Fit Mother Project Podcast

By: Fit Mother Project
  • Summary

  • It is no secret that Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of today’s families. The amount of work, errands, tasks, and support mothers do day in and day out is never-ending. It’s keeping the household and family running. It’s planning birthday parties and family activities. It’s running to the grocery store while waiting to pick up the dry cleaning. It’s making sure the kids and spouse have everything they need… often putting themselves and their health last. It can feel like an Invisible Burden... an evergrowing weight carried on the shoulders of many moms. And our society expects mothers to carry this load without question. What happens when we carry additional weight…? Our bodies are stressed and challenged in a magnitude of ways that can lead to stress, poor health. The Invisible Burden can lead to weight gain, constant low energy, hormone imbalance. It can lead to being stretched beyond reach. What’s worse is that hardworking mothers like you bearing this burden, are often not seen or acknowledged for carrying the contributions and the acts of the family. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, society often expects you to carry the invisible burden without question. If you’re a working mom, you’re also expected to carry the invisible burden just as much while working to provide an income to your family. You have so many important things pulling you in different directions that it often means you put yourself… and your health… last. I’m Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Founder, and CEO of the Fit Mother Project and the host of this podcast… and I get all of this. Growing up… my dad died when I was 9 years old… and my mom became a widow with two young boys… and she had to fight to raise us and keep our family together. I started the Fit Mother Project and created this podcast with the sole purpose of helping create stronger and more powerful mothers through losing weight without restrictive diets, crazy workouts, or the image of “being perfect.” Our Fit Mother team has helped over 10,000 women become a stronger more fit version of themselves and we know this podcast will help you do the same on your journey to a better you. You can take care of your family and work… and still make time for yourself and your health. I’ll show you how XYZ. It’s time for you to put yourself and your health first.

Guti shares his personal journey from health struggles to discovering the benefits of sunlight, including its role in boosting testosterone and improving mental health.

    They discuss the different spectrums of sunlight, particularly the importance of UVB for vitamin D production, and how our modern lifestyles often lead to deficiencies despite access to sunlight. Together, they explain the significance of light in regulating circadian rhythms and overall health and introduce innovative solutions for optimizing vitamin D levels through targeted light therapy.

    Together, they discuss the critical role of sunlight and light therapy in health, focusing on vitamin D production, the benefits of infrared light, and the importance of creating a biocompatible light environment.


    They also discuss how natural sunlight impacts hormonal health, particularly testosterone levels, and share practical tips for optimizing light exposure in daily life.


    All of this highlights our need for natural light and the potential of light therapy devices as alternatives for those unable to access sufficient sunlight.

    • Personal experiences can lead to significant health transformations.
    • Sunlight exposure can naturally boost testosterone and serotonin levels.
    • Infrared light constitutes a large portion of sunlight's energy.
    • UVB is essential for vitamin D synthesis and overall health.
    • Vitamin D impacts a significant portion of our genome.
    • Seasonal changes can lead to vitamin D deficiencies.
    • Circadian rhythms are influenced by light exposure.
    • Innovative light therapy can mimic natural sunlight benefits.
