Humans are solar powered. And I have only touched the surface. Each wavelength of sunlight has a job to do. Infrared, red, blue, UVA, UVB... they all trigger different systems. Sunlight is a biological signal that helps to regulate: → Mitochondrial energy production. → Gene expression & circadian rhythm. → Appetite, fat-burning, and blood sugar. → Brain function, sleep, and mental clarity. → Immunity, wound healing, and inflammation. → Hormones like serotonin, cortisol, and melatonin. Next time sometimes tells you to avoid or block the sun, you can tell them that's not a good idea. Sunlight is a nutrient, we are solar powered. ____ ? = Circumstantial evidence but likely in my eyes. There is an overlap between some wavelengths e.g. Red & Infrared and visible light has not been extensively studied.

We’ve all heard of ultra-processed foods. What about ultra-processed light? Ultra-processed food drives obesity and chronic disease but ultra-processed light does the same. → Unprocessed light (sunlight) sets your circadian rhythm, supports mitochondrial health, improves mood, regulates hormones, and so much more. → Processed light (fire, candle, incandescent) is more aligned with human biology. Just like some processed foods it can be good for you. → Ultra-processed light (LEDs, screens, blue-rich bulbs at night) disrupts melatonin, sleep, metabolism, and hunger cues. If you’ve cleaned up your food. Now it’s time to clean up your light. → Get outside within 30 minutes of waking. → Work near an open window & take light breaks. → Avoid bright overhead LEDs after sunset. → Use circadian friendly low level lighting. → Wear blue blockers at night. Natural light is a nutrient. Ultra-processed light is a junk input. If you want optimal health, eat real food and live under real light.

Most see a simple light bulb. I see one of the greatest threats to human health. This threat: → Disrupts sleep → Increases cravings → Slows fat metabolism → Suppresses melatonin → Leads to metabolic dysfunction And nobody knows about it. Wrong light at the wrong time sends the wrong signals to your body. Fixing it is straightforward.

What is causing Metabolic Syndrome & Obesity? Mitochondrial Dysfunction → Leptin Resistance → Fat Storage This leads to two pathways: 1. Low Personal Fat Threshold → Cannot store more fat → Insulin Resistance → Metabolic Syndrome 2. High Personal Fat Threshold → Can store more fat → Insulin Sensitive → Obesity (Then eventually Metabolic Syndrome)
