Save this for the next time you’re choosing blue blockers. 👓

The color matters. The timing matters.

And share this with someone who thinks all blue blockers are the same.

( NOTE: Clear lenses don’t block the right frequencies of blue coming from artificial lights. These are the lenses used in the centralized medical research that show blue blockers don’t work. Good reminder to not believe everything coming from “mainstream” medicine. 😉 )

Many people who understand phototherapy are still overlooking one of the biggest pieces.

The light you add matters… but so does the light you’re exposed to every day.

Watch until the end and tell me what questions you have about blue blockers. 👇

They assume that after enough talks, enough stages, and enough experience... the fear disappears.

For me, it hasn’t.

Last night, I was invited to join another doctors’ panel next week. This one will be live, on stage, in front of more than 4,000 people.

A few years ago, I couldn’t have imagined saying yes to something like this.

Not because I didn’t have something to say... but because public speaking genuinely terrified me.

The interesting part is that it still does.

Before every talk, I still feel the nerves. I still question myself. I still wonder if I’m the right person to be standing there.

But I’ve learned that feeling uncomfortable doesn’t always mean you’re on the wrong path.

Sometimes it’s simply a sign you’re growing.

I didn’t go from terrified to confident overnight. It started with one small Zoom. Then another. Then a small room. Then a bigger audience. Every time I said yes, I stretched just a little further.

It never became easy.

It just became familiar enough to take the next step.

And I certainly didn’t do it alone.

The encouragement, belief, and support of people who saw more in me than I could see in myself made all the difference.

Looking back, I’ve realized this has been true in every area of my life.

Leaving medicine.
Questioning everything I thought I knew about health.
Building a new business.
Getting on stages.

None of it started with confidence.

It started with a willingness to keep saying yes, even while I was scared.

That’s what growth really is, isn’t it?

Not waiting until fear disappears...
But becoming someone who no longer lets fear decide.

What area of your life is asking you to grow right now?

✈️ Many of us love to travel, me included!

🌎 We get to visit new places, experience different cultures, connect with family & friends & more all of which are amazing reasons travel.

🎱 There are some drawbacks however, when it comes to our health such as:

1. ⏰ TIME ZONE changes disrupt circadian rhythms which is integral for optimal cellular function.
2. 💡ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING in airports & planes disrupt metabolism, hormone balance, & sleep cycles to name a few.
3. 📱nnEMF’s are concentrated in airports & in particular in airplanes like being in a microwave oven.
4. 🛫FLYING disconnects us from the earth’s natural frequencies & electron pool necessary to recharge our energy supply.
5. 🌈 INDOOR TIME deprives us of natural light especially RED & INFRARED which are healing frequencies.
6. 🍟PROCESSED/ NON- ORGANIC FOODS are the only options offered.
7. 💧BOTTLED WATER contains microplastics & fluoride.

📋This isn’t a comprehensive list or explanation but gives an idea of what’s going on.

✅ Here are some things I do to support my health while and around travelling:

Before you stop exercising, hear me out.

Exercise is one of the most powerful signals you can give your body. But it’s a stress and the environment you’re in determines how your cells respond to that stress.

Most people think a workout is a workout.

That if you walk into a gym, lift weights, and push yourself, you are automatically creating health.

But your body doesn’t respond to exercise in isolation.

Exercise is a stress.

When you train, you increase the demand for oxygen and energy production inside your cells.

That stress is the signal for adaptation but your cells need the resources to meet that demand.

This is where light comes in.

When you exercise outdoors in natural sunlight, you’re not only moving your body.
You’re also giving your cells the wavelengths of light they evolved with.

The red and infrared wavelengths of sunlight interact with components of the electron transport chain (ETC), helping improve electron flow and energy production.

This supports mitochondrial efficiency, increases ATP production, improves redox balance, and allows oxygen to be utilized at the end of the ETC where metabolic water is created.

Now compare that to the modern gym.
The same workout…

But indoors under LED lighting.

Surrounded by screens, WiFi, Bluetooth, and artificial light that is missing the red and infrared wavelengths found in natural sunlight.

Modern windows also filter many of these wavelengths out.

So now you’ve increased the demand on your cells through exercise, while changing the environmental signals and resources available to support that energy production.

The blue-heavy light environment without the balancing red and infrared wavelengths can negatively influence mitochondrial function and electron transport efficiency.

Same workout.
Same effort.
Different cellular environment.

This was one of the biggest paradigm shifts for me after 30 years in medicine.

Health isn’t just about what you do. See COMMENTS for the rest 👇

📌 5 Things I No Longer Do as a Medical Doctor:

1. Medicate fevers unnecessarily
Fever is a natural healing response NOT something to suppress automatically. I now support the body’s wisdom instead of interfering with it.

2. Skip breakfast & eat late at night
🕒 Breakfast signals the start of the day.
🌙 An empty stomach before bed tells the body it’s nighttime.
These cues are essential for your circadian rhythm and cellular repair. I now eat during daylight hours to give my body the right signals.

3. Rely on caffeine for “energy”
Caffeine doesn’t give energy, it borrows it. It triggers a stress response, depletes reserves, and impairs brain function.
(Ref: Caffeine Blues by Stephen Cherniske, PhD)
Now I support natural energy by:
☀️ Morning sunlight
🌍 Grounding daily
❄️ Cold exposure
💡 Non-transdermal light therapy patches

4. Blindly trust all medical research
Much of it is:
💰 Funded by biased sources
🧪 Conducted in labs (in vitro), not real life (in vivo)
📋 Turned into rigid protocols that ignore individuality
Now, I approach research with critical thinking…..always considering context, methods & funding.

5. View symptoms as signs of a broken body
Symptoms are NOT failures they are adaptations.
When the body shows signs of distress, the solution isn’t to suppress, it’s to ask:
What in the environment needs to change?

BONUS:
🧬 I no longer treat the body as just a biochemical machine.
We are electromagnetic beings, powered by water & charged by sunlight.

Your body is intelligent. Start listening.

I got so many questions after my last reel…

“But how do I build a tan if I burn?”
“What if I have skin issues?”
“How do I do this safely?”

The answer is not what most people think. ☀️

There was a time when I thought vacations were something you worked all year for.

You worked hard, took a week or two off, then came home and started counting the days until the next one.

I didn’t even know there was another way to live.

It wasn’t until I left medicine and started surrounding myself with people who thought differently that my perspective began to change. People who dreamed bigger. People who believed they could create a life on their own terms. A life they didn’t need to escape from.

At first, I thought that was for other people.
Not me.

But the more I learned, the more I realized that every life starts with a thought. A belief. An idea that something more is possible.
If you can’t see it, you’ll never create it.

Today I’m standing in the crystal-clear waters of Greece, and while I’m grateful for this trip, what I’m most grateful for is that I’m building a life that feels aligned with who I am.

A life with more freedom.
More presence.
More choice.

The life you have today was created by the thoughts you believed yesterday.

So don’t think small.

Be open to possibilities you can’t even imagine yet.

You never know where they might take you.

I’m sitting on a beach in Greece intentionally getting a tan.

Not because I want darker skin.

Because of what a tan actually represents.

Listen to this before you judge. ☀️
