With COVID and LC, I became habituated to staying it, not getting out to do anything other than switch from bed to sitting in front of computer, vegging. No energy to do anything else - the rut deepened.

Recently I learned from Dr. Andrew Huberman in interview with Shawn Ryan on YouTube that the single most important thing a person can do for their overall neuro-physical well-being is to get out into natural sunlight first thing in the day.

This triggers a cortisol response which, in turn, sets the biological clock for the release of melatonin at the right time for sleep. Within days, other changes gradually begin to occur. Those changes are defined clearly in the interview, and amount to a countdown of many of our symptoms!

I've been following this simple habit-change for less than a week - and I'm beginning to feel alive again, beginning to hope that I've turned a corner. I encourage you - look up the Shawn Ryan's interview (the whole version - not a clip or short) on YouTube - the interview is long and may take several sessions; have a pencil and pad handy. The first Q&A is short and to the point of morning sunlight and cortisol.

God bless - and let us all know how you do with this. OK?
