He also claims there\u2019s no evidence that LED lights save the energy they are supposed to.\n \nWith the threat of a full ban on healthy light bulbs looming, we need to act fast. Tune in to learn the most important thing we can do each day to protect ourselves.\n \nQuotes\n\u201cMany, many aspects of sunlight are curative, the infrared and the violet and many many other aspects are green. But in the context of circadian rhythms, it synchronizes robustly with our circadian clock and is associated with longevity and not just living longer but living healthier longer, which is what we all hope for.\u201d (12:46 | Dr. Moore-Ede)\n\u201cNight is a time for not only sleep but for the rest/restorative features of the body. So, melatonin is something that helps trigger restorative actions of the body. Growth hormone coming out in the evening hours, for example, it comes out early in the sleep period. All those systems in the body are now repairing the cells.\u201d (21:27 | Dr. Moore-Ede)\n\u201cWe know, for example, women who don\u2019t see electric light rarely get breast cancer. It was very rare to see these before Edison invented the light bulb. We know that women who are in a non-electrified part of the world, and there are quite a few million people in that state, don\u2019t get breast cancer or rarely get it. And we also know that women who are blind from an early age rarely get breast cancer.\u201d (25:55 | Dr. Moore-Ede) \n\u201cWe\u2019re contributing to the epidemics of psychiatric illness and anxiety, depression, PTSD. We\u2019re contributing to the epidemics of cancer\u2026 in the name of energy conservation and climate change and being positive in this arena, without realizing the harm done by, really, a false metric.\u201d (44:10 | Dr. Moore-Ede) \n \nLinks\nConnect with Dr. Martin Moore-Ede:https://thelightdoctor.com/\nhttps://circadianlight.org/\nSubstack: lightdoctormartinmooreede.substack.com\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-ede-80630a12/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/circadianlightdoctor/\nTwitter (X): https://twitter.com/DrMooreEde/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drmartinmoore-ede1539\nGoogle Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=lFyCIC0AAAAJandhl=en\n \nBon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off\nhttps://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses\n**If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense**\nTo receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day and join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb\nTo find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org\nTo see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com\nFollow on Instagram and Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve\nTwitter: @quantumhealthtv\n \n \nPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/e09aad95-7168-4061-a25c-32b3ed43f989/QBC-Cover-Art-2025-Aug-07-v1.jpg"}
