Dr. Alexander Wunsch is one of the world’s foremost experts on everything light. If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you know how passionate I am about biohacking my environment, and light is a big part of that, and it was a dream of mine to have Dr. Wunsch on the show to help me clear some things up.
Because there is a lot of conflicting information out there about whether you should avoid sunlight and the risks of living indoors, where we’re bombarded with artificial light. So, Dr. Wunsch is here to clear up any misconceptions and teach us what we need to know to optimize our health and the health of our families.
This information is also particularly pertinent to maintaining your physical, mental, and spiritual wellness during this period of time when people all around the world are spending more time at home than usual, exposing themselves to even less natural light and even more toxic light.
After listening to this episode, you will understand why our light environment is just as important as our air, food, and water — and you are going to look at your blue-blocking glasses (or the people you have made fun of for wearing blue-blocking glasses) in a whole new light.
06:00 — What is photobiology?
10:45 — The different types of lighting we are exposed to & how they affect us
20:37 — Did offices, schools, factories, hospitals, and big-box stores adopt artificial blue lights knowing about their harmful effects? Or did they just want to save money?
35:40 — The legislation that made selling incandescent bulbs illegal (to save energy) & the legislation that was passed to make it legal again
47:30 — A deep dive into the negative biological effects of blue light
01:06:50 — Why LED and fluorescent lights suck so bad & the difference between the two
01:25:40 — Why we need a direct connection to outside
01:36:35 — The mercury photons coming from fluorescent bulbs
01:42:00 — The hierarchy of indoor lighting: is any of it not junk?

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.

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! If you are ready to get your own Joovv device + a FREE gift, head over to Joovv.com/luke and enter the code “LUKE” at checkout.
AND…
BLUBLOX. BLUblox offers a complete range of evidence-backed blue light blocking glasses to suit every need (and, as a rad bonus, you won’t look like a tool while you’re wearing them). Plus, they even do prescription and reading glasses now, as well as an epic send-your-own frame service, both using the same world-renowned blue light blocking lenses. I’ve also been digging their new REMedy Sleep Mask, which blocks out 100% of the light while you’re sleeping. And it’s not just great for better sleep — it can also be used for meditation, deep touch pressure therapy, air travel, and migraine relief! You can get all of this epicness and more by using the code LIFESTYLIST for 15% off at BLUblox.com.
