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

We're doing something more powerful.

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

That's a problem around this whole industry.

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

We're doing powerful things.

Huberman Lab

Now-

Huberman Lab

Laser light does not scatter evenly when it hits tissue.

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

It forms something called caustics.

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

And caustics are the sorts of things you see sometimes on a shallow lake where it's rippling and you get bright spots and you get dark spots.

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

Those bright spots are what you get in laser light, these caustics, so the energies tripling or quadrupling in certain areas.

Huberman Lab

So, I mean, I didn't know what a caustic was until I started to talk to physicists.

Huberman Lab

Never, reiterate on you, never ever use a laser unless there is a profound medical reason for doing so.

And certainly, myopia, which is going to be, it's a ticking time bomb.

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

No current politician is particularly concerned because it's going to be another person's problem in the future.

Huberman Lab

So, windows in classes, very important.

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

And not tinted windows.

Huberman Lab

Not tinted windows.

Huberman Lab

We're currently talking about putting a few incandescent lights in.

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

Schools generally are stretched for money.

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

And their first reaction is, this is going to cost us a lot more.

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

Well, the answer actually is put a dimmer switch on the incandescent light bulb.

Huberman Lab

Even though it appears dim to you, it's still producing loads of infrared light because it's getting warm.
