when we have fragile polyunsaturated fatty acids in our skin, I think that probably predisposes us to damage from the sun. And there are studies, there are associational observational studies, but there are studies that associate seed oil consumption with increased rates of melanoma. This is all to say that our diet can affect our skin's ability to receive light in a healthy or unhealthy way.
And that if our light environment is not what we've been having historically as humans, that can be challenging for us as well. So This is all to say that taking off your shoes and touching the ground at least once a day for a little bit of time is great. How much time? Who knows? I don't know. How much time do you do it? I do it as much as I can.
This is one of the things I love about surfing and why I hope I can get you in the water in Costa Rica. When you're in the ocean, that is the biggest electron reservoir on the planet Earth. I'm in the ocean for two to two and a half hours. I'm walking on the beach barefoot. I almost don't wear shoes in Costa Rica because I don't have to. I'm touching the ground, not when I'm sleeping, but
uh hours a day hours a day hours a day no i couldn't i couldn't offer a study that says you need to touch 20 minutes a day or this okay i think the grounding literature is still in its infancy um and we could look at the protocols that people have used for joint pain or things like this but i think just start with like some amount of time barefoot and it brings out kind of this playful childlike mindset and then you're outdoors getting that full spectrum light in terms of light
I try to be outdoors as much as I can. And again, it depends. It's worthwhile to me to spend this time indoors with you. And when I'm in Costa Rica, I spend a lot of time outdoors. And on the way here in the car, I had the sunroof open and the window down, even though it was cold outside, because I don't really mind the cold. And I wanted some infrared. Who knows what kind of a dose I'm getting.
But I just wanted to be outdoors as much as possible, both for entraining the circadian rhythm because of the brightness of the full spectrum sunlight, and the potential for those infrared wavelengths. But I think about light a lot like I think about food.
There's whole food, which is a term that's overused today, but there's whole food, which we know of, we know what that is, single ingredient foods that haven't really been processed. And there's also processed foods, which have had those food components taken away and mixed up. And there's whole light, which is sunlight, and then there's processed light.
And unfortunately, most of us spend 90 plus percent of our lives indoors.
And that's probably not great for us as humans either, whether it's lack of UV or lack of infrared or lack of full-spectrum light or changing our circadian rhythm entrainment in a negative way. So being a human used to be really simple, and we've kind of complicated it in a strange way. And I don't...
Advocate for us returning to wearing loincloths, but I think that in 2025 there is some there's value to be had in returning to some awareness of where we've come from as humans both in terms of our food Environment and our light and systemic environment and lifestyle You had mentioned Raw milk.
Raw milk is interesting to me. So milk comes from cows, predominantly in the US, and the majority of milk that we get is pasteurized, meaning it's heated. I grew up drinking pasteurized milk. Because my dad was a traditional doctor, we had a fear of milk fat and saturated fat growing up. So I grew up mostly drinking skim milk, which is horrible. pasteurized, homogenized skim milk.
If we were really getting crazy, we'd have 2%. But my family had a fat phobia growing up. That was kind of the part of the zeitgeist in the 1980s and 90s when I was growing up. And so I never had raw milk until maybe 10 years ago. So raw milk is milk from a cow that hasn't been pasteurized.
And, you know, any of us that were lucky enough to be breastfed had raw human milk when we were an infant, and that is very beneficial for humans. And it is not sterile. Raw milk is teeming with organisms. It's teeming with bacteria from the mother's skin flora from the breast. So raw milk from a cow is kind of the same. It's full of commensal, normal skin flora from a cow from the udders.
And humans have been domesticating animals for 10 to 20,000 years. We've been using raw milk and making it into cheeses or fermented milk, which is known as kefir in Bulgaria and other countries, and yogurts. And these are often associated with great longevity or health benefits.
But it's only really in the last 120 years that we've been doing things that are pasteurized with regard to dairy because we moved off of farms into cities.
And when we moved into cities, those of us from farms still wanted to drink milk, but people were getting sick drinking raw milk that was produced in a city in the early 1900s because the cows were being milked in sub-sanitary conditions and the cows were sick because they were being fed swill, which is the spent grains of alcohol fermentation.
So the introduction of pasteurization certainly was probably a good thing originally in terms of milk because a lot of milk was contaminated because it wasn't produced properly. It wasn't produced in the cleanest conditions. And when you're milking a cow, for humans, we probably should clean the udders and make sure that if the cow poops, that doesn't go into the milk.
And now there is this resurgent interest in getting back to consistently intentionally produced raw milk. Can humans do that? And so when I look at the literature, it's quite fascinating because there actually have been studies done comparing raw milk to pasteurized milk. And there are multiple studies that show that kids who grow up on or off farms
drinking raw milk have lower rates of asthma, eczema, and allergies. That's interesting, right? You might think, oh, it's because they're on the farm, they have the microbial difference from the farm, but even kids who grow up in cities drinking raw milk have lower rates of asthma, eczema, and allergies.
Now, is it that the pasteurized milk is causing the allergies and the eczema, all of those things that I had personally, or the raw milk is protective? It's probably some of both. But I think when I look at the literature around raw milk, and there's a robust literature around raw milk, and raw milk is many immunologic components.
