In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is Robert Soler, who researches, engineers and designs lighting systems that work best for the human brain and body. We get right into the biology of lighting and why LED lighting has been your No. 1 enemy indoors for years.
As a subject-matter expert for NASA's Circadian Lighting System onboard the International Space Station, Robert helped design the first LED light for use there. He has since co-founded a NASA spin-off company to bring the same technology to the general public. He’s now vice president of Human Biological Technologies and Research at Biological Innovation and Optimization Systems (BIOS).
Robert and the BIOS team set out to create better lighting to improve human sleep patterns, cognitive function and general health. Their research on circadian lights has been proven to provide benefits in alertness, jet lag, athlete performance, twilight, seasonality, skin response, photoreception, and more.
BIOS is the only truly circadian lighting developed for humans to mimic natural sunlight. “The whole premise is brighter days, darker nights,” Robert says.
BIOS and my company TrueLight have partnered to launch the first consumer lightbulb that works with your circadian rhythm, not against it. We’ve even captured exciting new technology: “We took out the bad blue and re-appropriated into the good blue region, giving those ‘sky blue’ signals that we need and getting rid of the bad blue in the shorter wavelengths,” Robert says.
Listen on to learn how key photoreceptors drive your circadian rhythms, and how this new bulb’s human compatibility can revolutionize your light and your life.

| 0:08.2 | I was grabbing a danger coffee with my friend the other day and out of the blue he said, |
| 0:11.8 | Dave, what do you do for your skin? |
| 0:14.0 | I left it first because it's not like I have a complex skin care routine. |
| 0:17.8 | But I do know that my skin is the largest organ in my body and it is the first line of |
| 0:23.2 | defense against the world and it's really permeable if you don't take care of it. |
| 0:27.4 | So I do take care of my skin and one of the few things that I found that works noticeably |
| 0:31.2 | is timelines skin health line. |
| 0:34.2 | That's because timeline uses a fascinating new ingredient that invented called myto purer |
| 0:39.0 | that you've heard about on the show. |
| 0:41.2 | It's clinically improving to support your cell's ability to make energy so you have healthier, |
| 0:46.5 | younger looking skin, which takes energy. |
| 0:49.0 | One of the things that makes timelines stand out to me is that there are lots of rigorous, |
| 0:53.0 | clinical trials showing that it works systemically and it works specifically on your skin. |
| 0:58.4 | It's made a big difference in how my skin looks and feels. |
| 1:01.2 | So pay attention to your skin because it's an organ and you want all your organs to work |
| 1:05.2 | right. |

| 1:23.4 | This is actually circadian biology in deployment and it's really cool to be able to interview |
