Hi Katie! I’m looking to get the wake light you recommend but Amazon says it’s unavailable. Is there another one you recommend? Thanks!

Hi! I discovered your blog shortly ago and am so glad I did! Iam learning a lot and find everything so relevant and informative. This is a great post. I am especially curious about your earthing sheet that you keep in your nightstand. Do you have a specific post about it? I am curious to know how to use it and what for. I just very recently came across the toxicity of EMFs and am still gathering information to handle it in my house. If you have more info or a specific post about earthing sheets I would love to hear it. Thank you!!

Im really surprised to see that you are wearing a FitBit. Aren’t you worried about the EMFs? I tried to wear one for sleeping tracking as well but I found that it kept me awake at night. Does this one not emit a signal?

As a color & light therapist I am so delighted to see the wake light and the glasses! And especially happy to see the glasses are orange and not red as so many mistakenly think is the correct way to counter screen light.

I just found you last week and I immediately went to my local whole food/health store to buy a jar of coconut oil. I love it, it has stopped my cravings and I’ve lost five lbs so far. I think a lot of it is bloat and water weight.
Is it possible to “get too much of a good thing”? I use it(coconut oil) in my coffee in the morning and a couple times during the day. Soon I will be adding gelatin into the regime.
I am on a soap box about this because it works but I don’t want to overdo it either.

Those that laugh or don’t take the blue blocking glasses at night time seriously need to!

I’ve done a few podcasts with Dr. Richard Hansler who founded a company helping to reduce blue light exposure at night which has been linked to a large reduction in melatonin, therefore increasing rates of cancer and weight gain as well as diabetes.

what autoimmune disease are you battling currently? I just had our first baby and was diagnosed with hashimoto’s right after her birth. Now I’m in a similar predicament, wanting to be my healthiest for baby #2…

I buy it in 5 gallon buckets that I usually use up in about 6-7 months. However, I have a small batch of the really good smelling tasty stuff (that costs a lot) that I’ve had in the cupboard for probably two years. Every now and then I get some out to make a baked sweet potato dish we like. It is still just fine.

Coconut oil has antibacterial properties in it…I’m assuming that’s why it stays good in the cupboard all by itself.

My kitchen is not kept at a cool temperature, either and I live in Oklahoma where it is mostly humid.

I spread coconut oil on my poor dog’s back during his allergy season to eliminate the bacteria caused by his allergies. I put it on any kind of fungus that tries to take hold on my skin.

LOVE coconut oil. I eat it and slather it on me, make lotions with it. Use it for oil pulling….etc!

What do you sleep on? Do you have an organic mattress? I’m trying to narrow down if our mattress/pillows is a source of health concern in our home.

I’ve got this one as well. I’m hesitating to use it though because I can’t judge how much oil output would be too much with a 9 month old in the bedroom. How do you do that? Thanks! (Also thanks for lotion bars, perfect whipped body butter and all those other things that my whole family loves…)
