ARTIFICIAL LIGHT & DIABETES
How the modern artificial light environment is contributing to the epidemic of metabolic dysfunction.

Host of Regenerative Health Podcast.
Photobiology, carnivore diet & regenerative farming.
I believe sunlight should be the first and most importantly emphasised lifestyle factor in the prevention of heart disease. Sounds wacky? Not when you understand photobiology and the biophysics of heart disease. Recent retweet from @Rusty


We are hosting our 4th Regenerate Decentralised health event in March both Sydney, NSW & Melbourne, VIC
It is based on 3 pillars of optimal health
- applied circadian & quantum biology
- ancestral nutrition (carnivore, locavire)
- regenerative farming
Decentralised health

For those in Australia we have a civil response organisation called the State Emergency Service, abbreviated to ‘SES’
When I counsel patients on what foods should make up the bulk of their diet, I use the same acronym
S - STEAK (or any other red meat)
E - EGGS
S - SEAFOOD
I then add two more critical meta rules:
1. Source as locally as possible. This rule solves for myriad food supply problems from transparency, provenance but most importantly provides coherence in mitochondrial food & environment (light & temperature) input signals
2. Only eat during daylight hours. This ensures food intake is optimised to circadian clocks, and prevents peripheral gut clock desynchronisation of eating late at night. A large breakfast of protein & fat soon after waking & AM sunlight viewing is most optimal to promote leptin sensitivity, lipolysis & optimal circadian health.

In the latest podcast episode I talk with Roudy Nassif on how light controls metabolism
If you’re trying to lose weight or reverse diabetes without paying attention to light you are battling uphill
👉


Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) physiology explains why environmental signals of LIGHT & TEMPERATURE are key to metabolic health and weight loss
Here’s a brief overview🧵



Quantum biological processes are occurring in biology
They govern the key functions of your mitochondria, the energy-producing (transforming) organelles in your cells
Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction is simply a form of mitochondrial inefficiency
To understand metabolic dysfunction, we therefore have to understand the body at a quantum level
This excellent new book by Prof Geoffrey Guy, founder of the Guy Foundation, is a great place to start your learning journey.


I often use a Carnivore diet in my clinical practice for a variety of indications. This is an excellent overview of common questions 👇

Optimal health starts with viewing the sunrise with eyes and skin in the game meaning no sunglasses and minimal clothing.
Why? Light is the most powerful ‘zeitgeiber’ or ‘time giver’ which informs your circadian clocks of time of day.
These clocks run all bodily processes, including metabolism, fat loss, insulin sensitivity, and insulin secretion.
Optimal metabolic health is naturally downstream of optimal circadian health.


Last weekend I hosted Australia’s first retreat dedicated to applied circadian biology in the Byron Bay hinterland, NSW. There were
✅ sunrises
✅ grounding
✅ primal movement
✅ sauna & cold plunge
✅ yoga & mediation
✅ coal-grilled meats & low-carb meals
Plus 6 hours of instruction from yours truly about how to thrive in this modern blue-lit world.
True decentralized health education.

My brief summary of why carnivores (and everyone) should care about circadian rhythms and light environment if they want to live optimally
Very deep discussion. Cutting edge stuff!
