Light is addictive, according to Dr. Kruse. And if one of the types of late we're getting all day is harmful, we have a problem.
Listen to this podcast to find out more about blue light damage.
Listen to hear:
1. How our screens don't include the full spectrum, which would normally balance out the blue light.
2. How this constant blue light from our screens is disrupting our melatonin signaling and affecting our health in multiple ways, and
3. What the filtering from blue light glasses benefit, including better sleep, overall health, memory, and behavior.
Dr. Jack Kruse and Lucia Eyes CEO Daniel Huber talk about blue light's effect on sleep and additional health concerns. Dan Huber tells his troubling story of experiencing several health pitfalls after moving into his new house. After numerous tests and doctors, he finally figured out that he was having a strong reaction to mold in his house.
After more research, he found that constant exposure to blue light was making him extremely sensitive to this mold. This started a journey that led him to start Lucia Eyes, where they create high quality eye protection in the form of blue light filter glasses that are suitable for the whole family.
Dr. Kruse explains the science behind these effects. He tells listeners that blue light by itself is present in the sun, but sunlight balances it out with other colors that are its antidote, like red light. Unfortunately, our screens are dominated by this blue light and have a set color temperature equivalent to solar noon. Constant exposure to this disturbs our circadian rhythm. How? Well, this light exposure can affect dopamine and other hormones and can even cause psychological problems. In fact, the hormone melatonin controls our mitochondrial energy production.
Blue light disrupts melatonin production and we breathe less, sleep less, and suffer effects on our basic metabolic rate from overexposure. Some research even shows effects in memory. Together, Dr. Kruse and Dan Huber explain how Lucia Eyes has made glasses to combat this blue light exposure with both daylight and evening options. They explain the numbers and levels behind different blue light filters and Dan explains how their blue light glasses have worked to improve the health of his entire family.

Every time I listen to jack, I learn something new.
great info - an excellent intro for anyone who wants to understand why getting sunlight is SO important, and why blue-lit screens and LED lights are so detrimental to human wellbeing.
That's what I do - I go camping off grid and with no caffeine - and I end up sleeping with very vivid dreams - and catching up on sleep - and meditating a lot.
Thank you so much for this interview. Hugely important.
I'm so glad to hear Dr. Jack Kruse in your format - as a conversation. Because whether it's his writing style or his monologues - it's very difficult to follow all the various strands of information. The logical structure gets too complicated. Maybe he needs an editor. haha. I get the same criticism of my research but I'm not trying to spread a message or anything. I just did the research for my own and anything else was just a byproduct. thanks
Yep!….he might be very smart…but…he cannot communicate very well at all!…🤯
He flat out sucks at communicating and it’s sad because he could really break through otherwise
@@itscarmine I just ordered an LED flashlight from China based on this series of science studies: In studying the effects of deep red light in humans, researchers built on their previous findings in mice, bumblebees and fruit flies, which all found significant improvements in the function of the retina’s photoreceptors when their eyes were exposed to 670 nanometre (long wavelength) deep red light. The respiratory chain in mitochondria contains many cytochromes, which act as chromophores due to their absorption peaks in the visible and NIR spectral regions. CCO is the terminal enzyme in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria and is also known as complex IV. Many published studies have revealed the role of this complex as an acceptor and transducer of signals activated by light in the red and NIR spectral range [9].
Low-level laser or LED (light emitting diode) therapy using red to infrared light (λ = 600-1070 nm), conflated here to the term “near infrared light” (NIr), is an emerging, putative neuroprotective treatment that is showing promise in several pre-clinical models of disease. For example, NIr has been reported beneficial in animal models of retinal disease (Eells et al., 2004; Natoli et al., 2010, 2013; Albarracin et al., 2013; Begum et al., 2013; Gkotsi et al., 2014), traumatic brain (Ando et al., 2011; Oron et al., 2012; Quirk et al., 2012a; Xuan et al., 2013, 2014, 2015) and optic nerve (Fitzgerald et al., 2010) injury, experimentally-induced stroke (Lapchak et al., 2004; DeTaboada et al., 2006; Oron et al., 2006), familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Moges et al., 2009), multiple sclerosis (Muili et al., 2012), Parkinson's disease (Liang et al., 2008; Whelan et al., 2008; Ying et al., 2008; Shaw et al., 2010; Peoples et al., 2012; Moro et al., 2013, 2014; Purushothuman et al., 2013; Vos et al., 2013; Johnstone et al., 2014a,b; Darlot et al., 2015; El Massri et al., 2015; Reinhart et al., 2015a,b) and Alzheimer's disease (Michalikova et al., 2008; DeTaboada et al., 2011; Grillo et al., 2013; Purushothuman et al., 2014, 2015). In humans, NIr therapy has been reported to improve executive, cognitive, and emotional functions (Barrett and Gonzalez-Lima, 2013; Blanco et al., 2015), together with performance in a range of clinical tests after ischaemic stroke (Lampl et al., 2007; Lapchak, 2010), brain trauma (Naeser et al., 2011, 2014), depression (Schiffer et al., 2009) and in age-related macular degeneration (Merry et al., 2012). The fact that NIr therapy has been reported to be effective in so many different models of disease and in a range of neural systems suggests that it is not a targeted therapy, but instead, acts to mitigate ubiquitous processes relating to cell damage and death. Recent work indicates that NIr is effective in reducing neuronal death induced by apoptosis, but not necrosis (Quirk et al., 2012a). The pathway to apoptosis is likely to involve a critical decline in cellular energy production (Galluzzi et al., 2012), that NIr may help to restore (Hamblin and Demidova, 2006; Liang et al., 2008; Ying et al., 2008; Desmet et al., 2009; Rojas and Gonzalez-Lima, 2011; Chung et al., 2012; Begum et al., 2013; Gkotsi et al., 2014). This mechanism is presumably common to all the above mentioned conditions and is perhaps why NIr therapy has such broad potential applications. In the context of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, although they have distinct initiating causes, both diseases converge on common pathways of inflammation and oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal death, indicating that NIr may be beneficial to both through the same protective mechanisms.
There is one sole account of some neuronal damage and negative behavioral outcomes in mice, but this was evident after an exceptionally high power intensity (750 mW/cm2; Ilic et al., 2006), approximately one hundred times higher than the dose required to elicit a therapeutic response (e.g., < 10 mW/cm2).
The photons are absorbed by mitochondrial chromophores in skin cells. Consequently, electron transport, adenosine triphosphate nitric oxide release, blood flow, reactive oxygen species increase, and diverse signaling pathways are activated. Stem cells can be activated, allowing increased tissue repair and healing. In dermatology, LLLT has beneficial effects on wrinkles, acne scars, hypertrophic scars, and healing of burns.
Time of exposure is critical, as 670 nm light is only effective in the morning. This time dependent effect is likely due to the demonstrated shift in mitochondrial function across the day, and light exposure is likely only effective when synchronised to an aspect of this process.
Near infra-red (670 nm) is thought to be absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase (COX), a key element in mitochondrial respiration and it has been demonstrated that it improves mitochondrial membrane potentials in aged eyes. It also significantly reduces the impact of experimental pathology and ameliorates age related retinal inflammation. We show ATP decline with ageing in mouse retina and brain.
Great conversations.
Thank you for sharing truth about blue light and cell phones! Like to add anti-radiation seals available online to give 95% PROTECTION from radiation in cell phone, which killed our church secretary of hip cancer where she always carried her cell phone in back RT. hip pocket ! Also hollow ear buds avoid wire from cell to brain available, etc. Lucille
Can you recommend a supplier in the Netherlands?
Other than the glasses, what can I use on my phone and tv screens...
Dr Kruse is fabulous usually, and is a most welcome perspective, but herein he is flat out wrong about color temperature increasing from morning 1200 K (red) to 12,000 K (sunset). Sun rise/set are essentially the exact same absorption of UV going through more atmosphere (closer to horizontal). Yes UV increases during day, but peaks noonish.
Explanation is rather simple, Kruse has made an error of interpretation of a graphic scale as if data, instead of a look up of UV temperature.
The scale was inappropriately stretched underneath actual experimental data, so easily misconstrued to generate his false statements.
This misinterpretation is from a flakey table, in an early paper on UV light intensity during the day, which from simple physics says it must decrease going through either morning or evening observation angles.
Thats what I heard him say
It's hard to believe anyone claiming technical prowess could make such a rudimetary error.
@@Captain-Obvious1what a dumbass you are!!
Is changeable Eyes Glass is Good for Health?
4:05
What about prescription contact lenses? Is it bad?
They can also block light
Now that the research has been complete, do medical schools teach it? If not, malpractice.
Kind of a racket ...140 bucks for a pair of glasses??? Makes ya go hmmmmm
The host is annoying!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
