E49 We are Living with Solar Deficiency! Light & Optics of the Human Body with Scott Zimmerman

Scott Zimmerman is an optics engineer with over 35 years of experience in the industry and over 80 US patents. In the last decade, Scott has turned his attention to how light interacts with the body. This has led him to becoming an expert on the physiology of melatonin and how NIR/IR light propagates through living tissue. Scott is an expert in optics and has focussed his attention on quantifying the health effects of natural sunlight. Scott has unparalleled knowledge about how light interacts with systems.His innovations and inventions have been used successfully in a wide range of military and commercial products that include night vision displays, liquid crystal display backlighting designs, and lighting fixtures. More recently, he has been working closely with world-renowned researchers in the field of biology, looking closely at the relationship between natural light rich in near-infrared, melatonin and cortisol. His publications are alongside Professor Russel Reiter, the world’s expert in melatonin. Scott’s insights are profound and are changing the way we perceive our relationship with light and why we are yet to get a grip on diseases of modern life.Scott has also started a company, NIRA, and seeks to integrate the best of LED technology and the best of incandescent technology to make lightbulbs that are safe and provide much-needed NIR wavelengths absent in modern fixtures.Find Scott:Nira Lighting: https://niralighting.myshopify.com/?ref=ANDEEARAEContact Scott: https://niralighting.myshopify.com/pages/contactLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-zimmerman-29b7b59/ VIVARAYSLINK: https://vivarays.com/QUANTUMHEALTHYCODE: QUANTUMHEALTHY▲Find Andeea:https://www.instagram.com/andeearae/https://www.andeearae.com/DISCOUNT CODES:▲ Daylight Computer: https://bit.ly/3ExpOAt ▲ Blue Bottle Love: https://bluebottlelove.com/?ref=1070Code: ANDEEARAE for 9% off▲ CeraThrive: https://bit.ly/3C1AWV1 Code: ANDEEARAE for 10% off▲ BodyBio:  https://bodybio.com/?ref=andeearae Code: ANDEEARAE for 20% off▲ Shield Your Body: https://tidd.ly/3z1Opev Code: ANDEEARAE for 10% off▲ MEA Water Device: https://meawater.com/andeearaeCode: ANDEEARAE for 10% off▲ Midwest Red Light Therapy bit.ly/3UPr5Y4Code: andeearae for 10% off▲ EMR TEK https://www.emr-tek.com/ANDEEARAECode: ANDEEARAE for 15% off🕊️Find Laura:https://www.instagram.com/lkwellness/https://laurakissmannwellness.com/DISCOUNT CODES:Daylight Computer: https://bit.ly/daylight-lkwellnessMidwest Red Light Therapy 🕊️Code: for 10% offBlock Blue Light: Code: LKW-BBLShield Your Body: Code: LKWellnessMEA Water: https://meawater.com/lkwellness Code: LKW:MEADISCLAIMERS: This podcast is for educational purposes only.Some of the links above are affiliate links, some that include discounts.
