The book begins by explaining the endocrine system and photobiology before diving into the specific roles of serotonin, melatonin, and vitamin D. It draws from research in endocrinology, neuroscience, and epidemiology, examining studies on seasonal affective disorder and the impact of shift work. It also touches on how geographical location impacts hormonal health.
