Send us a textThe biophysics of life, exploring how light & energy shape biology, with biophysicist Dr. Nirosha Murugan.Episode Summary: Dr. Murugan discusses the role of biophysics in biology, focusing on how light, particularly biophotons emitted by cells, influences processes like wound healing, neural activity, and cancer detection; how microtubules may act as biological fiber optics, the impact of modern light environments on health; her work inducing limb regeneration in frogs using silk hydrogels and growth factors; cancer as an energetic dysfunction; potential of non-invasive photonic diagnostics; the need for new tools to study these phenomena.About the guest: Nirosha Murugan, PhD is a biophysicist and assistant professor at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. Her lab investigates the biophysics of life.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Key Conversation Points:Cells emit biophotons, ultra-weak light tied to metabolism, which may carry information for processes like immune response and neural communication.Microtubules might function as biological fiber optics, potentially guiding light within cells for signaling purposes.Red and near-infrared light can accelerate wound healing and reduce inflammation, likely by modulating mitochondrial activity.Cancer cells emit distinct photonic signatures, which could enable non-invasive diagnostics by detecting light differences from healthy tissues.Modern light environments, unlike natural sunlight, may subtly affect health by altering biological responses to electromagnetic signals.Biological systems act as metamaterials, patterning energy flow in ways that constrain and shape molecular and behavioral outcomes.Related episode:M&M 221: Regenerative Energy & the Light Inside You | Jack Kruse*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

The latest skincare trend online you may have seen is the ‘caveman' method, which essentially involves people cutting out all skincare products and entirely even forgoing washing their face with water for a period to get better skin, but should you be doing it, or is it actually causing more harm to your skin?Joining Kieran to discuss is Professor Nikki Ralph, Consultant Dermatologist in the Institute of Dermatologists and Photobiology.

Send us a textShort Summary: A mind-bending dive into evolutionary biology and health through a biophysicist's lens, with Dr. Jack Kruse delivering provocative insights about biology, medicine, and health.About the guest: Jack Kruse, MD, is a neurosurgeon known for integrating biophysics into medicine. He challenges conventional biochemistry with his “leptin prescription” and decentralized health approach.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Jack Kruse joins host Nick Jikomes to explore the Great Oxygenation Event's role in shaping life, linking it to modern health via biophysics over biochemistry. They discuss oxygen's impact on metabolism, the significance of deuterium-depleted water, and sunlight's influence on the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Kruse shares his dramatic weight loss journey using sunlight and cold therapy, critiques modern tech-driven obesity, and unveils a controversial history of SV40 in vaccines, tying it to cancer spikes.Key Takeaways:The Great Oxygenation Event (2.1-2.4 billion years ago) drove life's shift to oxygen-based metabolism, with cyanobacteria as key players.Kruse argues biophysics, not biochemistry, explains evolution, spotlighting light as life's fundamental driver.Deuterium-depleted water is important for enabling our cells and mitochondria to use energy from the TCA cycle without “shocking” the body.Sunlight exposure boosts nitric oxide, reducing food needs via the leptin pathway, challenging diet norms.Kruse lost 133 pounds in 11 months using sunlight and cold therapy, inspiring his “leptin prescription.”He links obesity to indoor tech lifestyles, disrupting heme proteins and mitochondrial function.SV40, a virus in 1950s polio vaccines, may connect to cancer rises, a story Kruse says was buried by centralized science.Related episode:M&M #196: Vaccine Contamination & Fiat Science Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

Dr. Stacey Harmer is a Professor of Plant Biology in the College of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Davis. Stacey studies different biological rhythms and the circadian clocks within organisms that create and maintain those rhythms. Circadian clocks can be found in various organisms, from bacteria to people. In particular, Stacey is interested in understanding why plants have circadian clocks, how these clocks work in plants, and what aspects of physiology and development these clocks control. Stacey likes to take her mind off research when she's not in the lab by doing yoga and road biking. She and her husband also enjoy cooking and eating their delicious kitchen creations. She received her BA in Biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley and was awarded her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of California, San Francisco. Afterwards, Stacey conducted postdoctoral research at the Scripps Research Institute in La Joya before joining the faculty at UC, Davis where she has been since 2002. She is the recipient of the American Society of Photobiology's New Investigator Award and was selected as a Chancellor's Fellow at UC Davis. Stacey is with us today to share her exciting experiences in life and science.

I'm thrilled to sit down again with my longtime friend Matt Maruca, founder of Ra Optics (visit lukestorey.com/raoptics and use code LUKE for 10% off your order) and one of the world's leading experts when it comes to understanding how light impacts human health.  After suffering from poor health himself in high school, he skipped the standard path of higher education and started his own business producing blue light blocking glasses. His journey of self-education led him to become a passionate student and teacher of Photobiology – the science of how light and electromagnetic fields affect biology. Matt knows more about optimizing light for health than anyone I know.  We geek out on the latest research, chat about our travels and experiences, and discuss the inner cultivation of spiritual light in addition to environmental light hygiene. We also talk about actionable tips for improving sleep, boosting energy, supporting circadian rhythms, and using proper light exposure techniques and tech tools like blue light glasses. Matt also shares his evolving perspective after years on the road, integrating both science and spirituality in his personal philosophy and business. You don't want to miss it.

Are your old patterns keeping you from living the life you want? In this episode of The Evolving Wellness podcast, I chat with Matt Maruca about how you can release yourself from old patterns, so you can create new ones for the life you want to live. Most of us live in a state of problem consciousness where we aren't in alignment with the now. When you focus on the now, these problems tend to evaporate and are replaced with the possibilities you have in this life, instead.  Matt also shares how fear holds many of us back in life and how it did so for him as well. Once you learn how to let go of it, that's when you can restore your physiological and mental health back to a balanced state.    Matt Maruca is a student, educator, and entrepreneur in the field of Photobiology, the study of how light affects human health. He is the founder of Ra Optics, which develops the world's highest quality blue light protection glasses. What we discuss: 00:50: About Matt 14:00: How to get rid of a problem consciousness? 21:20: What do we know about the electromagnetic properties of our bodies? 31:52: How did Matt accomplish everything he did at such a young age? 35:54: How important is it to change your frequency to change your patterns? 40:45: Why would you wait to live the life you want? 48:43: What's most interesting to Matt these days? 54:15: How does living from a place of fear affect your life? 56:00: Which centers are you operating in life from? 1:03:05: Has Matt tried integrating these things into his business? 01:21:54: How do Ray Optics help with rebalancing our energy? 01:27:20: How does stress affect our health?

Mr. Darius Dinshah, author of Let There Be Light joins Dr. Elaina George for this week’s episode of Living in the Solution to discuss Spectro-Chrome Color Therapy, a modality that has been present since 1897. It uses the electromagnetic energy from visible light to restore cellular balance and support health. Spectro-Chrome and light therapies are garnering renewed interest as potentially beneficial in treating patients with COVID-19. As such, one  study recently published in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology on May 1, 2020 highlights this potentiality and is available for review on the National Center for Biotechnology Information under the heading, “Light as a potential treatment for pandemic coronavirus infections: A perspective.” Dinshah Health Society – Spectro-Chrome System, is the preeminent spectrum-based health system. Spectro-Chrome therapy is a safe, natural, inexpensive home-use medical system that does not rely on any drugs or chemicals, with their uncertain side effects. This system has been in use since 1920, and was used in a major medical center in Philadelphia, PA for many years.This system utilizes safe, specific colored light for particular problems with a simple, low-powered lamp and color filters.

Dr. Alexander Wunsch is one of the world’s foremost experts on everything light. If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you know how passionate I am about biohacking my environment, and light is a big part of that, and it was a dream of mine to have Dr. Wunsch on the show to help me clear some things up. Because there is a lot of conflicting information out there about whether you should avoid sunlight and the risks of living indoors, where we’re bombarded with artificial light. So, Dr. Wunsch is here to clear up any misconceptions and teach us what we need to know to optimize our health and the health of our families. This information is also particularly pertinent to maintaining your physical, mental, and spiritual wellness during this period of time when people all around the world are spending more time at home than usual, exposing themselves to even less natural light and even more toxic light. After listening to this episode, you will understand why our light environment is just as important as our air, food, and water — and you are going to look at your blue-blocking glasses (or the people you have made fun of for wearing blue-blocking glasses) in a whole new light. 06:00 — What is photobiology? Photobiology is the science of light acting on biological organisms Its critical role in human healing and health Our circadian rhythm: how to manage it and why it matters Sunlight played a paramount role in the development of life, starting 3.5 billion years ago “Junk light”   10:45 — The different types of lighting we are exposed to & how they affect us The color spectrum of daylight Vs. the color spectrum from artificial lights Why incandescent bulbs weren’t as bad as LED or fluorescent lights How blue light exposure wrecks our eyes, brains, and sleep Why short wavelengths of light have the greatest effect on our cellular metabolism The more ultraviolet radiation in the environment, the more stress put on your cells Why it matters that your skin is also susceptible to blue light Why blue-blocking glasses are critical at night As soon as the body detects more blue light in its environment, it starts producing more stress hormones — and this is perfect in nature but horribly damaging in our artificial environments full of blue light Were blue lights put into school and work environments to increase productivity? And did they know about the harmful effects?   20:37 — Did offices, schools, factories, hospitals, and big-box stores adopt artificial blue lights knowing about their harmful effects? Or did they just want to save money? “Light sells” The role of light in our industrial and economic history, going back to the first Industrial Revolution Trading short-term productivity for long-term harm It’s hard to tell just how damaging our artificial environments are because we don’t have any good control groups anymore The parallel development of light bulbs and electricity   35:40 — The legislation that made selling incandescent bulbs illegal (to save energy) & the legislation that was passed to make it legal again Did we actually need to ban incandescent bulbs for the environment? Were they unsustainable? What the healthiest lightbulbs on the market are and how to find them Incandescent Edison Light Bulbs Incandescent (Non -LED) Mini Christmas Lights Red Light Incandescent Bulbs   47:30 — A deep dive into the negative biological effects of blue light The biological history of melatonin As long as we see the colors of the sunset (clear color discrimination), we are in an environment that is too bright for our bodies to repair themselves Melatonin’s role as a signaling molecule The most surprising and common sources of blue light in our day-to-day environments After we’ve been exposed to blue light, how long does it affect our biology? How long do we have to be exposed to blue light before it disrupts our biology? What you can do to mimic natural light in your home The ridiculous degree to which our indoor lights are brighter than the moon   01:06:50 — Why LED and fluorescent lights suck so bad & the difference between the two Our body experiences discomfort if the light environment is different from what it expects as a result of evolution How does flickering light affect us? How flicker reduces productivity by a startling amount How toxic lighting negatively impacts your eyes Why dark mode is extremely beneficial The Kindle Oasis Reader allows you to change the color temperature of the screen BLUblox glasses Programs you can install on your computer and phone to make them less damaging Iris computer blue-blocking software It’s better to have a good e-reader in dark mode than to read a book in artificial light The Irlen Institute   01:25:40 — Why we need a direct connection to outside The more daylight you can get, the better How windows and glasses ruin sunlight and turn it into junk light Why Dr. Wunsch prefers controlled exposure to sunlight over things like cracking your car window open The benefits of sungazing at dusk and dawn   01:36:35 — The mercury photons coming from fluorescent bulbs Dr. Wunsch’s hypothesis about what they’re doing to our bodies   01:42:00 — The hierarchy of indoor lighting: is any of it not junk? The worst is cold light — fluorescent and LED — especially when they have a high color temperature LEDs can vary quite a bit Incandescent is better Running incandescent bulbs on a direct current will also eliminate flicker Dr. Wunsch’s #1 artificial lighting is a 12V halogen lamp running off of direct current   More about this episode.

Todays guest on the show is a brilliant young intelligent biohacker and researcher on how light affects our ability to lose weight, increase performance gains, optimize our mitochondria and our longevity! "Everyone knows that using a phone before bed is bad for our sleep. But few know that it doesn't end with phones.  Late-night computer use, TV, and even exposure to any bright lighting can leave us tossing, turning, and feeling under-rested the next day." Why? "When we are exposed to man-made light at night, it signals to our brain that it is daytime, so our brain stops secreting melatonin, our sleep and anti-aging molecule, preventing us from entering a maximally regenerative sleep state."   "We may sleep, but we will not fall asleep as quickly and easily as we can, nor sleep as deeply and restfully as we can.  This is because blue light frequencies, which are the main component of all modern screen lighting and light bulbs, are the same frequencies found in sunlight that naturally set our internal clock, which determines whether we should be awake or sleeping and repairing."

Angela is in conversation with Matt Maruca Founder of Ra Optics and expert in the field of photobiology. When he was younger he struggled with many debilitating issues and in a quest to understand how to fix himself he began to research mitochondria and the vital role they play in processing food and making energy controlled by light. They discuss the circadian rhythm and how we are impacting on it through the structure of the average day and our exposure, or lack of it to the sun. We are beginning to understand more about how light and circadian rhythms affect and drive the vital processes of every human body. In understanding the function of natural light for our bodies it is possible to understand the changes that need to be made to bring back balance and repair the mechanisms within the body. This fascinating episode will help anyone understand better the importance of both your inner light and sunlight on your level of health.    KEY TAKEAWAYS We are all just a collection of cells. The water in our cells is structured in a certain way and infrared light plays a role in this structuring. The sun and fire are the most obvious sources of light in our world. Where ever you are located in the world you can bio-hack it and try to do as much work as possible away from the office and in the light from the sun. Get as much time outdoors during the day as possible even if it is cloudy it will be beneficial to your mood. You can’t mimic the sun; it has a complete spectrum and powers many processes for our bodies so it’s vital to get outside. Human migration away from the tropics can be a big issue if the body is not able to adapt to differing hours of sunlight but making use of fire, saunas and red panel lights can help people. We are living in an age of massive circadian disruption because artificial light late at night is delaying the secretion of melatonin, this, in turn, delays circadian phase shifts. We are now missing the key hours of morning light exposure which drive so many of our life processes. Implementing an early morning meditation can be beneficial and between 3 and 5 am is the ideal time. We all have some level of light in our bodies and we can channel it effectively to help mend other areas. The human brain is unique because it requires so much DHA ,it is this that makes our brains so much more advanced than other animals. The ultimate difference between the light diet and other diets is that most diets are focused on addressing the fuel that we need for our cellular engines. People are trying to make fixes through a premium diet but the mechanism that requires repair in humans is light and our circadian rhythm We need to use light to fix the mitochondria and the respiratory proteins, once we live back in accordance with our circadian rhythms we will have fixed the mechanism. Optimise your health; Embrace the benefits of the sun - do this in stages building up your exposure. Avoid artificial light - especially blue light by wearing blue-blocking glasses. Focus on the inner light - cultivate your inner light through the right relationships, the right meditation and the right tribe. Stay curious about yourself and everything in the world.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We can strengthen our bodies in the ocean and in the sun’ ‘When your inner light goes you are no longer able to see the light outside’ ‘I don’t eat meals or food after 5 pm if I haven’t eaten by that time I just fast and this means I can sleep well’ ‘Cooling of our surfaces does allow our bodies  to assimilate light better’ ‘Everywhere on earth has the same amount of light it’s just the distribution that differs’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series Ra Optics website   ABOUT THE GUEST Matt Maruca Matt Maruca is a researcher, teacher, and entrepreneur in the field of Photobiology, the study of how light affects human health.
