Holistic Wellness: Optimizing Your Sleep, Nutrition, Testosterone, & Light w/ Dr. Tyler Jean

This week's guest on The Red Light Report is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to holistic health and wellness and, on top of that, is an absolute positive, kindhearted human being.​Dr. Tyler Jean is ultimately passionate about educating others on the importance of food as medicine while inspiring them to embrace healthier lifestyles. He is a former Division I swimmer and a recovering perfectionist. Dr. Jean received his B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology and just graduated (this past week -- congrats!) from his medical schooling and is now a Naturopathic Doctor. Dr. Jean embarked on his medical journey after becoming frustrated with the medical system and having his own share of health issues, including generalized anxiety, asthma, eczema, and ADHD. He found a lot of healing in food, so he originally started his Instagram account as a vegan recipe page during his 18-month journey as a vegan foodie.   However, through trial and error he learned that the catabolic nature of a strict vegan diet ultimately became incompatible with his body and left him depleted and cachectic. After spending several years in both laboratory (neuroscience) and clinical research (type I diabetes), he decided to pursue a career in clinical care — one that took an integrative, holistic, and preventative approach to medicine. ​​Now freshly graduated, he gets to apply his experiences, knowledge and expertise to his patients in a clinical setting. Needless to say, patients that are lucky enough to be under the care of Dr. Jean are in profoundly compassionate and healing hands. - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Tyler Jean discuss the following: His passion for educating others on the importance of food as medicine while inspiring them to embrace healthy lifestyles How we can prevent disease through specific lifestyle changes His experience with schooling and why he chose the allopathic model His experience being in medical school during the pandemic How much he learned about light in med school and its impact on health His methods of assessing root causes of problems The pillars of health we should focus on Community, its importance and impact on our health, and how to better implement it in our lives Optimizing your sleep, sleep environment, and circadian rhythm Anecdotal experience of using red light therapy for patients and whether it stimulates or sedates them Melatonin, the “melatonin hangover”, and his opinion on supplementing it Structured water and how he makes his own How you can structure your water via red and near-infrared light How he initially learned about red light therapy Photobiomodulation research that stands out to him the most Testosterone and how red light therapy boosted his levels What happens on the cellular level with red light therapy to boost testosterone His upcoming 10-week course on Integrated and Holistic Nutrition Things you can implement today to optimize your health, wellness, and longevity - Watch the YouTube video of this episode here: https://youtu.be/p8EIMJUUV5E - Find out more about him here: tylerjean.com Instagram: @functional.foods - Don't forget to check out these health-related recommendations from previous podcast guests! - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook
