So there could be something there to that, right?

Getting that infrared light coming through the window, even though it's reduced, you're still getting some.

So we don't know exactly why, but clearly there's something to that light that they're getting through a window that is benefiting their health outcomes in a hospital.

So yeah, really interesting stuff.

And this also isn't,

new, right?

It's new to us who are so, you know, if it's not in the literature, it's not true, but it's not new.

You know, like we have, you know, before, back before the Flexner report, hospitals across the United States had sunbeds.

So they literally brought patients outside to lay out in the sun and they had amazing outcomes.

And, you know, we're just now catching on to this.

You know, you had you had Roger Schwartz on the podcast out in Loma Linda, California, and he's bringing his patients outside getting sunlight and he's seeing improvements in their health.

And we have the literature now to back it up.

But, you know, this is also something we've known for a really long time and doctors have known for a really long time and doctors utilize the sun and we see better outcomes with it.

So

Yeah, it's really, really fascinating stuff.

Yeah, so this nutrient is melatonin.

Most people know about melatonin and they think of melatonin as simply a sleep-inducing molecule.

So a molecule that makes us fall asleep, right?

At night, our pineal gland in our brain produces melatonin in the absence of light.

So when the sun goes down, when the sun sets, your body, your eyes receive that signal that the light is being reduced.
