What the Sun Has to Do with Blood Sugar, Behavior & Picky Eating with Dani Hamilton, FNTP
What if picky eating, energy crashes, sugar cravings, and even hormone imbalance weren’t just about what your child eats — but when they see the sun?
In this eye-opening episode of The Livin'Sky Podcast, I’m joined by blood sugar and metabolic health expert Dani Hamilton — and we go far beyond glucose.
Dani and I talk about:
- Why sunlight and circadian rhythm matter just as much (or more!) than food when it comes to blood sugar regulation and mood
- How metabolic health and light exposure affect children’s behavior, cravings, and resilience
- What picky eating might be telling us about underlying blood sugar swings, sensory needs, or nervous system stress
- Why “nature is the medicine” — and how to make simple, low-cost shifts that support real healing
- The truth about vitamin D supplements, sunscreen, and what you actually need to thrive
We also talk about motherhood, trauma recovery, and postpartum healing through the lens of light, rhythm, and nourishment.
This is one of those episodes that will have you nodding, pausing, and maybe even running outside barefoot with your kids. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you’re doing all the right things but still stuck in the same food battles — this conversation is your permission slip to simplify and reconnect.
Because sometimes, it’s not about doing more... it’s about coming back to what nature already knows.
