Summary

In this episode of Collective Insights, Dr. Greg Kelly interviews Thaddeus Owen, also known within the biohacking community as “Primal Hacker", about his book "The Hibernation Diet" and the impact of light exposure on hormones, weight loss, and sleep. Thaddeus explains that light is information for the body and that the changing light levels throughout the year and throughout the day can affect our metabolism, appetite, and weight gain or loss. He suggests that cycling our diet based on the time of year and the seasons can be a healthier approach than sticking to one way of eating indefinitely. Thaddeus also discusses the importance of cold adaptation and shares strategies for improving sleep, such as using blue light-blocking glasses in the evening. He emphasizes the need to create a lighting strategy that aligns with the natural light cycles to support optimal health. Sponsored by Qualia Synbiotic: https://neurohacker.com/insights15.

0:00.0	What makes the biochemistry happen?
0:02.7	And it seems to be really related to light.

0:12.2	The light levels change all year and throughout the day and throughout the seasons.
0:17.6	And if those light levels and the type of light being generated is read as information by our body,

1:06.7	indicates approximately 40% of Americans experience digestive health discomfort on at least a monthly
1:12.5	basis. But digestion is just one part of gut health. Did you know your gut also contains
1:18.6	millions of neurons? It forms a two-way communication pathway with your brain, called the gut-brain
1:23.9	axis, that affects your mood and brain performance.
1:28.4	Your gut health is also crucial to immune health, optimal nutrient absorption, and even
1:33.4	your aging process.
1:35.3	In creating a bio-symbiotic, I worked with a neurohacker science team to factor in a far
