#32 - Is Modern Lighting Disrupting Your Metabolism? Mitochondria & Photometabolism With Prof Bob Fosbury

Astrophysicist Professor Bob Fosbury joins Dr Sara Pugh to explain photometabolism — the role of light, and especially near-infrared, in mitochondrial health, diabetes, obesity and ageing.

We look at how modern lighting starves us of the infrared our mitochondria evolved to expect, why white LEDs are not the neutral choice they appear to be, and what incandescent bulbs, red light, sunlight, cold exposure and forest bathing actually do at the level of the electron transport chain. Bob takes us through water vibrations as an intermediary in electron transport and gives practical, actionable lifestyle suggestions.
