Tldw: as always.. go outside ☀️ @Paul Saladino MD

solar panels are a great decentralized power solution... but there are some caveats.

your brain is one of the most sensitive organs in your body and airpods happen to sit right in your ear canal. I opt for wired or airtube headphones to protect my brain from unnecessary EMFs.

if you're stuck inside all day, I highly recommend using halogen lightbulbs. they're extremely bright and balanced - the two things I look for in my daytime light sources. not to add, they're a great source of infrared light.

does lead paint protect us from EMFs? probably not. here’s why…

best option is to get outside or open your windows. if you can't, opt for low iron glass or acrylic glass.

the best time to build your solar callus for summer is now. In March and throughout Spring. you wont be able to handle peak summer UV unless you train your cells months before to adapt. free energy is available to your body - take advantage and go outside 50% more than you did last Spring.

working outside could and should be this easy. this wooden deck railing just happens to be the perfect height for standing + typing. imagine if we designed outdoor spaces to be compatible with our modern lifestyle requirements? grounded. sun bathing…yet productive. my nervous system can take on so much more capacity working in the digital world when simultaneously immersed in the outdoors. this is the ultimate hack to stay regulated.

LEDs could never have this aesthetic. Lighting should be analog. Pure filament warmth. What our body craves.

Blue light isn’t inherently bad. But the reason most conversations around blue light lead you to believing such is because in isolation or through artificial sources, it is detrimental to our health. Artificial light is presenting light in isolation which is the opposite of what nature intended. Nature was created with intentional balance, and that is any sunlight is over 50% infrared light. Balance out the blue light exposure that you receive constantly through screens and LED lights by going outside and receiving the proper amount of infrared light to regulate your neural pathways and nervous system. ☀️

Your brain and thyroid are some of the most sensitive organs in your body and bluetooth headphones happen to be placed right in your ear creating a direct shot for EMF exposure right to your brain. Living in an overly stimulating and toxic environment already, wearing bluetooth headphones is just another way to add even more stress to your body. This doesn’t mean that Bluetooth is going to give everyone thyroid problems or brain cancer. Distance and duration are the most important factors in determining risk of negative effects from EMF exposure…so being cognizant of that is key. I always opt for wired headphones, and specifically prefer airtube headphones (zero magnetic field or RF exposure) so that I’m getting the overall lowest amount of EMF exposure but can still use headphones. I am currently working on airtube headphones (that actually have good audio quality) to help decrease our overall EMF exposure without a major functionality hit. Still a few months away but comment “BLUETOOTH” to get early access to our first batch when they are available.

Would lead paint protect us from 5G?! Unfortunately not. And even if lead paint did block RF EMFs…if you used your phone inside of a faraday cage you would just augment your own EMF exposure (because the EMF output would boost as your phone struggles to make a connection to the nearest tower). The reality is that lead’s ability to actually eliminate EMF is pretty minimal considering it’s not that good of a conductor in comparison to other metals. Silver and copper are the most conductive metals and the best attenuators of RF EMFs. Faraday paint with silver is available but I would consider the faraday cage effect before you go and paint your entire bedroom. Metals attenuate RF EMFs mostly through reflection and not absorption… So no, I wouldn’t recommend lead paint. But it’s always good to question why something was banned 🥸

It’s completely unnecessary to have your wifi and cellular date on at the same time when a wifi network is available. Your phone is the number 1 source of EMF exposure and a large reason for that is because it is constantly pinging 3-4 different cell bands/towers at a much higher power density compared to a standard Wi-Fi connection. If you are going to be exposed to Wifi, turning off your cellular data is the best way to optimize your EMF environment. Of course, hard wiring your internet is the gold standard - but impractical for many people.

Modern windows can negatively impact our health because they block large portions of the light spectrum specifically near-infrared (NIR) and UVA light, both of which play an important role in cellular energy and overall vitality. Sunlight is our primary source of NIR, and when we spend most of our time indoors behind the now standard “low-E” windows, we’re removing key inout signals that our bodies rely on. You can test your windows at home by feeling how much heat passes through the other side or seeing if there is a mark/text for “low-E coating”. Small environmental design changes can have a major impact on how you feel each day, especially if you don’t have the luxury of being able to spend the majority of the day outside (most people). If the weather is warm enough opening windows fully is the best option for better light + more negatively charged “fresh” air. If you live in an extremely hot and sunny environment (ie Arizona)  having low E windows may still make sense. However overall I think energy efficiency standards has come at the cost of our own cellular energy, and is not the tradeoff I want to make.

Adapting to cold in winter is the key to thriving instead of surviving. Cold signals our mitochondria to uncouple, which will improve your bodies metabolic efficiency in a cold environment by producing more heat, up regulating fat burning, and inducing mitochondrial biogenesis (creation of more mitochondria). This doesn’t mean you need to take an ice bath every morning. Keep your thermostat <65F, go for walks with just a couple layers of clothing, and overall spend as much time as possible outside to give your body the signals it needs to thrive. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is avoidable if you embrace seasonality.

Most people don’t realize that car windows don’t just block UVB, they also filter out nearly all Near-Infrared (NIR) and Ultraviolet-A (UVA) light. When sunlight is distorted and unbalanced, it can be damaging at a cellular level (for example: the truck drivers face over the course of 28 years). Full-spectrum light works synergistically, helping regulate oxidative stress and support mitochondrial function. You don’t want high energy visible (blue) without the balancing red and infrared. Next time you’re on a road trip, try driving with the windows down OR get some in cabin incandescents light to add the infrared back in.   You will feel the difference ☀️💡

EMFs have been on the main stage thanks to an incredible investigation from @sunlightis.life about the magnetic field exposure from an electrical substation next to the San Francisco 49ers facilities potentially being the reason behind their league leading injury rate. As someone who has researched the biological impact of EMFs for years now, here are my key findings and thoughts: • ELF Magnetic Fields have been shown to increase risk of cancer + risk of miscarriage at very low levels (3-4mG) • In 1990 the EPA recommended ELF mag fields be classified as a “probable carcinogen”, but this was reversed at the last minute • The Niners have practiced at this facility since the late 80s, but the substation went through a 2000% capacity increase in 2014 when Levi Stadium was built • Man made electromagnetic fields even at low intensities can interfere (EMI) with normal cellular signaling and lower the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) • Athletic movements are rooted in fascia, which is a collagen-water matrix that has electromagnetic properties such as piezoelectricity and charge transfer • Since 2014 (year injuries started skyrocketing) our electromagnetic environment as a society has drastically changed (more artificial lights, screen time through the roof, RF-EMF exposure, etc.) There is likely no way to prove actual causation of an electrical substation’s magnetic field exposure causing an increase in soft tissue injuries given the current body of evidence, however doing investigative work such as Peter Cowan has done opens the possibility of that being real in the future. It also brings awareness to the overall impact of our electromagnetic environment on our health, which is in my opinion a severely under-discussed topic because it deals in a lot of inconvenient truths. Comment “EMF” and I’ll send you a link to my in depth substack article on this topic which dives way deeper than this video and considers all of the potential reasons Niners players have a higher injury rate.

Modern “energy efficient” low emissivity windows are a large problem for our health because they block out biologically important Near-Infrared (NIR) and Ultraviolet-A (UVA) light. It takes the full spectrum sunlight and distorts it to being very dominant in the visible wavelengths. This is problematic, because low energy near-infrared light balances out the oxidative response in our cells when exposed to high energy visible (blue/violet) light. A large reason you feel so drained being inside all day is because there is little to no infrared light. We need more warmth, not less in our cold modern world.
