Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Overall, statistically, we saw less of an effect.

Some people, my youngest son responded very, very strongly.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

And at the time, I think he was about...

Huberman Lab

I think he was about 25.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

So you have to look at a population level to get that.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

But okay, look, this all makes sense.

Huberman Lab

Mitochondrial theory of aging means that we should have more room to improve mitochondria in the elderly than the young.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

But we all age at different rates.

Huberman Lab

One of the biggest problems about doing experiments on humans as opposed to mice is we all do radically different things.

Some take exercise, some have very good diets, some have poor diets.

Huberman Lab

And mice sitting in our animal house eating the same food, they're very, very similar to one another, everything is the same.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

So we have to accept that noise.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

But generally, when your mitochondria are in a poor state, which is consistent with ageing,

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Yes, we've got more room to lift them up and improve their function.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Very clear.

Huberman Lab

Again, same in flies, mice, and humans.

Your biggest effect is always in the morning.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

And it's always generally just before perceived sunrise up until about 11 o'clock.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

So, and it's very, very clear.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

But let's look at the backdrop to this.
