Dr Martin Moore-Ede | Why Your Health Hinges on the Light You See.
+ + +
The light we see is as crucial as the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. Former Harvard Medical School professor and 40-year leading expert in circadian clocks and human health, Dr. Moore-Ede speaks on why our health hinges on getting the right sort of light at the right time. In this episode, he reveals the dangers of modern LED lighting, which often emits bright but unhealthy “junk light.” Just as junk food wreaks havoc on our body, junk light disrupts our circadian rhythms, suppresses melatonin, and contributes to chronic diseases. We cover: 💤 The Health Risks of LED Lighting: disrupts circadian rhythms, suppresses melatonin, and contributes to chronic diseases 💡 Junk Light and Lumens – how modern lighting regulations prioritise energy efficiency over human health 🕒 Circadian Clocks and Longevity: light as essential for disease prevention and healing 👓 Rise of Myopia in Children: indoor living and reduced exposure to natural light are fueling skyrocketing rates of myopia 🌈 Blue light blocking glasses – do you have the right sort? 🛠️ Practical Solutions for Healthier Lighting: simple changes you can make in your home and your life Backed by decades of evidence, Dr Martin Moore-Ede shares the science behind why we must prioritise light in our health, and how to optimise our exposure for immediate benefits, and a longer, healthier life.

Dr. Jeffery’s research reveals that LEDs emit a harmful blue light spike at 420-450 nanometers that disrupts mitochondrial performance, leading to reduced cellular energy production and increased inflammation. His studies on mice exposed to blue light showed accelerated aging, organ damage, weight gain, and metabolic dysfunction – findings that correlate with NASA’s observations of astronauts developing pre-diabetes and premature aging on the International Space Station under constant LED lighting. Conversely, Dr. Jeffery demonstrates how red light therapy at specific wavelengths (670-850 nanometers) can enhance mitochondrial function, improve glucose control, increase grip strength, and provide systemic health benefits. The interview covers practical solutions for protecting against blue light exposure, including the use of incandescent bulbs as supplemental lighting, the importance of natural sunlight exposure, and emerging research showing that beneficial red light can penetrate through the body to reach mitochondria throughout the system, offering hope for counteracting the negative effects of our LED-dominated built environment.
Add what You think…
I, myself, I have constant problem. the result of brain surgery a few years ago…
And professor still does not have his own website ;~)
