Artificial Light Is Changing Your Biology — How to Protect Yourself | Matt Maruca

What If the Light Around You Is Making You Sick?

We think about health in terms of food, exercise and sleep but what about the light we're exposed to every day?

Matt Maruca shares his journey from childhood health struggles and extreme dieting to discovering what he believes is one of the most overlooked influences on human health: light.

He explains how artificial light may affect our circadian rhythm, mitochondria, hormones, sleep and mental wellbeing and why changing the way we experience light could change the way we live.
