And if you look at a lot of the concepts in building biology that we actually wove into our previous home in Washington and this new home,

So for example, in our home, every floor is lined underneath the floor with copper conductive surface that makes it so that you're grounding when you're, say, on a third floor bedroom, the same as you would be if you were outside barefoot.

that we've just finished building about six months ago in Idaho, a lot of it involves taking what our ancestors would have experienced and replicating that in a modern environment.

Another example would be we know that the sun, as it goes through the day, exposes us to the full spectrum of light that is ideal for good sleep, for what we'd call good circadian rhythmicity.

So let's take flooring, for example.

We know that the earth, touching the surface of the planet, is really good for you.

Have you heard of grounding or roofing, for example?

So every time lightning strikes the surface of the planet or solar radiation bombards the planet, it collects negative ions, which when our skin comes in contact with the surface of the planet, we absorb and it helps restore the electrical potential of our body.

In an ideal scenario, even though this is not doable for a lot of people, I realize, you would see some bright red light in the morning simulating sunrise.

The red light would begin to diminish and be replaced by blue light as the day progresses.

It almost like recharges our body's battery.

And then as evening approaches, blue light and that full spectrum of light begins to diminish and be replaced by more red light, almost like a bright light sandwich.

And when we are indoors on non-conductive surfaces, in big built-up rubber-soled shoes, living in a modern home environment,

we're often disconnected from absorbing that electricity and also absorbing the low level, what's called a pulsed electromagnetic field that the earth creates, which is also highly anti-inflammatory.

So red light to full spectrum light back to red light.

Now, in our home, we have bulbs in each room of the house that will go to sunrise when you flip them on once.

And then if you flip them off and flip them on again, they'll do full spectrum daytime sunlight.

So for example, in our home, every floor is lined underneath the floor with copper conductive surface that makes it so that you're grounding when you're say on a third floor bedroom, the same as you would be if you were outside barefoot.

And then if you flip them off and flip them on again, they go to evening.

So throughout the day, depending on what time of day it is, even if we're not outdoors all day, we can use these bulbs.
