The Biohacker Lounge

You are a being of light, literally and biophysically. 

Your cells emit biophotons, or ultra-weak ultraviolet light, which then trigger the process of mitosis. So the thing that we’re told causes skin cancer is the same thing that our cells are using to signal cell division, a foundational piece of biological function.

Our guest, Matt Maruca, is fascinated by seeming contradictions like this — when what we’re told by the leading authorities seems to contradict logic and common sense — and then he starts asking questions.

Matt’s investigation of light led him to founding Ra Optics, makers of the world's finest blue light blocking glasses, and creating The Light Diet, a diet that directly addresses the root of the modern chronic disease epidemic and mitochondrial dysfunction. But he’s not done yet, and today, we invite you to start asking some questions, too.

We need to start getting intentional about the light in our homes, in our workplaces, in our children’s schools, and in our cities — and we need to start doing something soon.

Because the battle between sunlight and junk light just might be the battle that decides the health of future generations. This isn’t just for you. This is for your mitochondria, your children, and your children’s children.

THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

ORGANIFI. I'm loving Organifi Gold, especially for my night time routine. It has turmeric, ginger, reishi, lemon balm, turkey tail and other rad superfoods, phytonutrients & pain-soothing herbs. My daily routine lately goes like this: in the morning I add it to my nut milk smoothie. At night when I want to chill out, I make a golden latte. I add the power and a healthy fat like ghee, coconut, or grass-fed butter to hot water and voilá! Great warm elixir, really chills you out, gently detoxifies and tastes awesome. Save 20% using code “LIFESTYLIST” at organifi.com/luke.

AND...

JUST THRIVE. Imagine this: a probiotic that actually does what it is supposed to do! I’ve tried so many different supplements, and when you find the right one — the one that really works — it’s like winning the lottery. So I was psyched when I tried Just Thrive Probiotic, the first and only spore-based probiotics and antioxidants. Their products have been the subject of groundbreaking clinical studies and demonstrated incomparable effects on the gut, even healing leaky gut. It’s super simple and it just works. You can use code ‘luke15’ for 15% off at www.thriveprobiotic.com/luke.

AND…

JOOVV. If you’ve been listening for a while or following Luke on social media, you’ve probably seen him raving about red light therapy, or photobiomodulation. There are over 3000 published clinical papers on light therapy – over 200 being double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled – making this arguably the most well-researched bio hack in Luke’s arsenal. Some of the benefits include increased skin health, better muscle recovery, better sexual performance, and reduced joint pain and inflammation. So you can see why Luke is so into it... and why all of his friends keep coming over to use his Joovv device!
