Dr. Jeffrey shares a surprising experiment where incandescent light significantly improved color perception for weeks, unlike LEDs, leading him to question the impact of modern built environments on human physiology.
Dr. Jeffrey exposes the dangers of using lasers for myopia treatment, explaining that unlike LED light, laser light scatters unevenly and forms 'costics,' concentrating energy in specific areas and potentially burning out retina pieces. He strongly advises against laser use without profound medical reason.
Dr. Jeffrey reveals the frustrating irony of a leading eye hospital building a new facility with infrared-blocking glass and "the world's worst LEDs," directly contradicting research on beneficial light and highlighting a slow learning curve in public health.
Learn practical, low-cost strategies to incorporate more long-wavelength light into your life, especially if you're on a budget. Tips include dimming LEDs, using beeswax candles, and utilizing incandescent or dimmable halogen bulbs to support your health and circadian rhythm.
Learn how plants naturally reflect therapeutic infrared light, offering a simple way to improve health. Dr. Jeffrey shares how urban tree planting reduced stress markers and calls for research into the profound impact of natural environments on our physiology.
Dr. Jeffrey explains the growing concern of myopia in children, driven by close work and absence of long-wavelength light. He warns that this can lead to stretched retinas, tears, and macular degeneration later in life, highlighting it as a ticking public health time bomb.
Discover how cost-cutting in construction leads to cheap, restricted-spectrum LEDs and infrared-blocking glass, creating a 'double hit' that suppresses human physiology and mitochondrial health, according to Dr. Jeffrey.
Dr. Jeffrey recounts a profoundly moving story of a child with severe mitochondrial disease who showed dramatic improvements in mobility and eyelid function after being exposed to red light, highlighting the potential therapeutic benefits of long-wavelength light.
