Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Ex-Tech Mogul: The Spiritual Cost Of Screens (Mind Control)
Jan 26, 2026
Tristan Scott, founder and EMF/light expert who built Daylight Computer after recovering from a traumatic brain injury. He discusses how artificial light and EMFs hijack attention and circadian rhythm. They cover nature as baseline, designing technology that reduces flicker and blue light, and why aligned light environments matter for focus, creativity, and human sensitivity.
01:27:23
Off-Grid Zero RF Experiment
- Tristan lived off-grid in Wyoming with Starlink, solar, and batteries and measured RF as zero in the wilderness.
- That baseline environment let him experience deep parasympathetic states and clearer rhythm.
Electromagnetic Inputs Outsize Food
- Electromagnetic inputs are consumed continuously and vastly outpace food or water as biological signals.
- Modern EMF exposures are qualitatively different from anything humans evolved with and deeply alter physiology.
Reset By Reclaiming Natural Light Cycles
- Get into environments with near-zero RF, full-spectrum sun, and true dark nights to let biology reset.
- Use natural cues (daylight, dark nights, seasons) to entrain hormones, sleep, and metabolism.

Is modern technology draining your body and spirit by hijacking your attention and circadian rhythm?
Josh Trent welcomes Tristan Scott, EMF expert, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 796, to reveal how EMFs and artificial light disrupt circadian rhythm, mitochondria, and melatonin, why modern screens keep us locked in fight or flight, how nature and light function as biological nutrition, what his concussion taught him about neuro sensitivity and human awareness, and why creating technology aligned with nature may be essential for the future of human health, creativity, and consciousness.

"We're dehumanized and we're no longer able to feel. We're conscious and highly sensitive beings, which is the deepest form of the human experience, but we're voluntarily signing up for mind control. Every time we open our phone, we lose touch with reality. We've put so much noise into our environment and the signal is now completely lost. That's why no one's intuitive." — Tristan Scott
