Many people have functional deficiencies that are being overlooked by only focusing on absolute deficiencies in their labs. Great thing about metabolomics testing is that the imbalances often tell you about functional deficiencies. Intake is one thing. Absorption is another. Then there is assimilation, utilisation, depletion and potential blockages to enzymatic activity (& genetics) as well.

Understanding these changes and how they compare to artificial light sources is key to optimizing your health. Using spectrometry, we can observe these shifts and see why early morning natural light exposure is crucial for synchronizing our internal clocks. At sunrise, the intensity of blue light rapidly increases, reaching the same level as red and near-infrared light. UVA first enters the spectrum of light we receive when the sun is roughly 10 degrees above the horizon. And the UVB rise takes place at 30 degrees. During solar noon peak, the blue portion of the spectrum becomes dominant. At this time, blue light intensity surpasses other wavelengths, acting as a powerful daytime signal to the body. This reinforces wakefulness, cognitive alertness, and metabolic function. This is why you want to get outside as often as possible throughout the day, to give your mitochondrial colony & physiological systems the accurate inputs it requires to function optimally.
