In This Episode:
In this episode, I go over the #1 deficiency in our society today that is increasing the risk of cancer and all cause chronic inflammation. This deficiency is “darkness.” Darkness helps increase melatonin and human growth hormone which are the 2 most powerful immune supportive, anti-aging hormones.
In a world flooded with artificial lights and endless screen time, we might be overlooking a silent yet critical health risk: darkness deficiency. In the latest episode of The Functional Nutrition Podcast, Dr. David Jockers reveals how our modern lifestyle is disrupting essential processes in the body, doubling the risk of cancers like breast and prostate cancer. Could your nightly habits be putting you at risk?
Why Darkness Matters More Than You Think
Darkness isn’t just for sleep—it’s a powerhouse for your health. Melatonin, often dubbed the “anti-aging hormone,” is produced in the absence of light and plays a pivotal role in protecting your mitochondria, reducing inflammation, and even fighting cancer.
But here’s the catch: exposure to blue light from screens and artificial lighting halts melatonin production.
Small Changes, Big Health Wins
Dr. Jockers shares practical tips you can implement tonight to reduce blue light exposure and optimize your melatonin production. From dimming your lights to wearing blue light-blocking glasses, these simple habits can have profound impacts on your health.
Curious to learn more about the connection between darkness, melatonin, and cancer prevention? Tune into this episode to uncover the full story and discover how you can create an evening routine that helps you thrive. Don’t miss out; your health depends on it!
