Let's dive in to exactly what we're talking about.

So this paper by Glen Jeffery's lab was published back in 2025, last year, and it showed very clearly that longer wavelengths in sunlight can actually pass through the human body.

Now this is an important discovery because what it tells us is that it is possible It's not definitive, it doesn't prove it, but it is possible for infrared light in the sunlight to actually get down to the level of the mitochondria and perhaps regulate this.

You can see here the hand that was published in that paper by Dr.

multiple electron transport chain rate constants are modified, and the net is is that electron transport chain flux is determined to go up by the combined effect.

Do I actually have any proof of that? I have some proof that is suggestive.

This is Glen Jeffery's paper from 2025 where he used specifically 850 nanometer light, shined it into the body, and saw what would happen to color blindness.

And he noticed here 100% being the control group and anything lower than that being an improvement that with monochromatic light, In the Protan group, there was a 9% improvement when he shone it on the head and the body, and 5% when it was just the body.

And to answer your initial question about maybe this internal pharmacy, As it relates to light, I think the most exciting area that I'm interested in is the intersection of how light and photobiology affects metabolic health.

Because what we're seeing coming out of amazing researchers like Professor Glen Jeffery out of UCL London, Scott Zimmerman, and Bob Fosbury, who's a professor of astrophysics and an astronomer.

looking at photobiological interactions with mitochondria, what we're seeing is that the light is so critically important to optimal mitochondrial function and therefore to metabolic health.

And when you nail this light environment, when you are living in harmony with natural light cycles, when you're getting full spectrum sunlight that's appropriate to your skin type, every single day, then the mitochondrial function is optimized and mitochondrial ATP production is optimized and you don't get the buildup of substrates.
