an update on Cory Fleming's ‘Early Release' and LUNASHARK's digital librarian Kate Thomas takes listeners on a journey through twelve audio clips, one from each month, highlighting the investigations, interviews, and turning points that shaped LUNASHARK's work in 2025. From Pastor JP Miller's lawsuit warfare and eventual federal indictment, to the corruption exposed in Scott Spivey's killing, to Karl Stoller's silencing in the Bowen Turner case—this episode traces the patterns of corruption, the protection of powerful men, and the systemic failures that continue to plague America's justice systems. But we also celebrate the wins: Lee Gilley's indictment in Texas, the charging of former Deputy Billy Squires, the federal cyberstalking charges brought against JP Miller, and federal Child Sexual Abuse Material charges for former SC state rep RJ May and former long-time magistrate judge James Gosnell. Gosnell has pleaded not guilty. This isn't just a recap—it's a reminder of why sunlight matters, why this work must continue, and why your support makes accountability possible. As we look toward 2026, one truth remains clear: the work is far from over, but together, we're making a difference…. And That Is A Big Deal!

As 2025 draws to a close, the LUNASHARK team takes a moment to look back at the year's most powerful conversations from Cup of Justice. Join digital librarian Kate Thomas as she revisits twelve unforgettable clips, one from each month, featuring the voices that moved us, challenged us, and reminded us why this work matters. From detectives connecting the dots to families walking dark roads seeking answers, from Hollywood productions to legal battles weaponized against journalists... From breakthroughs in cases once dismissed as hoaxes to masterclasses in investigative journalism, from emotional pleas for justice to the surreal moment an actor's transformation into Alex Murdaugh triggered visceral reactions.... These twelve clips tell the story of a year spent chasing justice, celebrating the persistence of families seeking justice, and embracing the power of independent journalism.  These moments capture the heart of Cup of Justice's mission: exposing the truth, amplifying victims' voices, and demanding accountability from those in power.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Links to Episodes: COJ 114, COJ 117, COJ 122, COJ 125, COJ 129, COJ 135, COJ 137, COJ 141, COJ 146, COJ 150, COJ 154, COJ 157 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more and join with Promo Code "COJ25" for your first month free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

THE SCIENCE OF COMBUSTION AND FIRE-ADAPTED VEGETATION Colleague Danielle Clode. The discussion turns to the science of combustion, focusing on fire-adapted vegetation like Eucalyptus and Mountain Ash, which rely on fierce fires and sunlight to regenerate. Clode addresses common misconceptions about ignition, stating that while arson accounts for some fires, natural causes like lightning and accidental faults often produce more dangerous blazes. She also warns that during drought conditions, even plants considered fire-resistant, such as Pittosporum, become fuel, emphasizing the need for managing undergrowth. Finally, Clode outlines the evolution of Australian fire brigades, which began as insurance-run town units before expanding into the massive volunteer networks essential for protecting rural communities.

Merry Christmas from True Sunlight! In this holiday edition, investigative journalist Mandy Matney shares unexpected jury duty experience in Beaufort County—complete with an awkward courthouse reunion with lawyer-lawmaker Todd Rutherford.   Mandy reflects on the question that led to her dismissal as a juror… whether legitimate reasons exist to not stop for police lights, diving deep into the dangers of police pursuits and the corruption she's witnessed firsthand covering Low Country law enforcement. Then Mandy and Liz Farrell dive deep into how Horry County Police Department potentially planted a bag of steroids in Scott's truck to support Weldon Boyd's narrative that Scott was a "drug crazed, raging out of control maniac."  And finally we're expressing deep gratitude for the True Sunlight community—whose support helps hold public agencies and good ol boys accountable. We're making the world a little brighter, one investigation at a time. So much to cover, so let's dive in!

In this holiday edition, investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ talk with attorney⁠ Eric Bland about their Festivus grievances and the ongoing legal harassment they face in the Beach v. Parker civil conspiracy case. Eric explains how unlimited budgets enable clients to weaponize discovery processes, while Mandy and Liz discuss their decision to speak publicly about Greg Parker's tactics rather than remain silent.  Plus, Mandy shares some observations from her eye-opening jury duty experience highlighting systemic inefficiencies and her encounters with familiar figures in the 14th Circuit. Then we're discussing newly revealed details from JP Miller's federal indictment for cyberstalking and lying to investigators—including the chilling allegation that he called Victim #1 (likely Mica Francis) over 50 times on March 11, 2024, how JP allegedly lied about slashing her tires and allegedly lied to federal investigators about local police instructing him to leave her alone.  Despite the frustrations, the team remains defiant, grateful for their community's support, and ready for the major trials and appeals ahead in 2026. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy's Parker's Kitchen Gas Boycott Post - Facebook, Dec 20, 2025

If you have ADHD and sleep feels like a constant struggle, you're not imagining it—and you're definitely not alone. Research shows that 70–80% of adults with ADHD have chronic sleep problems, most commonly falling asleep too late and being unable to shift earlier, no matter how hard they try. For many of us, this pattern starts in childhood and is deeply tied to our biology.In this solo episode, I explain why ADHD brains are wired for later sleep, how “social jetlag” (early school and work schedules) creates ongoing sleep debt, and why so many ADHD adults are surviving on 5–6 hours of sleep when our brains actually need more. The tricky part? The symptoms of sleep deprivation—poor focus, low motivation, memory issues, irritability, and emotional dysregulation—look almost identical to ADHD itself.We dive into chronotherapy, a science-based approach that works with your circadian rhythm instead of fighting it. I break down how light exposure, strategic timing, and gentle sleep-wake adjustments can help regulate your internal clock without perfectionism or rigid routines.And yes—we talk about sunlight. Morning light is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for ADHD regulation. I share how light therapy glasses, sun lamps, melatonin, and intentional light exposure can support better sleep, better focus, and a calmer nervous system overall.If you've been blaming yourself for sleep issues your brain never signed up for, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a much more realistic path forward.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

For almost 20 months, investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠, ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ and ⁠Beth Braden⁠ have covered the Mica Francis case. They've filed dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests, listened to hours of recordings, gone through stacks of police reports, court documents, transcripts and text messages to piece together what the final months, weeks and days of Mica's life looked like as she tried to extricate herself from her husband, “Pastor” John Paul Miller.  On April 27, 2024 — the day Mica killed herself in a remote part of a North Carolina swamp — JP was the leader of Solid Rock Ministries in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where he had built, destroyed and rebuilt his megachurch all while, according to records and accusations made by family, friends and former church members, using his position of power and his so-called connection to God to bully, harass and torment his young wife, Mica — all the while denying wrongdoing and escaping accountability.  On Dec. 18, 2025, the United States Government announced that JP Miller (finally) was going to be held accountable for his alleged actions against Mica, who investigators say killed herself as a result of JP's threats and abuse.  He has been charged with one count of cyberstalking for his alleged actions between Nov. 16, 2022 and the day of Mica's death and one count of lying to federal investigators. Today we're enjoying vindication and a day of celebration that Mandy and Liz hope will have more people talking about the effects of coercive control abuse.  So much to cover, so let's dive in!

Investigative journalists⁠ ⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ talk with attorney⁠ Eric Bland about South Carolina's deeply flawed judicial selection process as former House Speaker Jay Lucas—at 69 years old with no judicial experience—positions himself for John Kittredge's Supreme Court chief justice seat against experienced appellate judge John Few. The team exposes how the legislature's selection system operates like a backroom good-old-boys club, with candidates humiliating themselves outside chambers while schmoozing white male lawmakers. The conversation shifts to Attorney General Alan Wilson's theatrical raid on minority-owned stores selling legal THC products, seizing $80,000 from Eric's clients despite unclear laws following the 2018 US Farm Bill. Liz and Mandy argue Wilson is ignoring South Carolina's real problems LIKE ALLEGED MURDERERS WALKING FREE.

Over the past few weeks investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have had to fight for every breath they've taken on account of the stress from gas station guy Greg Parker, Mark C. Moore and Debbie Barbier's constant legal bullying and harassment.  (3:30) First up on the show, the "Green Shirt Guy" Brian Stahlheber—who was charged in the unhinged Squiresgate incident on Hilton Head this past September—has filed the whiniest 18-page motion for a speedy trial imaginable, complete with a cartoon about TikTok followers preventing justice. We wish we were kidding. (27:15) Meanwhile, Horry County officials scrambled to scrub former Public Safety Director Randy Webster's name from a $24 million building after sexual harassment allegations surfaced. Randy's defense to HR? He was "just being friendly." Liz and Mandy go through Randy's statement to HR on Oct. 17, the same day he abruptly decided to leave his position. And it is everything that is wrong with certain men when it comes to the workplace. But the real outrage? (51:00) South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson broke his own policy against commenting on ongoing investigations to go on his cousin's podcast and spew nonsense about the Scott Spivey case. (01:03:00) Plus: "Pastor" JP Miller calls the cops again (shocking!) over signs, and his father gets arrested instead. So much to cover, so let's dive in!

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have endured a lot during the nearly seven years they've covered the Murdaugh family but NOTHING like what they're experiencing now.  Shortly after Mallory Beach's death, Mallory's family filed a lawsuit in search of justice and accountability and an assurance that Parker's Kitchen would shore up the training of their cashiers when it comes to the sale of alcohol to minors.  Instead of seeking to settle the case, Parker's Kitchen, Greg Parker and their legal team appear to have embarked down a very dark path, engaging two political operatives — one known for “mischief-making” and the other known for harassment campaigns against individuals — to help lessen their liability in the case.  Which brings us to the past six months, during which Greg Parker's attorneys have used mischaracterizations and unsupported theories to turn their focus on Mandy and Liz in an effort to silence them and their coverage of the case(s)… So much to cover, so let's dive in!
