instance of all these other diseases based on what they're seeing for people who naturally had high levels through sun exposure and it didn't um so then people who had high levels through sun exposure yeah so because your your natural level of vitamin d is sort of a direct like meter of how much right but this is a natural level you're not talking about supplementation right right okay so that was why like people who had high levels of d without supplementation have lower rates of all like every disease you can think right

So the hope was that raising everyone's D to those levels would have the same effect.

And it didn't.

Like the New England Journal of Medicine actually did an editorial in 2022 saying, stop prescribing D, it doesn't work.

He didn't look as good as you, right?

Doctors, yeah.

I'm amazed how poor...

What poor health they generally seem to be displaying.

Yeah.

I noticed that when I started going to all the conferences of the sun researchers and they're all in like the basements of hotels and those guys all are as pacey as it gets.

Like, do none of you guys like, you know, practice what you preach?

Yeah, absolutely, 100%.

Yeah, and light, period.

Like, light of all kinds.

Like, it seems like there's this sense in biology that light didn't matter.

It's, like, just ephemeral.

Which, you know, the quantum physicist 100 years ago understood that light and matter are just, like, two halves of the same coin, right?

And that light totally affects the behavior of molecules.

We're made of molecules.

Light's going to matter.
