Fascinating conversation. Never knew the impact of sunlight and the Circadian rhythm on our lives. We’ve really veered so far away from the way of life God has designed for us.
And this is one of the reasons why there is so much sickness and disease in the modern world.
Thanks to good ole Rockefeller for pushing the pharmaceutical/medical industry
As one of Jack's former members, I have been a stickler about my light environment for 10 years now and it has all paid off!
Wow! Years ago I remember people taking photographs of people with a special camera to capture their aura. Seemed "woo-woo" at the time but they said the aura is the energy your own body makes that the naked eye cannot see.
Some healthy people would generate a very vivid aura and some people who were not as healthy made a weaker, more dim aura. 😮
So now this all makes sense!
Alexis Cowan is absolutely brilliant! So pleased with how she represented Princeton and I hope she can get a sunlight lab started there :). I’m in awe…
That made my day! I’m gonna be pitching later this year to some PIs, we will see 🤞🏽
One of the most brilliant human beings we have in our human family. So thankful that we have her.
Great podcast! Fascinating regarding wearing sunglasses suppresses melanin and promotes sunburn!
Dr.Cowan has all the answers to the foundation of health. It starts with our “light diet.” Thank you for getting this message out ❤
The most intriguing and informative interview I’ve listened to in ages
Great you are bringing physics to the table as a key aspect of understanding health & biology
I’ll be using all the information here to switch from being a nighttime person to a morning person. Truly excited to wake up and feel that morning sun with the earth charging my blood cells in the morning and again at sundown. Haplo groups would explain why I tend to lose so much energy during the winter months, up here in Seattle. I’ve always known I belonged someplace sunny year round, this motivates me to take moving seriously. Thank you Dr. Lyon & Dr. Cowen, you two have taught me so much. Thank you .
So excited to see Dr. Cowan back on your podcast.
Great interview I could listen to you both all day long.
I'm curious to hear Dr. Cowan's advice for getting more sun but avoiding more facial wrinkles.
Wear a visor/hat…….
Personally I think it is more about what you put in your body. Like smoking one needs to avoid alcohol, and processed foods. I’m a 62 year old fair skinned female, and have recently had two separate people amazed at my age. They both said, “You have no wrinkles.” I do not avoid the sun, in fact I purpose to get sunlight on my skin and “photons in my eyeballs” as I call it. I do use lanolin and tallow for protection and moisturizer on my skin. They both are similar to the sebum we lose after we age. If I am exposed for long periods of time especially near water, I will use a zinc oxide based sunscreen. I also believe eating more foods with complete amino acid profile will also help one’s skin. I supplement with collagen, glycine, and MSM for my joints, but they are also helping my skin. I don’t use any fancy products on my face and either.
Don't burn, get reasonable sunlight.
Get 1st light, if you are outside a lot wear a hat but expose the rest of your skin. You need regular exposure to obtain solar callous
Tallow and lanolin. Thanks for the advice. I'll buy some.
I saw her interview Uncle Jack. Wow he had a big influence on her. She is brilliant to recognize genius and apply it to her life.
He inspires me every day! Happy to leverage my credentials to support this incredibly important cause.
AND the science is rock solid which is just the best. I can’t wait to further support the field when I start my lab.
@@dralexisjazmyn I was addicted to EarPods for years and was diagnosed with menieres disease. Once I heard him talk about sheets of melanin in our cochlea and RF radiation going through our brains it took them out and 5 months later no more vertigo and hearing is restored. I’m in Orlando so 28 latitude so good light. Never miss another sunrise! Sleeping is restored also! Thank you for what you are doing in spreading truth. Telling people this is harder for them to understand and apply than changing what they eat everyday. Go on a TECH DIET!
@@dralexisjazmynwhere r u located
Light therapy has been around forever. Nevertheless nice to see young dr Alexis enthusiasm in rediscovering and raising interest in its foundation. ❤
Good German research and application of red light and near infra red light.
I grew up in the '70s in fort Lauderdale. We never wore shoes. We never wore shirts. Ran around in shorts. Never got sunburned was always tan. We didn't need a lot of vegetables
This was chockes full of great information. I had to listen twice.
This was a damn good episode, I came from the podcast to write this… all episodes are damn good, but I’m so glad I caught this one, and I’ll be listening or watching it one more time… I need that app!
Amazing conversation! Thank you to both of you.
Beyond fascinating. I could have listened forever hours
Amazing thank you both
Amazing information thank you!🙌🙌
I learned from an old timer as a kid over 50 years ago., get full sun early in spring and build a “base tan” and you/I will never need sun tan lotion and will never burn, he was right, I never burn and stay in the sun all day long.
I also learned that cigarette smokers are the ones that get wrinkles and a poor diet and alcohol mixed with sun also creates a bad side effect of the sun rays.
Excellent!
This was fascinating. I’ll be watching again and taking notes. It would be great if Alexis wasn’t constantly interrupted.
Amazing interview! I love the focus on mechanisms and the relationship between healthy biology and our environment.
excellent show Dr Lyon! As always I learnt lots!!
Interesting; so much I learned here. the Pomc/alpha/beta paths (or however they are spelled) would be good adaptions for northern latitudes when food is scarce and the sun is scarce.. so it is natural to reduce energy use for a Quasi-hibernation state.
Love this!
Wonderful episode. Very impressive. Love ❤️
As far as red light therapy is concerned, there are so many products out there now. Is there a level or quality of red light that is recommended for general health and for specific healing of things like injuries and eczema?
Rising with the sun. . . .it's actually light before the sun comes up. Should I be outside BEFORE the sun comes up, or just as it comes up? And how about a Himalayan salt lamp for the ambient light at night?
I’ve heard there are benefits of being out at first light but actual sunrise is when you’re getting the important red light to kick start your hormones.
Himalayan salt lamp could be ok. I personally use red light bulbs. Bon charge makes great ones.
Now if we can just stop the geo-engineering and blocking of the sun, which seems to happen most during sunrises and sunsets, we will be golden.
Yes I have noticed the clouds blocking sunrise almost every morning.
I’m there with you. I just joined a group here in NJ trying to pass legislation to stop it.
Hey guys. What is all this about? Can you please tell me where to get more info?
Dr Gabriel , great interview, I love this topic.
btw your skin is looking especially youthful! What’s the secret?
Can you provide links to many of the items recommended in this podcast?
So what should we do in the winter, I'm confused.
What are supposed to do if we need our contacts/glasses to see while we are outside...?
Help me understand "you can get uva lightbulbs". On Amazon, all I'm seeing are uva+uvb reptile lamps. Is that what someone should get just, like, for their living room, or....?
The body works with DC current using earth ground. AC current uses earth ground too.
I’m sold on the importance of natural light, but how can we get that without photoaging? Even though I have avoided sun exposure for most of my 51 years, I still have hyperpigmentation on my face, chest, and arms that I find distressing. People I know with more sun exposure than me look years older than they are. How can we manage sun exposure to look and feel good both?
Maybe just wear sunscreen on your face but expose the rest of your body to the sun regularly without sunscreen. That way you get benefits without causing too much uv damage to your facial skin.
@@Alex-tu1zythat’s what I do.
I have melasma and I live in Texas. I miss the sun on my face!!
Great interview. However the other day, on Tik Tok a woman got sun poisoning from being in the sun the entire day and had darker skin. Could it be some of the skin care products that are causing some of the light sensitivity?.
Great video but what if someone is missing with the food I no it’s going on in world part two please and the right sun is great for everyone body people are more happier when it comes out+ there’s more going on thanks for your work
I wear sun glasses in strong sun regardless !
How much time in the sun is recommended every day? I missed the answer to that question.
Use vitamin D as a biomarker for midday sun requirements. Shoot for 60-80 ng/mL
What do you do if you wear glasses?
What kind of red light therapy company’s are good ?
What is this palm c she's talking about, produced by UVB?
Some teenagers like to stay up all night and sleep all day, especially in the summertime when there's no school. What effects does this have on them?
It’s natural for their age but it’s highly detrimental especially because today they’re often glued to screens all night long!
I had trouble reading my school assignments. Why? Because my folks didn’t enforce any bedtime . So no structure , now parental standards . Watching TV at midnight when I was 11 is not going to provide my brain with what is needed for my brain to develope comprehension to
Who is Jack??
Blood sugar de-regulation , is the result of incorrect "timing" of nutrients or lack thereof. Foods all have different "Charges", these frequencies which are in essence information packets of electromagnetic radiation. Morning sunlight exposure while grounded synchronizes both the light and the electrics to signal ALL metabolic process. This goes much deeper but light from the Sun is only part of the recipe,not all of it. Planetary influences all biology. You cannot study sunlight or Lunar influences in a lab. You can note the effects of some reactions but the "Time" when you observe any test is of the UTMOST importance. Alexis seems to be surpassing Kruse in her ability to create a wide spectrum perspective on this topic and i suspect she will be one of the most balanced messengers of light. The main reason you don't see many studies i because you cannot package up and sell mother nature. Forget light panels, The problem of a modern lifestyle is that everyone os asking how to mitigate the damage. It's like fitting a square peg in a round hole. Pain and suffering are the "evidence" your lifestyle is not working for you. Tht is the cause, the rest will always be at best a band aid. You either pick up more energy that you use or you are aging..period.
It is claimed that ap. 83% of whey protein is converted by the body to carbs. Thats expensive stuff to be making into carbs. Is this true and what do experts such as De. Layman say.
I am really shocked that its 2024 we are talking about building a base tan, that this is medical advice, propaganda against sunscreen, like truly horrifying, like there's not enough people scared to ise sunscreen ...
A lot of shaky scientific claims here that go unchallenged/unquestioned. I'm not sure if Dr. Lyon believes the insinuation that sunlight & red light can function as extra calories, and I feel I shouldn't have to wonder!
It was a metaphor. The light sends messages to cell organelles; it does not create heat or substitute for food. That is an overly literal reading of what she said.
The ADP-ATP cycle and stimulation of stem cells are examples of effects of photobiomodulation. Mitochondria evolved to provide a substitute in animals for photosynthesis used by plants. Calories are a measure of heat produced by burning.
If you get no sunlight, you will eventually die or be very sick.
The effect of light on mitochondria has been known to science for a long time.
Medical uses of various types of light are known as photobiomodulation. There is no theory about many medical uses.
Copy and paste jack’s matetial. I m surprised Jack and the guest here doesn’t look fit and health particularly. Are we missing some some
Pieces here other than UVA and B ?
Vous faites ch@#* avec vos longues pubs! Zut !
Love this video, but Dr. Gab …you have really become a product pusher!! 😢
To much comers brakes....
Dr. Lyon is very intelligent but why does she over-makeup so unnaturally... At her young age she does not need this old vampire woman look...
How is this relevant? Negative comments have no place. Please be kind. Focus on the amazing information/science being discussed.
Who cares? She’s brilliant. Let her enjoy her life
