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

And I noticed here in California, people have got lots of wooden houses.

Let's stay away from that.

Got a lot of what?

Huberman Lab

Wooden houses.

To a first approximation, the spectrum of light that you get from an incandescent light bulb is highly similar to solar light, right?

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

So it covers almost the same range.

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

It's a smooth function.

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

We drift gently from short wavelengths into medium wavelengths into long wavelengths.

So in evolution...

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

We were wandering around in sunlight.

We then made the transition to fires producing the same light.

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

And that's quite interesting.

Where do we use fires?

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

We use fires as we move further north, as we come out of Africa, you know, as we move into... I mean, why did people, beyond me having come...

for this interview from Northern Europe in winter.

It's beyond me as to why they ever did that because it's grim.

Huberman Lab

But they had a light source that was very solar-like.

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

And so there was no issue there, I don't think.

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

So it's that really very dramatic change that happens in the early 2000s.
