Hello and welcome back to Not Just Paleo. This is your host, Evan Brand. This week's episode features Dr. Richard Hansler, who works from lowbluelights.com. or actually was a senior scientist for 42 years at GE.

I'm sure we all know GE, one of the world's largest lighting laboratory companies.

He developed all different types of lighting technologies and applications,

and now he focuses on what these lights have done to the human race.

This is a huge topic.

We spoke about light and the way it affects circadian rhythms on the episode with Dr. Paul Jamonay on a few episodes back.

You should check that one out too.

But in the meantime, let's talk about this one.

Dr. Hansler is very, very concerned with the amount of lights that we have in our society, especially at nighttime.

So for women listening to this show, this can affect childbirth.

Even before the child's born, the way that light exposure happens to you, especially if you're working third shift.

This can affect your hormone levels,

which then can go through the placenta and affect the child as far as development.

You know, there's nothing to worry about yet. Just listen to this podcast first and just take

everything, take everything in. You know, some of this is overwhelming stuff because we're so used to our

lifestyle we just accept it as normal but when you realize that electricity didn't exist just 200 or

less years ago it's quite amazing all the studies that are coming out about blue light especially

and how it's affecting hormone levels.

So Dr. Hansler is 88 years old, so he's actually the oldest guest on the show, and that was

very, very great to have him on.

And we will have him on again in the future.

Hopefully we can get more into other topics.
