Episode Details

We discuss three pivotal studies showing how natural light wavelengths positively influence health from all-cause mortality to visual perfomance to blood glucose control in Type II diabetics.

Jonathan Jarecki is a biomedical science sophomore with an interest in light and health, and host of Whole Health Podcast.
