At least the absolutely braindead level of content passing as insightful on health twitter now gives me an opportunity to remind you all of the massive and key importance of circadian health to your biology. As illustrated by the massively detrimental effects/mechanisms of severe circadian dysfunction I described below (my comment didn’t even close to cover all of the damage even and i mostly just focused on the neurological damage/toxicity and expanded in the reply to my own tweet into some of the cardiovascular risks as well). What does this mean for you? If you care about your health and particularly your brain and heart you need to be treating light environment/circadian health at least as high priority as your diet (and I say this as someone who has spent more time reading about and actually putting into practice dietary and nutritional interventions than 99.9% of people on the planet). It’s truly that important. For some reason despite myself and other friends who understand/get it like @Grimhood and @BowTiedUM posting about this for yrs (Grim for at least 5+yr he was the first mention I saw of this concept on social media, not counting Jack Kruse’s blog where I was first introduced to the idea after being linked from some nootropics/biohacking forum thread) many people I talk to and work with still seem to not quite get it. Even now that this information has become somewhat “mainstream” at least on health twitter ppl still seem skeptical. They treat it as an afterthought. I can say with a high degree of confidence had I not come across this info/that blog post I would not have been able to completely reverse my terminal CHF diagnosis. I had already been eating the most optimal/cleanest diet you can imagine for 2+yrs and it was after combining that with sunlight and restoring circadian health that i began to truly make massive strides towards eventually full recovery. I’m sure Grim could share a similar account of its importance in his recovery from multiple serious/debilitating chronic illnesses. After getting serious about light environment and circadian health not only did my heart begin to actually positively remodel at a pace which astounded some of the top cardiologists in the country but many of the other chronic conditions i dealt with my whole life vanished. Having deeply analyzed my own genome now I can see why; I genuinely have the worst genetics in terms of almost every health outcome imaginable (I’ve genuinely never seen worse in any clients even though nearly none of them are in as objectively a healthy state as me now) as well as in every way related to muscle hypertrophy which is why I have very low tolerance for working with those who make excuses (“it’s just my genetics” when 99% of ppl who are “genetically superior” to me are less healthy and hold no where near the level of muscle tissue. If even I someone who grew up as a sickly skinny kid with horrible genetics who had Crohn’s disease, dealt with serious anxiety and intermittent bouts of serious depression through my childhood (that only got worse after traumatic experiences/PTSD diagnosis as a teenager), was addicted to opioids by age 16, had severe spine injuries from getting hit head on by a driver pulling into wrong lane on highway around the same time, got a severe TBI my first semester of college and couldn’t talk in full sentence for at least 2 weeks and took yrs to fully recover, got Lyme disease soon after returning home with the TBI, got sober dedicated myself to bodybuilding and began to improve my health, and got hit with CHF diagnosis a yr later and told I had a 50% chance of living 5yrs (all before the age I could legally buy nicotine pouches today) could fix all of that and get more jacked than 99.9+% of people even will… what’s stopping you? Well in many cases a lot is (topic for another day) but getting back to the topic of this post a major factor is that I’ve lived a regimented circadian lifestyle for yrs.
