0:01 This information that you are providing
0:04 is so so important because it's
0:06 addressing basically metabolism at the
0:09 foundational level and how the body's
0:11 actually operating and regenerating and
0:14 healing and detoxifying itself. I don't
0:16 think people actually realize that all
0:18 anti-cancer properties, all regeneration
0:21 properties are under circadian control.
0:23 And I've had many incredible guests on
0:25 the podcast who have talked about this,
0:27 but many people who are unaware about
0:29 circadian rhythms and who are hooked on
0:31 blue light devices and they are just the
0:34 modern human and they live life as it's
0:36 given to them now in this modern world.
0:39 Unfortunately, disease manifestation is
0:42 inevitable in my opinion, right?
0:44 It is if you don't understand truly what
0:46 photo repair is. The biophysics of photo
0:49 repair is complex. Circadian biology is
0:51 a big part of that, but you have to
0:53 understand the two key frequencies of
0:56 light that control it
0:59 are 380 nanometer UVA light and near
1:01 infrared light for the reasons that I
1:04 mentioned to you already in the podcast.
1:07 Uh because this optimizes uh
1:08 uh
1:11 the mitochondrial biogenesis. Um that's
1:13 the bare minimum. Let me be very clear
1:14 about that because I always show the
1:16 photo repair slide like on Twitter,
1:19 LinkedIn, Facebook, and also my Patreon
1:21 blogs, but I don't think people really
1:23 understand that slide really well. It
1:25 doesn't mean that there's no use for the
1:26 other parts of the UV spectrum for the
1:29 reasons I mentioned to you earlier
1:32 I will the big thing that is uh an
1:35 issue. I was just in a spaces yesterday
1:37 with uh Martin Picard and his wife
1:39 Nirosha Nirogan who's she's a
1:41 biophysicist, he's a biochemist.
1:44 His big problem is the same problem Nick
1:46 Lane has, the same problem that Michael
1:48 Levin has.
1:51 They start their PhD inside the
1:52 mitochondria and they think the
1:54 mitochondria is the be all end all. I
1:55 made the point to him yesterday in the
1:58 spaces what I made to you earlier. I
2:00 said, let's do a a step back. If
2:03 everything in the matrix was a problem
2:06 and you think lactate and pyruvate
2:08 are the key to this bioelectric problem,
2:10 why is it that the retina and Sertoli
2:13 cells use Warburg metabolism? So right
2:15 away, what did I just do? I got rid of
2:17 guys like Siegfried who are wrong. I get
2:20 rid of guys like Lustig who are wrong.
2:21 That's just the simple low-hanging
2:24 fruit. But then I said to Martin what I
2:25 said to you earlier.
2:27 I gave him four pathways that start
2:29 outside in.
2:30 I said, these pathways control the inside.
2:32 inside.
2:34 And I said, you know I gave a talk in
2:36 2018 in Vermont
2:39 that said, in time it will be shown that
2:40 what happens at the surface is more
2:41 important than the biochemistry below.
2:44 In this podcast, I've laid that out for
2:46 you in detail. Everything I've told you today
2:48 today
2:49 is not new to me. I've been saying this
2:51 for 20 years. You know what the problem
2:55 is? The problem is people need to
2:58 understand how my work connects all
3:01 these different angles. How biochemistry
3:02 and biophysics control it. What I'm
3:05 saying effectively to you and to all my
3:08 critics is biochemistry's downstream
3:12 of biophysics. Biophysics is by far the
3:14 most important part.
3:16 Yes. It doesn't mean biochemistry's not
3:17 important. It doesn't mean that food's
3:20 not important. It's just not
3:22 proximal to the story that I'm laying
3:25 out here. So if you focus in on the
3:27 downstream, how are you ever going to
3:29 fix the original problem? Imagine a
3:31 tablet that doesn't blast artificial
3:32 blue light into your eyes, disrupt your
3:34 sleep, or sabotage your health, but
3:36 actually uses sunlight to power the
3:38 display. If you've been listening to
3:39 this podcast, you already know how
3:41 damaging constant artificial blue light
3:43 can be on your circadian rhythm, your
3:45 sleep, and your overall health. That's
3:47 why I love my Paper Seven tablet by
3:49 Harber E-Ink. It's definitely one of the
3:50 most interesting devices I've used in a
3:52 while. The Paper Seven tablet uses
3:55 something called an RLCD display, which
3:56 means there is no backlight and
3:59 essentially no blue light. Instead, it
4:01 reflects ambient light just like paper.
4:03 So the brighter your environment, the
4:05 better the screen looks. And unlike
4:07 e-ink devices which are slow and stuck
4:09 in black and white, this gives you full
4:12 color, a smooth 60 Hz refresh rate, and
4:14 the ability to run all of your favorite
4:17 apps. It also comes with 8 GB of RAM for
4:20 smooth performance, a 7.8 inch display
4:22 that's perfect for both reading and
4:25 productivity. And at only 240 g, it's
4:27 easy to carry around anywhere. The
4:29 battery life holds up really well, too.
4:31 You're getting around 10 hours of active
4:34 use and up to 12 days on standby. So
4:35 you're not constantly thinking about
4:38 charging it. For me personally, I like
4:39 to use it a lot for writing,
4:41 researching, and preparing for my
4:42 podcasts. Basically, all of my
4:44 administrative work. And the best part
4:47 is I can do all of that outdoors in
4:49 natural light. So I can actually support
4:51 my biology while I work instead of
4:53 fighting against it. And because the
4:54 screen gets brighter in brighter
4:56 environments, it's incredibly easy on
4:59 the eyes even in direct sunlight. I've
5:01 also noticed that it naturally improves
5:03 my night time habits because indoors,
5:05 especially at night, the screen isn't
5:07 overly bright or stimulating since it
5:10 uses your environment to power the
5:11 display. So it kind of guides you
5:13 towards better sleep hygiene and
5:15 healthier circadian rhythms without even
5:16 trying. At the end of the day,
5:18 technology isn't going anywhere. So the
5:20 goal is to find tools that work with our
5:23 biology, not against it. And this is
5:25 definitely one of those devices. You
5:26 definitely want to hurry up and grab
5:28 yours today as they are extremely
5:30 popular and run out of stock really
5:31 fast. The link will be in the
5:34 description below alongside with a 15%
5:37 discount code. That's the point.
5:40 And when you understand
5:42 that I guess 100,000 foot view, you go,
5:44 okay, well maybe he's not that crazy.
5:47 Maybe he's seen something before and
5:49 he's pointing out to us. Mhm. It's true
5:51 what he's saying. You don't make nitric
5:53 oxide to inhibit
5:54 you know, the four cytochrome unless you
5:57 have UV light. That's how it happens.
6:00 Nobel Prize was given for in 1998.
6:02 You don't make Everybody knows you don't
6:04 make vitamin D without UV light. That's
6:07 different than 380 light. It's the light
6:09 that's about 312 to 320. So I don't want
6:12 you to think there's no need for that.
6:13 And then I you know, the other thing I
6:15 told you, you don't make melanin from
6:18 palm C without UV light. UV light is the
6:21 stimulus that causes the translation
6:22 of melanin.
6:24 And then when you think about leptin and
6:26 you put that slide up that I always put out
6:27 out
6:31 that it acts at 220. [ __ ] that's even
6:33 below sunlight. Where's that light
6:35 coming from? Could it be that we make
6:37 that light
6:40 from the photoactive chemicals that come
6:42 from this downstream effect, which is ROS.
6:43 ROS.
6:45 Well, guess what? I'm no longer the one
6:47 only saying it.
6:50 Pop and Van Wick have proven it. Like
6:52 this is not like [ __ ] conspiracy,
6:55 dude. This is hardcore science that's in
6:57 journals and it's been sitting there in
6:59 front of us. But you know what the
7:01 problem is? Nobody wants to sit down and
7:04 do the hard thing of thinking. Why
7:06 did evolution or God build us this way?
7:08 And then when you think, damn, leptin's
7:11 right below our skin. This is crazy.
7:14 Another outside-in story. You start to
7:15 go and you go, wait a minute, but
7:18 leptin's 220. We don't ever get 220. How
7:20 does this work? And I'm going to tell
7:23 you, when you sit down
7:25 and see it all for yourself, you go,
7:27 this is amazing.
7:29 When you realize
7:31 how it all works
7:33 is so that I don't have to teach
7:36 rhinoceros, a horse, or a dog how to
7:37 live its life. This is the reason why
7:39 God and evolution built us this way.
7:41 Just go outside, live in the environment
7:43 you live, whatever grows there you eat,
7:45 you'll be fine. You don't have to work
7:47 it worry about it because
7:49 everything in metabolism is quantized to
7:52 leptin and and melanin. That's it. And
7:53 you know, if I tell you that story in
7:54 the beginning and you're a food guru,
7:56 you think I'm [ __ ] crazy. But when
7:58 you actually examine what I'm saying,
8:00 you go, wow. Because this is the reason
8:03 why my blogs are so detailed. Why? I
8:05 want all the [ __ ] bastards out there
8:07 that tell me I'm wrong, come [ __ ]
8:08 prove it to me.
8:09 Because I got news for you. I've been
8:13 working on this for 25 years. And
8:15 if I'm wrong, I got a lot of good
8:17 company. Like Einstein, Fineman, whoever
8:20 won the the damn Nobel Prize in '98 for
8:22 nitric oxide.
8:24 Um there's a lot of people, even equals
8:27 mc squared. I mean technically, not to
8:29 believe that biophysics is really
8:31 happening means Gurwitsch is wrong.
8:33 There's so many people are wrong. And I
8:34 have to be honest with you. I don't
8:37 think these people are wrong. I think
8:38 that centralized medicine and
8:42 specifically biochemists have absolutely
8:44 poisoned the well of the truth.
8:46 And that's why I always tell people, PhDs,
8:47 PhDs,
8:50 they know a lot about a little.
8:52 To discover what I've discussed with you
8:54 here in an hour and a half,
8:56 you have to know a lot about a lot of
8:58 different things. And then
9:00 you have to be wise enough to make sense
9:02 of it. When people think about energy,
9:04 sleep, and hormones, they think in terms
9:07 of fats and carbs. But your metabolism
9:09 doesn't run on macros. Minerals are the
9:10 foundation for your metabolism. And a
9:12 healthy and well-functioning metabolism
9:14 starts from your mitochondria. Every
9:16 single biological process inside your
9:18 body requires minerals. When your body
9:20 is lacking the minerals to run your
9:22 cellular metabolism, guess how that is
9:24 going to show up in your body. I'll let
9:25 you figure that one out. One of my
9:27 favorite ways to ensure that I get all
9:28 the minerals that I need on a daily
9:30 basis is through shilajit, a
9:31 herbo-mineral substance which is made
9:33 from the decomposition of plants and
9:35 bacteria, this process taking place over
9:37 thousands of years. It is primarily
9:39 harvested from the Altai and the
9:41 Himalayan mountains, some of the most
9:43 pristine locations on the planet. The
9:44 beautiful thing about shilajit, it comes
9:46 with high concentrations of fulvic acid.
9:48 This molecule actually drives the
9:50 minerals into the cells where they can
9:51 do their work. So basically, the
9:54 minerals come in their most bioavailable
9:56 form for your body to be able to use.
9:57 Unlike most supplements, which become
9:59 expensive urine, this one actually does
10:01 something without the hype. It's not
10:03 man-made. It's produced by Mother Nature
10:05 herself. Now, something very important
10:07 to mention is the quality of shilajit.
10:09 Not all shilajit on the market is
10:11 created equally. The one that I use has
10:12 been tested for heavy metals and
10:14 impurities, ensuring that you are
10:16 getting the highest quality shilajit.
10:17 So, if you want to explore the shilajit
10:19 that I use on a daily basis, make sure
10:20 that you visit the description below,
10:22 and make sure to use the promo code
10:23 attached for a nice discount on your

10:27 And what I try to tell my friends when
10:30 they ask me how I figured this out, I
10:31 always come back to something I learned
10:33 about as a young boy when I was
10:36 interested a lot in Einstein's work. He
10:39 solved something that's very similar to
10:41 what we're talking about today.
10:44 Two guys, Hertz and Helmholtz, did
10:47 studies in 1870 through 1900, and they
10:49 found this thing in physics called the
10:51 ultraviolet catastrophe. Nobody could
10:53 figure out what the thing was, even the
10:55 best physicists of the day, like uh Max
10:58 Planck, nobody could figure it out.
11:01 So, here Einstein is in college,
11:04 you know, he wasn't very successful, but
11:06 he was sitting there at the Bern patent
11:07 office, and what did he do? He wrote
11:10 down the thermodynamic givens of the
11:12 ultraviolet catastrophe, and he looked
11:14 at the thermodynamic givens. He goes,
11:17 "How do these things all fit together?"
11:19 And what happens in his miracle year?
11:21 One of his four papers
11:23 is called the photoelectric effect.
11:25 Now, people like to believe that
11:27 everything should be simple, that you
11:28 could explain it to a third grader.
11:30 That's like Occam's razor. And I always
11:32 tell people when they say to me,
11:33 "There's no way this could be right,
11:35 Jack." I say, "Well, tell me, what is
11:37 Occam's razor parsimonious about the
11:40 photoelectric effect? That it only works
11:42 with UV light." In other words, red
11:43 light doesn't have anything to do with
11:45 it. Orange light doesn't have anything
11:47 to do with it. But, Einstein was able to
11:50 figure out 1905
11:52 that based on the work of Helmholtz and
11:54 Hertz, this is the only thing that makes sense.
11:55 sense.
11:57 And he wrote the paper. Here's the
11:59 ironic thing. Einstein never did an
12:02 experiment, okay? The United States
12:04 hires a guy named George Millikan, I
12:07 think in 1920, 21, to prove Einstein
12:10 wrong. What does Millikan wind up doing?
12:11 He winds up proving Einstein was right.
12:13 He does all the experiments that prove
12:15 that the photoelectric effect explains
12:18 the ultraviolet catastrophe. And then
12:19 what happens in science? They give
12:21 Millikan the Nobel Prize before
12:24 Einstein. If that doesn't define
12:27 the [ __ ] psychoticness
12:28 of centralized science, I don't think
12:31 anything else will. Because we penalize people
12:32 people
12:36 for thinking. And that's the reason why
12:37 physics in the beginning of the 20th
12:40 century was held back for almost 40 or
12:42 50 years. I would tell you, the same
12:44 thing is going on in biology right now.
12:45 That's what I'm trying to explain to
12:47 you. But, I also think the same thing's
12:49 going on in physics right now
12:51 when you think about relativity and
12:53 quantum mechanics, because
12:56 what's the what's the new version of the
12:58 the 21st century ultraviolet
12:59 catastrophe? They can't figure out how
13:01 gravity works.
13:04 And they can't figure out why relativity
13:06 and quantum mechanics can't resolve this problem.
13:07 problem.
13:09 And I've actually thought about that
13:11 problem. I'm I'm more interested in that
13:12 problem right now than the stuff that I
13:15 talked to you today, cuz I think I know
13:17 what the answer is. But, I know that I'm
13:20 going to have to spend another 20 years
13:22 doing the same thing that I did with
13:24 this melanin mitochondria story. And to
13:26 be honest with you, those that's the
13:29 things that I like to spend my time
13:31 thinking about when I'm out here.
13:33 But, I think the stuff that we talked
13:36 about today, as a doctor, I had 40 years
13:39 of seeing my patients fall apart.
13:42 And I believe that is actually the same
13:44 thing that Einstein did in the patent
13:46 office, where
13:47 he saw these thermodynamic givens, and
13:49 he had to make sense of it. I had to see
13:52 a lot of sick patients to really figure
13:54 out what was wrong with them.
13:55 And then when I figured it out and came
13:57 up with the leptin prescription, and I
13:58 started to see all these people get
14:00 better that couldn't get better, kind of
14:02 like your girlfriend,
14:04 I was stunned, cuz I didn't believe it, either.
14:05 either.
14:06 I said,
14:09 "We've got everything backwards, because
14:11 we keep looking inside out when the
14:13 story is outside in." And
14:14 And
14:16 when you think about it like that, then
14:18 you then you start to realize nature was
14:20 a wise
14:22 uh theoretical biologist when she put
14:25 leptin underneath the skin
14:27 uh in us. And
14:29 when you realize that almost every
14:32 single animal on this planet, no matter
14:34 if it's GOE or not, has melanin in its surface.
14:36 surface.
14:38 And the most complex ones tend to have
14:41 more melanin inside than on the surface,
14:44 doing very specific things. You know,
14:45 like the some of the things that you
14:47 asked me about,
14:49 about uh dopamine. I mean, most people
14:52 know that Parkinson's disease is tied to
14:53 neuromelanin destruction in the
14:55 substantia [ __ ] Um
14:56 Um
14:59 and that story uh is not solved even to
15:01 this day in centralized medicine. I'm a
15:03 brain surgeon. I know a lot about this.
15:05 I've done a lot of these surgeries to
15:07 try to help people out. And what are the
15:11 surgeries all tied to? Putting a a hole
15:12 in your head, putting a wire down there,
15:14 put a DC electric current in there.
15:15 Well, that's exactly what melanin does. And
15:17 And
15:20 it's amazing to me that we don't think
15:22 about that. We would rather spend, I
15:24 don't know, $100,000 doing this fancy
15:26 operation to put a wire in someone's
15:27 head than instead of telling them, "How
15:29 about you clean up your environment, get
15:31 melanin on the outside so you can suck
15:33 it on the inside, and you can fix your
15:35 own substantia nigra?" But, it turns out
15:37 people in New Jersey, people in New
15:39 York, people in Finland, they don't want
15:40 to do that. They would rather have a
15:42 hole drilled in your head and, you know,
15:44 put a device in there
15:46 to improve the situation. And and functionally,
15:47 functionally,
15:49 when you have the device in there long
15:50 enough, it actually doesn't work,
15:52 either. It's better than the drugs, but
15:54 it's still not better than how nature
15:56 built us. Guys, if you haven't already
