It's having that understanding. But what if when the UV index is really low at sunrise and we're able to get some of the far infrared light into our eyes and our body and there's not any UV risk there, why aren't we suggesting people go outside at sunrise and then what about sunset too?""We're here for the experience. We're not here very long. We're here to learn, we're here to grow, we're here to expand, we're here to connect. Like we're on a journey. It's like we are creating a movie here. We're a creator.""Coming back to just our natural cycles and the natural things and the cycles of the day, working with optimizing your circadian health, optimizing your sleep, optimizing your skin care, figuring out that there are different cycles that happen with our gut throughout the day, that there's different cycles that happen with our skin throughout the day, there's different cycles that happen with our hormones every month."Connect with Dr. MichelleWebsite: https://drmichellejeffries.com/Skin Clock Method:
