1st archery elk has been harvested.

beyond grateful for the experiences this past month in the most pristine land and wilderness.

the constant flicker in your local grocery store is detrimental to your brain and nervous system.

the processed food in this aisle and the artificial lighting above it are equally destroying our bodies.

modern disease isn't coming from one thing.

many people in the health/fitness community will try to convince you that running is bad for your health because it is “stressful” and spikes cortisol. that it is catabolic.

it is very important that you don’t listen to them if you enjoy running.

there is a big difference between running on a trail in nature in natural fiber clothing with airtube headphones (or no headphones at all) vs pounding the pavement in a city or even worse pounding the treadmill under artificial light.

running trails for me, reinforces a deep connection with nature while simultaneously improves my cardiovascular conditioning.

worried about stress? stay in Zone 2, build up your mileage and pace slowly.

most importantly, do what you love doing…and if possible do it outside.

"my eyes and brain are just so tired at the end of the day I'm not sure why"

slow motion footage of your phone screen might have the answer.

Tldw: as always.. go outside ☀️

the best time to build your solar callus for summer is now. In March and throughout Spring. you wont be able to handle peak summer UV unless you train your cells months before to adapt. free energy is available to your body - take advantage and go outside 50% more than you did last Spring.

working outside could and should be this easy. this wooden deck railing just happens to be the perfect height for standing + typing. imagine if we designed outdoor spaces to be compatible with our modern lifestyle requirements? grounded. sun bathing…yet productive. my nervous system can take on so much more capacity working in the digital world when simultaneously immersed in the outdoors. this is the ultimate hack to stay regulated.

LEDs could never have this aesthetic. Lighting should be analog. Pure filament warmth. What our body craves.

Blue light isn’t inherently bad. But the reason most conversations around blue light lead you to believing such is because in isolation or through artificial sources, it is detrimental to our health.

Artificial light is presenting light in isolation which is the opposite of what nature intended. Nature was created with intentional balance, and that is any sunlight is over 50% infrared light. Balance out the blue light exposure that you receive constantly through screens and LED lights by going outside and receiving the proper amount of infrared light to regulate your neural pathways and nervous system. ☀️

Your brain and thyroid are some of the most sensitive organs in your body and bluetooth headphones happen to be placed right in your ear creating a direct shot for EMF exposure right to your brain.

Living in an overly stimulating and toxic environment already, wearing bluetooth headphones is just another way to add even more stress to your body. This doesn’t mean that Bluetooth is going to give everyone thyroid problems or brain cancer. Distance and duration are the most important factors in determining risk of negative effects from EMF exposure…so being cognizant of that is key.

I always opt for wired headphones, and specifically prefer airtube headphones (zero magnetic field or RF exposure) so that I’m getting the overall lowest amount of EMF exposure but can still use headphones.

I am currently working on airtube headphones (that actually have good audio quality) to help decrease our overall EMF exposure without a major functionality hit. Still a few months away but comment “BLUETOOTH” to get early access to our first batch when they are available.

Would lead paint protect us from 5G?! Unfortunately not. And even if lead paint did block RF EMFs…if you used your phone inside of a faraday cage you would just augment your own EMF exposure (because the EMF output would boost as your phone struggles to make a connection to the nearest tower).

The reality is that lead’s ability to actually eliminate EMF is pretty minimal considering it’s not that good of a conductor in comparison to other metals. Silver and copper are the most conductive metals and the best attenuators of RF EMFs.

Faraday paint with silver is available but I would consider the faraday cage effect before you go and paint your entire bedroom. Metals attenuate RF EMFs mostly through reflection and not absorption…

So no, I wouldn’t recommend lead paint. But it’s always good to question why something was banned 🥸

It’s completely unnecessary to have your wifi and cellular date on at the same time when a wifi network is available. Your phone is the number 1 source of EMF exposure and a large reason for that is because it is constantly pinging 3-4 different cell bands/towers at a much higher power density compared to a standard Wi-Fi connection.

If you are going to be exposed to Wifi, turning off your cellular data is the best way to optimize your EMF environment. Of course, hard wiring your internet is the gold standard - but impractical for many people.

Modern windows can negatively impact our health because they block large portions of the light spectrum specifically near-infrared (NIR) and UVA light, both of which play an important role in cellular energy and overall vitality. Sunlight is our primary source of NIR, and when we spend most of our time indoors behind the now standard “low-E” windows, we’re removing key inout signals that our bodies rely on.

You can test your windows at home by feeling how much heat passes through the other side or seeing if there is a mark/text for “low-E coating”. Small environmental design changes can have a major impact on how you feel each day, especially if you don’t have the luxury of being able to spend the majority of the day outside (most people).

If the weather is warm enough opening windows fully is the best option for better light + more negatively charged “fresh” air.

If you live in an extremely hot and sunny environment (ie Arizona)  having low E windows may still make sense. However overall I think energy efficiency standards has come at the cost of our own cellular energy, and is not the tradeoff I want to make.

simple and deliberate, yet challenging in a modern - attention seeking world.

what we are trying to solve @daylighhtco @daylight_kids

the best things in life have friction. embrace them.

Adapting to cold in winter is the key to thriving instead of surviving. Cold signals our mitochondria to uncouple, which will improve your bodies metabolic efficiency in a cold environment by producing more heat, up regulating fat burning, and inducing mitochondrial biogenesis (creation of more mitochondria).

This doesn’t mean you need to take an ice bath every morning. Keep your thermostat <65F, go for walks with just a couple layers of clothing, and overall spend as much time as possible outside to give your body the signals it needs to thrive.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is avoidable if you embrace seasonality.

Most people don’t realize that car windows don’t just block UVB, they also filter out nearly all Near-Infrared (NIR) and Ultraviolet-A (UVA) light.

When sunlight is distorted and unbalanced, it can be damaging at a cellular level (for example: the truck drivers face over the course of 28 years). Full-spectrum light works synergistically, helping regulate oxidative stress and support mitochondrial function. You don’t want high energy visible (blue) without the balancing red and infrared.

Next time you’re on a road trip, try driving with the windows down OR get some in cabin incandescents light to add the infrared back in.  

You will feel the difference ☀️💡

EMFs have been on the main stage thanks to an incredible investigation from @sunlightis.life about the magnetic field exposure from an electrical substation next to the San Francisco 49ers facilities potentially being the reason behind their league leading injury rate. As someone who has researched the biological impact of EMFs for years now, here are my key findings and thoughts: • ELF Magnetic Fields have been shown to increase risk of cancer + risk of miscarriage at very low levels (3-4mG) • In 1990 the EPA recommended ELF mag fields be classified as a “probable carcinogen”, but this was reversed at the last minute • The Niners have practiced at this facility since the late 80s, but the substation went through a 2000% capacity increase in 2014 when Levi Stadium was built • Man made electromagnetic fields even at low intensities can interfere (EMI) with normal cellular signaling and lower the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) • Athletic movements are rooted in fascia, which is a collagen-water matrix that has electromagnetic properties such as piezoelectricity and charge transfer • Since 2014 (year injuries started skyrocketing) our electromagnetic environment as a society has drastically changed (more artificial lights, screen time through the roof, RF-EMF exposure, etc.)

There is likely no way to prove actual causation of an electrical substation’s magnetic field exposure causing an increase in soft tissue injuries given the current body of evidence, however doing investigative work such as Peter Cowan has done opens the possibility of that being real in the future.

It also brings awareness to the overall impact of our electromagnetic environment on our health, which is in my opinion a severely under-discussed topic because it deals in a lot of inconvenient truths.

Comment “EMF” and I’ll send you a link to my in depth substack article on this topic which dives way deeper than this video and considers all of the potential reasons Niners players have a higher injury rate.

So much work to be done..

Modern “energy efficient” low emissivity windows are a large problem for our health because they block out biologically important Near-Infrared (NIR) and Ultraviolet-A (UVA) light. It takes the full spectrum sunlight and distorts it to being very dominant in the visible wavelengths.

This is problematic, because low energy near-infrared light balances out the oxidative response in our cells when exposed to high energy visible (blue/violet) light. A large reason you feel so drained being inside all day is because there is little to no infrared light. We need more warmth, not less in our cold modern world.

Best Windows for Transmissivity : Low Iron Glass, Acrylic

Or just open your windows as much as possible for full spectrum light + negatively ionized fresh air 🌞

great image from @sarahkleinerwellness on low-E window light transmissivity (can vary by window)

The 5G towers down the street aren’t ideal, but the devices (esp. our phones) we keep close to us and use every day are what we should pay more attention to.

We rely on our phones constantly, and getting rid of them isn’t realistic. Here’s what you can do instead:

1. Turn off 5G in your settings.
2. Only use Wi-Fi OR Cell Data —> Never both. Ideally Wi-Fi and rest of your phone on airplane mode.
3. Keep your phone on airplane mode whenever you carry it on your body.
4. Avoid holding your devices next to your brain or reproductive organs. Use headphones or speaker for phone calls, use a pillow or a table to put separation from a laptop.
5. Keep your phone and all devices out of the bedroom (and unplug Wi-Fi) for better sleep quality.
6. When you turn your cell data back on, give it 5-10 seconds to reconnect away from your body (this is when RF-EMF output is the highest).

Using technology intentionally is the best way to reduce RF-EMF exposure and minimize the stress it may have on your biology.

Comment “EMF” and I’ll send you my full two hour podcast with Alec Zeck, @d_alec_zeck, where we dove deep into practical tips about light, EMFs, and our mission @daylight.kids.

In my opinion a candle or a campfire is the gold standard for the healthiest light to use at nighttime. Fire is extremely warm (<2000K), dim, and contains a vast amount of red + infrared light. This is the signal humans have used to wind down for all of existence.

A warm incandescent is almost identical to a candle or campfire light spectrum and that is why I think they are the best option for night time lighting in a modern world.

Red LEDs are cool and have been the mainstay recommendation in the biohacking world for years now. However I am not a fan of purely red light, the lack of infrared, the high flicker, or the high price point for a higher quality version.

This is why we have made low wattage, ultra warm and Edison style incandescents (2100K) @daylightco - so everyone can access a low cost and high quality nighttime lighting. The bulbs sold out in 3 days when we launched but are now back in stock! COMMENT “BULBS” and I’ll send you the link to grab a pack 💡

The process of traveling is unfortunately one of the most detrimental things you can do to your health, and the EMF exposure certainly plays a part in that.

In my opinion the airport RF exposure and the airplane magnetic field exposure due to the turbines and onboard power distribution system are my biggest EMF concerns. Unfortunately there isn’t much you can do to shield magnetic field exposure, but the good thing is unless you are on a long haul flight it really isn’t worth stressing about.

I need to do more measurements to confirm this, but from my initial readings + a paper I found the lowest magnetic field exposure on airplane would be in the aisle seats towards the back of the plane.

Stay tuned for more confirmation on this as I have a few flights coming up + more tips on mitigating the stressors of travel.

PS the airport scanner is much less of a worry than the phone in your pocket.

Whole food form of PUFAs, especially Omega 3s, are a superfood in winter time, because they uncouple your mitochondria and influence metabolism to be better suited for a colder environment. Fat oxidation will be up-regulated, and the ability for your body to produce heat will also increase.

The concern of high oxidative/inflammatory load of PUFAs is far less of a concern in winter time because there is less heat + light available (drivers of oxidation in unstable fats). Now this doesn’t mean you should be guzzling highly processed canola oil for breakfast…but rather thinking about nutrient dense whole food fat sources such as:

• fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, etc.)
• pastured lamb + pork
• nuts (pine nuts, walnuts, pecans, etc.)
• bone marrow

Getting cold, eating higher fat, and uncoupling your mitochondria will also allow your body to produce more light internally (infrared + weak UV). Fascinating new research is just starting to scratch the surface of our complex metabolic + respiratory cellular processes. The importance of DHA especially in winter can not be understated.

Regardless, this is not an Rx for only eating fat (keto) and an absurd amount of PUFAs this winter…it is simply a perspective to consider the importance of seasonality + cyclicality in our diet based on geographical location. Metabolic adaption is a flex of a healthy individual, why not give it shot this winter.

There is a reason cold water fish have higher PUFA/DHA content, there is a reason why nuts are available in late fall. Embrace winter - the greatest season for deep thinking + character development - to get the full human experience 🐟 ❄️

COMMENT “PUFA” and ill send you my free substack article about thriving in winter time through uncoupling your mitochondria.

You don't need to supplement Vitamin D to feel good in the winter. In fact it could do more harm than good.

You should:

1. embrace cold
2. eat seasonally
3. prioritize outdoors time
4. embrace restorative cyclicality https://blossom.primal.net/e705c6d077037c82f16419ebf64d093b6d01285b4370cfae9fd7a70c11554367.mov

benefits of living a more feral lifestyle:

microbiome diversity that is >3x higher than the upper end of the reference range.

i think im going to keep walking barefoot, drinking unfiltered mountain stream water, eating raw meat and avoiding normal personal care products.

Light. Health. Matters.

incandescents are the healthiest lights for our biology... yet banned for sale in the US for "energy efficiency"

this is absolute nonsense.

i decided to procure beautiful filament bulbs & ship them to all 50 states + Canada.

Night shift mode, red screen filters, and blue light blocking glasses are all imperfect band aid solutions to fix something that is disruptive at the core hardware level.

Also, do you really think Apple and Google want you to stare at your phone less at night time?

Screen flicker is one of the most underrated stressors to our body.

how to never get seasonal affective disorder again:

• shift diet to be higher fat/carb ratio
• get cold (turn thermostat down)
• spend as much time outside as possible
• never miss a sunrise
• sleep 8hrs/night
• don't exercise after sunset
• change to incandescent bulbs https://blossom.primal.net/d85a492987aadd8d9d9ab9fddb5a9afcb52d8872e3bcfa6e93b5c7b25981c3aa.jpg

"Teslas are an encasement of cancer causing frequencies."

Is driving in a Tesla extremely dangerous for your health?

My thoughts, breaking it down to the actual technological differences between an EV and an ICE vehicle ⬇️

The amount of RF EMFs in the wilderness = ZERO

If you ever want to understand what it feels like to be free of these stressful artificial inputs, spend the weekend camping off grid.

The ultimate nervous system reset.

A friendly reminder that incandescents are the healthiest lights you can buy.

Rich in warm and biologically important near infrared light.

No pulsed flicker. Purely analog.

With the long night approaching, it is officially incandescent season.

Wishing all the best to Chris Williamson, but you seriously cannot get away with pushing your body to the degree he is when in such a toxic environment.

My full thoughts ⬇️

No IV or supplement is going to fix the fact that his environment, especially from an electromagnetic perspective, is draining him and keeping him in Cell Danger Response. Tinnitus is a hallmark symptom of Electro-hypersensitivity(EHS).

He needs a tech detox, nature filled reset and then a very purposeful path forward in lifestyle habits to get his body back into a healing state. I hope that happens.

How bad are the EMFs coming from Starlink compared to a normal Wi-Fi router?

In my opinion, if you have an optimized setup out in the wilderness, much better.

Here's why:

☀️

I’ve been living off grid for 70% of the last two months. It has been nothing short of incredible.

Incredible for all aspects of my life.

Here is a tour of my setup which allows me to work off grid and still take in the benefits of living in nature:

First year fully committed to bow hunting elk. Ultimately unsuccessful but boy did I learn a lot the past two weeks.

Hiked ~115 miles in 9 days, dozen of close encounters, countless bugles.

The wilderness is unforgiving, but that’s the beauty of it.

FYI if you are looking for high transmission windows at a reasonable price/aesthetic..."low iron glass" is the best solution

aka normal clear white glass with no coating

Seriously.

In 1966 the US government (DARPA) tested the impact of radio frequency EMFs on the cognition of monkeys in a secret project called "Pandora"

The results were startling & covered up for decades.

They used the same frequency EMF your Wi-Fi and 5G phone use.

After 10hrs of exposure for 12 days..the monkey had a "slowdown in the ability to time work functions"

on the 13th day the monkey "further degraded, stopped working completely and appeared to be in a deep sleep"

they then gave the monkey 5 days of rest before irradiating it again and this time it took 8 days for slowdown to appear, 10 days for the animal to return to a deep sleep condition

they gave the monkey 5 days of rest once again, but then ended the study and at that point "the monkey had not returned to normal" according to the study report logs.

The intensity of the RF signal (2.4-4GHz) was 5mW/cm2, perfectly safe based on former and current safety thresholds.

Source: The Microwave Debate

A book that took me many hours to find a PDF copy of…

It seems our Daylight Computer has noticeably lower RF-EMFs than a Macbook Pro b/c we have a weaker Wi-Fi chip

DC-1 peak reading: 79,000 uW/m2 DC-1 typical range: 500-2000 uW/m2

Macbook peak: ~2,000,000 uW/m2 Macbook typical range: 4000-10000 uW/m2

Not insignificant.

Not a perfect experiment for a few reasons, but this passes logical test of having a weaker chipset.

I made this video for an investor, pretty cool that our cap table cares about EMFs

So much more to come.

3hr podcast I did with

is now live

Deep dive on the biological effects of:

-light (sunlight, LEDs, incandescents) -EMFs (AirPods, RFs, power EMFs) -tech devices & modern lifestyles

also how we are addressing these issues

GM.

Apple tells you to never hold your cell phone on your body or next to your head due to RF radiation.

They do all of the "Safety tests" on a 6' 2'' 220lb male bio-dummy and use safety guidelines that haven’t been updated since 1996.

No fiction, just facts.

We have a once in a multi generational opportunity

to shift they way humans interact with technology

We are not taking this lightly

These things used to just be the “norm” but the degradation of quality in society has now greatly impacted our health

ask your grandma what they had and you’ll understand why this will drastically improve how you feel everyday

Throw out your:

LED/fluorescent bulbs & replace them with Incandescents

polyester clothing & replace with cotton/linen/wool

plastic containers & replace with glass

toxic cleaning products & replace with baking soda + vinegar

cooking oils & replace with butter/tallow

🫂

Near Infrared Light (NIR) can penetrate multiple layers of clothing with minimal reduction in intensity.

Layer up (if needed) and get outside this winter if you want to be healthy.

Free energy from the sun ☀️.

GM. My winter sleep setup:

• wood bed frame
• bison hide, sheepskin, wool blanket, organic cotton sheets
• grounding mat
• 48-54F (~10C) temp
• no WiFi
• no power in bedroom
• bed facing North
• candles only

You need great sleep if you want to restore the days cellular damage.

Wyoming is a real citadel in the making. Not because it’s glamorous or because we want a fancy weird cult vibe neighborhood.
