Optimize Home Lighting For Circadian Health
- Use circadian smart bulbs or full-spectrum lamps to match blue daytime light and amber/red evening light for better sleep cycles.
- Alternatively, use amber salt-lamp bulbs and blue-blocking glasses at night to avoid Wi-Fi/Bluetooth devices in your bedroom.
How Red Light May Help Parkinson's
- Red light therapy supports mitochondria, reduces inflammation, and improves cerebral blood flow, which can benefit Parkinson's symptoms.
- These three mechanisms together explain why studies show red light may help neurological conditions.
Approach Exercise-Induced Headaches Gradually
- If exercise triggers headaches and brain fog, suspect post-exertional malaise and evaluate for infections, mold, heavy metals, and cortisol issues.
- Start a graduated exercise plan: increase steps and workout duration slowly while addressing deficiencies and toxicities.
