I wish we brought this back

I hope you guys are prepared for my GM every sunrise 🌅

What a disgusting change We must take back lighting

The most sophisticated healing technology in existence is a sunrise Think of it as a reset button for your body It’s a technology older and more precise than anything humans have ever engineered At first light, red and infrared wavelengths flood the environment, charging mitochondria and priming cellular repair As the sun rises higher, UV-A arrives, stimulating nitric oxide release, circadian hormone signaling, and the POMC pathway that ties together mood, energy, skin protection, and immune function Then UV-B delivers its irreplaceable gift, Vitamin D3 production, the master regulator of immunity and cellular health Understand that this sequence isn’t random. It’s an orchestrated rollout of light frequencies, a code written into biological systems over billions of years Every ancestor before you relied on this signal to synchronize metabolism, brain chemistry, and sleep Compare that to modern technologies.. pills, lab manufactured supplements, artificial lights.. all of them clumsy, fragmented attempts to imitate what the sunrise does effortlessly each morning When you watch a sunrise, you aren’t just seeing light, you’re witnessing the most advanced regenerative technology ever deployed on Earth It costs nothing It carries no side effects It works flawlessly Forget the fads, tap into what’s timeless

The story I hope people will tell when I’m gone is that I reminded them the sun was enough That I helped them see their body as perfectly designed, not broken That I have them the tools to reclaim their health without fear, dogma, or dependence on a system that profits from disease management and sickness If people say, ‘Because of Zaid, I started watching sunrise, developed a mad tan, changed how I lived, and passed that wisdom to my kids,’ then I’ve done my job That’s the legacy I want A ripple effect of people realigning with nature’s rhythm. Circadian alignment en masse

This is how I know you’re legit

Love me a sunset

All hormones and neurotransmitters in the body are directly controlled through full spectrum sunlight into the eyes peripheral during the day Sunglasses in 99% of scenarios are a net negative because they go directly against the first principles of evolutionary circadian biology There is no argument to be made for the use of sunglasses outside of active glare The optometrists and ophthalmologists who try to push this narrative around UV ocular damage are out of their depth. They don’t know anything about circadian mechanisms, nor how light relates to a systems view of biology

Carrying your phone directly against your body (especially next to sensitive tissues like breasts, ovaries, or testes) means you’re placing the source of non-native electromagnetic emissions millimeters away from cells, not meters Total abuse of the inverse square law Electromagnetic fields obey the inverse square law: Doubling the distance drops the intensity by a factor of four. Keeping the phone on your body = maximum exposure For most of human history, the body experienced only natural (native) electromagnetic fields from the Earth’s Schumann resonances, cosmic background radiation, and sunlight’s broad spectrum Suddenly, we’re placing high frequency, pulsed nnEMFs directly on reproductive glands, mammary tissue, and major nerves for hours a day, often overnight These tissues are highly vascularized (absorbing more energy), hormone sensitive (breast, testes, ovaries), and Undergo constant cellular turnover, making them more vulnerable to chronic stressors Even if we set aside debates about long term carcinogenicity, constantly bombarding sensitive tissue with an artificial signal source is reckless Airplane mode is common sense Turning your phone off or switching to airplane mode when it’s on your body: 1. Eliminates active signal emissions 2. Costs you nothing (you can still use offline apps, camera, notes, etc) 3. Restores a basic buffer between your body and nnEMFs You wouldn’t sleep with your head next to a running microwave or keep a heat lamp pressed against your skin all day So why carry a mini transmitter in your bra or pocket for hours on end? This isn’t fear mongering, it’s the intersection of physics and biology, otherwise known as biophysics Your body is an electromagnetic system. Your phone is a transmitter. Distance matters. Sensitive tissues matter. And airplane mode is the simplest, lowest cost way to reduce unnecessary chronic exposure

Stop carrying your phone in your bra or pocket. Put that shit on airplane mode or turn it off unless you want to dramatically increase your risk of infertility or breast cancer

Back in heaven

The undeniable evidence that your mitochondria are light-sensing organelles which use the sun’s full spectrum for energy production Here’s what will put those who speak ill of the sun to shame Let’s start with the basics Your body evolved to be under the sun’s full light spectrum, which is why every aspect of it is designed to sense and use light How can I prove this? Because we have chromophores all over the exterior and interior of our bodies Chromophores are molecules or parts of molecules responsible for the color of compounds They are typically the parts of a molecule that absorb visible light or ultraviolet light, leading to electronic transitions When a chromophore absorbs light, it moves to an excited state, and the energy associated with this transition often falls within the visible spectrum, which is why we perceive color So, how does this tie into the mitochondria? Well, each mitochondrion in your body contains a series of complexes which are designed to transfer electrons through redox reactions to produce energy (ATP) This chain of complexes is what we call the electron transport chain, and it’s found within the inner mitochondrial membrane Mitochondria are the lifeblood of each cell, hence they make all the difference between health and disease, life and death It ties in perfectly because of this fact: The entire electron transport chain is LOADED with chromophores which are critical to the function of these complexes Now here’s where it gets fun I told you that your mitochondria are light-sensing organelles Now here’s why ⚡️ Complex I (NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase) • Flavin Mononucleotide (FMN): Absorbs light at around 370 nm (UV) and 450 nm (blue light) • Iron-Sulfur Clusters: These clusters have broad absorption, typically in the 400-600 nm range, but they don’t have distinct peaks like other chromophores ⚡️ Complex II (Succinate:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase) • Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD): Absorbs at around 370 nm (UV) and 450 nm (blue light) • Iron-Sulfur Clusters: Similar to Complex I, absorption is broad and typically in the 400-600 nm range ⚡️ Complex III (Cytochrome bc1 Complex) • Cytochrome b: - bL (low potential form): Absorbs at around 563 nm (yellow-green) - bH (high potential form): Absorbs at around 566 nm (yellow-green) • Cytochrome c1: Absorbs at around 552 nm • Rieske Iron-Sulfur Protein (2Fe-2S cluster): Absorption is broad, typically between 400-500 nm ⚡️ Complex IV (Cytochrome c Oxidase) • Cytochrome a: Absorbs at ~ 605 nm • Cytochrome a3: Absorbs at ~ 655 nm Both orange and red light absorbed here • Copper Centers (CuA and CuB): These centers absorb broadly in the visible region, but their exact absorption properties are less defined than the heme chromophores ⚡️ Additional Chromophores in the ETC Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q): Ubiquinone itself is not strongly absorbing in the visible spectrum but does have weak absorption peaks in the UV range, around 275-290 nm Biophoton emission right there ⚡️ Cytochrome c (Mobile Carrier) Cytochrome c has an absorption wavelength of ~ 550 nm (in reduced form) Now here’s the million dollar question Why does the entire electron transport chain sense various wavelengths of light from the sun at extreme precision? I want to see the look on every physician, dermatologist, and ophthalmologist’s face when they’re shown this information The overall absorption range of the chromophores within the electron transport chain is between ~ 200 nm to ~ 900 nm From extremely low-frequency UV light (biophotons) to NIR light Any argument against sunlight exposure or the use of sunglasses, sunscreen, sun-avoidance is hereby deemed as retarded knowing this information This is especially the case because mitochondria control the health of every cell and are found everywhere in the body I rest my case

Mitochondria gives cells a tan You read that correctly Let’s put this reductionist notion that mitochondria are simply the powerhouse of the cell to rest They surpass that simplistic label, as they play a far more complex role, including a significant influence on skin pigmentation and melanin development ••• Mitochondria are involved in various cellular processes that affect skin pigmentation: They are the energy supply for melanin production through their ability to provide ATP, essential for the biosynthesis of melanin Mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can influence melanin production. An increase in ROS can stimulate melanogenesis, leading to darker pigmentation They control apoptosis (programmed cell death), affecting the turnover of melanocytes, which are the cells that make melanin (PMID: 19659442) Mitochondria regulate calcium within the cell. Proper calcium uptake by mitochondria is essential for melanin production in melanosomes (PMID: 39527653) Mitochondria sit at the heart of redox balance. They regulate the redox environment, which in turn influences the stability of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, and affects melanosomes ••• What more proof do you need that melanin production is a cornerstone of human health? Stop listening to centralized dermatologists who view biology and skin through a reductionist lens It’s time to cultivate your tan through wise full spectrum sun exposure, aligned with a circadian appropriate framework
