Three reason to prioritize morning ☀️
1️⃣ First and foremost, it feels good. Nothing better than fresh air, morning sun and the sounds of nature. It’s that simple. 2️⃣ Sunrise sets the circadian rhythm via the blend/intensity of red and blue light frequencies and communicates to the master clock in your brain exactly the time of day. This clock oscillates this message to every cell so they can sync up all their tasks for the entire day. 3️⃣ Morning light is heavy in red/infrared so it acts as natural red light therapy. 4️⃣ The perfect blend of red/blue at sunrise also “turns on” the hypothalamus-pituitary axis to regulate hormone production. It boosts cortisol and pregnenolone, which your body partitions based on whether my mitochondria think I need to fight or flee or make a baby. The first decision you make every single morning will dictate what your biology does that entire day, and during the night. This simple decision will either push you parasympathetic so you can utilize and crate energy all day or, sympathetic where you will chase your energy all day. Make it a good one, and make it simple ✨

Is there a difference to being outside and in the sun vs being in front of a window that lets in tons of sunlight?

@Josh Rubin huh, so if you wear glasses (I have for the last 24 years) is it an added benefit to take them off when you go outside for that morning sun? Or does enough go around the glasses?
Are you prioritizing melatonin 🧐
Did you know there are TWO types of melatonin… and the supplement isn’t one of them? When we talk about melatonin, most people think:💤 Sleep💊 Supplements But here’s the truth: melatonin is not just a sleep hormone, and you don’t need to supplement it. Why? Because your body produces its own melatonin in two forms:1️⃣ Pineal Melatonin: -Made in darkness, about 5% of total melatonin. -Acts as a circadian signal of darkness at night. -Triggers repair (autophagy & apoptosis) as the body’s master antioxidant. 2️⃣ Cellular Melatonin: -Makes up 95% of your total melatonin. -Produced during the day for local repair, healing, and reducing inflammation. Here’s the kicker:🌞 Melatonin production depends on sunlight.💡 Blue light suppresses its function. Modern living—think screens, artificial lighting, and lack of outdoor time—is wreaking havoc on both forms of melatonin. The fix?✨ Wear orange-tinted blue blockers in the early AM and after sunset.✨ Get outside for sunrise, morning sun, and sunset. By protecting and supporting your natural melatonin production, you’re setting the stage for better repair, regeneration, and overall health. Are you prioritizing your melatonin? Let me know! 👇

Are there particular brands of blue blockers that are better than others? Or is any orange-tinted blue blocker good?

Welcome to The Energy Blueprint We are so glad you are here. Before anything else, know this: 🤯 This is more than a community. It's a reframe. Most people believe they need a better diet, better supplements, or better labs. But healing doesn’t come from more information. It comes from new rhythms. New daily inputs. New experiences that teach your body it’s safe. You can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick. And you can’t heal with the same mindset that got you here. If you approach this work with urgency, perfectionism, or symptom-chasing, you’ll recreate the same patterns. This space is about doing it differently. If you're here, you are in the "arena,' and you know how frustrating it can get at times. The long, exhausting, hard days. Pushing doing, working harder, parenting more and healing less. This is why we build The Energy Blueprint. ❌ No lab. No supplements. No biohacks. No food fear. 🙌🏻 Just steady shifts that compound over time. 💫 Just real people. Real connection...and reconnection. Whether you have come to find a new way, come to share your wins, come to vent or completely transform your life 👉🏻Here is how you get started: 1. Take the time to introduce yourself below. Who are you? Where are you from? What is your story? What isn't working? What is your why?...& what do you want out of the TEB? 2. This community is a place to ask questions, share wins and struggles, to learn a bit, and join the monthly lives. You are here so you don't have to do it alone...and now you have us. 3. Raise your hand when you are struggling or need help. No question is silly or too small. We will take the time and energy to respond to every question. The TEB is more than just a protocols, it's a reframe, so we understand there is a lot of unlearning going on. 4. When you have a win, no matter how small...SHARE IT in the Share Your Daily Wins category. 5. 🚨 Lastly: Be respectful. No external links, personal brand mentions or self promotion, unsolicited DMs, be constructive and have fun most importantly. What is in this group stays in the group. Please don't screen shot and share with others. Violating any of these will result in immediate ban from the group.

Hi, I’m Andi. Lived in WI my whole life, I have 2 girls and my husband and I have been married for 11 years. I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking for being a part of this group but I am excited to be here. 2022-2025 brought our family unending stress and one crisis after another. One of those being a mold issue in our home. I lived in pure survival mode for those 3 years and even with this past year being so much calmer, I feel like my body just isn’t catching up to the lowered stress and not being in that survival mode anymore. I’ve come to realize that I’m really just struggling to care for my body in the way that I would like to and I’m overwhelmed with where to start and how to shift out of this space. I’m looking forward to what I can learn in here.
Leptin: The Circadian Signing Hormone
High vs. Low Leptin — same thing or different? The short answer: Both. 🔹 The Similarities Whether leptin is high or low, the outcome is often the same: ➡️ Leptin resistance ➡️ Sugar-burning 24/7 (not fat) ➡️ Chronic stress in the system ➡️ Disrupted glucose + insulin balance In both cases, the body isn’t “hearing” leptin’s signals. 🔹 The Differences ⚠️ High leptin = plenty of fuel, but the brain can’t read it. Think “too much noise.” The message gets lost, and the body behaves as if it’s starving—so appetite increases, fat burning shuts down, stress stays high. ⚠️ Low leptin = true scarcity/famine. There’s not enough leptin to signal safety, so the body knows it’s starving. Thyroid slows, adrenals bottom out, hormones drop, metabolism grinds to a halt. So while both states create resistance and stress, one is like having the radio too loud (high leptin) and the other is like the radio being unplugged (low leptin). Either way—the message isn’t getting through. 🔹 The Real Fix It’s not about more dieting, restriction, adrenal or thyroid supplements, GLP1 💉 or “just add calories. It’s about restoring leptin sensitivity so your metabolism can self-correct and your nervous system can finally feel safe. 🌱 If you tried everything and still feel stuck, START HERE.

I am curious how this all would impact my husband who wakes up for work at 1am. Obviously it’s not light out at this time. Is it a lost cause with this type of schedule?
