Dr. Alexis Cowan: Light, a Deeper Look
Sunlight is such an important part of our natural lives and health, so why do we spend much of our waking days hiding from it indoors?
Light biology researcher and truthteller Dr. Alexis Cowan separates real facts from the science-fiction we’ve been forced to swallow for far too long and explains why it’s so harmful for our bodies to be bathed by “junk light” and so much more this week on Spirit Gym.
Learn more about Alexis and her work on her website and via social media on X/Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram and Patreon. Listen to her Undoctrinate Yourself podcast on Spotify and YouTube. Join Alexis and like-minded folks in her Incubator Book Club.
Paul will be hosting a Q&A session with Dr. Alexis Cowan exclusively for Spirit Gym podcast members in the very near future so sign up today for your Spirit Gym podcast membership!

Paul has identified 6 main groups of people who he had in mind when he designed the Spirit Gym Community membership containing his Purpose-Aligned Path program. If you can relate to ANY of these statements, then Paul Chek’s Spirit Gym Community membership is tailor-made for you.
- You’ve had, what I like to call, The Pull. What I mean by that is you know you’re meant for something more—you feel it, maybe you’ve felt it for years—but you’re stuck in work that doesn’t align, unclear about your exact purpose, and you don’t know how to bridge the gap between where you are and where you are being called to.
- You’re tired of feeling stuck and searching without finding answers. You’ve read the books, maybe taken courses, tried different things—but you still don’t have clear direction. You know you need to take action on what you’re meant to do, but you keep procrastinating… and time keeps passing without real progress.
- You want to live a life where you’re not trapped anymore. One where you wake up in the morning doing work that actually matters to you. Work that aligns with who you are. (Want to feel energized by what you do? You can!) And one where you finally have clarity, direction, and a path forward.
- You’re trapped between following your purpose and paying your bills. Right now, money is the thing holding you back. You want to leave the job that drains you, but you’re terrified: “What about my bills? My family? How do I actually make this work?” You need to know it’s possible to transition without going broke.
- You are ready to find your purpose and start living it now. Even if you aren’t quite sure what it is yet or how to go about doing it. (Don’t worry, that’s exactly what the 8-week system covers.)
- You want to learn from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. I’ve spent 40+ years helping people find their path and live aligned with their purpose—in all sorts of situations and life stages (some challenges you may have never even heard of!). I know what it takes to go from stuck to living your purpose, and I’m going to show you exactly how.
Paul Chek’s “Purpose-Aligned Path” was designed specifically to help YOU find your purpose and actually live it, without staying stuck, procrastinating, or doing it alone! The 8-step process from stuck and procrastinating to living your purpose and the accountability to actually do it!
