How Light Heals: The Forgotten Medicine of the Sun
In this episode of The Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno explores how our relationship with light — both natural and artificial — shapes every system in the body. From sleep and mood to metabolism and longevity, light governs our circadian rhythm and hormonal balance in profound ways.
Jeff breaks down the science of blue light, infrared radiation, and vitamin D synthesis, revealing how morning sunlight, time in nature, and even darkness play essential roles in human health. You’ll also learn simple, evidence-based protocols for aligning your body’s natural clock, improving sleep quality, and reducing stress — by returning to the rhythms our ancestors lived by.

The New Science of Women's Health with Tamsen Fadal & Dr. Amy Killen
In this episode of The Commune Podcast, we revisit and combine two powerful conversations on women’s hormonal health — featuring Dr. Amy Killen and Tamsen Fadal. Together, they unpack one of the biggest medical misunderstandings of the modern era: how misinformation about menopause and hormone therapy has left millions of women suffering in silence.
Amy and Tamsen explore what really happened after the flawed 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study, how fear and stigma shaped an entire generation’s view of hormones, and what today’s research reveals about safe, effective treatments. From understanding perimenopause to exploring bioidentical hormone therapy, vaginal estradiol, and lifestyle changes that support longevity, this mashup is a vital roadmap for women at every stage of life.

Metabolism Is Power with Dr. Casey Means
This talk was recorded on stage at Luminescence in February 2025, just three months before Dr. Casey Means' nomination to be U.S. surgeon general. Her message has ignited both praise and controversy: that the best way to address our nation’s health crisis isn’t with more pills or procedures, but by understanding the root cause of disease — our broken metabolism.

Who Was Dr. Casey Means Before Politics?
On October 30, Dr. Casey Means will appear before the Senate for confirmation as the next U.S. Surgeon General. Three years ago, we worked closely with Casey to record a full-length course and several podcast episodes for Commune. Today’s interview from 2022 offers insight into Casey’s fundamental beliefs about health — before politics got involved.
The Commune Podcast is where we explore the ideas and practices that help us live healthy, connected, purpose-filled lives. Each week host Jeff Krasno speaks with teachers, spiritual leaders, doctors, and storytellers on topics related to personal and societal well-being — from nutrition and integrative medicine to spirituality and personal growth to environmental regeneration and civic engagement. In addition to being a podcast, Commune is also an online course platform with more than 100 full-length video courses with top teachers such as Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Mark Hyman, Adriene Mishler, and many others.
