This in-depth conversation with Tristan Scott discusses how light affects our mitochondria and hormones and the importance of limiting blue light for radical health. Ever wondered why your sleep feels off after a long day under harsh digital lights or how a simple incandescent bulb might actually nourish your biology?
In this video, I dive headfirst into what our modern light environment—think flickering LEDs, blue light dominance, and missing infrared—really does to our circadian rhythms, energy, and even our mitochondrial health. I share some eye-opening experiments that compare the spectrum of artificial indoor lighting with the natural balance of sunlight and fire, and I explain how small tweaks (from switching out bulbs to rethinking our screen habits) could transform the way we live.
