Dr. Alexis Cohen (Jasmine Cohen) and the host discuss a wide-ranging view of health, science, and society, centered on mitochondria, light biology, and decentralized approaches to knowledge and healing. - On science, health, and authority: - Cohen argues that “we really haven’t been doing science for about seventy years now” and that modern science has become scientism, with people looking to scientists and doctors as authority figures over personal health, even though no one can fully know another’s lived body experience. - She emphasizes that aging is a reflection of mitochondrial heteroplasmy and that there are ways to slow or speed that burden, but contemporary living habits harm mitochondrial health. She asserts there are incentives to promote lifestyle advice that is not monetizable (outdoor activity, barefoot grounding, seasonal eating, movement), which she says slows research and access to information. - The conversation asserts a need to reclaim personal authority over health and to recognize life as magical and miraculous. - Personal entry into Bitcoin and crypto curiosity: - Cohen notes she and her partner became interested in Bitcoin in 2018, with a continued engagement including taking a cryptography course to understand the underlying proofs rather than accepting information at face value. - Background and work: - The host introduces Cohen as a Princeton-trained molecular biologist, a PhD focusing on metabolism, gut health, and circadian biology, who shifted from academic research to helping people rebuild health through nutrition, movement, mitochondrial function, and light exposure. Cohen shares that her own childhood illnesses, weight issues, and colitis prompted a pivot from academia to health coaching, emphasizing ownership of wellbeing through science and practical lifestyle strategies. - Cohen highlights that she values rigorous science but seeks practical lifestyle strategies to empower clients to understand their biology and take ownership of their health. - Dance, embodiment, and biology: - Cohen describes taking up social dancing (salsa, bachata, merengue, fox trot, hustle) and training intensely. She explains dancing challenges the brain in novel ways, requires being guided by a partner, and expands neural connections. - The host shares similar experiences with dance, noting body memory across decades and the importance of movement, rhythm, and social connection for health. - Mitochondria, heteroplasmy, and light: - Cohen explains mitochondria as the battery of the cell, with their own circular DNA and multiple roles in ATP production, biosynthesis, and epigenetic regulation. Heteroplasmy, the mutation burden in mitochondrial DNA, reflects dysfunction that can lead to energy production deficits across tissues. - She notes three key mitochondrial outputs: - ATP production powers cellular processes and metabolism. - Metabolic water production (including deuterium-depleted metabolic water). - Biophotons, photons largely in the UV range, emitted by mitochondria and nucleus during electron transport; older, sicker individuals emit more light due to increased permeability of the system. - Cohen argues aging mirrors mitochondrial heteroplasmy and mutation accumulation, with higher mutation burdens in tissues like immune cells, gut, liver, and brain associated with disease. She also discusses that mitochondria contribute to energy, water, and biophotons, and that modern life elevates heteroplasmy by lifestyle choices. - She argues heteroplasmy can be slowed or sped, and that there are actionable interventions—though the exact list is not exhaustively enumerated in this segment. - Why mitochondrial health isn’t the central target: - Cohen says mitochondrial health research is less profitable because it emphasizes lifestyle and environmental changes rather than drugs, which affects funding and research direction. She describes a system where focusing on broad environmental and lifestyle changes could be financially less lucrative than drug-centered approaches. - She expands on historical dynamics in science, including siloing of scientists and the development of a paywalled academic publishing model, suggesting that the system discourages holistic, integrative approaches that would unify mitochondrial biology with systems biology. - Light, circadian biology, and UVA/UVB: - The discussion shifts to light as a regulator of mitochondria. Cohen divides the sun’s spectrum into ultraviolet (UVB and UVA), visible light, blue light, and near infrared (NIR). She emphasizes that near-infrared light penetrates deeply and stimulates mitochondria, while UVB promotes melanin production via POMC and MSH peptides, affecting energy balance, mood, and metabolism. - UVB light triggers alpha-MSH and beta-endorphin production, the latter contributing to mood and dopamine support, and helps regulate energy expenditure and appetite via POMC-derived pathways; UVB exposure supports melanin synthesis, redox balance, and photoreception across tissues. - UVA light activates Neuropsin receptors on eyes and skin, aiding circadian entrainment and nitric oxide production, which improves vasodilation and nutrient delivery. Neuropsin is present in skin and testes; its stimulation is linked to testosterone and fertility enhancements. UVA also helps anchor local circadian rhythms in tissues. - Cohen discusses the misperception that UV light is universally harmful and argues that melanin is not only protective but can facilitate energy capture from high-energy photons to support energy metabolism in humans. Melanin’s roles extend beyond protection to potential energy transduction, with POMC, MSH, and alpha-MSH linking light exposure to metabolic regulation. - The My Circadian app is recommended as a tool to track sunrise, UVA/UVB rise, and lux (brightness) to optimize exposure. Cohen notes indoor environments rarely exceed 1000 lux, while outdoor brightness can reach 60,000–60,200 lux, significantly impacting serotonin production, mood, and cognition. She emphasizes the importance of bright daytime light for circadian alignment and melatonin suppression at night. - Infrared, LEDs, and indoor lighting: - The conversation covers lighting technologies, noting fluorescent tubes and LEDs minimize near-infrared and maximize blue light, which disrupts circadian rhythms and flicker, stressing the eyes and sympathetic nervous system. Cohen argues that modern lighting deprives people of infrared and UV radiation, both critical for mitochondrial function and circadian health. - She criticizes the push for energy efficiency that reduces thermal and infrared energy, arguing it contributes to systemic health issues. She emphasizes the importance of incandescent and near-infrared-rich lighting for indoor environments and sun exposure to sustain metabolic health. - Grounding, EMF, and environmental exposure: - Grounding (direct contact with the earth) is presented as a way to discharge excess positive charge in tissues, reducing inflammatory burden and supporting mitochondrial function. Cohen shares practical grounding instructions—grounding directly to the earth when possible, wearing natural fibers, and using grounding footwear. - Non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G, and other sources are discussed as contributors to mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. Cohen cites Robert Becker’s historical work on non-thermal EMF effects and Havana syndrome as context for potential biological risks. She suggests practical mitigation, including reducing EMF exposure, using Ethernet where possible, and using tinfoil to shield exposure in certain situations. Plant life can absorb EMF, and grounding, sunlight, and strategic use of red and infrared light are recommended to compensate where exposure is high. - The discussion includes practical home strategies, EMF-blocking window panels, EMF-blocking paint, and even temporary shielding (e.g., tinfoil) as a do-it-yourself mitigation approach. - Travel, circadian disruption, and protocols: - Cohen outlines travel challenges: high altitude cosmic radiation exposure (non-AVMF exposure), cabin EMFs, circadian misalignment, and sedentary behavior. She suggests pre- and post-travel strategies such as grounding, sun exposure, hydration, lymphatic support, and blue-light management to ease time-zone transitions. - She promotes an ebook protocol focused on lymphatic support and circadian realignment, available for purchase, with a holiday discount code holydays. Blue-light blocking strategies and red-light strategies are included to facilitate adaptation to new time zones. - Health, mental health, and pediatric considerations: - The hosts discuss mental health concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression, emphasizing circadian regulation, light exposure, sleep hygiene, and reducing screen exposure. Cohen notes the importance of bright daytime light and a dark, cool sleeping environment for sleep quality and mood. She mentions a study showing even small nighttime light exposure can influence daytime metabolic markers, emphasizing the importance of darkness at night. - Birth, medications, and vaccines: - They touch on birth experiences, epidurals, and how early life interventions can influence long-term health and microbiome development. Cohen discusses pain as a portal to healing and critiques reliance on certain pharmaceutical approaches. - On vaccines, Cohen describes observed adverse effects post COVID-19 vaccination, including histamine issues, barrier permeability, and rapid cancer reports linked to vaccine exposure, while underscoring the lack of widespread funding to investigate these relationships. She mentions turbo cancers and batch variation as topics already discussed by researchers like Kevin McKernan and a need for independent inquiry. - Decentralization, science, and Bitcoin again: - Cohen envisions a decentralized health system in which multiple modalities (acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, allopathic medicine) can be tested for proof of work, with outcomes guiding what works best for individuals. She believes decentralization is necessary for genuine innovation, with a future vision of a decentralized, funded light research lab and a retreat model to study circadian biology, mitochondrial function, and nature-based health in diverse environments (North America and equatorial regions). - She sees Bitcoin as a tool that enables financial sovereignty and autonomy, providing an opportunity to fund decentralized science and publish findings on blockchain to protect against censorship. She highlights the potential for Bitcoin to support a lab through deflationary funding and to empower researchers and patients alike. - Closing: - The conversation closes with practical resources: Thinkific-hosted classes, an online book club, and a QuantumU course that reframes science education around decentralized, nature-based principles. Cohen emphasizes accessible contact options (Instagram and email) and a holiday discount for courses and ebooks. The participants express enthusiasm for ongoing collaboration, travel and events, and continued education in Bitcoin, science, and holistic health. Overall, the episode centers on mitochondria as a foundational health driver, the essential role of light and circadian biology in energy, mood, metabolism, and aging, and a call for decentralized, nature-aligned science, with Bitcoin framed as a funding and governance tool to empower individuals and researchers to pursue health innovation beyond centralized institutions.

Number one, early morning sunlight contains a very specific wavelength that stimulates a specific area in your brain that basically reboots your circadian rhythm and resets your day night cycle. Number two, morning sunlight stimulates cortisol release and it stimulates it at the right time. Cortisol is the wake up hormone. Number three, when you get low angle sunlight into your eyes, the retina stimulates your brain to release serotonin and dopamine, which are the feel good neurotransmitters. This improves your overall mood, your level of alertness, as well as your overall cognitive function. So by simply getting up early and watching the sunrise, you can support your body's natural rhythms, improve your mood, and enhance your overall cognitive function.

Most people, including children, spend too much time indoors. Sunlight is essential for converting cholesterol in your skin into vitamin D, which is vital for health. When you eat fruits and vegetables, your stomach extracts nutrients, and vitamin K2 guides vitamin D3 to your bones and teeth. Instead of relying on vitamin D supplements, get outside in the sun, especially during winter. Nature provides everything we need; it's all found in the seeds of fruits and trees. Herbs can serve as medicine, and the sun is a vital resource for our well-being. Embrace the outdoors and the natural world around you.

Early morning sunlight is important because the natural blue light is received by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the brain. The suprachiasmatic nucleus is the primary circadian pacemaker, signaling to the body that it's daytime and time to be awake. To receive the benefits, get at least fifteen to thirty minutes of sunlight exposure in the morning, such as during a walk or commute, without staring directly at the sun. This morning exposure can improve sleep at night.

UV light lowers blood pressure. UV light increases the efficiency of the heart. UV light improves EKG. UV light balances cholesterol. UV light assists in weight loss. UV light is a treatment for skin conditions. UV light is also an effective treatment for many disorders. Going back to light therapy of 1933 in Germany where they used to heal people with light, then you go UV light increases the level of hormones. People suffering from low testosterone or altered estrogen sitting in the sun. Then we go UV light activates important skin skin hormones such as vitamin d, natural sources. Now why do they tell people to stay out of the sun? Because all these industries exist to keep making money on the people. And if you tell people that UV is toxic and you better stay out of that sun, well, then these industries continue to keep just going about. And that's what we see because these industries have been going on for a long time. Hundred about a hundred years of being told lies. And all we're doing, debunking it one step at a time.

Imagine going into a clock store with every clock is an alarm clock and they're on different schedules. It boosts a number of chemicals that need to be released early in the day. That morning sunlight coordinates all the cellular and organ systems of your body. And it sets a timer on some other clocks in the body, including the one that releases melatonin about sixteen hours later to make you sleepy and fall asleep easily. If you don't do it for two days or three days in a row, what happens is that morning increase in cortisol still happens, but it starts getting pushed out towards the afternoon. And that is strongly associated with depressive symptoms, anxiety, and sleeplessness at night, which then just makes it harder to function during the next day.

Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of cancer, and taking vitamin D can prevent cancer. It is also effective for treating depression and important for the immune system. Big pharma dislikes vitamin D because it reduces the risk of many diseases. Studies on vitamin D are often designed to fail using low doses. Higher doses are recommended for those with chronic inflammation or autoimmune diseases. The sun is beneficial and avoiding it increases the risk of dying. Sunshine also prevents cancer, including melanoma. Spending about 30 minutes in the sun without sunscreen is recommended, as sunscreen may increase the risk of melanoma.

Sunlight deficiency is claimed to be the biggest cause of disease, with studies suggesting avoiding the sun is as risky as smoking. Insufficient sun exposure is allegedly responsible for almost 400,000 deaths per year and an increased incidence of almost every disease. Vitamin D is described as critical for dopamine synthesis, mood, weight loss, immune function, and glucose metabolism. Vitamin D supplementation is associated with a claimed 40% lower rate of dementia, and 4,000 IU of vitamin D reportedly boosted testosterone 40% in one study. Beyond vitamin D, the sun purportedly shrinks fat cells and improves the gut microbiome. Red and near-infrared light from the sun is said to structure water in mitochondria, boosting energy production and setting the circadian rhythm.

Using Light (Sunlight, Blue Light & Red Light) to Optimize Health | Huberman Lab Podcast #68
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast. I'm Andrew Huberman, a professor at Stanford, and today we will explore the powerful uses of light to optimize health, including skin health, hormone balance, sleep regulation, and even dementia offsetting. Light can be translated into electrical and hormonal signals in our bodies, impacting gene expression throughout our lifespan. I will provide specific protocols based on peer-reviewed literature to help you use different wavelengths of light for health benefits. Historically, the use of light in therapy is well-established, with the Nobel Prize awarded in 1903 for phototherapy in lupus treatment. Recent research from Dr. Glenn Jeffrey at University College London highlights red light therapy's potential to counter age-related vision loss. Brief exposures to red light early in the day can significantly improve vision in individuals over 40, as it enhances ATP production in metabolically active retinal cells. I will also announce two live events in May, focusing on mental and physical health tools. The podcast aims to provide zero-cost scientific information to the public, supported by sponsors like Athletic Greens, which offers foundational nutrients and probiotics, and Thesis, which creates custom nootropics for cognitive enhancement. Now, let's discuss the physics and biology of light. Light is electromagnetic energy with various wavelengths, impacting our biology at different levels. Longer wavelengths, like red and near-infrared light, penetrate tissues more effectively than shorter wavelengths like blue or ultraviolet light. This penetration allows light to influence cellular functions, including those in mitochondria, which produce ATP. Light can modulate biological signals through absorption by specific pigments in our cells. For example, photoreceptors in our eyes absorb light, enabling vision, while melanocytes in our skin respond to UV light, affecting pigmentation. Light exposure can have both direct effects on cells and indirect effects through signaling pathways. Melatonin, a hormone regulated by light exposure, plays a crucial role in sleep and seasonal biological rhythms. Light inhibits melatonin production, which varies with seasonal changes in daylight. For optimal health, it is essential to get appropriate sunlight exposure, particularly in the morning, to regulate melatonin and support overall well-being. During winter months, individuals may experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Bright light exposure can help mitigate this condition. It's advisable to limit bright light exposure at night to maintain healthy melatonin levels. Using dim red or amber light at night can help avoid melatonin suppression. Research shows that UVB light exposure can enhance mood, increase testosterone and estrogen levels, and improve immune function. Regular UVB exposure can also accelerate wound healing and promote hair growth. The skin acts as an endocrine organ, responding to light and influencing hormonal pathways. Low-level light therapy (LLLT) using red and near-infrared light has shown promise in treating skin conditions like acne and promoting healing. These therapies work by enhancing mitochondrial function and reducing reactive oxygen species in cells. Recent studies indicate that red light therapy can improve visual function in older adults by enhancing ATP production in retinal cells and reducing age-related degeneration. The Jeffrey lab's research demonstrates that just a few minutes of red light exposure can lead to significant improvements in visual acuity. Additionally, Li-Huei Tsai's work at MIT shows that flickering light at specific frequencies can induce gamma oscillations in the brain, promoting neuroprotection and reducing Alzheimer's-related markers. This non-invasive approach could lead to new therapies for cognitive decline. In summary, light has profound effects on our biology, influencing hormones, mood, immune function, and cellular health. By understanding and applying these principles, we can harness the power of light to enhance our well-being. Thank you for joining me today, and I look forward to sharing more insights in future episodes.
