fundamentally, I think the biggest risk of junk light is that it's, it's tricking us that we can be

indoors and not have sunlight and function at anywhere near the level biologically as if we are

outdoors in light. So it's a pseudo replacement for full spectrum light that with using blue light

tricks our brain just keep secreting cortisol and keep us awake

and alert without having the rest of the spectrum especially again that red and near infrared to

power the the energy production help support in the energy production processes so i look at it again

like an engine that or a fire that's burning with more smoke and smoke being reactive oxygen

species versus a fire that's burning clean, which I would liken to when we're functioning

in full spectrum sunlight.

So welcome to the Collective Insights podcast. I'm Dr. Dan Stickler. I'm the medical

director here at the neurohacker collective. And I've got a really exciting show for you guys today.

I get to interview Matt Maruka. Matt is a research. Most of you guys know Matt that are listening in,

I'm sure, but this is going to be a really fun interview. He's a researcher, most of you guys know Matt that are listening in, I'm sure, but this is going to be a

really fun interview. He's a researcher, entrepreneur, and educator in the fields of photobiology,

mitochondria, and optimal human health, and the founder of raw optics. And this is a company known

for producing the world's finest blue light blocking glasses.

And we're going to get into what makes those really the go-to for blue light blocking.

Matt also created the light diet.
