Yeah wear sunscreen, bro.

Poison yourself, poison the coral reefs.

New evidence shows that a sunscreen ingredient EWG has long urged people to avoid is damaging to coral reefs. A study published [Oct. 20] in the journal Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology found that even a tiny amount of oxybenzone, a common ingredient meant to block harmful ultr...

MAKE YOUR BEDROOM A DARK CAVE

Can the light leaking into your bedroom at night raise your Type 2 diabetes risk more than moderately bad genetics?

This Lancet study (UK Biobank, 84,790 people, 13 million hours of wrist light sensor data) says yes it effing can.

Brighter nights = higher diabetes.

Here are the exact numbers (fully adjusted for age, s*x, lifestyle, income and even polygenic risk score):

Darkest nights (0-50th percentile): baseline risk
50-70th: +29% risk (HR 1.29)
70-90th: +39% risk (HR 1.39)
Brightest nights 10%: +53% risk (HR 1.53)

Your circadian amplitude and phase mattered too. Unnatural light timing = higher diabetes.

The mind blowing part is that night light was independent of genetic risk.

The jump from dark to bright nights was roughly the same risk increase as going from low to moderate genetic risk for T2D.

What this means for you is that you can literally outrun bad genes by keeping your nights dark.

This is one of the main reasons the Blue Light Diet was created over a decade ago.

So here's a general protocol to get this done if you still want to live a modern, big city life......

→ Blackout curtains + night coded light bulbs and red or flux filtered screens after sunset.
→ No blue light 3-4 hours before bed.
→ Phone in redshift mode.

The best night coded lights on the market today are these two brands:

From the paper....."Avoidance of light at night is “a simple and cost-effective recommendation that mitigates risk of diabetes, even in those with high genetic risk.”

My dermatologist bever told me this. She says its the sun causing my skin problems.

But skin damage could be from blue lit screens, blue spiked artificial LED lighting and the windows in my car and house artificially increasing the amount of blue light they let through...

Is my dermatologist stupid or unaware of what really causes skin damage?

It is especially important for the aging woman to take her circadian rhythm more seriously.

More natural, less modern life.

Brighter days, darker nights.

Get some blue blockers. Get the right night lights (see my fav below). Go outside alot.

Make menopause easier again.

NEW PAPER: Exercise, circadian rhythms, and muscle regeneration

(Biggest takeaways from this paper)

Your muscles have their own circadian clock. When it gets out of sync with age, muscle repair slows, satellite cells weaken and sarcopenia (age related muscle loss) accelerates.

Timed exercise (“chrono-exercise”) acts as a powerful secondary zeitgeber that resets those muscle clocks, boosts regeneration, mitochondrial function and protein synthesis.

Morning workouts advance your central clock, lower post wake cortisol, improve sleep quality and amplify anabolic hormones.

Afternoon/evening workouts align with peak muscle strength, gene expression for glycolysis & repair and may enhance hypertrophy even more effectively.

So when your circadian rhythm drifts with age and chronic dark days and bright nights, repair slows and you lose muscle faster. But “chrono-exercise” (timing your workouts right) resets that clock and supercharges regeneration.

Yeah that new drug that doubles the survival time of pancreatic cancer patients is cool and all but did you know that it turns out all kinds of bad health disorders in the Pancreas are caused or accelerated by chronic circadian rhythm disruption.

Chronic dark days and bright nights.

"Additionally, circadian disruption has been linked to pancreatic tumorigenesis, suggesting a potential role of clock genes in early cancer development through modulation of the inflammatory microenvironment and stromal remodeling."

Circadian clock genes play a multifaceted role in pancreatic disease pathophysiology, extending beyond metabolic regulation to influence immune responses, inflammation, and tumorigenesis. Understanding these mechanisms may inform the development of novel circadian-based therapeutic strategies for pa...
