You deserve results on your journey to leaner, healthier, and happier. 

And it's safe to assume that your life is busy. 

That’s why we created this series of brief articles to give you a quick rundown of the science behind an effective strategy and then the strategy itself. 

This is the first installment in that series. 

Now, if you’re like many clients we serve, you are seeking weight loss, so this first article will focus on a strategy to help control your appetite so you can remain consistent with your plan. 

We’ll start with the science (don’t worry, there won’t be any test) and then cover the strategy. If you want, jump straight to the strategy section.

The Science:

There is a hormone called melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) that plays a key role in pigmentation, has anti-inflammatory effects, and most importantly for our discussion, suppresses hunger. 

MSH is released by ultraviolet light to the eyes. 

Sunlight contains UV light. 

The research points to a minimum of 2 minutes of sunlight exposure. 

The Strategy:

Safe exposure of the eyes to UV-containing light, ideally sunlight, will stimulate MSH release. 

MSH will bind to receptors in the brain and keep the appetite in check. 

With appetite better regulated, you will find consistent compliance with your weight loss plan to be easier and more enjoyable. 

To sum it up…The Summary:

• MSH is a hormone that reduces hunger

• MSH is stimulated when the eyes are exposed to UV light

• Regular, healthy exposure to sunlight can stimulate MSH, making your weight loss journey easier and more enjoyable

One sentence takeaway:

Daily, safe exposure to sunlight can help regulate your hunger, making your weight loss journey easier.
