    The Biggest Nutrient Deficiency You’ve Never Heard Of: Light

    Episode Summary Light isn’t just illumination—it’s information. It’s nutrition. It governs our hormones, sleep cycles, metabolism, mood, and even cellular repair. But we’re no longer living in sync with its rhythms. In this episode, we explore why most people are chronically light-deficient, how artificial light is disrupting our biology, and what you can do to restore your natural light hygiene. From flickering screens to filtered windows to the overuse of sunscreen, we break down the myths and the science—and help you reclaim the most powerful healing tool available: the sun. What You’ll Learn Why natural sunlight is essential for circadian rhythm, hormone production, and mitochondrial health How artificial blue light and invisible screen flicker negatively affect your brain and body What non-native EMFs are and how they amplify the effects of artificial light exposure Why blocking all UV light may be increasing your risk for skin cancer, not preventing it How indoor light, sunglasses, and windows distort the full-spectrum light your body needs The connection between modern light exposure and rising rates of insomnia, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, and depression Three Ways to Restore Your Light Hygiene Get unfiltered sunlight in your eyes and on your skin every morning 5–10 minutes without glasses, contacts, or sunscreen Resets your circadian rhythm, lowers cortisol, and boosts serotonin Grounding barefoot while doing this also helps discharge EMFs Block artificial blue light at night Use blue light-blocking glasses after sunset (400–550nm range) Install Iris or f.lux on all devices Avoid screens 60–90 minutes before bed Fix your indoor lighting Replace LEDs and fluorescents with incandescent, halogen, or amber bulbs Use full-spectrum lighting during the day Create light hygiene zones: bright and balanced in the morning, warm and dim after sunset Referenced ResourcePaul Saladino + Tristan Scott: The Truth About Light This is a public episode.

    How We Lost—And Reclaimed—Desire: A Raw Conversation About the Erotic Revival We Never Saw Coming

    “When survival becomes the primary language in your relationship, pleasure is the first thing to go.” In today’s intimate and revealing conversation, Rea and Alex open up about what it really looks like to lose desire in a long-term relationship—and the radical steps they took to get it back. It’s not just about sex, monogamy, marriage, or a mismatched libido. It’s about the deeper layers: The shame. The silence. The truths we’re too afraid to tell. For the first time, Rea admits to the quiet lies she’s carried—about satisfaction, about settling, and about what it really means to stay. And Alex shares his own emotional repression, how it affected their intimacy, and the transformation that followed when they chose to burn the script and start over. Together, they reveal: ✅ Why desire dies in the name of duty—and how to revive it✅ The impact of stress, parenting, and disconnection on intimacy✅ The six-month decision that changed everything✅ The honest conversations that led to radical reconnection✅ How separating bedrooms (yes, really) brought them closer✅ Why sex isn’t the goal—truth isWhether you’re in a long-term relationship, newly dating, or facing a disconnect you can’t name, this conversation invites you to examine what you really want… and what it might take to reclaim it.

    The Nervous System You Inherited—And How to Rewire It

    In this vulnerable and eye-opening episode of Unreachable, Rea and Alex explore how the nervous system we inherit—from our parents, our culture, and even past generations—becomes the invisible operating system that governs how we move through life. From overreacting to minor stressors to struggling with rest, money, and relationships, so many of our patterns aren’t personal—they’re programmed. But here’s the truth: your wiring is not your destiny. It’s just your starting point. Together, they unpack: * How generational trauma and household dynamics shape your nervous system * The hidden ways dysregulation shows up in “normal” behavior (perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, overachieving) * Why you can’t think your way to calm—and what to do instead * Real tools to begin unwinding old programming and creating safety from within * What it actually feels like to reclaim your inner rhythm and trust your body again Whether you’ve felt “off” for years or just starting to recognize your responses aren’t really you, this conversation will help you remember: You can return to who you were before the world taught you how to react.

    You're Not a Brand. You're a Human.

    In this episode of The Unreachable Podcast, Rea and Alex dive into one of the biggest lies creators are told today: that to succeed, you have to be a full-time marketer. We unpack the nervous system toll of constant visibility, the pressure to build a personal brand, and what it really means to share your work without selling yourself out. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, writer, healer, or human who feels overwhelmed by “the algorithm,” this one’s for you. What We Cover: Why the “brand yourself to be legitimate” myth is a disservice to creators The emotional + physiological cost of always being visible Can you grow without social media? (Short answer: yes.) Alternative paths to sharing your work—without burning out What You'll Learn: How to treat visibility as a byproduct—not the goal What “invisible influence” content is, and how to use it Why slower, deeper, more human marketing works better How to flip the funnel and build with your people, not at them Why co-creation > conversion (every time) Plus:We ask a powerful question that could reframe how you share your work moving forward:👉 How do I create something so clear, true, and resonant that people share it for me?
