Another common trigger is working a tech job.

Excessive artificial blue light and non-native EMF exposure degenerates the gut’s integrity like it does the eyes and brain.

Too little sunlight and too much artificial light outside of the natural circadian rhythm (after sunset).

Simply spending most of your time inside and also living near cell/TV/radio or 5G towers can also gradually create leaky gut.

I’ve had clients with a perfect diet still have some level of leaky gut or SIBO, and they’ve all worked tech jobs so all day on computer screen, then spend all their time scrolling aimlessly on the phone or watching television up until they pass out for the night.

Your light environment matters more than you think.

If you work a tech job, you must find a way to change your schedule to see the sunrise each day before ANY screen exposure, then take periodic breaks outside regardless of cloud cover. Even 5-10 min counts.

Instead of smoke breaks, take sun breaks.

This applies to office jobs as well.

If you can, install Iris or f.lux software and purchase a pair of blue light blocking glasses to wear while on screens and at work.

If you work from home, alternatively you can bring the laptop outside as well. Even being in the shade helps to counteract some of this impact by providing a fuller spectrum of light.

When you’re not working, you need to spend as little time on screens and under artificial light as possible. You should be spending your weekends outside in the sun.
