Daily Light-Based Health Regime

Morning Routine

  1. Wake with the sun (Ott, “Health and Light”)
    • Allow natural light to enter your bedroom as you wake
    • If not possible, use a dawn simulator alarm clock
  2. Morning light exposure (Ott, “Health and Light”; Fisher, “Light That Heals”)
    • Spend 15-30 minutes outdoors in natural sunlight
    • If not possible, use a full-spectrum light box for 15-30 minutes
  3. Grounding practice (Becker, “The Body Electric”; Marino, “Going Somewhere”)
    • Walk barefoot on grass or soil for 5-10 minutes
    • If not possible, use a grounding mat while working
  4. Structured water intake (Pollack, “The Fourth Phase of Water”)
    • Start your day with 16-32 oz of structured water
    • Expose water to sunlight before drinking

Daytime Practices

  1. Optimize indoor lighting (Ott, “Health and Light”; Van Wijk, “Light in Shaping Life”)
    • Use full-spectrum bulbs in your workspace
    • Position yourself near windows when possible
  2. Regular movement (Lane, “The Vital Question”; Le Corre, “The Practice of Natural Movement”)
    • Take short walks every 1-2 hours, preferably outdoors
    • Incorporate natural movement patterns throughout the day
  3. Mitochondrial health (Lane, “Power, Sex, Suicide”; Know, “Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine”)
    • Engage in short bursts of high-intensity exercise
    • Consume mitochondria-supporting foods (e.g., leafy greens, berries)
  4. EMF mitigation (McLean, “The Force”; Milham, “Dirty Electricity”)
    • Use wired connections instead of Wi-Fi when possible
    • Keep mobile devices away from your body when not in use
    • Consider using EMF shielding devices in your workspace

Afternoon Practices

  1. Light therapy session (Fisher, “Light That Heals”; Van Wijk, “Light in Shaping Life”)
    • Consider a 15-20 minute session of red light or near-infrared therapy
    • Can be combined with meditation or breathwork
  2. Nature connection (Le Corre, “The Practice of Natural Movement”)
    • If possible, spend time in nature during lunch break
    • Practice mindful observation of natural surroundings

Evening Routine

  1. Sunset alignment (Ott, “Health and Light”)
    • Spend time outdoors during sunset, if possible
    • Begin dimming indoor lights as the sun sets
  2. Blue light reduction (Ott, “Health and Light”; Fisher, “Light That Heals”)
    • Use blue light blocking glasses 2-3 hours before bedtime
    • Install blue light filtering apps on devices
  3. EMF wind-down (Becker, “Cross Currents”; McLean, “The Force”)
    • Create an EMF-free zone in your bedroom
    • Turn off Wi-Fi routers and keep electronic devices out of the bedroom
  4. Relaxation practices (Becker, “The Body Electric”; Van Wijk, “Light in Shaping Life”)
    • Practice meditation or deep breathing exercises
    • Consider using red light therapy for relaxation and healing

Nighttime

  1. Optimal sleep environment (Ott, “Health and Light”; McLean, “The Force”)
    • Use blackout curtains or a sleep mask
    • Maintain a cool room temperature (60-67°F / 15-19°C)
  2. Consistent sleep schedule (Ott, “Health and Light”)
    • Aim to sleep and wake at the same times daily
    • Target 7-9 hours of sleep per night

Weekly Practices

  1. Nature immersion (Lane, “The Vital Question”; Becker, “The Body Electric”)
    • Spend extended time in nature at least once a week
    • Engage in outdoor activities like hiking or gardening
  2. EMF detox (McLean, “The Force”; Milham, “Dirty Electricity”)
    • Designate one day a week as a “low-EMF day”
    • Minimize use of electronic devices and seek natural environments
  3. Quantum biology exploration (McFadden, “Life on the Edge”)
    • Engage in activities that potentially enhance quantum coherence in the body (e.g., sungazing at sunrise/sunset, forest bathing)
  4. Continuous learning (Schrödinger, “What is Life?”; Marino, “Going Somewhere”)
    • Dedicate time to read and learn about the latest in health science
    • Reflect on how to integrate new knowledge into your daily practices

Monthly Practices

  1. Health metrics check (Kruse, “Epi-paleo Rx”)
    • Monitor key health markers (e.g., HRV, sleep quality, energy levels)
    • Adjust daily practices based on these metrics
  2. Environmental health audit (Davis, “The Secret History of the War on Cancer”)
    • Assess your living and working spaces for potential health hazards
    • Make necessary adjustments to reduce exposure to environmental toxins
