This episode is a replay of a podcast I was on recently with Lexy Leigh on The Peace Of Me podcast. I got to chat about all the things I am so deeply passionate about, like holistic health, our circadian rhythm - what is it, why it is so important, our light / dark cycles, how to optimise your energy & daily habits & practices to make you feel your best!!!"Joining the podcast from Australia, my guest Sophie Kate (host of the Optimise podcast) dives into the many ways our environments affect our sleep, energy, internal clock and much more. In this episode, Sophie shares so much wisdom to help us better understand the effects of artificial and natural light, getting outside, fresh air and how our routines can be making a negative impact on our health.Not only will this conversation open your eyes (and ears), but Sophie will share several ways you can implement small changes today, to give you better sleep and feel better in your own body.

This week I’m chatting about something that impacts all of us — even if we can’t see it, feel it, or notice it in the moment: EMFs (electromagnetic fields), & I get quite fiery and passionate about it 😝Here’s the wild part… we’re now exposed to 1 billion billion times more EMFs than humans were just 100 years ago. Our bodies haven’t had time to adapt, and all that invisible buzzing from Wi-Fi, phones, AirPods and smart devices (including your Alexa & bluetooth keyboards!!) can leave us feeling anxious, wired but exhausted, foggy, and just off.We can't escape it. It's everywhere 🤓But don’t worry, you don’t need to go live in the middle of nowhere to protect yourself. In this episode I’m sharing:📊 The crazy stat that shows just how much EMF exposure has skyrocketed 📱 Common everyday sources of EMFs that most of us don’t even think about ⚡️ How EMFs mess with your sleep, hormones, mood, and energy 🌍 Why stepping outside instantly helps your body reset 🌿 8 simple, holistic habits to balance out tech stress (without ditching your phone or tech entirely) ✨ A little challenge you can try this week to feel calmer and more groundedIf you’ve ever felt drained after being on screens or wondered what all this invisible energy is doing to your body — this episode will give you some answers (and some easy things you can start today!!)Links mentioned:Boncharge blue blocking glasses / bulbs:https://boncharge.com - code is SOPHIE15Download Opal and change your life!!! 30 days free here 🍒 Wanting support with your health holistically?1:1 holistic health coaching + mentorship available - dm me on IG to learn more or enquire hereConnect with me:IG: @iamsophiekateLinks: https://msha.ke/iamsophiekate🎧✨🍋⚡️🌞🪩   🪩 If you loved this ep + are enjoying the pod - please make sure to follow so you don’t miss out on any of the delicious episodes coming up 😍⚡️ If you feel called - share to your IG stories & tag iamsophiekate🌞 AND, it would mean the absolute world if you rated & reviewed, I love any feedback + want to make this better for all of you trusting me in your earholes!
