Understanding Light Exposure and Health
This chapter investigates how light exposure affects hormonal balance and health, with a focus on its surprising link to hair loss. The conversation highlights the importance of minimizing blue light at night and includes recommendations for products to assist listeners in making these changes.
"In my eyes, one of the most common playbooks used by the ruling class is to identify a life-essential resource everyone is using, introduce a new and quote, "better version" of it, and widely promote that new option until the old one is completely displaced.
And then once a market monopoly is established, tighten the screws until the replacement is far worse than what preceded it. But there is no longer any real alternative to it. This has happened in agriculture, education, transportation, medicine, and most recently, social media." — A Midwestern Docter
