Best Lighting For Optimal Health & Circadian Rhythms | Andrew LaTour

[@CraigHocker]

Outdoor walks in nature, get outside, hang out under trees in the shade. Indirect sunlight intensity is orders of magnitude greater than any artificial lighting you can buy for a reasonable cost. Half the light from the sun is in the infrared. Light reflected from green plants is mostly infrared. All FREE.

[@palmereldritch7579]

I live in a neighbourhood where the people do not turn on lights at night...this is done because of the birds...but humans benefit greatly from this as well..we need more smaller communities implementing these ideas...can you imagine being able to look out at the stars every night without all the regular light pollution...do people even know that stars exist anymore...

[@robmcguckin7605]

You are lucky, I live in a neighborhood where it seems like everyone replaced their incandescent bulbs with these ultra bright white, irritating LED bulbs and they leave them on all night. I used to enjoy walking my dog around 10-11 p.m. but no longer because its so annoying and impossible to see the night sky like before the government outlawed incandescent and mandated worthless and harmful blue light. I despise government and the people in it!

@@robmcguckin7605 Same, the irony is that the of the three houses across from us - first is a couple, wife has parkinsons and husband has arthritis in the lungs (and is severely limited mobility wise, the middle also a couple, the wife has multiple ailments including really bad leg vein issues impacting her ability to move and the husband has insomnia, and the third is a lesbian couple, one has parkinsons and mild dementia and the other is severely overweight. Ive notice all are heavy sunglass wearers/sun avoiders as well so breaking all the other quantum principles as well. They all see tons of doctors, take meds and have their specialists but are still in really rough shape.

Where is this? I’d love to live in such a place

[@karenlee6013]

My small community in the Santa Monica Mountains is designated a Dark Skies Community. No government enforcement. We don’t have street lights so that makes the situation easier to start with.

[@neptunevenus]

[@IskalkaQuest2010]

I found Andrew some time ago, when I was first exploring near infrared light. He is wonderful. He provided excellent YT videos in which he gave the readings for a few different Red Light Therapy devices - not just his own products! He was honest - ergo, I trusted and still do trust him. I did buy a wrap around from another provider but then later also bought two of his lights. Thanks for having him on and for this discussion. Blessings to you both.

15W incandescent pilot lamp provides IR that warms to the bones, highly recommended.

[@monicasnotes]

Such helpful info. Thank you! I’ve been (and recommend) not using indoor lights at all during the day if you are able, and just stream in natural light from the windows. Of course this isn’t possible for everyone, but if it is, try it. Think of how people lived hundreds of years ago without turning on a light in every room they entered. It’s much more peaceful., too.

[@mayerzyify]

I spend alot of time in my grow room in the winter. Hps bulbs in the Red spectrum. 😊

[@RXP91]

LIFX bulbs are cool. I have them for my home theater & just discovered they have a "circadian rhythm" feature where they replicate the colour temp of the sun outside depending on exactly where you are in the world (location from phone app). So whenever you switch the lights on it'll match the outdoor sun colour temp!

[@song4mozart]

I agree! I do not turn on the lights in school.

[@scoobtoober2975]

Amazon has brake light film. It's sticky backed and red. One cheap option. We put it over our round led panels in the shower. So the bathroom can be red or the vanity lights can be regular incandescing.

[@ghostrecon3214]

Red Sheathing Tape is also an option for covering all of the led indicator lights around your home. I'll test it tomorrow and see how it does with blue and white lights.

[@kathym6603]

Andrew, Your voice is perfect for KZbin. I am wild about natural light. I'll be looking for more info from you.

[@deborahstensvaag2033]

Exactly the information I needed!👍

[@gangapoornima]

Really good podcast, thank you so much for sharing, this is so important

[@Dreamopticsredlightglasses]

Great conversation, thanks. Professor Glen Jeffery from UCL UK, mentioned in the conversation has tested and approved these glasses. Thanks Max and Andrew, good to hear more about the different lights and effects on sleep and melatonin, it would be good to hear more from Andrew.

[@Boonified]

What a wonderful convo, just what I was after -> thank you so so much ❤

[@sphinxy_phoenix]

Thanks you so much! I am very happy to have found you, Max. You and the discussions you post are expanding my knowledge and improving my health.

[@scoobtoober2975]

Previous job would raise or lower your desk, and ergo chairs. Sit stand wasn't a thing at that time. I love a sit stand. Corporations have been worm holeing how to get insurance discounts. If you can show your workers walking more, and prove it. Your policy will drop. If you can prevent/remediate diabetes. I'm sure they are all about it. Less down time. Less meds. Peoples feet have been wrecked from it. If you can stand for your mfg job, longer or easier. Great. I'm thinking some law suits will get this ball rolling like you said.

[@RXP91]

Also this channel is really good on setting up our indoor spaces to be better for light. But have you researched into ventilation and filtration? Joeseph Allen's book on healthy buildings was an eye opener for me. Now have a co2 mointor and HEPA filter to take out harmful PM2.5 from industrial pollution in my house.

[@maxgulhanemd]

@@RXP91 I haven’t but sounds interesting. Do you live in an urban area?

[@RXP91]

@@maxgulhanemd Yep - London but PM2.5 is in nature too & bypasses the natural filtration that our nose/lungs do to get particles straight into the blood, where they cause inflammation. Joeseph Allen's book is a good starting point & buying a co2/pm2.5/air purifier if you desire. We've built buildings to be hermetically sealed devoid of natural light & ventilation. Terrible!

[@swoosh1miI]

Thanks for the video, can you please recommend if an anti-blue filter for a 75 inch LED TV? I've found one on amazon for $180 and I thought that was insanely expensive, is there a cheaper way to filter out a 75 inch tv? Does putting a red light bulb infront of the tv screen out the blue light? Thank you in advanced.... your pal -Pepe the Gorilla

[@formxshape]

19:41 go to Japan or Taiwan, the vast majority of homes and restaurants have horrific blue flickering fluorescent lighting. They love it… no idea why, it makes their skin look green to me. Interesting that these are high IQ, high trust, high performing societies. Could they be even smarter with better lighting?

[@faza553]

Heavy drinkers too, apparently.

[@scoobtoober2975]

I think all societies are in decline because of the blue lights. The could be better. All places could be better if we saw the sun more often. Instead of UV blocked, windowless jobs.
