TODAY'S GUEST:
For most of his life, Roudy Nassif spent nights staying up late, waking up feeling exhausted, unmotivated and unfocused. After visiting so many doctors, and trying different diets, supplements, and herbs, nothing seemed to work.

About 7 years ago, Roudy's depression and anguish became unbearable so he decided to leave his job as an engineer and embark on a worldwide journey of learning about himself and nature.
Roudy's experiences transformed his health and life. His quest to understand this transformation and help others led him to study light, quantum biology and the circadian rhythm. Thus, VivaRays was born

Roudy has been educating thousands of functional medicine and naturopathic doctors about the power of light and helping them optimize their personal as well as their patients' wellbeing, sleeping patterns, energy and focus.

Roudy is on a mission to elevate people’s light environment to a whole new level of alignment with nature in order to live in an optimal rhythm, resulting in better sleep, more energy and focus and higher productivity.

Estrogen’s effect on insulin and how this impacts what we should eat during the first and second half of our menstrual cycles
Which hormone is responsible for water retention and insomnia
Why stress has a greater impact on your health in your 30s and 40s (psst - it has to do with progesterone!)
