Summary

What are the best times to wake up, eat, work out, focus, and sleep according to circadian biology? There’s an app for that!

Bastian Groiss is the director & co-founder of Circadian, an app that helps you achieve a more natural state of health by aligning your daily activities and location with circadian biological timing.

Dr. Anthony Gustin chats with Bastian about his ongoing curiosity with circadian biology. They discuss how different sunlight stages impact everything from our energy levels, moods, and mental performance to modern-day diseases and our overall well-being.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • The evolutionary relationship humans have with sunlight

  • Why it’s almost scientifically impossible to be healthy or happy spending 99% of your day indoors

  • How indoor light (natural vs. artificial) and outdoor light (UVA vs. UVB) affect our bodies

  • Why phasing out incandescent light bulbs may be a mistake

  • The circadian biology way to start your mornings with more energy (sans caffeine)

  • What an “overdose” of blue light may cause

  • The four circadian cues that optimize our bodies for health and wellness

  • Getting over the comfort crisis

Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I am your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is

0:10.2

my belief that the natural state of penny living organisms' health and that our artificial

0:14.5

habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to

0:18.7

dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help

0:23.8

you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive

0:27.8

in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find

0:36.2

Today I welcome Bastion Grace of Circadian, an incredible app that I've been using since

0:41.8

I've been diving into light stuff over the last few months that helps you understand

0:46.6

a little bit more nuanced around circadian biology versus I think the common thing right

0:51.2

now is just wake up and get outside and see the sunlight. I think there's so much

0:55.6

more to it than that. My podcast is with Georgie Ryan as well as Sarah Kleiner should

1:00.8

be up by the time this one airs and they are very good primers. I recommend listening to

1:04.7

both of those before jumping into this one. You just want a very brief overview of some

1:09.6

of the things that are necessary for circadian biology and also just an investigation of

1:14.9

how to live a human in a modern environment, which is something that Bastion here is thinking

1:21.2

a lot about, same with me. And yeah, just very grateful to be connected to Bastion

1:25.7

and all the work that he's doing building this app circadian. And I hope you guys tune

1:29.2

in and enjoy this one. I don't have any affiliation with circadian. I don't get paid to do this.

1:34.2

He didn't give me any free products on that investor. So it's just an app that I found that I really

1:38.9

enjoy and really love and I wish him the best and success and I think that it's going to be helpful

1:43.6

for you. If you get into this stuff in light just to figure out when certain things are going on,
