Roger Sutherland welcomes Dr. Moore-Ede back to share his extraordinary journey from medical doctor to an authoritative voice on circadian rhythms. You'll gain a deep understanding of how blue light, particularly from LED sources, disrupts our body clocks and leads to serious health issues, including elevated risks of cancer, diabetes, and obesity.
Dr. Moore-Ede's research reveals the stark dangers of blue-rich LED lighting, especially for those in shift work environments.
