This remarkable interview paves a way for ‘healthy agriculture, healthy nutrition, and healthy people.’

Professor Richard G. Stevens pioneered the link between electric light at night, circadian disruption and breast cancer. Since this discovery his work has focused on the electric light pollution in modern environments and its influence on our sleep/wake cycle, and physiology. Professor Stevens is questioning to what extent circadian disruption compromises human health and accounts for modern pandemics of chronic diseases such as breast and prostate cancers, obesity, diabetes and depression.

Angela specialises in fertility, hormones and pregnancy care viewing the dynamic interplay of genes, physiology and environment from a very personalized, humanistic perspective.
