What if our light environment was the biggest missing piece of infertility treatment?
'Sleep disorders are significantly associated with infertility. Poor sleep quality, extreme sleep durations, and certain sleep chronotypes are associated with poorer fertility treatment outcomes, such as a reduced number of retrieved oocytes, decreased embryo quality, and lower fertilization rates.'
Once again human disease is linked to artificial light exposure:
'The circadian rhythms of the Clock gene system, melatonin and hormone dysregulation, oxidative stress and immune response are considered to be potential mechanisms explaining how sleep disturbance impairs reproductive function, remain to be fully elucidated, and therefore, require further investigation.'
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) physiology explains why environmental signals of LIGHT & TEMPERATURE are key to metabolic health and weight loss
Here’s a brief overview🧵
Leptin resistance = weight loss resistance
Disordered circadian light signals and insulation from ambient temperature cues is a shortcut to leptin resistance

The function of all your metabolic organs - liver, pancreas, adipocyte, muscle, gut - contain circadian timing mechanisms
Leptin, circadian hormone, acts centrally to inform total body energy stores
Chaotic light signals = metabolic disease
Food first mindset = only intrinsic food factors ie macronutrient composition relevant to developing metabolic dysfunction
Big picture mindset = external, environmental signals ( LIGHT, temperature & meal timing >> meal content in initiating & perpetuating metabolic disease

The clinical focus on LDL and total cholesterol for prevention of aethrosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is to the exclusion of underlying root causes, which are readily modifiable by easily implemented lifestyle interventions - short thread
Visceral fat/hyperinsulinemia/hyperglycemia - normalize circadian rhythm, avoid carbs, sugar, seed oils
Glycocalyx injury/endothelial repair - avoid high blood pressure, smoking, MAX nitric oxide (sun, exercise)
