1 hr 6 min

Regina Lausell founder and owner Light Vitality Group joins the Love Light Reset podcast with Julie Conway to tell her emotional real-life story of her son's premature childbirth and her uphill battle with her son's life in the balance due to lack of light.   ABOUT REGINA LAUSELL Regina came from an architecture and lighting design background and had a career as a lighting product representative when she founded the Light Vitality Group  in 2017. Regina recognized the gap from several industries from the lighting product design to the purchasing and implementation that leaves at least a disjointed design, but more often, places with over bright lighting, lack of lighting and lighting that can cause health issues.   The LVG is a collaborative platform for light wellness support, bridging inter-industry representatives who share one common undertone: to support an individual's wellness so they have the ability to live life to the fullest. Regina's knowledge of circadian health light cycles and lighting products quite literally saved her son's life.   IN THIS EPISODE Regina's baby Luca was born at 25 weeks gestation at nearly 1 pound.  He had 12 surgeries before the age of 4, and fought for his life with many specialists that learned through his journey the importance of light in the healing process.   Luca's first weeks of life were in a completely dark NICU that had no natural light.  Luca was given less than 1-5% chance to live.  When Luca was moved to a specialty hospital, he was given a room with a window, and he immediately began to thrive. Luca's journey striving for life and his journey through the hospital systems  & specialists became Regina's ULTIMATE CASE STUDY for the effect of full spectrum window light on healing.   Luca literally lives today because of his exposure to daylight.  And he had to make that death defying choice twice.  When he was moved again back to a dark inner room with only artificial light, his health failed immediately and...

Returning to Circadian Rhythm With Zaid Dahhaj: Introducing Natural Practices to Balance Health, Improve Vitality and Resist Aging With Proper Light Diet

56 min

Light does more than illuminate a room—it helps shape the atmosphere of our everyday lives. In this Love Light Reset conversation, Julie Conway welcomes Zaid Dahhaj to explore his perspective on circadian rhythm and our relationship with natural light. From the first light of morning to the lamps we choose at night, they discuss the small details that can get lost in a busy, screen-filled day. Zaid shares what drew him into circadian education, why he distinguishes daybreak from sunrise, and how he thinks about stacking environmental cues. Julie brings her experience as a glass artist and lighting designer to a conversation about light, comfort and the spaces where we feel at ease.   ABOUT  ZAID DAHHAJ Zaid Dahhaj is a self-educated circadian biology educator and the writer behind The Circadian Classroom. In this episode, he describes his background in competitive soccer and the loss of his father as part of the personal story behind his interest in health. He shares the thinking behind his 80/20 course and discusses developing educational work for estheticians. No medical qualification or clinical expertise is implied.   IN THIS EPISODE Julie first connected with Zaid through a shared interest in light and the environments we create around ourselves. Together, they explore morning routines, body clocks, evening habits and the pressures of modern life. Their lighting conversation goes beyond a simple incandescent-versus-LED comparison. Zaid discusses flicker, spectrum information and why he sees a place for some circadian-adjacent LEDs, while Julie shares the importance of warmth, atmosphere and thoughtful design in her work. The conversation also touches on his course, the role of personal curiosity and the value of asking questions without dismissing the place of medical care. Personal experiences and guest perspectives are presented as discussion, not guarantees of health outcomes.   YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT The experiences that led Zaid from competitive soc...
