Daily exposure to natural sunlight, even through clothing, appears to be a simple yet powerful tool to support mitochondrial health and optimize vision:

Stop using sun screen! That's what causes skin cancer, not the sun.

I can't speak for others but my experience confirms this: during this part of the year in the NE, I spend lots of time in the sun wearing only as much clothing as demanded by social decorum (but with NONE of that SPF shit, which is loaded with isobutanes, benzene, and other toxic garbage). And every year I easily read the 20/20 line on the optometrist's chart.

It’s one reason the sun is constantly blocked across the globe.

Infrared wavelength is present 24 hrs a day, it's not dependent on the sunlight per se.

If you sunbathe for a few minutes you can literally see a difference in how you perceive color. This isn't some new idea we've known the sun is good for the health since before we could write as a species.

When I drive, I keep the sunroof and windows open more than most people who live in Florida hardly use the AC, just for this reason.

In 2019, I had to get bifocals, being both near and farsighted. In 2023, I began walking outside twice daily. By my 2024 vision exam, the nearsightedness had completely disappeared. I only now require readers because I work in front of a computer all day.

Yes, but until “they” unblock our full spectrum sunlight, it’s lost. Everyone, look at the light! It’s blue, not warm buttery Feel it, it’s burning hot I can’t be the only one !!

Sunlight also disinfects. Light penitraits surface capalaries, a seven minute exposure is enough to expose the total volume of blood in your bodies circulation. Along with Vit D

@Lulabella0 Now you know why they block our sun. Because its good for us. 💉💉, lab grown folic acid, flouride expansion, bovear, apeel, farmed fish 💉 baths, chemicals from ✈️ spraying, lab grown chocolate, meat, milk etc because they're bad for us. Easy to connect. De pop u la tion.

That was the old sun's rules. The sun now is sick and not what it used to be, nor is the Earth's magnetosphere. Deadly radiation coming in at extreme levels. Do some research before you post

What's even more remarkable, is closing your eyes and looking at the sun through your closed eye lids. Do it for a minute and your eyes adjust.

𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗦𝗞𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗢𝗢 — 𝗦𝗢 𝗜 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟. Andrew Huberman recently told Bill Maher something that sounds wild — that the long-wavelength red and infrared light present in sunlight and old incandescent bulbs actually passes through your body, charges your mitochondria, improves your vision, and helps regulate blood sugar. And that the short-wavelength-dominant LED lights now in most of our homes may be quietly undermining mitochondrial function. His words: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺. I was skeptical too. So I looked it up. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗿-𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗱. Professor Glen Jeffery at University College London — one of the researchers Huberman specifically names — published a study in 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴 in July 2025 confirming that infrared wavelengths from sunlight measurably pass through the human torso, even through clothing, and that just 15 minutes of exposure improved color vision by 16% (blue axis) and 9% (red axis) in participants — measured 24 hours later, even when light was blocked from their eyes during exposure. A separate study from the same lab showed that red light exposure reduced post-meal blood glucose spikes by 27%. These aren't fringe blogs. This is University College London published in Nature's Scientific Reports. The mechanism Huberman describes checks out. Your mitochondria contain water that absorbs long-wavelength red and infrared light — the same reason reds disappear when you go underwater. That absorption drives better ATP production, the energy currency of your cells. The retina has more mitochondria per cell than almost any other tissue in the body, which is why vision improvements show up as such a clean measurable signal. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲. The Biden administration's energy efficiency regulations effectively phased out most incandescent bulbs. The stated reason was energy savings. What was never part of the regulatory conversation — at all — was the growing scientific literature suggesting that the near-infrared wavelengths stripped out of LED lighting may have real biological consequences. Whether that was ignorance or indifference, the result is the same: Americans were nudged by government policy into lighting that the emerging science suggests is metabolically inferior. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁? Huberman himself is practical about this — he has LEDs at home and isn't panicking. Here's what the science actually points to: The primary solution is sunlight. Outdoors sunlight delivers near-infrared at levels no bulb can match. Even 15 minutes outside — clothed — appears sufficient to trigger measurable effects. If you work near a window, that helps too. For indoor lighting, not all LEDs are equal. Look for "full spectrum" or "broad spectrum" LED bulbs that include wavelengths in the 600–900 nm range. "Warm white" LEDs (2700–3000K color temperature) are closer to incandescent output and include more red-spectrum light than the cool blue-dominant bulbs. They're not a perfect substitute for sunlight, but they're meaningfully better than standard cool-white LEDs for this purpose. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: get outside every day. Eat near a window. If you're replacing bulbs, choose warm-spectrum LEDs. And maybe ask why a government that claims to care about public health never thought to ask what stripping infrared out of every American home might do to the people living in them.

SUPPLEMENTING YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT WITH AN INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULB IMPROVES MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION! - A brand new (Jan 23th, 2026) paper published by Glen Jeffery and Edward Barrett demonstrates how adding a 60 W incandescent lamp to participants work desk dramatically improves color contrast, or a proxy for color vision. The intervention here is simply placing an incandescent lightbulb on the desk without direct irradiation on participants. And this is huge: “we have obtained significant balanced improvements in both the protan and tritan range. Previously, exposure to restricted experimental 670 nm resulted in improvements biased strongly in favour of only tritan function. Hence, exposure to full spectrum lighting results in a balanced pattern of improvement in visual performance.” The mechanism seems to be mitochondrial in nature. Short wavelength light, which is dominated in standard LED lighting, reduces mitochondrial function. There’s a reduction in mitochondria ATP production, and therefore a reduced demand for glucose. This intern can increase body weight and serum cytokinin levels. Also, with short wavelength blue light, there is an increase probability of cell aging and death. “It is suggested that this is partly due to 420–450 nm light, dominant in LEDs, being absorbed by porphyrin and the subsequent production of oxygen singlets driving inflammation.” “Conversely, exposure to longer wavelengths is associated with increased mitochondrial membrane potential and increased concentration of mitochondrial complex proteins that have declined with ageing and disease. This in turn is associated with elevated ATP, reduced inflammation and extended average lifespan.“ So, for the love of mitochondria, get long-wavelength light! This can be done in many ways: -sunlight/daylight exposure (does not need to be direct sunlight) -fire light -incandescent light bulbs -LEDs that emit long-wavelength light (yes, LEDs CAN emit red and near-infrared, but most don’t)

Joe Rogan shocks sunlight expert Rowan Jacobsen after revealing red light therapy completely reversed his vision loss: ROGAN: “Red light therapy took away all the problems I was having with my eyesight. They say to wear goggles, but I just keep my eyes open.” JACOBSEN: “Wow. Light medicine is going to be extremely important in the next 10-20 years.” ROGAN: “Gary Brecka explained red light therapy to me, so I bought one of these expensive full body red light beds.” JACOBSEN: “And that actually improved your vision?” ROGAN: “It didn’t just stop the degeneration, but it actually reversed it. I used to need 3X reading glasses just to read my phone. Within about a month, my vision started improving. Two years later, I don’t need reading glasses at all.” JACOBSEN: “There’s real research showing red light improves mitochondrial function. The eyes use more energy than almost any other cells in the human body.” ROGAN: “Why are dermatologists ignoring evidence that different forms of light can heal the human body?” JACOBSEN: “They’ve really only avoided me. I don’t think they’re ready for this type of research.” ROGAN: “There’s already a tremendous amount of data. I don’t understand how someone can call themselves an expert on skin and ignore light therapy.” JACOBSEN: “They 100% should be experts on all this.” ROGAN: “There’s not a lot of scientists so they need to start doing their job. We can’t just rely on old data. They’re doing the whole field a disservice.”
