- Day vs. Night: Dopamine helps signal the brain about the time of day, affecting energy and activity levels.
- Evening Impact: High dopamine at night can disrupt sleep quality.
- Solution: Reduce evening blue light exposure with warm lightbulbs or blue-blocking glasses.

- Circadian Disruption: Blue light affects the circadian rhythm more than other colors, stimulating dopamine production.
- Dopamine's Role: Crucial in retina development, visual signaling, and regulating clock genes.
My Results ๐
- Circadian Optimization: Maintaining steady dopamine levels has helped me sustain energy and motivation.

- This winter I was able to take care of my coaching clients and the biz without getting sick when my grandma passed away and a pandoraโs box of family conflict opened up.
- All thanks to circadian and in turn dopamine optimization.

- Evening Usage: Wear blue-blocking glasses after sunset while at home, watching TV, or using devices.
- Morning Advice: If you're up before sunrise and using screens, wear them to protect your eyes.
