We’re bringing back a favorite—nutrition headlines! And this version just might be our best! In today’s episode, we are sharing four new nutrition studies. There’s new research on bright light treatment and using it for more than just seasonal depression. Are night owls smarter than early risers? Or is being a “morning lark” better? You might not be to blame for your kids’ fussy eating tendencies. And does having a sweet tooth predispose you to some health conditions?

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Have you ever wondered if the color you’re wearing influences people’s impression of you or impacts your productivity that day? Or is there a certain room in your house that’s painted in a color which seems to automatically calm and relax you? Yes, the simple color of a wall or shirt or logo has the ability to alter your emotions and impressions. And really your overall mood.

When was the last time you thought about iron? It can be an easily overlooked mineral in our diet. Turns out, it deserves a little more attention and fanfare, especially for the role it plays in brain health.
