Dark Days, Bright Nights – Is Circadian Biology The Missing Link In Patient Health?
With the ever-increasing distance between the natural environment and where, when, and how humans spend their time, the gap has also widened between what our genes are programmed to respond to and the stimuli they are receiving.
You’re seeing it every day: patients doing everything right, yet still exhausted, overweight, and sleepless. The missing piece? Light timing. Too little bright light by day, too much artificial light by night. This simple mismatch disrupts metabolism, cortisol, and melatonin and can impact your treatments. Amie will discuss how adjusting their light exposure can support your protocols to be more effective.
Optimise Patient Care with Effective Lifestyle Protocols
Our current relationship with light diverges from our ancestral past; higher levels of artificial light at night (ALAN) and lower exposure to natural light during the day are now commonplace, and this is altering the timing of human activity and disconnecting our biology from nature. As a result, it’s compromising almost every aspect of human health, including mood, sleep, energy, metabolism, hormone production, and even the gut microbiome.

Amie Skilton’s professional journey spans nearly two decades as a functional medicine practitioner and educator in naturopathic medicine. Her expertise has brought her to conference stages, television, and digital platforms, where she has addressed a broad audience that includes functional medicine practitioners and the general public.
Amie’s approach deeply integrates environmental factors with traditional health practices, emphasising the significance of a harmonious relationship between individuals and their surroundings for optimal health.
In 2017, Amie’s personal health journey took a significant turn when she was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a condition often associated with mould exposure. This diagnosis transformed her health perspective and led her to become a certified Mould Testing Technician.
Amie’s experience with CIRS has greatly influenced her practice, emphasising the built environment’s impact on health. Thus, she has expanded her clinical focus to include environmental health hazards alongside conventional naturopathic treatments.

Deep Dive into Restoring Circadian Alignment
Designs for Health Education
I really enjoy your webinars. The presenters are engaging and concise, presenting information pertinent to the clinician setting rather than emphasising research facts is welcome. Personal stories also provide an authentic connection. Thank you
Desley LockThanks for this clear, insightful information. I have found any of the webinars or seminars I’ve attended have been useful, with little nuggets that pop back into mind when relevant.
Roz FitzgeraldExcellent in-depth training, provides extensive and well-illustrated explanations and summaries, easy to understand. Really appreciate this comprehensive self-paced practitioner training.
Duong TranI really enjoyed the webinar on Autoimmunity. The simplicity of the treatment protocols and the results were mind-blowing! The research studies to back up treatment protocols are great resources too.
The DFH education and webinars are awesome. I have learnt so much, thank you.
