BITESIZE | The Science of Sunlight: How 20 Minutes a Day Could Transform Your Mood, Energy & Sleep | Dr Roger Seheult

When we think of sunlight, vitamin D is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But the truth is, the full spectrum of light that we get exposed to when we spend time outside plays a vital role in how we sleep, how we feel and even how our cells create energy.

Today’s Bitesize is from episode 586 of the podcast with quadruple board-certified physician, Dr Roger Seheult.

Most of us know that getting outside is good for us, but we may not realise just how powerful sunlight can be for our health.

Roger shares why spending 20 minutes a day outside – even on a cloudy day – could make a real difference to your mood, your energy and your sleep.

This Bitesize is a powerful reminder that sometimes the simplest habits, like stepping outside, can have the biggest impact on how we feel. Sunlight isn’t just something that makes us feel good – it’s a fundamental part of how our bodies stay healthy. And the best part? It’s free and available to us all. I hope you enjoy listening.
