Summary

This episode is brought to you by Lumebox and Air Doctor. Our modern world is saturated with blue light exposure, from our devices at home to those in the workplace. With chronic exposure to artificial light and insufficient exposure to sunlight, we often overlook the long-term impact on our circadian rhythms. Today’s guest joins us to raise awareness about blue light exposure and urges us to make simple changes in our daily routines to mitigate the risk of chronic disease. Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Martin Moore-Ede. Dr. Moore-Ede discusses the risks of chronic blue light exposure and its impact on our health. Specifically, he highlights alarming research showing how it disrupts our circadian rhythms and increases breast cancer rates among women with exposure. Dr. Moore-Ede also explores the correlation between light exposure and obesity and sheds light on why these dangers aren’t widely discussed in mainstream media. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede is a highly respected expert in circadian rhythms and light's impact on our health. As a former professor at Harvard Medical School, he has conducted extensive research on the role of light in regulating our sleep-wake cycles and overall well-being. Dr. Moore-Ede's groundbreaking work includes the discovery of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a crucial biological clock in the brain that controls our daily rhythms. He has contributed significantly to our understanding of how blue light, particularly from LED sources, can disrupt our circadian rhythms and lead to various health issues, such as obesity, diabetes, and even breast cancer. With his expertise, Dr. Moore-Ede advocates for adopting better lighting practices, emphasizing the importance of using the right type of light at the right time to optimize employee health and productivity.

0:00.0	Dr. Martin Moore, Ed, welcome to the podcast.
0:04.0	Today you're here to sound the alarm about electric light and how it can become toxic to our bodies when used incorrectly. In fact that you believe based on the
0:16.0	evidence space that's out there that's very strong that you feature in your book
0:19.5	is that our exposure to the wrong light at the wrong time is a big factor in our
0:25.8	epidemic of obesity, chronic fatigue, and most shockingly to me, cancer. So to kick us off here, I'd love to share a pretty mind-blowing
0:35.2	quote from your book that shocked me personally and I think is going to shock a lot of
0:39.0	our audience. And that quote is, women who have never seen electric light rarely get breast cancer.
0:46.4	In contrast, women who are regularly exposed to bright electric light after sunset have breast cancer diagnoses rates that are five or more times
0:58.1	higher than women with no exposure to electric light.
1:04.0	Help us understand why are women living in our modern Western world with all our scientific
1:10.7	advances and technology, why are women living in that world?
1:15.8	Why are they at a higher risk of breast cancer because of how we've abused
1:21.0	our relationship with light.
1:23.0	Well, the body is extremely sensitive to light during the hours of darkness, during the natural
1:29.2	nighttime hours.
1:30.9	We were designed over millions and millions of years of our ancestors and our whole genealogy, more
1:38.9	than 10,000 generations to be dictated by bright daylight during the daytime and only see moonlight and
1:49.2	dimmer much much darker conditions at night. With electricity we've enabled ourselves to work at all hours, play at all
2:00.3	hours. And the problem is that they're light content, and we'll get into it. at all
2:03.2	our light content and we'll get into a little bit but the specific
2:06.2	wavelengths in modern electric lighting particularly LED's
2:10.5	is causing an epidemic of all sorts of diseases including breast cancer.
