Hilda Labrada Gore: "You said that natural spectrum […], the whole shebang that the sun offers us (and I don't even think science can necessarily wrap its head around all of the varieties of light that could be in there). But as far as we understand it, that natural spectrum, you've said, helps regulate hormonal function.
"Can you go into detail about how you think this happens. Which hormones are impacted by the sunlight, and what they do for, let's say, our mood, our concentration, our inflammation, and so forth?"
Carrie Bennett: "Sure. Yeah. And there's actually a lot of different pathways that this happens. But the specific range of light happens with the morning light and the changes and how the sun layers itself on with morning light.
"So I think this is a very key message for people to understand. Sunlight is never stagnant in the blends of colors it has. You'll have a certain blend that then you add on more and more with the UV, or you add on brightness, or you add on intensity as the sun reaches the high point in the sky. And then those frequencies start to go away. The sun is ever changing, and it looks like there's a couple of key transitions. Again you hit the nail on the head. There's no way are even coming close to understanding what all the frequencies of light do. We're at the tip of the iceberg.
"But what I can say clinically, it appears as though sunrise is a really key time to get outside if at all possible. […] At sunrise, you start to see that the intensity of blue matches the intensity of red and infrared. And that's a signal to kick off this pathway from the hypothalamus that tells the mitochondria to make pregnenolone. And pregnenolone is like this master hormone at the steroid pathway that can become cortisol. It can become all of our sex hormones, DHEA, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone. But it kicks off with that light signaling in the brain, step one."
