0:00.0	Welcome to the Kamiyan podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow.
0:09.0	I often say that disease is a normal and expected result of our adaptive mechanisms simply trying to cope with our lifestyle.
0:20.0	In short, our culture has hijacked our evolution.
0:25.5	And I like to underscore this concept by leveraging my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather, times 600, who lived as a hunter-gatherer in 10,321 BC in the area of East Africa that we now call Kenya.
0:42.0	Now, his name was Fedge Ansark, which somewhat unimaginatively is my name spelled backwards.
0:49.3	Now, Fedge's lifestyle and ecosystem mirrored those of hundreds of generations before him.
0:55.7	And across vast swaths of time, human biology evolved in relationship to its environment.
1:05.3	Now, I have virtually the same exact biology as FEDGE, maybe a closer shave, but our cultural conditions could not be more
1:14.5	different. Now, this change in culture has created evolutionary mismatches. Our hard-wrought
1:22.1	advantages have now become disadvantageous. Now, there are many, many examples of how culture has rendered
1:31.3	the adaptive maladaptive. And today, I explore the human relationship with light. I dive into
1:41.9	many of the ancient health-conferring aspects of being exposed to the right amount of light and the right kind of light at the right times.
1:54.0	I will also outline how our modern rapport with light, both artificial and natural light, leads to a variety of negative,
2:04.5	physiological, and psychological conditions. And I will introduce protocols related to
2:11.4	deliberate light therapy that can realign you with your adaptive mechanisms and lead to greater well-being.
2:20.1	And I will try to accomplish this in a light-hearted manner.
2:25.3	Now, let me begin with a guilty pleasure and admission.
2:29.6	I love movies. I absolutely adore documentaries and good TV series. Skyler and I were members of
2:38.9	Netflix when they used to send you those red DVD containing envelopes via snail mail.
2:45.7	It seems like eons ago that two flirtatious hours of Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey
2:53.6	would be delivered right to our mail slot.
2:57.6	It's pretty difficult to grok the scale of evolutionary history when I can barely remember the era of mail order rom-coms.
