The mitochondria are not just the powerhouse of the cell; they are the engines that run our entire body. If we can remove the obstructions to energy production (calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis) everything works better, we experience mental clarity and emotional resilience.

The Complexities of Natural and Artificial Light Exposure with Dr Alexander Wunsch
Episode 304
Friday, 13 December, 2024

Most people take the light in their life for granted. People wear dark glasses to block light during the daytime and nothing on their eyes at night. This gives the retina in the eye the signal that night time when its really daytime and that its daytime when its really night time. This small example illustrates how disconnected humans have become with their environment and this circadian mismatch coincides with the rise in neolithic diseases. Dr Alexander Wunsch has been studying the science of photobiology for decades and joins us to share his thoughts on how we can improve our relationship with light, both natural and artificial. I ask him about incandescent versus LED lights, he explains why darker skinned people do not have more melanin, which types of skin cancer come from overexposure to sunlight, how to determine your tolerance to sunlight, his thoughts on photosensitizers, which wavelengths of light window panes block, his thoughts on sauna therapy, vitamin D, why he doesn't like narrowband UV light devices, why red light panels are not quasi-monochromatic and why he's concerned with them, and more.
