Speaker: 00:00:01

Good morning Tristan and thank you for joining us today on the podcast.

00:00:04,566 --> 00:00:08,306

We've had a bit of back and forth trying to find a time that works.

00:00:08,306 --> 00:00:10,986

I'm glad that we could finally make today happen.

00:00:10,986 --> 00:00:19,786

This is a conversation I've been wanting to have for a while as I've been beating this

particular drum, that being that EMFs are potentially harmful for a while now.

00:00:19,806 --> 00:00:20,826

And I'm excited.

00:00:20,826 --> 00:00:22,806

So I'm excited to have someone on the pod.

00:00:22,806 --> 00:00:27,166

can sort of, I can point to as being a credible source in this field.

00:00:27,412 --> 00:00:31,808

I know you've been pretty busy as of late, especially in the podcast circuit.

00:00:31,808 --> 00:00:38,258

And while a lot of people are likely familiar with you, there may be some, especially

among audience who aren't.

00:00:38,258 --> 00:00:44,646

So with that being said, would you just mind running us through who you are, your story

and all that good stuff?

00:00:45,006 --> 00:00:46,906

Yeah, yeah, thanks for having me.

00:00:46,906 --> 00:00:47,506

It's crazy.

00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:50,786

It's almost been a year since we connected in person.

00:00:50,786 --> 00:00:52,146

It's coming up on it.

00:00:52,146 --> 00:00:54,646

So time is certainly flying by.

00:00:55,166 --> 00:00:58,846

Yeah, so I have a background in electrical engineering.

00:00:58,846 --> 00:01:00,906

I went to school for that.

00:01:00,906 --> 00:01:02,466

I kind of graduated.

00:01:02,586 --> 00:01:08,110

And as I was graduating, had a profound...

00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:10,350

intervention in terms of my health journey.

00:01:10,350 --> 00:01:18,330

I had suffered one too many concussions and was dealing with post concussive syndrome and

symptoms for over a year.

00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:30,310

So that really sent me down a rabbit hole of trying to understand how to heal myself in a

non-traditional way in terms of not really listening from the lack of help and advice that

00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:34,370

I was getting from my neurologist centralized doctors.

00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:38,156

So went down to self-healing rabbit hole in 2018 and

00:01:38,156 --> 00:01:49,105

and started to implement things in my lifestyle, started to be more intentional about

sleep hygiene, stress reduction, what I was eating, how I was kind of spending time

00:01:49,105 --> 00:01:49,715

outside.

00:01:49,715 --> 00:01:55,250

So I started getting a lot better, experimenting with supplements for brain healing.

00:01:55,250 --> 00:01:57,291

And yeah, I got a lot better.

00:01:57,291 --> 00:02:06,889

went from, you know, originally being a college athlete and engineering student to not

being able to really exercise at all and had to sleep 12, 13 hours a night for over a

00:02:06,889 --> 00:02:07,970

year, super.

00:02:07,970 --> 00:02:16,045

sensitive to all stimulus to then being able to get back to kind of close to where I was

before my brain injury.

00:02:16,045 --> 00:02:16,906

And I became hooked.

00:02:16,906 --> 00:02:27,553

I became obsessed with health optimization and understanding what was really wrong with

our environment and what was wrong with our lifestyle habits so that I could personally

00:02:27,553 --> 00:02:37,840

become the best version of myself and then also have the people around me and, know,

eventually online and in a greater sphere of influence understand that

00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:45,985

that there's a lot of things you can do that costs little to no money are purely based on

lifestyle interventions to feel a lot better.

00:02:45,985 --> 00:02:52,170

So from, you know, 2019 onwards, I just kept learning, kept going down these rabbit holes.

00:02:52,170 --> 00:02:58,914

I started with food, the food system, regenerative agriculture, and a lot of the diet

piece.

00:02:58,914 --> 00:03:07,820

And from there, I wrote a book, half on regenerative ag and diet and food and the other

half on Bitcoin and how

00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:20,268

this all ties to money being kind of centralized and really being debased from a currency

perspective and value purchasing power perspective and of course everything is tied to

00:03:20,268 --> 00:03:23,109

business incentives and that's why

00:03:23,904 --> 00:03:33,488

I think that the reason or that's why this has really gone downhill in terms of a quality

of life for the individual members of society perspective.

00:03:33,488 --> 00:03:41,512

But from there, I realized as an electrical engineer, I had a specific advantage compared

to most people in the health space.

00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:50,026

And that was I had a background in physics and engineering that could better understand

the electromagnetic aspects of our biology.

00:03:50,026 --> 00:03:52,908

And I was really intrigued by that.

00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:53,920

had bought my

00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,842

first pair of blue light blocking glasses in 2018 was grounding.

00:03:57,842 --> 00:04:07,231

was turning my phone on airplane mode for years, but I never really dove super deep on

these topics until two, three years ago.

00:04:07,231 --> 00:04:14,807

And I quickly realized just how important these areas were, even more so than I had

originally anticipated.

00:04:14,807 --> 00:04:17,919

Like I knew circadian rhythm was massively important.

00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:21,962

I knew getting outside and getting connected with nature was massively important.

00:04:22,103 --> 00:04:24,164

But then I became really fascinated.

00:04:24,205 --> 00:04:29,992

with the science as to why that was the case and I

00:04:29,992 --> 00:04:35,345

had a unique kind of background to educate on those reasons.

00:04:35,345 --> 00:04:41,047

And that's kind of where I've lived the past couple of years and started my own podcast

for a bit.

00:04:41,347 --> 00:04:47,260

And eventually got introduced to what I'm doing now at Daylight Computer just over a year

ago.

00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:56,835

So the whole premise there is to actually solve or provide an alternative for what, in my

opinion, is the most pervasive environmental toxin.

00:04:56,835 --> 00:04:58,595

And that is our technology.

00:04:58,595 --> 00:05:00,286

And that's for many reasons.

00:05:00,586 --> 00:05:02,007

Yeah.

00:05:02,007 --> 00:05:12,570

You mentioned your education a few times and I think that it's especially and it's an

especially good point because I think well, I mean, this is going well very quickly go

00:05:12,570 --> 00:05:21,703

down the Jack Drew's rabbit hole but so many people in the biology space, myself included,

just look at things from a sort of very reductionist molecular approach.

00:05:21,703 --> 00:05:25,162

I look at everything through the lens of biochemistry because that's my background.

00:05:25,162 --> 00:05:31,504

But everyone really does, I think, miss the physics component or the quantum component,

really.

00:05:32,505 --> 00:05:37,527

In a second, I'd sort of really like to sort of jump into EMS, but I feel it's generally

helpful.

00:05:37,527 --> 00:05:49,031

And you've really alluded to this when going into tongue, excuse me, into a complex topic

to maybe break down some of these sort of first principles.

00:05:49,452 --> 00:05:55,294

And with your background in physics, I think that's only going to be an asset to this

conversation.

00:05:55,413 --> 00:06:00,955

Now I'm definitely not an engineer and last time I opened a physics textbook was probably

first year uni.

00:06:00,955 --> 00:06:13,110

So correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the possibly the two most important sort of topics

to cover or mention here with regards to the rest of the conversation going forward about

00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:17,932

EMFs and such are probably electromagnetic fields and then different types of radiation.

00:06:17,932 --> 00:06:20,112

So ionizing, non ionizing.

00:06:21,173 --> 00:06:23,866

Could you walk us through just a 101?

00:06:23,866 --> 00:06:27,649

as it were, to get listeners up to speed on these concepts.

00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:37,188

Feel free to add anything I've missed, of course, but just as sort of a prelude to the

rest of the conversation is I think we may talk about some topics that people might get

00:06:37,188 --> 00:06:38,078

lost in.

00:06:38,252 --> 00:06:40,754

Yeah, yeah, it's so important.

00:06:40,754 --> 00:06:44,697

I try to almost wind, know, weave this into every conversation.

00:06:44,697 --> 00:06:56,015

And when I do my own content or post, I try to reiterate that as well, because like you

said, you probably haven't taken a physics course since first year of uni.

00:06:56,015 --> 00:07:05,222

And even then that's because you were a biochem, you know, concentration or whatever STEM

major, whereas a lot, some people, especially in the U S

00:07:05,868 --> 00:07:08,705

have never taken a physics course in their entire lives.

00:07:08,728 --> 00:07:10,629

You know, it was optional for me in high school.

00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:11,880

I took two years of it.

00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,101

And then of course, electrical engineering is basically all physics and calculus.

00:07:16,101 --> 00:07:21,184

But where what's really important to grasp is the electromagnetic spectrum.

00:07:21,184 --> 00:07:26,796

And it is very vast and it is all light at the end of the day.

00:07:26,796 --> 00:07:28,237

It's all photons.

00:07:28,237 --> 00:07:37,111

And these photons have this unique characteristic to act as both waves and particles

individually.

00:07:37,111 --> 00:07:39,126

But we mostly like to

00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:51,972

talk about them as waves and these waves of light can be seen in a very narrow band of

that spectrum, which is the visible light that we're all familiar with the colors of the

00:07:51,972 --> 00:07:55,754

rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

00:07:55,754 --> 00:07:59,876

And that is just a tiny, tiny little sliver.

00:07:59,876 --> 00:08:09,060

And what you get from sunlight is the visible plus the ultraviolet, which is, you know,

higher energy than violet.

00:08:09,060 --> 00:08:11,902

and then infrared, is lower energy than red.

00:08:11,902 --> 00:08:16,765

And I teased a couple things right there in terms of characteristics.

00:08:16,765 --> 00:08:22,739

So each wave has really three fundamental characteristics of it.

00:08:22,739 --> 00:08:26,131

has energy, frequency, and wavelength.

00:08:26,232 --> 00:08:30,454

And frequency and energy are directly proportional.

00:08:30,454 --> 00:08:36,688

So when one goes higher, the other one is also higher, and then wavelength is inversely

proportional.

00:08:36,688 --> 00:08:39,140

So for example, ultraviolet

00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:45,204

light is the highest energy wavelengths that we're being exposed to from the Sun.

100

00:08:45,204 --> 00:08:47,245

That's it's crossing

101

00:08:47,838 --> 00:09:02,315

threshold and we can talk about ionizing versus non ionizing next, but it has enough

energy in the photons of the wave to really have a more stronger interaction with the

102

00:09:02,315 --> 00:09:08,168

molecules at the atomic subatomic particle level in our biology, the electrons

predominantly.

103

00:09:08,168 --> 00:09:15,811

And that's important because things like vitamin D synthesis, things like a cascade of

effects trigger hormonal production.

104

00:09:15,811 --> 00:09:18,032

These are all exclusive really

105

00:09:18,032 --> 00:09:21,334

ultraviolet light, but that does come at a cost.

106

00:09:21,334 --> 00:09:30,400

It's more stressful to our biology to deal with these higher energy wavelengths and that's

why you can get sunburn.

107

00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:45,531

That's why you never get ultraviolet without the rest of the spectrum and these lower

energy wavelengths, lower in frequency, lower in energy, and longer in their actual

108

00:09:45,531 --> 00:09:48,132

wavelengths like red and infrared.

109

00:09:48,285 --> 00:09:51,467

are more restorative to ourselves.

110

00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:58,072

They do things like trigger melatonin synthesis at the subcellular mitochondrial level,

which is extremely fascinating.

111

00:09:58,072 --> 00:10:03,977

was a real transcendental moment for me to realize how important sunlight was.

112

00:10:03,977 --> 00:10:06,920

And that's all in balance.

113

00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,713

understanding frequency, higher frequency equals higher energy.

114

00:10:10,713 --> 00:10:16,407

Understanding that wavelength is the opposite in terms of being directly proportional.

115

00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:17,407

shorter

116

00:10:17,488 --> 00:10:23,178

wavelengths is higher energy, higher frequency and then there is that threshold right at

117

00:10:23,178 --> 00:10:35,134

ultraviolet and beyond to where you get into things like x-rays and gamma rays where it

does become ionizing and ionizing really just means that it has enough energy the wave to

118

00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:49,050

completely knock an electron out of the subatomic particles level molecule is there the

orbital and it's completely ionized at that point as a molecule now the premise in the

119

00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:53,082

mainstream is that if something is non-ionizing it doesn't

120

00:10:53,082 --> 00:10:55,073

really have a biological effect.

121

00:10:55,073 --> 00:11:04,176

That's kind of what they teach you in engineering and physics and no one in STEM in terms

of physics and engineering really understands biology.

122

00:11:04,176 --> 00:11:06,247

So they don't question this.

123

00:11:06,247 --> 00:11:11,778

So there's a very siloed multi or lack of multidisciplinary approach here.

124

00:11:11,878 --> 00:11:21,902

And that's to me the biggest miss because it's evident that non-ionizing radiation can

have a biological effect even through things like

125

00:11:22,252 --> 00:11:27,155

The infrared spectrum is non-ionizing and clearly affects our biology very deeply.

126

00:11:27,155 --> 00:11:28,586

It penetrates very deep.

127

00:11:28,586 --> 00:11:41,263

But even beyond that is where you get into the spectrum of radio frequencies, for example,

are below the infrared spectrum, which means they have an even lower level of energy per

128

00:11:41,263 --> 00:11:47,426

wave, but they still, based on thousands of studies, can have a biological effect.

129

00:11:47,426 --> 00:11:50,210

The important thing to note is it's a different

130

00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:51,491

biological effect.

131

00:11:51,491 --> 00:11:54,542

is not direct electron excitation.

132

00:11:54,542 --> 00:11:57,654

It is not really direct electron interactions.

133

00:11:57,654 --> 00:11:59,554

It's something else.

134

00:11:59,614 --> 00:12:08,899

And that is important to note because that is where the crux really is in terms of people

acknowledging that these things are potentially harmful.

135

00:12:08,899 --> 00:12:20,224

But as you go down the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of frequency and energy, you go

down the radio frequency communication spectrum, which is in the gigahertz range

136

00:12:20,224 --> 00:12:35,311

frequency so let's use your Wi-Fi for example is 2.4 gigahertz that means that wave is

oscillating at 2.4 billion times a second and that's that's quite a lot right but we just

137

00:12:35,311 --> 00:12:40,474

mentioned sunlight and colors like blue light blue light is oscillating at

138

00:12:41,378 --> 00:12:53,007

you know, in the hundreds and all colors, in the hundreds of terahertz, so hundreds of

trillions of times per second is the colors of the rainbow are oscillating, and that is

139

00:12:53,007 --> 00:12:56,249

drastically higher than the radio frequency range.

140

00:12:56,249 --> 00:13:05,305

But the radio frequency range is very vast as well, and the military and other satellite

communications make up this band.

141

00:13:05,305 --> 00:13:08,978

What's important to understand about the radio frequency band

142

00:13:09,152 --> 00:13:13,683

is that almost none of it, maybe a tiny little sliver.

143

00:13:14,238 --> 00:13:17,159

existed before we invented technology.

144

00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:20,181

So it's completely alien to us.

145

00:13:20,181 --> 00:13:32,947

And that is where a lot of this research is pointing to it mostly acting as a biological

stressor causing interference at the cellular level causing biological confusion, really.

146

00:13:32,947 --> 00:13:41,171

And then you can keep going down to lower and lower frequencies and you get to kind of

where our power, our electrical power is operating at.

147

00:13:41,171 --> 00:13:43,904

And that is 50 Hertz for those in the UK.

148

00:13:43,904 --> 00:13:55,528

60 Hertz for those in the US and that means it's straight up 50 or 60 wave oscillations

per second which is you know

149

00:13:55,528 --> 00:14:02,862

orders of magnitude lower than say Wi-Fi and thus has an extremely long wavelength.

150

00:14:02,862 --> 00:14:13,226

So we're talking I think kilometers long wavelength at that point to where it actually can

travel very far distances without being impeded.

151

00:14:13,266 --> 00:14:20,290

And that's why they use, you know, low frequency for things like submarine communication

and can go through water.

152

00:14:20,290 --> 00:14:25,372

And it's important to note that as well, all these electromagnetic waves,

153

00:14:25,442 --> 00:14:28,164

have two field components to them.

154

00:14:28,164 --> 00:14:34,828

So the electromagnetic fields, you know, is the nomenclature used to describe EMFs.

155

00:14:34,828 --> 00:14:36,259

That's what it stands for.

156

00:14:36,259 --> 00:14:44,225

And what that means is each electromagnetic wave, it has both a magnetic field component

and then an electric field component.

157

00:14:44,225 --> 00:14:52,870

And those are kind of oscillating 90 degrees apart from each other, but in phase, it's

part of the same greater wave.

158

00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:55,332

And at these lower frequencies, they tend

159

00:14:55,332 --> 00:15:07,520

to have more isolated of an effect, like the electric field component versus the magnetic

field component is more isolated in terms of how it's affecting our biology, whereas at

160

00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:21,179

light, visible light wavelengths and radio frequency wavelengths, they're oscillating at

such a high frequency, they're kind of almost understood and measured to be working all as

161

00:15:21,179 --> 00:15:25,732

one unit because it's such a high frequency of oscillation.

162

00:15:25,752 --> 00:15:35,459

So that's kind of the basic overview and what's really important to take away is that the

electromagnetic spectrum is very vast.

163

00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,263

Most of it has been manufactured by man.

164

00:15:40,263 --> 00:15:49,409

What we would naturally be exposed to on the earth pre any technology would be the solar

spectrum which is in this terahertz

165

00:15:50,018 --> 00:15:56,041

hundreds of nanometers range in terms of frequency and wavelength, the ultraviolet, the

infrared.

166

00:15:56,041 --> 00:16:05,065

We have the Earth's natural native magnetic field, which is due to the molten iron core of

the Earth having these moving iron charges.

167

00:16:05,065 --> 00:16:10,027

Moving charges is what generates a magnetic field in nature.

168

00:16:10,027 --> 00:16:13,543

And that results in a static magnetic field.

169

00:16:13,543 --> 00:16:16,540

So we're talking about like direct current static.

170

00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:20,002

There's no frequency oscillations, but it also

171

00:16:20,002 --> 00:16:21,585

has some very

172

00:16:21,844 --> 00:16:25,136

low frequency pulsations that occur.

173

00:16:25,136 --> 00:16:36,081

We're talking about an electric field and then Schumann's resonance phenomenon people may

have heard of, which is the Earth's natural resonance as a result of natural

174

00:16:36,081 --> 00:16:41,953

electromagnetic waves resonating in the atmospheric cavity that exists.

175

00:16:41,953 --> 00:16:48,447

And that's happening at low frequency ranges as well, seven to 10 Hertz first harmonic.

176

00:16:48,447 --> 00:16:52,218

So we're talking about predominantly

177

00:16:52,248 --> 00:17:06,957

low frequency and then solar spectrum is what we would naturally be exposed to and now we

have kind of filled in the entire electromagnetic spectrum with radio frequency microwave

178

00:17:06,957 --> 00:17:15,501

exposures which microwaves and radio frequencies often operate at the same frequency band

they just have different

179

00:17:16,194 --> 00:17:23,340

They're a different form of communication, so they're called different names, but really

they are similar frequencies.

180

00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:31,347

And another thing that I've kind of been harping on more so is that it's not always just

about the frequency.

181

00:17:31,347 --> 00:17:35,670

The important thing is to understand how that wave...

182

00:17:35,784 --> 00:17:38,795

is really functioning, what's the purpose of it?

183

00:17:38,795 --> 00:17:51,031

And in order to use an electromagnetic wave for communication, we have to modulate it and

engineer it very heavily in order to carry data transmission.

184

00:17:51,031 --> 00:18:02,446

So that is something that research has also pointed to and that's potentially even more

concerning than the actual frequency itself, is how we're altering the wave in order to

185

00:18:02,446 --> 00:18:05,648

carry data transmission so that we can use telecommunications.

186

00:18:05,648 --> 00:18:19,142

Communications effectively because in nature there is no such thing as a highly pulsed

highly modulated wave It's it's continuous sunlight is continuous and all the information

187

00:18:19,142 --> 00:18:34,157

is carried in the photons and the energy and momentum of the wave itself and as opposed to

actually carrying binary digital information like That occurs with radio frequency

188

00:18:34,157 --> 00:18:35,208

transmissions.

189

00:18:35,208 --> 00:18:35,578

So that's

190

00:18:35,578 --> 00:18:47,651

a lot, I know, but I think high level understanding these different areas of the

electromagnetic spectrum, understanding they're all theoretically the same thing, photons,

191

00:18:47,651 --> 00:18:57,663

electromagnetic waves, they just have different characteristics in terms of energy,

frequency, and wavelength, and then how these man-made sources are far different from the

192

00:18:57,663 --> 00:18:58,713

native sources.

193

00:18:58,713 --> 00:19:04,590

It's not all EMFs are not bad, all light is not bad, it's just what is the source?

194

00:19:04,590 --> 00:19:06,130

What is the context?

195

00:19:06,130 --> 00:19:14,090

And most importantly, what are we designed as humans to take as an input signal to our

biology?

196

00:19:14,090 --> 00:19:22,990

And as an engineer, you you don't think about this as much if you're not an engineer, but

to me, everything is an input signal, whether it's the food we eat, the water we drink,

197

00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:33,294

the air we breathe, the electromagnetic inputs to me are, if maybe the most important,

because we're exposed to them 24, 7, 365 days a year.

198

00:19:33,294 --> 00:19:39,194

They're always present and they're really driving function at the lowest level.

199

00:19:39,414 --> 00:19:46,674

And you talk about biochemistry and, you know, like bonding and everything is really

contingent on like electron interactions.

200

00:19:46,674 --> 00:19:55,474

And we use electromagnetic fields for communication and executing cellular functions at

the lowest level.

201

00:19:55,474 --> 00:19:56,854

So to me,

202

00:19:57,164 --> 00:20:03,239

The other main takeaway is to just acknowledge that we are electromagnetic beings at the

lowest level.

203

00:20:03,239 --> 00:20:08,062

So our electromagnetic environment is of the utmost importance.

204

00:20:08,362 --> 00:20:08,903

Yeah.

205

00:20:08,903 --> 00:20:10,864

Okay, so podcast done.

206

00:20:12,025 --> 00:20:12,483

Thanks.

207

00:20:12,483 --> 00:20:13,377

No, that was amazing.

208

00:20:13,377 --> 00:20:15,869

And I'll definitely be relisting that myself.

209

00:20:15,869 --> 00:20:16,810

There was a lot there.

210

00:20:16,810 --> 00:20:20,053

But it's, like I mentioned earlier, it really is important.

211

00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:25,037

I think when we're talking about this subject in particular for people to have a grasp of

the fundamentals.

212

00:20:25,037 --> 00:20:26,258

So thank you.

213

00:20:26,739 --> 00:20:28,380

Yeah, that was that was perfect.

214

00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:33,795

I think a great place to sort of get into next would be would be EMS.

215

00:20:33,795 --> 00:20:35,306

But for those sorts of

216

00:20:35,644 --> 00:20:36,965

more interest in this topic.

217

00:20:36,965 --> 00:20:41,498

think a great starting point of further reading would be the Body Electric by Robert

O'Bekker.

218

00:20:41,498 --> 00:20:51,545

I think that's probably one of the the the the best sorts of comprehensive texts in the

space.

219

00:20:52,566 --> 00:20:52,971

Cool.

220

00:20:52,971 --> 00:20:59,296

It's a bit complex, so I would almost say that's like a third or a fourth book.

221

00:20:59,296 --> 00:21:00,897

I'm not gonna lie.

222

00:21:00,897 --> 00:21:01,957

There is...

223

00:21:02,464 --> 00:21:05,936

If you're not, even for me, I remember reading that for the first time.

224

00:21:05,936 --> 00:21:09,257

was like, whoa, this is a lot here that's going on.

225

00:21:09,257 --> 00:21:10,407

It's incredible.

226

00:21:10,407 --> 00:21:12,058

It's very eye opening.

227

00:21:12,919 --> 00:21:21,363

I think everyone should read the invisible rainbow first because that's like super high

level correlative.

228

00:21:21,363 --> 00:21:25,545

Arthur Furstenberg, the author actually just passed away a couple of weeks ago.

229

00:21:25,565 --> 00:21:26,439

Great guy.

230

00:21:26,439 --> 00:21:31,208

He's not like an engineer or scientist, so he keeps it really digestible.

231

00:21:31,208 --> 00:21:32,820

And then going deep

232

00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:41,761

with like Andrew Marino and then eventually getting Robert O'Becker actually has another

book called Cross Currents that almost no one reads.

233

00:21:41,761 --> 00:21:50,456

I think it's easier to read actually than Body Electric because it's less specific and

kind of high level but there's so many good ones.

234

00:21:50,456 --> 00:22:00,740

James Oshman, Energy Medicine, there's older books that have really been suppressed like

Zapping of America and

235

00:22:01,934 --> 00:22:03,594

There's a few others.

236

00:22:03,854 --> 00:22:06,534

Dirty Electricity from Sam Milham.

237

00:22:06,534 --> 00:22:09,614

They all have their own angles, but there's a lot out there.

238

00:22:09,614 --> 00:22:15,474

Most of them are very old, which is funny because this is not a new debate.

239

00:22:15,474 --> 00:22:20,034

This is actually one that's existed for 50, 60 years.

240

00:22:20,471 --> 00:22:21,281

that's perfect.

241

00:22:21,281 --> 00:22:26,032

Okay, so what I'll do is after this, maybe we can get a list of those and just I can throw

them in the show notes.

242

00:22:27,152 --> 00:22:29,983

I know we've got us, we have got a slight cap on today's time.

243

00:22:29,983 --> 00:22:44,957

So I just love to move forwards and maybe sort of jump straight into into EMFs and why

they potentially are the the issue that the issue that they are I know it's controversial

244

00:22:44,957 --> 00:22:46,958

and there's a lot on both sides.

245

00:22:48,224 --> 00:22:50,125

but sort of just diving straight into it.

246

00:22:50,125 --> 00:23:01,823

Obviously, I have a fairly surface level understanding of why these electromagnetic

frequencies are harmful.

247

00:23:01,823 --> 00:23:15,753

And at a high level, they alter the way calcium moves in and out of cells, something to do

with, I believe, around a concept with what is called a voltage gated calcium channel.

248

00:23:15,753 --> 00:23:17,674

Why is it tongue twisted, that one?

249

00:23:17,674 --> 00:23:20,378

But beyond that, I'll admit I'm fairly clueless.

250

00:23:20,378 --> 00:23:30,531

So for both myself and the listeners, could you maybe just again, run through how these

artificial fields, especially the EMFs and maybe dirty electricity as well, if you have

251

00:23:30,531 --> 00:23:36,018

time, are really affecting our biology and in a negative way.

252

00:23:36,844 --> 00:23:41,056

Yeah, and there's a lot of research that exists.

253

00:23:41,056 --> 00:23:42,897

There's a lot of hypotheses.

254

00:23:42,897 --> 00:23:46,349

You know, the voltage gated calcium channel is popularized by Dr.

255

00:23:46,349 --> 00:23:51,682

Martin Powell and has yet to be refuted is a great example, I think.

256

00:23:51,682 --> 00:24:00,546

But we don't need to go through every potential like at the cellular level because again,

what's important to understand here is that

257

00:24:00,652 --> 00:24:08,735

Fundamentally, our body is electromagnetic at the lowest level, so it's using

electron-photon interactions.

258

00:24:08,735 --> 00:24:12,787

It's using electromagnetic fields to execute functions.

259

00:24:13,047 --> 00:24:26,643

You can look at the mitochondria themselves, what they even are, to drive home this point

that we are using the energy from electrons to pump protons into a gradient to create a

260

00:24:26,643 --> 00:24:29,432

difference in potential in protons.

261

00:24:29,432 --> 00:24:40,636

proton energy, is proton voltage, to then subsequently drive a nanomotor, the ATP

synthase, to produce ATP.

262

00:24:42,226 --> 00:24:55,913

and water and that really is the most like electromagnetic thing that occurs and when that

motor is spinning because it's a rotational motion it has moving charge flowing through it

263

00:24:55,913 --> 00:25:07,398

it's actually generating its own magnetic field and that magnetic field is attracting the

final electron acceptor in complex four of the electron transport chain oxygen because

264

00:25:07,398 --> 00:25:12,080

it's paramagnetic so that that whole process i just described is

265

00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:13,081

electromagnetic.

266

00:25:13,081 --> 00:25:23,329

We have these voltage-gated ion channels that have very sensitive voltage sensors that can

be triggered by very low intensity fields.

267

00:25:23,329 --> 00:25:31,062

So that is the whole voltage-gated calcium channel effect and that has the ability to have

268

00:25:31,062 --> 00:25:43,668

Calcium efflux into the cell which can increase reactive oxygen species to you know,

really a level that's not meant to be there but reactive oxygen species at a high level

269

00:25:43,668 --> 00:25:46,939

are very Electromagnetic because they're they're free radicals.

270

00:25:46,939 --> 00:26:00,356

They are looking for an electron to fill their their valence shell and be more stable

again And when they are in that reactive state, they're very paramagnetic as well.

271

00:26:00,356 --> 00:26:01,036

So they're very

272

00:26:01,036 --> 00:26:15,906

sensitive to magnetic fields and this is where the whole hypothesis of radical pair

mechanism comes in to play if anyone has delved down the rabbit hole of magneto reception

273

00:26:15,906 --> 00:26:22,810

and how all species are able to circumnavigate the earth to some capacity

274

00:26:23,406 --> 00:26:28,129

in regards to sensing the Earth's natural magnetic field and how that occurs.

275

00:26:28,129 --> 00:26:38,894

And there's some fascinating research there that's kind of showing that even weak, very

weak magnetic field, so a key component to understand is the Earth's natural magnetic

276

00:26:38,894 --> 00:26:42,076

field is very weak in intensity.

277

00:26:42,196 --> 00:26:45,612

And what researchers can't figure out,

278

00:26:45,612 --> 00:26:57,245

the whole debate is how are these weak magnetic fields, these weak EMFs actually affecting

our biology because the research shows that it does and sometimes it's a nonlinear dose

279

00:26:57,245 --> 00:27:03,928

dependent response to where a slightly weaker field can actually have a greater biological

effect.

280

00:27:03,928 --> 00:27:12,250

And a big potential reason for that is this radical pair mechanism and how we use

reactivate oxygen species to

281

00:27:12,384 --> 00:27:17,386

drive cellular communication, how the mitochondria are really a hub for cellular

communication.

282

00:27:17,386 --> 00:27:27,721

And you get into the whole conversation of why taking antioxidants as supplements is

somewhat foolish because then you're, you're blunting your own cellular communication.

283

00:27:27,721 --> 00:27:38,756

So for me at a higher level, that was kind of delving into some examples and case studies

in terms of ion channels and the mitochondrial membrane and radical pairs and free

284

00:27:38,756 --> 00:27:39,667

radicals.

285

00:27:39,667 --> 00:27:42,520

But at a high level, if we're using

286

00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:51,926

electromagnetic fields, charged particles to communicate, to drive biological functions at

the cellular level.

287

00:27:51,926 --> 00:27:57,549

And we all of a sudden have this very alien environment electromagnetically.

288

00:27:57,670 --> 00:28:02,133

We call that in engineering electromagnetic interference.

289

00:28:02,133 --> 00:28:09,297

And there is specific definitions to where it depends on the frequencies and the phase of

the waves.

290

00:28:09,297 --> 00:28:10,838

But at a high level,

291

00:28:10,838 --> 00:28:22,108

electromagnetic interference to me is what's going on at the cellular level biologically

because our body is getting confused in terms of the input signal.

292

00:28:22,108 --> 00:28:33,078

It's executing functions, it's releasing molecules, it's alternating radical response

because of this non-native electromagnetic environment and thus.

293

00:28:33,132 --> 00:28:34,684

doing things incorrectly.

294

00:28:34,684 --> 00:28:41,570

It is causing biological chaos at the cellular level, which is really, you know,

inflammation.

295

00:28:41,911 --> 00:28:48,679

And I think that's kind of the main downstream response of electromagnetic fields.

296

00:28:48,679 --> 00:28:55,806

And if you look at the studies, a lot of them that exist, they just say that

electromagnetic fields...

297

00:28:55,806 --> 00:29:08,778

are stressors and they cause oxidative stress and oxidative stress is this imbalance of

know redox and reactive oxygen species getting out of control and really executing the

298

00:29:08,778 --> 00:29:12,941

wrong functions so I think electromagnetic fields are

299

00:29:13,706 --> 00:29:18,348

inducing interference at the lowest level of our biology.

300

00:29:18,348 --> 00:29:24,131

And that's causing, you know, downstream cellular damage and inflammation because of that.

301

00:29:24,131 --> 00:29:38,217

And you could also call that another term in engineering we use is quantifying the input

signals or the quality of communication of a system really is known as the signal to noise

302

00:29:38,217 --> 00:29:39,038

ratio.

303

00:29:39,038 --> 00:29:44,052

And what you want in a system is to have a high signal to noise ratio.

304

00:29:44,052 --> 00:29:52,377

and the signal is the input signals that you want that are important that are driving the

functions of the system properly.

305

00:29:52,377 --> 00:30:03,333

And when you have noise on the line or that's radio frequencies, whether it's dirty

electricity, whether that's power magnetic fields, you are going to distort the signal

306

00:30:03,333 --> 00:30:08,606

that you want to receive that's driving biological functions for optimal health.

307

00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,111

And that's to me where we live right now.

308

00:30:11,111 --> 00:30:17,272

We live in an environment that has a very low signal to noise ratio.

309

00:30:17,512 --> 00:30:23,254

And that is because we are just consuming so many alien electromagnetic inputs.

310

00:30:23,254 --> 00:30:30,956

You can add in the artificial light to that conversation, which is then driving circadian

rhythm to be dysfunctional.

311

00:30:30,956 --> 00:30:37,458

And if you have a timing of a system that is off, then everything is going to be off.

312

00:30:37,458 --> 00:30:38,728

And it's not just

313

00:30:38,728 --> 00:30:42,001

visible light that drives circadian rhythms.

314

00:30:42,001 --> 00:30:53,713

Many researchers and studies have shown that the Earth's natural magnetic field is also

extremely important to drive a proper functioning circadian rhythm.

315

00:30:53,713 --> 00:31:02,541

So all of a sudden we have all of these alien low frequency magnetic field exposures and

almost

316

00:31:02,984 --> 00:31:16,301

no one is connected to the earth physically anymore, so we have a very weak or very low

signal to noise ratio in terms of the earth's natural magnetic field, which is causing a

317

00:31:16,301 --> 00:31:21,804

negative effect on our circadian rhythms and timing biologically as well.

318

00:31:21,804 --> 00:31:32,290

So those are a few examples that I would give in terms of how it's affecting our biology,

and to me, we don't know.

319

00:31:32,608 --> 00:31:39,631

everything we have just scratched the surface of researching electromagnetism in our

biology.

320

00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:52,365

Actually, a lot of this research has been done years and years ago and it's now like kind

of bringing it back to what should be researched again or reopened.

321

00:31:52,446 --> 00:31:53,698

But for me,

322

00:31:53,698 --> 00:31:55,549

Those are kind of the key concepts.

323

00:31:55,549 --> 00:32:06,397

And if you understand that the mitochondria are kind of the most important aspect of our

biology, and you see that the most mitochondrial dense tissue, the eyes, the brain, the

324

00:32:06,397 --> 00:32:11,450

heart, are really the most affected in modern chronic.

325

00:32:11,830 --> 00:32:13,571

inflammatory environments.

326

00:32:13,571 --> 00:32:16,212

It's because they're the most electromagnetically driven.

327

00:32:16,212 --> 00:32:19,793

They're the most energy dense areas of our body.

328

00:32:19,914 --> 00:32:27,337

And I think EMFs and artificial electromagnetic exposures are driving that.

329

00:32:27,337 --> 00:32:39,723

And you can get down to the nitty gritty of how sperm function or how your heart is

actually functioning at the lowest level, or you can keep it kind of high level.

330

00:32:39,723 --> 00:32:41,834

And even higher level is

331

00:32:41,834 --> 00:32:45,296

Hey, we use an electrocardiogram to measure heart activity.

332

00:32:45,296 --> 00:32:47,707

We use an electroencephalogram to measure brain activity.

333

00:32:47,707 --> 00:32:51,889

We use an MRI to find tumors and torn ACLs.

334

00:32:51,889 --> 00:33:02,013

So there's a lot of acknowledgement that electromagnetism is driving our biology, but

there's no acknowledgement that the electromagnetic environment around us is negatively

335

00:33:02,013 --> 00:33:03,133

affecting us.

336

00:33:03,754 --> 00:33:07,416

Yeah, no, it's you touched on so much then.

337

00:33:07,416 --> 00:33:10,398

And again, I wish we had all day to go through this.

338

00:33:10,858 --> 00:33:23,225

Ultimately, I think it's it ties in very much into something which is which I'm very

interested in, which is the cell danger response, and specifically how when threatened

339

00:33:23,225 --> 00:33:29,649

mitochondria become at a very high level less effective at creating ATP, creating energy.

340

00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:31,669

And oftentimes, I

341

00:33:31,669 --> 00:33:44,224

Well, I know that most practitioners, most people suffering or struggling with a specific

health concern will look at every conceivable possibility for why that cell danger

342

00:33:44,224 --> 00:33:48,005

response is heightened, why those mitochondria aren't functioning properly.

343

00:33:48,005 --> 00:34:01,556

So people look at toxins, people look at potential infections, you name it, a poor

micronutrient or a macronutrient ratio.

344

00:34:01,556 --> 00:34:14,764

But yeah, I think it's especially as we have become a more technologically sort of evolved

society, I think that well, I firmly believe anyway, and I'm obviously speculating that

345

00:34:14,764 --> 00:34:26,430

these non native EMFs really are driving that cell dendrosponse as well and driving this

mitochondrial dysfunction, which at its core, I believe anyway, is what is primarily

346

00:34:26,430 --> 00:34:29,742

responsible for for most disease.

347

00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:35,075

at the end of the day, there's, there are different triggers, there are different reasons

for this happening.

348

00:34:35,075 --> 00:34:38,498

But yeah, that's ultimately it.

349

00:34:38,498 --> 00:34:46,004

When your mitochondria don't function, they don't produce enough energy cells don't divide

properly, they don't reproduce properly.

350

00:34:46,004 --> 00:34:51,508

And then you end up with and they don't communicate properly, which is something you

alluded to several times.

351

00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:54,561

Anyway, moving on.

352

00:34:54,561 --> 00:34:57,193

Yeah, no, I'd love to sort of

353

00:34:59,146 --> 00:35:03,352

Yeah, get your take on maybe what the most...

354

00:35:06,078 --> 00:35:13,051

objectively the most common sources of these EMFs that people can sort of look at as being

potential triggers.

355

00:35:13,051 --> 00:35:24,106

Obviously you have your your Wi-Fi routers and your mobile phones but what about things

like dirty electricity and do you think that's as much of an issue as well?

356

00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:25,620

Yeah, great points.

357

00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:28,092

And the CDR is so important as well.

358

00:35:28,092 --> 00:35:38,686

think another thing to drive home for people just before moving on is that when you're in

this electromagnetic environment that is negatively affecting your biology, it's inducing

359

00:35:38,686 --> 00:35:39,727

a cell danger response.

360

00:35:39,727 --> 00:35:44,789

It's basically keeping your nervous system in this sympathetic dominant state.

361

00:35:44,789 --> 00:35:46,350

So you're always on edge.

362

00:35:46,350 --> 00:35:47,891

You're always in fight or flight.

363

00:35:47,891 --> 00:35:50,382

You're always in cell danger response.

364

00:35:50,382 --> 00:35:53,403

And that is extremely taxing on your body.

365

00:35:53,403 --> 00:35:55,197

It's energetically draining.

366

00:35:55,197 --> 00:36:04,254

You wonder why everyone has chronic fatigue and needs all these stimulants to make it

through the day and then you wonder why chronic disease proliferates is because the main

367

00:36:04,254 --> 00:36:13,611

takeaway of cell danger response and I love that work at the mitochondrial level is that

you cannot heal when you are in CDR.

368

00:36:13,611 --> 00:36:17,114

Your body is not resilient when you are in CDR.

369

00:36:17,114 --> 00:36:24,620

You need to get your body to a point where it can actually take a deep breath, be in a

parasympathetic state and

370

00:36:24,620 --> 00:36:30,884

execute functions to handle the toxic load because we can handle toxic exposures.

371

00:36:30,884 --> 00:36:35,297

And that's where people are always like, modern biohackers are idiots.

372

00:36:35,297 --> 00:36:39,750

My grandpa lived to 110 smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey every day.

373

00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:40,411

Yeah.

374

00:36:40,411 --> 00:36:43,233

But then your grandpa was also working outside.

375

00:36:43,233 --> 00:36:49,477

He grew up in an environment that had minimal non-native EMF exposure, minimal artificial

light.

376

00:36:49,477 --> 00:36:51,178

They still use incandescents.

377

00:36:51,178 --> 00:36:54,840

So they still were able to go through

378

00:36:54,840 --> 00:37:02,796

the healing cycle and have Restoration at nighttime, especially and that's where we're

disrupting our sleep.

379

00:37:02,796 --> 00:37:15,314

We're staying in CDR We're never repairing cellular damage anymore So it's catching up to

us far faster and to me the electromagnetic pollution is a large reason for that So

380

00:37:15,314 --> 00:37:24,430

getting into the exposures of what you can do That's a great transition because I think

you should prioritize your sleep environment of the

381

00:37:24,430 --> 00:37:27,842

upmost importance because that's something you can actually control.

382

00:37:27,842 --> 00:37:36,264

So the unfortunate thing about electromagnetism in the fields and the waves we're exposed

to is that a lot of it you can't control.

383

00:37:36,264 --> 00:37:39,290

A lot of it you just need to use technology, right?

384

00:37:39,290 --> 00:37:40,571

And technology is great.

385

00:37:40,571 --> 00:37:45,494

We're doing this podcast because of technology on other sides of the planet.

386

00:37:45,494 --> 00:37:46,575

It's incredible.

387

00:37:46,575 --> 00:37:48,696

But in real time too.

388

00:37:48,696 --> 00:37:54,282

But and we have jobs, but you can't really always optimize for that.

389

00:37:54,282 --> 00:37:57,753

can put distance between yourself and the technology.

390

00:37:57,753 --> 00:38:08,696

That's the most important thing you can do on a day-to-day real-time way is using distance

as your best friend because inverse square law states that when you double the distance

391

00:38:08,696 --> 00:38:15,537

between you and the source of the EMFs, then you will reduce the field intensity by that

distance squared.

392

00:38:15,537 --> 00:38:17,954

So that's your best friend.

393

00:38:17,954 --> 00:38:26,704

During the day, try not to hold it next to your brain, on your body, your phone is really

the largest source of EMFs by far.

394

00:38:26,805 --> 00:38:36,137

Yes, everything else matters, the cell phone tower, the wifi network, the outlet with

dirty electricity, but guess what you can do about that stuff?

395

00:38:36,137 --> 00:38:37,358

Not that much.

396

00:38:37,358 --> 00:38:49,198

you can really move the needle on how you hold and use your cell phone, which is the

highest power density device in terms of output signal for an RF wave.

397

00:38:49,198 --> 00:38:50,878

It's the closest to you.

398

00:38:50,878 --> 00:38:52,278

You use it the most.

399

00:38:52,278 --> 00:38:55,418

So be very intentional about how you use your phone.

400

00:38:55,418 --> 00:39:01,812

An easy one that literally anyone can do is turn off a

401

00:39:01,812 --> 00:39:04,444

cellular data communication on your phone.

402

00:39:04,444 --> 00:39:08,187

Just keep it on airplane mode and only use Wi-Fi.

403

00:39:08,187 --> 00:39:15,232

Most people walk around, they have both Wi-Fi on and they have the cellular data on.

404

00:39:15,232 --> 00:39:18,404

Nowadays, they do the same exact thing.

405

00:39:18,404 --> 00:39:22,297

You can make calls from Wi-Fi, you can send texts from Wi-Fi, even SMS.

406

00:39:22,297 --> 00:39:29,201

So you're basically pinging two different frequencies, actually not even two, because

Wi-Fi has two frequencies.

407

00:39:29,878 --> 00:39:33,863

The cellular data network has many frequencies.

408

00:39:33,863 --> 00:39:44,577

So when you are just using both networks, you're getting exposed to a multitude of

different waves and frequencies for pretty much no reason because you're only trying to

409

00:39:44,577 --> 00:39:45,337

do.

410

00:39:45,350 --> 00:39:46,090

one task.

411

00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:49,932

You're only trying to make a call or a text or search the internet.

412

00:39:49,932 --> 00:39:57,016

So for me, my phone is only off airplane mode if I am traveling and not connected to

Wi-Fi.

413

00:39:57,016 --> 00:40:04,739

If I'm at home on Wi-Fi or out of friends or at an office, I have it on airplane mode and

then I have it in Wi-Fi.

414

00:40:04,739 --> 00:40:14,804

So, and then if I'm not using it, I will turn that Wi-Fi off so it's fully in airplane

mode for walking around, having it in my pocket, etc.

415

00:40:14,804 --> 00:40:15,214

And then

416

00:40:15,214 --> 00:40:22,289

try to keep my laptop hardwired because that is a EMF exposure.

417

00:40:22,289 --> 00:40:25,771

When you hardwire your internet, you're not getting any wireless exposure.

418

00:40:25,771 --> 00:40:32,916

It's all wired through the datacom ethernet cord, which I know is really inconvenient and

most people aren't going to do.

419

00:40:32,916 --> 00:40:37,059

But that's an example of how you can use your phone more intentionally.

420

00:40:37,059 --> 00:40:45,184

And then if you can use your laptop for more functions, especially if it's hardwired,

you're going to be better off.

421

00:40:45,544 --> 00:40:48,997

But that's like simple stuff and then at nighttime, right?

422

00:40:48,997 --> 00:40:52,410

Like during the day, that's kind of the best you can do.

423

00:40:52,410 --> 00:41:09,062

At nighttime, turn your wifi off, get your phone out of your bedroom, unplug every

ungrounded piece of just decor, electronics, TV, anything in your bedroom.

424

00:41:09,102 --> 00:41:19,222

get it out of there because that is all radiating EMFs while you're sleeping, which is the

most important time period because that's when you need to be restoring and repairing your

425

00:41:19,222 --> 00:41:25,802

cells with autophagy, apoptosis, so that you can handle this toxic burden.

426

00:41:25,802 --> 00:41:28,122

I turn the circuit breaker to my bedroom off.

427

00:41:28,122 --> 00:41:32,102

That's a bit extreme, but at least you don't need the wifi on at night.

428

00:41:32,102 --> 00:41:36,602

You don't need your phone on next to your head when you sleep.

429

00:41:36,684 --> 00:41:39,196

That is not necessary.

430

00:41:39,236 --> 00:41:45,701

Being reachable at all moments of the day is really unhealthy from many different

perspectives.

431

00:41:45,822 --> 00:41:50,206

And to me, those are the biggest needles you can move is what's in your immediate

environment.

432

00:41:50,206 --> 00:41:53,529

You can't move the cell tower 200 meters away.

433

00:41:53,529 --> 00:41:57,252

You can't really change power lines.

434

00:41:57,252 --> 00:42:04,084

You can't really like fix electrical power too well in terms of your house and how it's

set up.

435

00:42:04,084 --> 00:42:04,802

it, yeah.

436

00:42:04,802 --> 00:42:10,297

but you can put distance between you and the source and you can turn things off at night.

437

00:42:11,136 --> 00:42:12,976

Yeah.

438

00:42:12,976 --> 00:42:16,267

Just quickly, you've got about 15 minutes, is that right?

439

00:42:16,347 --> 00:42:16,808

Cool.

440

00:42:16,808 --> 00:42:19,808

I just want to know where we can go from here.

441

00:42:19,808 --> 00:42:22,749

Okay, Luke, obviously you will, we'll cut this out.

442

00:42:22,749 --> 00:42:23,749

Okay.

443

00:42:23,770 --> 00:42:24,650

Yeah, thanks.

444

00:42:24,650 --> 00:42:29,531

Those are perfect, simple takeaways that I think most people can do.

445

00:42:29,531 --> 00:42:39,894

And I know a lot of them sound convenient and I know a lot of them can be a pain, but if

your health is important to you, then they aren't sacrifices that really are.

446

00:42:40,234 --> 00:42:41,004

that much to ask.

447

00:42:41,004 --> 00:42:44,175

mean, you can also hardwire your phone into your computer.

448

00:42:44,175 --> 00:42:55,939

You can buy a pretty simple and cheap USB to ethnic adapter off Amazon for pretty much any

phone.

449

00:42:55,939 --> 00:43:03,201

And then you can hardwire that into your computer and utilize your internet connection for

your phone as well.

450

00:43:03,201 --> 00:43:06,672

So there are easy ways and they are...

451

00:43:06,672 --> 00:43:08,093

you adapt them quite quickly.

452

00:43:08,093 --> 00:43:09,923

At least that's been my experience.

453

00:43:09,923 --> 00:43:19,747

It doesn't take long to sort of just chain, make these small habits and changes, I should

say, and then you do adapt them quite quickly.

454

00:43:22,008 --> 00:43:27,950

Yeah, I'd love to now sort of get into your work with daylight, Tristan, something that I

know

455

00:43:30,767 --> 00:43:40,056

You really sort of got into, as you mentioned about a year and a half ago, I think it was

around the time we met at Hoss last year.

456

00:43:40,438 --> 00:43:48,306

Can you sort of briefly explain to everybody what Daylight's about, your involvement and

why it's such an exciting project?

457

00:43:49,324 --> 00:43:53,526

Yeah, my involvement, I'm head of operations and marketing now.

458

00:43:53,526 --> 00:44:06,642

So spending all my waking energy into this mission because I think it's the most important

company in the world to succeed because I think technology is the largest unaddressed

459

00:44:06,642 --> 00:44:08,623

toxin in our environment.

460

00:44:08,623 --> 00:44:13,966

And that's a result of the light, the EMFs that they emit.

461

00:44:13,966 --> 00:44:19,248

The fact that they keep us indoors away from the right input signals that are

462

00:44:19,248 --> 00:44:28,484

biology needs, the fact that they're designed to be addictive, and the fact that we're

using them more and more each passing year at a younger and younger age.

463

00:44:28,484 --> 00:44:39,431

And children, that's where I'm most concerned because they are the most sensitive to these

electromagnetic inputs, like five, 10, potentially 100 times more sensitive depending on

464

00:44:39,431 --> 00:44:42,534

their age and body size to a full grown adult.

465

00:44:42,534 --> 00:44:43,884

And that's the real tragedy.

466

00:44:43,884 --> 00:44:49,448

That's the real science experiment here that we are kind of on an uncharted path for.

467

00:44:49,448 --> 00:44:52,690

to finding out what the repercussions of that are.

468

00:44:52,690 --> 00:44:56,453

So yeah, our mission at Daylight is very simple.

469

00:44:56,453 --> 00:45:07,359

How do we build healthier technology to once again bring out human flourishing instead of

detracting from the human experience?

470

00:45:07,359 --> 00:45:17,166

How do we design technology to just be a tool so you can be productive, so you can get

work done that's more synergistic with our natural environments that also bring out the

471

00:45:17,166 --> 00:45:18,046

best?

472

00:45:18,158 --> 00:45:26,081

in humanity because the current devices are designed to keep us on screen longer and

they're no longer just tools.

473

00:45:26,081 --> 00:45:40,648

They are really kind of highly thought through products to keep you sucked into an

artificial reality and keep you away from the actual reality that we're meant to live in.

474

00:45:40,648 --> 00:45:42,709

And this is very dangerous.

475

00:45:42,709 --> 00:45:44,690

for us, you know, we

476

00:45:44,782 --> 00:46:00,702

Invented a new display technology that enables this mission We have a tablet the daily

computer one is our first product came out last May and it has a very fast refresh e-paper

477

00:46:00,702 --> 00:46:13,482

electronic paper display technology that we call live paper so imagine your Kindle can all

of a sudden do everything that an iPad can do or a advanced Android tablet the

478

00:46:13,614 --> 00:46:24,274

breakthrough is the display technology to where you can get this very fast snappy analog

feel of digital paper that is reflective at its core.

479

00:46:24,274 --> 00:46:25,914

It can be brought outside.

480

00:46:25,914 --> 00:46:29,334

It looks better in sunlight, has extremely long battery life.

481

00:46:29,334 --> 00:46:38,294

And then in a low light nighttime environment, we custom made a backlight to be 100 % blue

light free and also flicker free.

482

00:46:38,294 --> 00:46:41,826

So you can look at the device before bed.

483

00:46:41,826 --> 00:46:54,150

without disrupting your circadian rhythm to such a high degree without straining your eyes

because flicker is one of the worst kind of characteristics of light coming from devices

484

00:46:54,150 --> 00:46:58,352

and artificial sources that a lot of people aren't aware about.

485

00:46:58,452 --> 00:47:00,363

And it's absolutely unnecessary.

486

00:47:00,363 --> 00:47:03,113

And we got rid of that.

487

00:47:03,134 --> 00:47:04,654

And it's just about.

488

00:47:05,006 --> 00:47:15,986

allowing people to be more intentional with their time spent on devices so that they can

just be productive, look up what they need to, send the message that they need to, get the

489

00:47:15,986 --> 00:47:21,306

work done that they need to without all of a sudden be distracted, spend more time on

there.

490

00:47:21,306 --> 00:47:24,326

So we designed this to be somewhat boring.

491

00:47:24,326 --> 00:47:33,406

We designed it to be somewhat easy to just hop on and hop off so that you can spend the

rest of your time

492

00:47:33,472 --> 00:47:37,850

with real people in real environments for real fulfillment.

493

00:47:37,850 --> 00:47:42,378

So yeah, that's kind of what we're doing and it's really exciting.

494

00:47:42,378 --> 00:47:46,384

Early support has been incredible and we're just getting started.

495

00:47:46,487 --> 00:47:48,527

Yeah, no, it's an amazing product.

496

00:47:48,527 --> 00:47:52,367

I had the opportunity to play around with it at Haas last year again.

497

00:47:52,427 --> 00:47:53,747

And yeah, I'm sold.

498

00:47:53,747 --> 00:47:57,567

Definitely got to pull the trigger on one and I will do shortly, I promise.

499

00:47:59,907 --> 00:48:06,487

Tristan, again, I want to be aware of time, but do you mind if we just end off with a few

rapid fire questions?

500

00:48:07,827 --> 00:48:08,727

Cool.

501

00:48:10,814 --> 00:48:13,087

Let's start with PMF devices.

502

00:48:13,087 --> 00:48:14,539

What are your thoughts here?

503

00:48:14,540 --> 00:48:19,336

We've had a whole discussion about electromagnetism, so I'd be interested to get your

thoughts.

504

00:48:21,366 --> 00:48:22,926

You

505

00:48:23,596 --> 00:48:26,339

I'm gonna say this as a blanket statement.

506

00:48:26,339 --> 00:48:33,846

We don't really know that much about how electromagnetic fields are affecting our biology.

507

00:48:33,966 --> 00:48:42,286

There is certainly potential for a hormetic response in low dose amounts, just like other

stressors biologically.

508

00:48:42,286 --> 00:48:55,366

A lot of the research on EMFs, RFs, power frequencies, the negative repercussions are

coming from chronic levels of exposure, chronic durations of exposure, I should say.

509

00:48:55,366 --> 00:49:03,246

So 24 hours, 36 hours, 72, multiple weeks, 10 hours a day for a couple of weeks, that sort

of type of exposure.

510

00:49:03,308 --> 00:49:08,350

PEMFs and other hormetic responses are much shorter in duration.

511

00:49:08,350 --> 00:49:12,903

So potentially they could have biological effects that are positive.

512

00:49:12,903 --> 00:49:24,978

However, I'll be very wary of that because I've not discussed something that is really

important to understand is that magnetic fields, electromagnetic fields, they are

513

00:49:24,978 --> 00:49:26,649

extremely complex.

514

00:49:26,649 --> 00:49:33,264

They not only have a frequency, they have an intensity, they have a directionality and

they interact with each

515

00:49:33,264 --> 00:49:41,308

other to form resonance phenomenon and with molecules in our biology as well in resonance

phenomenon.

516

00:49:41,308 --> 00:49:53,174

So your environment, how your alien EMF environment is interacting with the Earth's

magnetic field in your exact location could

517

00:49:53,428 --> 00:49:59,331

induce a different response depending exactly where you are and what that environment is

like.

518

00:49:59,331 --> 00:50:08,025

So me and you, although you're at a further north latitude, I'm in North America, we have

different magnetic field exposures right now.

519

00:50:08,025 --> 00:50:12,647

We're not getting exposed to the same earth's magnetic field and it's different time.

520

00:50:12,647 --> 00:50:18,370

And that time of day actually changes the intensity of the earth's magnetic field as well.

521

00:50:18,370 --> 00:50:23,452

So there is way too many variables for anyone to confidently say

522

00:50:23,452 --> 00:50:28,735

this frequency in this PEMF mat does this.

523

00:50:28,796 --> 00:50:34,339

I can say that from an electromagnetic perspective pretty confidently.

524

00:50:34,339 --> 00:50:43,856

Now that doesn't mean that anecdotal evidence and kind of what they have found over years,

there are quote unquote healing frequencies for sure and a lot of them have to do with

525

00:50:43,856 --> 00:50:47,888

harmonics and resonance of molecules in our biology.

526

00:50:47,888 --> 00:50:50,430

But I would just be wary of

527

00:50:50,636 --> 00:51:02,717

people hopping on a trend and selling you something to make you better when all of the

solutions that can make you better are far more accessible and low cost if you just

528

00:51:02,717 --> 00:51:04,692

embrace nature a bit more.

529

00:51:04,692 --> 00:51:07,544

Yeah, it's the gut microbiome argument all over again.

530

00:51:07,544 --> 00:51:08,815

We don't know what we don't know.

531

00:51:08,815 --> 00:51:12,188

There's no point in playing around with it just yet, perhaps.

532

00:51:12,748 --> 00:51:14,690

Okay, another quick one, perhaps.

533

00:51:14,690 --> 00:51:18,833

What do you think of these newer communication protocols such as Li-Fi?

534

00:51:18,833 --> 00:51:25,110

Do you think that those will take hold or is the tech there just a bit too complicated to

make work?

535

00:51:25,110 --> 00:51:26,981

Yeah, I've been going down this rabbit hole.

536

00:51:26,981 --> 00:51:28,722

so glad you asked a bit more.

537

00:51:28,722 --> 00:51:35,605

So, Li-Fi, the premise is it's using infrared terahertz wavelengths for communication.

538

00:51:35,605 --> 00:51:43,339

So, the premise there is infrared light is something that is not fully alien to our

biology, right?

539

00:51:43,339 --> 00:51:44,429

Radio frequencies are.

540

00:51:44,429 --> 00:51:49,261

We've never been exposed to 2.4 gigahertz waves until we invented them.

541

00:51:49,261 --> 00:51:52,303

And now we're just being sprayed with them all day long.

542

00:51:52,303 --> 00:51:55,437

Whereas infrared, we do take that in from the sun.

543

00:51:55,437 --> 00:51:57,360

and we have for millions of years.

544

00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,248

But there's a caveat and that's what I talked about earlier.

545

00:52:01,248 --> 00:52:08,341

We still don't know what's more important, the frequency or the actual way the wave is

modulated.

546

00:52:08,341 --> 00:52:16,015

So in order to have an infrared live fi communication, we will still have to modulate that

wave.

547

00:52:16,015 --> 00:52:25,149

Now the thing with live fi, infrared and higher frequency communications is they have to

be far more targeted beams because they're higher frequency.

548

00:52:25,149 --> 00:52:29,641

Same thing with 5G and talk about 5G millimeter waves and 5G.

549

00:52:29,641 --> 00:52:31,492

They have a very narrow

550

00:52:31,492 --> 00:52:37,973

So the Wi-Fi, let's say, in your room or my house right now is like just being sprayed

everywhere.

551

00:52:37,973 --> 00:52:40,356

It's reflecting off walls, blah, blah.

552

00:52:40,356 --> 00:52:50,531

Millimeter waves, the only reason they exist in downtown areas only and metropolitan

areas, which is a good thing if you don't live in a big city, is because they have a

553

00:52:50,531 --> 00:52:51,411

horrible range.

554

00:52:51,411 --> 00:52:53,984

They only go like 100 yards without getting...

555

00:52:53,984 --> 00:52:57,276

Interrupted and dissipated in the atmosphere in the air.

556

00:52:57,276 --> 00:53:09,753

So it has to be very narrow higher power density So if you think about live by even higher

frequency even more sensitive to being kind of disrupted It would have to be something

557

00:53:09,753 --> 00:53:21,609

very narrow which could be good because imagine you have like a live by box on your

ceiling and it's just shooting at my laptop and if you were not in that

558

00:53:22,484 --> 00:53:29,017

line of sight for that electromagnetic wave, then potentially you wouldn't get any

exposure at all.

559

00:53:29,017 --> 00:53:38,351

So if you could set something up to where it is purely avoiding a person in terms of that

beam path, then that might be the way to go.

560

00:53:38,351 --> 00:53:46,345

And then it doesn't matter if the modulated signal is not affecting or is affecting our

biology negatively because it's far more targeted.

561

00:53:46,345 --> 00:53:50,117

However, how does that that works pretty well in your home?

562

00:53:50,117 --> 00:53:52,108

I think live five, I mean,

563

00:53:52,340 --> 00:53:55,642

daylight, we're going to investigate this for sure.

564

00:53:55,642 --> 00:53:59,613

Because at home, that could be the solution really easily.

565

00:53:59,613 --> 00:54:04,536

Just targeted Wi-Fi or infrared terahertz communication boxes.

566

00:54:04,536 --> 00:54:07,297

Because I understand no one's going to hardwire the internet.

567

00:54:07,297 --> 00:54:09,028

It's extremely inconvenient.

568

00:54:09,028 --> 00:54:15,171

Even me, I kind of do it 90 % of the way because it's so inconvenient.

569

00:54:15,171 --> 00:54:21,654

But if you go out into the world, that will never work because infrared terahertz waves

570

00:54:21,710 --> 00:54:22,214

sunlight.

571

00:54:22,214 --> 00:54:27,776

gonna work for if you're driving in the middle of nowhere or you're like on the move.

572

00:54:27,776 --> 00:54:36,699

It's just, it's gonna be too much effort unless you're in a highly concentrated downtown

area and then you're gonna be just assaulted with these beams.

573

00:54:36,699 --> 00:54:47,782

So that might be a bad thing, but I am bullish on investigating other modalities, other

areas of the electromagnetic spectrum for wireless technology.

574

00:54:47,946 --> 00:54:49,207

Yeah, no, it's exciting.

575

00:54:49,207 --> 00:54:52,868

It's something I've been diving into a lot recently as well.

576

00:54:53,069 --> 00:55:01,099

As you mentioned, I think the biggest problem is maybe the logistical one, but hopefully

that will sort of come to pass in the next couple of years and there'll be some solutions

577

00:55:01,099 --> 00:55:01,570

there.

578

00:55:01,570 --> 00:55:05,546

Okay, last one, then we can ask where people can find you.

579

00:55:05,546 --> 00:55:12,159

I'm all about getting rid of EMFs as much as possible.

580

00:55:12,220 --> 00:55:17,122

However, these pendants and shields that are being promoted, I have very little faith in.

581

00:55:17,246 --> 00:55:22,529

All the evidence that people proclaim to have seems to be in-house.

582

00:55:22,529 --> 00:55:25,470

There are very few real peer-reviewed RCTs.

583

00:55:25,470 --> 00:55:33,364

What do you think of these pendants and necklaces and doohickeys that report to block all

EMFs?

584

00:55:33,868 --> 00:55:38,502

Yeah, they're, they're sales products.

585

00:55:38,502 --> 00:55:41,664

They're heavily marketed products.

586

00:55:41,665 --> 00:55:57,299

I always open the door for potential reasons that are not of this comprehension to have a

positive effect, like some very esoteric quantum phenomenon.

587

00:55:57,299 --> 00:56:01,442

But here's, here's the classical physics fact.

588

00:56:01,694 --> 00:56:06,898

If you have a pendant, says it's neutralizing or harmonizing EMFs.

589

00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:08,400

Which EMFs?

590

00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,272

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

591

00:56:11,272 --> 00:56:13,084

We just walked through in the beginning of this.

592

00:56:13,084 --> 00:56:14,555

Your power is 50 hertz.

593

00:56:14,555 --> 00:56:18,528

Your Wi-Fi is 2.4 billion hertz.

594

00:56:18,528 --> 00:56:20,650

Your light is...

595

00:56:20,854 --> 00:56:23,497

Trillions and hundreds of trillions of Hertz.

596

00:56:23,497 --> 00:56:25,559

How could you harmonize all of that?

597

00:56:25,559 --> 00:56:28,963

That's not how that works That's not how filters work in electronics.

598

00:56:28,963 --> 00:56:36,933

That's just doesn't exist and then if it works Your phone shouldn't work because it's

harmonizing it.

599

00:56:36,933 --> 00:56:39,334

So to me

600

00:56:39,564 --> 00:56:50,110

there may be some side thing happening where I know some of them are like, yeah, it's

programmed with the Schumann's resonance and like that is defeating the other bad

601

00:56:50,110 --> 00:56:52,981

resonances or the bad frequencies.

602

00:56:54,350 --> 00:57:03,190

Would say anything that has a ton of Instagram, you know, ads and health influencers like

pushing it that is really salesy.

603

00:57:03,190 --> 00:57:07,090

It's probably something fishy happening.

604

00:57:07,090 --> 00:57:10,030

Things like shungite and other crystals.

605

00:57:10,030 --> 00:57:11,130

Yeah, maybe they're helpful.

606

00:57:11,130 --> 00:57:14,030

Maybe there is something we don't know, but guess what?

607

00:57:14,030 --> 00:57:19,390

If you buy a $30 shungite rock and put it on your desk, what do you have to lose?

608

00:57:19,390 --> 00:57:19,990

Nothing.

609

00:57:19,990 --> 00:57:23,330

If you buy a thousand dollar cheese shield or

610

00:57:24,350 --> 00:57:25,935

Layla quantum, yeah.

611

00:57:25,935 --> 00:57:30,318

lot of money and you better be damn sure that it works but

612

00:57:30,318 --> 00:57:31,738

I would be very skeptical.

613

00:57:31,738 --> 00:57:40,258

All of their studies on their website are like, Robert cut his finger and he healed it 10

times faster with cheese shield device.

614

00:57:40,258 --> 00:57:42,838

And I'm like, that's not a real study.

615

00:57:42,838 --> 00:57:45,298

That is not like proving anything.

616

00:57:45,298 --> 00:57:48,738

So I would love if these companies please reach out to me.

617

00:57:48,738 --> 00:57:51,658

Please show me the physics of how your product works.

618

00:57:51,658 --> 00:57:58,898

I would love to understand that because what we're doing at daylight is we talk about

light and how we're improving that aspect.

619

00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:14,859

I do want to mitigate EMFs, but I can tell you it's really damn hard to do that because

they're complex and people don't understand the basic physics of waves and electromagnetic

620

00:58:14,859 --> 00:58:15,750

fields.

621

00:58:15,882 --> 00:58:18,003

No, they don't evidently.

622

00:58:18,344 --> 00:58:22,066

Tristan, I know we're about to run out of time so quickly.

623

00:58:22,307 --> 00:58:25,289

Okay, so we got through about a quarter of what I wanted to discuss today.

624

00:58:25,289 --> 00:58:27,670

So I'm definitely gonna have to get you back on at some point.

625

00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:29,812

I will figure that out.

626

00:58:29,812 --> 00:58:31,393

However, where can people find you?

627

00:58:31,393 --> 00:58:33,004

Where can people find daylight?

628

00:58:33,004 --> 00:58:34,746

Yeah, thanks so much for having me on.

629

00:58:34,746 --> 00:58:37,639

It's always fun riffing on EMFs.

630

00:58:37,639 --> 00:58:51,293

And you can find me on Instagram at Tristan underscore health on Twitter at Bitcoin and

underscore beef is my handle DaylightComputer.com and we are at Daylight Co on socials.

631

00:58:51,293 --> 00:58:52,724

And yeah.

632

00:58:53,416 --> 00:58:54,208

Awesome.

633

00:58:54,208 --> 00:58:55,882

Again, thank you so much for time.

634

00:58:55,882 --> 00:58:57,316

I really appreciate this.

635

00:58:57,316 --> 00:59:00,584

And this has been an amazing conversation.

636

00:59:00,584 --> 00:59:01,886

Thank you very much.
