Biohacking - Thaddeus Owen - Cold Exposure and Light Therapy

from Collective Insights Hosted by Qualia Life

In this episode of Collective Insights, Dr. Greg Kelly interviews Thaddeus Owen, also known within the biohacking community as “Primal Hacker", about his book "The Hibernation Diet" and the impact of light exposure on hormones, weight loss, and sleep. Thaddeus explains that light is information for the body and that the changing light levels throughout the year and throughout the day can affect our metabolism, appetite, and weight gain or loss. He suggests that cycling our diet based on the time of year and the seasons can be a healthier approach than sticking to one way of eating indefinitely. Thaddeus also discusses the importance of cold adaptation and shares strategies for improving sleep, such as using blue light-blocking glasses in the evening. He emphasizes the need to create a lighting strategy that aligns with the natural light cycles to support optimal health. Sponsored by Qualia Synbiotic: https://neurohacker.com/insights15.
