Age Better with Liz Earle · Why sunlight is key to a longer, healthier life – with Rowan Jacobsen · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

It releases fat to be burned as energy.

And when it doesn't detect blue light, it stores fat, right?

So it's like a hibernation thing, but it's built into the fat cells themselves.

And the brain, like, so yeah, all of your body is quite aware of how much light.

In addition to your eyes.

So yeah, it's, and some of us I think are more susceptible than others.

Like some people can sleep fine in a little bit of light.

I like it very dark for sleeping.

I feel like you go deeper and do, sleeping is when a lot of the healing happens, the repair work, the cellular repair work.

Yeah, yeah.

That's what you need, isn't it?

It's huge.

It really is when the daily repair work happens.

And if it doesn't happen...

It takes a while to catch up with you, but that seems to be a big part of aging is when those repairs, the maintenance gets deferred, right?

So you want to stay on the maintenance.

And I feel like you can actually, like when you wake up in the morning, you know right away, I've sort of been paying more attention, but I'll wake up and I'll be like, oh, it worked or, oh, it didn't work, right?

Yeah.

It is different.

And I was actually thinking I might even need to do a whole book on sun after 60.
