At birth we are assigned a particular set of genes from our parents; however as we grow, certain sections of our genetic code get switched “on” & “off”
Epigenetics is the study of how our behaviors & environment can cause changes that affect the way our genes express themselves

Humans are incredibly adaptive when it comes to our environment & diet
Many theories attempt to explain what lead to the rapid acceleration of human brain size as well as population density
For example: Cooking with fire. Stoned ape theory. Hand eye coordination development

Neurosurgeon @DrJackKruse claims that eating seafood may have been a major contributor
Somewhere along our evolutionary path a group of apes may have been separated from their original environment, forcing a seafood diet onto our ancestors

Seafood & shellfish contains a ton of fatty acids, Omega-3’s & specifically DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
Typically our bodies like to burn fats as an energy source
However DHA is instead used as a building block for our cells. Specifically in places that transmit tons of energy

However DHA is instead used as a building block for our cells. Specifically in places that transmit tons of energy
For example in our nervous system, which contains more mitochondria than any other system in the body
DHA has a unique cellular structure that allows cells to efficiently & rabidly carry energy
DHA is the primary building component of Myelin (fatty sheathing surrounding nerves)

As a result of this uptick in DHA exposure, our ancestors started to build bigger & bigger brains
This may help explain the skull size of Homo sapiens precursors such as the Cro-Magnon or Neanderthal

Unfortunately for us, humans are not able to synthesis DHA internally
As a result we are dependent on a dietary environmental source of DHA
This is just one example our external environment having a direct impact on our evolution & genome 🧬

What other external sources could influence human cells / potential?
Consider our modern transition to an indoor lifestyle
This deprivation of the full spectrum of sunlight all other organisms are exposed to, is causing huge changes to our physiological & mitochondrial health

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of our cells
These tiny energy producers are the foundation for all complex or eukaryotic organisms
Our mitochondria accept protons, neutrons & electrons as fuel sources
And then converts these sources into molecules known as ATP

Matt Maruca uses the analogy of pistons in a car to explain this energy production
Both humans & cars take in oxygen
Combustion engines burn gasoline (stored hydrogen from ancient life)
Humans take in fuel the form of food (stored hydrogen from recent life)

In our mitochondria (our bodies engines) hydrogen is pumped into an inter-membrane space
Where they are very tightly stored, although they are actually repelling one another
The only way out is through a revolving door known as ATP synthase
Creating a spinning field of energy

No matter how premium a fuel source you use, without functioning spark plugs your car engine is unlikely to perform
Our mitochondria’s spark plugs in this analogy is the Sun 🌞
Without full spectrum sunlight our mitochondria produce waste products called free radicals

Eating shellfish & scavenging for high quality fuel sources (such as DHA) worked well for our ancestors because they had access to a full days worth of solar energy
Unlike modern day humans who are almost universally sunlight deficients

So many people fluctuate through different diet regimes in an attempt to optimize their systems
However many people neglect the universal energy source, their light diet
We seem to have forgotten we are so(u)lar beginnings

In fact some scholars believe that Homo Sapiens evolved to shed our hair in an attempt to absorb more sunlight
Our skin acts as a solar panel absorbing energy directly from the ☀️
This caused a cyclical loop of hair loss & increased brain capacity

It makes sense that parts of our organic system would have evolved to utilize solar energy
This is basically “free” energy
Living an indoor lifestyle is not only robbing us of “free” energy but substituting it with artificial light💡that confuses our circadian rhythm

In the last century we have seen an influx of diseases such as:
Heart disease, Alzheimer’s & Cancer.
Our society has spent billions of $’s in an attempt to find causes / cures of these diseases in the nuclear genes, but with little success
Western medicine seems stumped

What has been assumed is that the diseases we are facing today are caused by genetic defects (mutations) that trigger physiological problems such as proteins being produced improperly
Therefore we need to develop various “drugs” to treat symptoms without addressing root cause

Earlier I mentioned the concept of Epigenetics & how our genes can be altered by our environment
Interestingly enough mitochondria actually bring 13 of their own genes to our system
These 13 genes are inherited exclusively from our mothers and not from our fathers

Our nuclear genes 🧬 can be exchanged for environmental variability, robustness & evolutionary purposes
However our mitochondria perform such a specific energy creating procedure that any splicing or variability could be catastrophic
Nature is disciplined in this formula

Therefore mitochondrial genetics are less variable in humans than the rest of our genome
This has allowed researchers like Dr. Douglas Wallace to track human migration patterns beginning out of Africa
As well as track the influx of modern diseases today

There are several types of diseases
Infectious: Tuberculosis, Syphilis, Coronavirus
Genetic: Sickle Cell, Cystic Fibrosis, Down Syndrome
Chronic: Heart Disease, Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Depression, Anxiety, Celiac, Arthritis, Parkinson’s

Chronic disease is now responsible for upwards of 85% of modern day fatalities
According to Dr, Wallace’s research
Chronic -> Mitochondrial
Not to say they’re directly caused by the mitochondria themselves but the affects are mediated through the mitochondria

While the world panics over COVID the real pandemic of chronic disease continues to gain unimpeded momentum
Western science has struggled to find solutions despite billions of dollars & decades of research
I believe we are looking at the problem from the wrong angle

If we can understand that we are energetic beings being influenced by light & electromagnetism and not just our genes
Then we can start to prevent unnecessary depression, disease & fatalities

Matt Maruca goes on to recommend his 5-step Light Diet and if you’re interested can be found at the end of the podcast episode
I’ve been using his blue light blocking glasses for months are think you should be to!
