Dr. Yahki Warns T.I. About Blue Light, Seed Oils and the Food Industry’s Tricks

So that, doing drugs, snorting cocaine, smoking cigarettes, I was smoking like 20 blunts a day, not getting no sleep, blue lights everywhere.

I was in the studio all the time, introduced to all these blue lights.

When you say

blue lights...

Explain that.

So the body is built off of a circadian rhythm.

Every cell in our body has something called a chromophore in there, which basically is a receptor for light.

Like without the sun, it's impossible for us to live.

So you have something called a circadian rhythmatic clock inside each of the cells of your body, which to let your body know whether it's light outside or whether it's dark outside, these kick on certain hormones that to regulate your actual body.

So for instance, at nighttime, the body produces something called serotonin, and then in the daytime, it releases the serotonin for you can be serious, you can have these functional awareness, your cognitive function is at its peak, for you can focus, you can hunt, you can do all the things you need to do while you awake.

It's called the alert frequency.

Well, during the day, the body produces something called melatonin and it releases it at night when the sun goes down.

This makes you sleepy and it makes you mellow.

Well, the only way this happened because when you sleep, the body heals itself.

It goes through a stage of autophagy.

Well, if it's nighttime and then you in blue lights, which is giving these UVA blue light rays, even though it's artificial- The body don't know that it's artificial.

So the sun go down, it's 9 p.m., you're supposed to be asleep.

But instead, we around all these artificial lights, the body think that the sun is still out.

So it stay in this alertness state.

So now you can't get that melatonin to get that mellow feeling to go to sleep to reach stages of autophagy to heal yourself.

Because the only time the body detoxify automatically or really regulate and recycle the cells is through the sleeping phase.

You gotta be in something called the delta sleep phase.

It's impossible to reach the delta gamma sleep phase if you are introducing your body to artificial lights at the wrong time of the day.

So, okay, so...

so for someone who let's say uh lives life in the studio you know and and creating uh even if they not in the music studio let's say they're a painter
