Have you ever felt tired but wired… or just straight-up drained no matter how healthy you're trying to live? Maybe you’ve battled jet lag, seasonal blues, brain fog, or that mid-afternoon energy crash that hits outta nowhere. Well, friend, this episode is your wake-up call—literally.

I sat down with my friend Gary Miller, a former pro ski coach and world traveler now living in Germany, to chat about something that’s been a game-changer in my wellness routine for years—the HumanCharger.

It’s a small device with big impact. We're talking light therapy through your ears (yep, you heard that right!)—and it’s been helping people reset their circadian rhythm, boost energy, improve focus, and even perform better in high-stress jobs and sports.

Gary shares his and his wife’s personal transformation stories, why this Finnish-made device is unlike any SAD lamp you’ve ever tried, and how it’s helping everyone from doctors and shift workers to Olympic athletes and military pilots.

This isn’t just about tech—it’s about getting back to the kind of light your body was designed to thrive on. You’ll walk away inspired, encouraged, and equipped with practical info on how to use light for healing and performance.

So if you’ve been feeling a little “off,” this might be the solution you didn’t know you needed.
