Permanent Daylight Saving Time MUST BE STOPPED! Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode #90

<p><strong>Permanent Daylight Saving Time MUST BE STOPPED! Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode #90</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Hey Improvement Warriors, Jason Yun here — welcome back to the Improvement Warrior Podcast, Episode 90.</p><p> I’m a former gym owner and food-and-exercise guy who finally saw the light (literally). Since 2018 I’ve been deep in the teachings of Dr. Jack Kruse and circadian biology. </p><p>My core message never changes: your light environment is more important than food or exercise. </p><p>In this episode we’re tackling something urgent and timely — the push for Permanent Daylight Saving Time. Politicians are once again trying to lock us into dark winter mornings forever. I’ll break down exactly why this is a biological disaster, how it wrecks your mitochondria, sleep, hormones, and energy, and what we must do to stop it. </p><p>Grab your blue blockers, get some real sunlight if you can, and let’s go. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Time Stamp and Highlights of the show</strong></p><ul><li>0:00 – 4:30 – Cold open &amp; welcome. Jason introduces Episode 90 and the core thesis: Permanent Daylight Saving Time must be stopped. </li><li>4:30 – 12:00 – Quick recap of past DST episodes (especially Episode 82 “Daylight Saving Time Sucks”) and why the current political push (Sunshine Protection Act) is different and more dangerous. </li><li>12:00 – 22:00 – History of DST, energy-saving myths debunked, and the real biological cost of shifting clocks away from solar time. </li><li>22:00 – 34:00 – Deep dive into circadian biology: morning sunlight as the master zeitgeber, SCN, melatonin, cortisol, and why late winter sunrises under permanent DST create chronic misalignment (effectively permanent social jet lag). </li><li>34:00 – 42:00 – Health consequences: increased accidents, heart attacks, depression, cancer risk gradients across time zones, school performance, and mitochondrial dysfunction. </li><li>42:00 – 52:00 – Outdoor sunlight segment (shirtless, grounded). Live demonstration of proper morning light exposure and why dark mornings destroy the signal. </li><li>52:00 – 60:00 – Practical action steps: what individuals can do right now, how to contact legislators, better alternative (permanent Standard Time), and tie-in to full circadian lifestyle. </li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="improvementwarriorfitness.com/permanentdaylightsavingtime " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Show notes / full page (once live): </a></li><li><strong></strong><a href="improvementwarriorfitness.com/daylightsavingstimesucks " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Previous related episode: Daylight Saving Time Sucks – Episode 82 → </strong></a><strong></strong></li><li><a href="http://www.gloojo.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Glo-Ojo Blueblockers (use code improvementwarrior)</a></li><li><strong></strong><a href="improvementwarriorfitness.com/daylight" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Daylight Computer (use code improvementwarrior)</strong></a><strong></strong></li><li><a href="improvementwarriorfitness.com/midwestern" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Midwest Light Therapy (use code improvementwarrior)</a></li><li><strong></strong><a href="improvementwarriorfitness.com/NL" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Newsletter</strong></a><strong></strong></li><li><a href="improvementwarriorfitness.com/patreon " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Patreon / support: </a></li><li><strong></strong><a href="improvementwarriorfitness.com/discoverycall " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Discovery call: </strong></a><strong></strong></li><li><a href="improvementwarrior.substack.com " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Substack: </a></li></ul><ul><li><strong></strong><a href="https://sleepreviewmag.com/sleep-health/prevailing-attitudes/academies-associations/aasm-against-daylight-saving-time-position-statement/" t
