Tendons work closely with circadian rhythms. Tendons cleans itself & repairs on a schedule that is heavily intertwined with light. This trend is popular now with overall health but it is *actually* essential for elite joint health. Many joint pains are health habit related.

NIR light → targets mitochondrial bound water (not CCO) → • Expands water layers → better nutrient flow • Reduces viscosity → ATP synthase spins faster • Result: Faster healing, less oxidative stress
Synopsis of physical parameters related to interfacial water layers. When we use R-NIR lasers in LLLT to irradiate cells or tissues, photons interact with both biomolecules & intracellular & intramitochondrial IWL masking surfaces. ρ: Density, η: viscosity, γ: nterfacial tension

Magnesium Threonate (or Bisglycinate) supplementation can help protect against hearing loss. Also the best treatments for tinnitus. Discussed on the Huberman Lab podcast out now with Dr Stankovic MD, PhD, of @Stanford (She is Chair of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery).

This new paper blows my mind! I have been aware for a long time that glyphosate usage on core crops over time is strongly correlated with the rise in diabetes and obesity prevalence in the US. This paper reveals the mechanism - glyphosate suppresses Akkermansia in the gut, and

Dr. Glen Jeffery spent over a decade studying how light affects mitochondria. Blue LEDs impair them so severely, he won't get ethical approval to test it on humans. Red & infrared do the opposite—improving vision & significantly lowering blood glucose. Here's what he found: 🧵

Almost like deep sleep primarily takes place in the first half of the night, hence “one hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours,” while second half is mostly about REM Miss first half (before 10 PM to ~ 2 AM) = missing out on GH and physical recovery, especially

Days are getting shorter in the Northern Hemisphere. That means it is time for influenza. It doesn't have to be that way according to a Harvard Study. Making time for sunshine can reduce you chance of getting the flu:

@ndreasMueller Lots of correlation studies until recently, where we actually have a number of randomized control trials showing causation: Chopped four days off of hospital admission for Covid patients https://t.co/Lk7DsN4vZL Improved color vision in a randomized control trial

Few people know this When red light (630-750nm) reaches your cells, it's absorbed by mitochondria (your cellular power plants) through an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase. This increases ATP production, essentially giving your cells an energy boost. The results? • Faster

The theory now is that longer wavelengths of light specifically from sunlight restore membrane potential in your mitochondria, whereas shorter wavelengths of light (such as from LEDs) reduce it. This needs testing, but it’s intriguing & brings together a lot of data.
Very cool paper. “Longer wavelengths in sunlight pass through the human body and have a systemic impact which improves vision” I have known the senior author Glen Jeffery since the mid 90s and he’s always done very interesting work. Another beauty here. https://t.co/tBvJfkDJCq

Creatine rebuilds the brain after damage. After traumatic brain injury / concussion, nearly 90% of people had complete cognitive recovery with supplementation. Creatine is a major energy producing factor in the brain, necessary for: ◇ Antioxidant protection ◇ Cell
Creatine literally builds the brain back. In traumatic brain injury or concussion, creatine is in high demand to repair the damage. Supplementing creatine back results in near complete recovery across the board. Reduces headaches, dizziness and other complications.

Exposing your skin to long wavelength light from sunlight or red/IR device can significantly improve your blood glucose regulation. Wild! but makes sense given its impact on mitochondria and metabolism. @RogerSeheult on the Huberman Lab podcast out now.

Leaves reflect long wavelength light and thereby amplify the positive effects of long wavelength light on mitochondrial function. This is a non-trivial (positive) effect. @RogerSeheult on the Huberman Lab podcast out now (full length here @X & all other platforms).

@RogerSeheult To think humans, and all life on earth, did not evolve to maximally make use of sunlight -our greatest source of energy on earth -is bizarre.
