With chronic exposure to artificial light and insufficient exposure to sunlight, we often overlook the long-term impact on our circadian rhythms. Today’s guest joins us to raise awareness about blue light exposure and urges us to make simple changes in our daily routines to mitigate the risk of chronic disease. Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Martin Moore-Ede. Dr. Moore-Ede discusses the risks of chronic blue light exposure and its impact on our health. Specifically, he highlights alarming research showing how it disrupts our circadian rhythms and increases breast cancer rates among women with exposure. Dr. Moore-Ede also explores the correlation between light exposure and obesity and sheds light on why these dangers aren’t widely discussed in mainstream media. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede is a highly respected expert in circadian rhythms and light's impact on our health. As a former professor at Harvard Medical School, he has conducted extensive research on the role of light in regulating our sleep-wake cycles and overall well-being. Dr. Moore-Ede's groundbreaking work includes the discovery of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a crucial biological clock in the brain that controls our daily rhythms. He has contributed significantly to our understanding of how blue light, particularly from LED sources, can disrupt our circadian rhythms and lead to various health issues, such as obesity, diabetes, and even breast cancer. With his expertise, Dr. Moore-Ede advocates for adopting better lighting practices, emphasizing the importance of using the right type of light at the right time to optimize employee health and productivity.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Moore-Ede (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The impact of electric light on the risk of breast cancer (00:00:33 / 00:00:33) How blue-rich light disrupts our circadian rhythm (3:54 / 3:54) Lack of exposure to sunlight (12:00 / 10:11) Balancing sun exposure and the risk of developing skin cancer (15:45 / 14:06) The correlation between blue light and obesity (28:54 / 26:00) Dr. Moore-Ede’s research discoveries (30:40 / 28:00) Why these dangers aren’t discussed in mainstream medicine (37:10 / 33:30) Hospital lighting that doesn’t promote healing (41:40 / 39:00) Dr. Moore-Ede’s origin story (44:10 / 41:30) Steps to immediately reduce your exposure (47:10 / 44:30) What is at stake when you fail to prioritize reducing exposure (1:03:20 / 1:00:50) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. Moore-Ede’s book Light Doctor: Using Light to Boost Health, Improve Sleep, and Live Longer  Soraa Zero Blue Lights For more on Dr. Moore-Ede, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, or his website.  This episode is brought to you by Lumebox and Air Doctor.
