The Problems with Modern LED Lighting with Matt Maruca

Have you ever wondered how to properly detoxify your body? Do you start with killing off parasites or do you megadose a ton of green powders?  Kyle Peche healed himself of major brain fog, food intolerances, skin rashes, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and panic attacks by learning the correct order to detox. In this episode we talk about how he uses hair tissue mineral analysis testing to assess someone’s physical and psychological state, how to go about parasite cleansing, why glyphosate is an issue and what to do about it, why he thinks bile function is underrated, the difference between dumb and selective binders, practical ways to reduce exposure to electromagnetic radiation, how to detoxify microplastics, how to approach depersonalization, and lots more.

Dr Katie Woodley, integrative holistic veterinarian, joins us to talk about optimal cat health. She exposes the dirty secret of the prescription food industry and why a species appropriate raw food diet is the way to go. She shares tips on how to prevent urinary tract infections, why freeze dried raw food is better than kibble, how to transition your pet off of kibble, why there should be scheduled feeding times, why she likes adding digestive enzymes to cat food, her thoughts on frequency of physical exams and bloodwork, and even the benefits of brushing your cats teeth.

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.  Dr Alexander's lectures: https://vimeo.com/AlexanderWunsch My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by Nicholas Jimenez: https://open.spotify.com/track/5uLO7Q8r8wwLRAtChMYKNs?si=X4rUrsHdQJqzSYYh7bURmw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A10s9uTJOw0BQiQnk1Rz09e https://music.apple.com/us/album/crystal-water-etude/1778142441?i=1778142442

What happens to our health if the body thinks that its daytime when its nighttime and nighttime when its daytime? Sarah Kleiner shares her experience healing herself of Hashimotos, IBS, skin issues, and birth complications. She talks about out how to optimize leptin and how the benefits of sunlight exposure are more about melatonin and less about vitamin D. She also talks about sunscreen, how long to expose our eyes to the sun in the morning, when the best time of year to use sauna therapy and drink deuterium depleted water, the deliterious effects of sunglasses, which kind of light therapy won't disregulate your circadian rhythm at night, why she uses ultraviolet bug zappers throughout her house, her thoughts on earthing products, and more. Her MyCircadian app that she created is a great tool to use to measure lux (light intensity), see the times of day that ultraviolet A light is present, and when you input your height, weight and Fitzpatrick skin type you can measure your vitamin D production.

Matt Maruca, founder of Ra Optics and the Light Diet joins me to talk about the healing power of sunlight and the dangers of artificial light.  He shares practical tips that one can integrate when traveling across time zones. He talks about why he likes to eat his biggest meal in the middle of the day, the specific problem with LED lighting, why the smart phone slow motion feature is not accurate to prove flicker rate of healthy bulbs, what the color rendering index means, why we want our indoor lighting to be at eye level or lower at night, his thoughts on Starlink and X, ultraviolet light therapy, and more.  Order Ra Optics glasses: www.raoptics.com/blackburn My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by Nicholas Jimenez:  https://open.spotify.com/track/5uLO7Q8r8wwLRAtChMYKNs?si=X4rUrsHdQJqzSYYh7bURmw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A10s9uTJOw0BQiQnk1Rz09e https://music.apple.com/us/album/crystal-water-etude/1778142441?i=1778142442  

When we think of artificial ultraviolet light we often think of tanning beds. Most are unaware that tanning beds only contain one part of the ultraviolet spectrum, causing cellular harm. The best way to dose ultraviolet light from artificial sources is to mix in some visible red and near infrared light; that is how the sun does it. Kris Sweeting, creator of EMR Tek, was raised with tanning beds in his bedroom since he was five years old. Diagnosed with vitiligo at 3, he committed his teenage years to solving that issue and succeeded using light therapy. In this interview he talks about the human photoprotective response, why a sunburn is not actually a burn, what melanogenesis means, how seed oils gave him an age spot, why his UV lights use Philips bulbs, the difference between UVA, UVB and UVC wavelengths, what narrowband ultraviolet light means, the benefits of UV beyond vitamin D, his thoughts on vitamin D supplements, and much more.

When is the last time you've looked at the tag on your underwear, pants, shorts, shirts, or jackets? There are literally thousands of things that we can upgrade in our lives to reduce our risk of acquiring a disease and half of the battle is not getting stressed about it and just making small incremental changes month after month. Dan Baird created NADS underwear, an alternative to polyester and synthetic material laden products that doesn't put microplastics, forever chemicals, pesticides, formaldehyde, and other compounds straight into the reproductive organs. Over time they become a major contributing factor to erectile dysfunction, infertility and decreased testosterone. He shares his journey of raising his testosterone and how changing out his clothing played a pivotal role. He talks about the dangers of nylon and elastane, the two certifications that he has for his organic cotton underwear, how the chemicals in low quality clothing are reactivated in the skin when you sweat in a sauna, and more.

Every once in awhile i'll see a surge of "return to nature" arguments with regards to drinking water. In a recent podcast I heard the guest going as far as to defend tap water, conflating reverse osmosis with distilled water, making the argument that our ancestors didn't filter their water, saying that reverse osmosis causes greying of hair, arsenic is an essential mineral, and other wild claims. Austin Sneller, water filtration expert and creator of Flow Motion Water Systems returns to the show to deconstruct these myths that don't have any basis in reality or facts to back them up. Whether you're a beginner in the water filtration arena or a veteran, there is something everyone can learn in this episode.

When I started studying human health back in 2010 I immediately started not only reading about but taking action on information that I learned about light, water and magnetism. I was grounding myself rod to earth while I slept within the first year of my research. Fast forward to 2024 and i've seen many difference companies pop up from silver embedded clothing that acts as a "floating ground" to energetic pendants you wear around your neck that cost several thousand dollars that claim to structure the water in your body and harmonize electromagnetic radiation around you. In this episode I share my fourteen year journey of what I've found works and doesn't work in the realm of nutritional supplements and technologies. I share my top five supplements that have been clinically proven to protect your cells from EMF and why I think those are the foundation before integrating any health technology into your lifestyle.
