0:02
Just as a general thought, if someone was, again, highly motivated, what should our relation
0:08
Is this something where you're saying, get sun in the early morning?
0:12
Are you saying get 20 minutes an hour, six hours, 12 hours?
0:16
What would be perfect if someone was motivated regarding our relation with sunlight?
0:21
Well, just the general mainstream person, what I would say is that getting 30 minutes of
0:28
natural sunlight in the morning, as long as it's not triggering a blink reflex, so you
0:33
don't have to look directly in the sun, even if it's cloudy outside, you're still getting
0:39
You can wear a hat, you don't want to look directly at the sun, go walk, that's a good
0:46
The more advanced people, I would say, end of day is also great.
0:51
We get color therapy at that time, because usually around sunset, sometimes we get the
0:56
different colors, and our eyes need different colors.
1:00
Red is more stimulating, violet, purple, blue, green is more relaxing, so that would be
1:06
a way to get color therapy.
1:08
But I think we've been taught to be afraid of the sun.
1:12
I think there's a lot of fear out there, and I think it's really overblown.
1:16
Yes, UV and high amounts can change the lens health, but we actually need trace amounts
1:25
One of the people that I love mentioned this book, John Ott, it's called Health and Light.
1:32
One of the things Ott talked about was something called malalumination, just like malnutrition.
1:38
What he would say is that we're not getting the proper light diet.
1:43
I remember an example of this in my office.
1:46
I had a very busy office, and I had seven people working up front.
1:50
They were processing all the insurance claims.
1:54
There was always a lot of conflict and fighting and just bad vibes.
2:00
One weekend I went in, and I changed the light bulbs to full spectrum fluorescent lights,
2:06
and I didn't tell the staff.
2:08
About a week later, we had a meeting, and they said, what did you change?
2:14
We're feeling so much better in the front office, and I told them, and they said, that makes
2:20
Now, we're now in natural full spectrum lighting, and our bodies are less stress.
2:25
We're more open to it.
2:29
Full spectrum lighting is like full spectrum living, and we need to get away from artificial
2:35
We need to get away from the digital, and we need to go into a space where we're getting
2:41
the natural sunlight.
2:43
Speaking of light, I'm going to put the light on here.
2:55
So just to be clear, so if I, is it dangerous to be outside too much, like is it bad if
3:03
you're a gardener and you spend all day outside, is that a good thing or a bad thing for
3:09
Well, if I was a gardener, a forest ranger, or a lifeguard, I would certainly be investing
3:16
in a good pair of sunglasses, and a lot of it depends on my, you know, my skin, health,
3:27
how sensitive I am to the sun.
3:30
I think using sunglasses is actually a really good thing.
3:34
I think you want to get a good neutral brown or neutral gray, pay a little bit more and
3:39
get a high quality sun lens, but again, we're talking moderation.
3:44
You get that natural light in the morning, 30 minutes, you know, I know for me, I like
3:49
So sometimes today I was hiking with my dog and for part of the time I was wearing sunglasses
3:56
because I was right in the sun.
3:58
And then we were up at a stream playing up there and the sun was in direct, so I took
4:05
I do a lot of skiing, I ski up in Tows and I wear sunglasses, you know, I go out in
4:12
the ocean and I wear sunglasses, there's nothing wrong with that.
4:15
I think what it is is you need to feel your body and give your eyes and your body what
4:23
If it's too bright, it's perfectly fine to wear sunglasses.
4:26
If you're driving into the sun, wear sunglasses.
4:29
Now where you are, the sun isn't quite as extreme as where we are in the desert southwest.
4:35
So I might wear sunglasses a little more than say where you are, but if you're sensitive
4:42
protect yourself, there's nothing wrong with it.
4:44
But the fear part of it changes the neurochemicals in the brain and that's where the issue comes
4:51
You know, I want to have good levels of serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin.
4:55
I want to embrace the sun and I also want to be sensible about it.
5:00
As soon as I go into my fear, what happens?
5:03
My cortisol levels go up, my dopamine and serotonin go down.
5:08
So be aware of what your mind is doing and understand that basically we're heliocentric.
5:15
We go towards the sun just like the plants and then we just have to moderate how much and
5:23
And if we every day want to take a three or four hour walk outside, we seem to like the
5:29
We don't really want to wear sunglasses.
5:31
Are you comfortable or are we doing damage to our eyes?
5:34
We're comfortable with that.
5:35
We're comfortable with that.
5:38
You can always check in with your eye doctor and eye health.
5:40
See what's going on with your, you know, your macular health and your lens.
5:44
I'd recommend routine exams.
5:47
So you can monitor that.
5:48
So if you start developing a cataract, you can go, okay, why is that?
5:52
Is it because of the sun?
5:53
Is it because of my sugar?
5:55
So you know, I think it's really important to check in and go to your doctor whoever that
6:02
And just get, get a baseline on what is going on in your health.
6:07
I know a lot about health.
6:09
I know a lot about nutrition, but I do not prescribe for myself.
6:12
I go to doctors and they tell me what I need.
6:16
So I am not, you know, an ego about that saying, well, I know I go to people because I don't
6:31
What is your best recommendation about the light bulbs in our house?
6:36
Well, I think, you know, we've got the LED conversation and that's the blue light.
6:45
I would say in as many cases as you can get full spectrum lighting, you know, kind of
6:51
depends again, like if you're in an apartment and you don't get a lot of natural light,
6:56
I would probably focus in on getting more full spectrum lighting.
7:01
That would be my intention, you know, if you live in a place where you're getting natural
7:07
light in the windows, then it's less of an issue.
7:11
I think that, you know, again, a lot of it depends on the toxicity of where you live.
7:19
And you know, go from there.
7:23
So does that mean to get incandescent bulbs or LED bulbs?
7:26
So, you know, what does that actually mean in terms of what?
7:29
Well, what it means is my primary would probably be incandescent and getting full spectrum.
7:37
You know, there's things called the hot lights.
7:39
You can go online and now they've got a lot of different full spectrum lights.
7:45
I would probably move away from LEDs if I could.
7:49
Another thing you've got to consider is winter.
7:52
And again, if you're sensitive, sad, I would get yourself a full spectrum light box where
7:57
you're treating yourself with that.
8:01
That's another piece to the puzzle, but full spectrum incandescent and see what you can
8:08
Okay, one more time, full spectrum.
8:14
What does that mean in terms of buying a bulb, like the bulb say full spectrum on them or
8:20
You can, you can, again, go online, type in full spectrum light bulbs and see what comes up.
8:27
Sometimes they're compact fluorescence.
8:30
Sometimes they're incandescent.
8:32
They come in different ways, but the reason why it's full spectrum is that you've got,
8:37
again, you can eat food, artificial food or fast food.
8:42
That's like the light that is artificial light.
8:47
Or you can eat a full spectrum food diet and light is basically a food.
8:53
It's just in a different form.
8:55
So you want to look for the term full spectrum indoor lighting.
9:02
That would be what you want to look for and see what, see what comes up, you know.
9:08
I think that's a really good thing to think about.
9:17
In terms of light therapy, have you already described light therapy or have we not discussed that?
9:22
No, we haven't really discussed it.
9:24
So there's two ways we can talk about it.
9:27
One is a photo biomodulation, which I know some of your, you know, your, your folks.
9:35
I've talked about the benefits of red light therapy, not so much for the eyes because it's too bright.
9:41
One of the things that I have developed are actually, I call them red exercise glasses.
9:47
So they have the 670 nanometers in the lens that's a pair of glasses.
9:53
And you can control the brightness of the light source.
9:56
That works really well.
9:58
So that's one form of the red light therapy.
10:01
There's also another form of light therapy where you're using all the colors of the spectrum.
10:06
And, you know, we want to put down blue light.
10:08
But once you get up to like 475 nanometers, that blue light actually is really good to release trauma.
10:16
And also it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.
10:20
There's a color therapy treatment protocol, which I'll share with you.
10:25
We actually did it the other day.
10:27
You can either get this, do this by getting all the main colors of the spectrum.
10:33
And the way it works is you're going to treat yourself with the rainbow of colors.
10:41
So you start off with the red glasses.
10:43
You put them on, you ask yourself, what do I see?
10:46
And how does it make me feel?
10:48
And that particular red may stimulate the root chakra.
10:52
It may bring up some memories.
10:54
Again, color and light trigger the hidden energies behind the eyes.
11:00
That's one of the things that that's why color therapy is so amazing.
11:04
You wear that for two minutes, take that off, then you put the orange on.
11:10
And the feeling, the emotion is very important to connect to it.
11:14
Again, two minutes, move to yellow, then the green, then the blue green, then the blue, then the violet.
11:21
So if you do that spectrum of rainbow colors, I did research on it using a special energy field camera
11:30
and chakras when I was at the Esland Institute.
11:33
And we did a study where we measured people doing that very treatment before we measured
11:39
their energy and then after and we found their chakras were much more lined up.
11:43
Their energy fields were much bigger and their acupuncture meridians were much more balanced.
11:49
This was getting light into the eyes, this is how we did the study.
11:53
So doing this energy color therapy every day and then you could combine it by using a
12:00
In my trainings, we use seven different Roman therapy oils that match the colors.
12:08
We can also add sound to it so you can add sound healing.
12:12
So by doing that, it's working on the energy of the body, the energy field and it's a way
12:17
to really kind of clear out all the disharmony.
12:22
If there's a color or colors you don't like, you probably have a color allergy.
12:27
So that color, you want to treat yourself a little more so that you would release whatever
12:34
the disarmony was and then you'd be more full spectrum yourself because whatever you're
12:40
not receiving that color, you're probably attracting that life experience into your life.
12:47
That's kind of what we do.
12:48
We attract what we need to heal.
12:51
So the color therapy in that way works really, really well and again, you can get these
12:56
glasses on Amazon or you can look for a rainbow color machine.
13:02
You can also do it with each eye separately.
13:04
You can also intuitively say, oh, I think I need green today.
13:08
So you could do 10 minutes of that.
13:10
If you're in eye pain or you're dealing with traumatic brain injury, I would do a blue
13:15
or a blue green that helps reduce trauma.
13:18
If you're low energy or you want to cleanse your liver, I would do a yellow or yellow
13:22
green or an orange.
13:26
So you know, you can work with it intuitively.
13:28
You can do all the colors.
13:29
You can start with the indigo violet and work your way back to the red if you want.
13:35
Thirty-day challenge.
13:36
Do it for 30 days and you will see differences in your vision, your awareness, your consciousness
13:43
and it's a really cool way to balance your health.
13:50
Your lecture title, The Eyes Never Lie, suggests a strong link between vision and overall
13:57
In your experience, what is the one of the most surprising systemic conditions you've
14:02
identified through an eye examination?
