Episode notes
Light Directly Programs Cellular Metabolism
- Light controls biology by initiating the cell cycle and directing metabolic pathways.
- UV drives which metabolic routes (glycolysis vs TCA) cells use, altering metabolism.
Midday UV And Winter Cold Are Complementary
- UV at midday reaches skin with native frequencies and powers physiological functions.
- Cold winters compensate by producing mitochondrial heat and internal UV-like biophotons.
Food Carries Seasonal Light Information
- Plants store photons in sugars which program human metabolism when eaten.
- Eating out-of-season produce sends seasonal light signals that shift energy vs fat storage.
