  Speaker 1: This is a disruptor's podcast. Welcome to Revealing Wholeness, podcast
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: dedicated to revealing the profound connections between body, mind, and spirit,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: where we believe that true wellness arises from addressing the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: root causes of our health challenges, not just masking the symptoms.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Here we dive deep into how holistic approaches such as
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: advanced chiropractic care, personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: transform your life. Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Hello, Ande, Welcome, I'm doctor Troy. There are some things
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: that I read on occasion that just make me scratch
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: my head, and again this is kind of one of those.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: This particular article comes from MSN, which probably isn't the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: most renowned medical news outlet that we should be thinking
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: probably is going to tell us the actual truth. But
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I find this one a little bit difficult to actually
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: even even remotely say, Okay, I might be able to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: make a connection there, but let's go for it. Alzheimer's
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: newly identified risk factor worse in these US states, according
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to MAP. I'm thinking, what and so this is all
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: about light pollution. Well, if you have a lot of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: light pollution, you're going to have some trouble with Alzheimer's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: because people in California and New York, in those big cities,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: they have a significant high amount of Alzheimer's and they
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: think it might be light pollution. I was thinking, really,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: that's what you're going to try to sell, all right,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And so it was interesting that they try to say
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that rural areas don't have as much Alzheimer's. I'm thinking
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: rural areas tend to grow their own food too, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: tend to have better nutrition, and tend to not have
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: such a busy life, and maybe they do have better sleep,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: which may be part of it. But I'm thinking you're
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: gonna blame light now, you're stretching things. There are a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: lot of things that could be causing Alzheimer's. But I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: not going to join forces with these people and say
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it's about light. I just disagree on so many fronts.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But is light irritating to the body when we should
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: be sleeping when it's supposed to be dark. So for
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: thousands of years, when the lights went out, meaning the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: sun went down, we pretty much had complete darkness. Now
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: did we have fire, well, yeah, did we have a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: fire that we could like have in a teepee or
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a tent, I suppose, or a log cabin, yes, or
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: simply just outside living. Yes, we would have had fires,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: We could have kept them even going. So perhaps maybe
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the flickering light of a fire being more of a red,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: yellow orange wavelength, perhaps maybe that's much easier on us.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We do know that the red wavelength
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of light is quite a bit bigger and not so
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: harsh like a blue light, which is a much narrower
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: beam and therefore problematic. So to give you the classic
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: example of when I used to process X rays, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: anybody who's done their own film processing in a dark
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: room in their house uses a red light because it
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't expose the film very quickly, so you have some
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: time to process film and not overexpose them. You have
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a red light. But if there's any blue light, even
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: even the tiniest little you know, led of some sort,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: like on a machine, it would ruin in films literally quickly.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And so blue light can be very different in terms
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: of how it reacts and refracts, and red light not
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: so much. So Okay, I could make a tiny stretch
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: that fires are probably better off, and all the TVs
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and electronics that we have now are mostly blue light.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: That's why I keep my phone permanently on amber. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: just find it much easier on the eyes, at least
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: for me. Even my home monitor, if I'm on it,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: it is a kind of orange just hue or amber hue,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: so that I don't have to have all this blue
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: light because it seems to be a bit irritating. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in my room, I don't have any electronics on. It's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: just like, I just don't do that. And so, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I suppose you could try it. Hey, I'm gonna remove
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: all lights from my bedroom and I'm going to get
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: some blackout curtains and I'm just going to see how
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I do. Hey, I actually feel a lot better and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: my brain works a lot better. Well, it might be
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: because you're sleeping better. It might be because maybe the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: light hitting your eyelids is not allowing you to go
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: into the deepest layers of rem sleep, and therefore your
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: brain is not repairing and correcting itself. Perhaps maybe you
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: have your pillow underneath or excuse me, your phone underneath
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: your pillow, and you're constantly being irradiated all night long.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about that. I know people that sleep
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: with their phone underneath their pillow. I'm thinking, Nah, you aren't.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't possibly do that. Oh no, they do. It's wild.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I mean even to sleep with ear pods in and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: playing music or listening to something. I'm just thinking, why
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: would you do that? I don't have earbuds. If I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: going to do a phone call through a headset, it's
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: going to be plugged into my phone. I don't want
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: more FM signals or whatever RF signals flowing through my
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: brain anymore than it are is. With cellular towers and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Wi Fi and wireless this and wireless that that are
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: always around us at all times. It's just it's it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: crazy out there, truly. So do I think alzheimer is
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: light driven? No, but I think some of the habits
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that are included with that light are probably not helpful
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to the brain. And since our brain is mostly fat,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we might as well at least make one caveat here
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to say you probably shouldn't be eating fast food if
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you want your brain to function for a long period
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of time, because the poor fats of the trans fats
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and highly overprocessed cooked fast food would definitely be a
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: fast way to have your brain degenerate and degrade along
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: with the rest of your body. So you know, little
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: little tidbit there for you if you if you're focused
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: on brain stuff. And then I did read an article
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I thought was kind of fascinating too. It said any
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: amount of drinking alcohol increases the risk of dementia. Well,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: now that I could, I could totally believe it takes
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: very little alcohol. I think we figured out in college
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: when we were learning chemistry and Avagadro's number for those
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that you don't do chemistry, six point oh two times
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: ten to the twenty third. That is a lot of zeros.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And in a what they call a mole of anything,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: there are that many atoms, or if there's a chemical structure,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: a molecule, if it if there's an Avagadro's number, or
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a mole of that particular molecule, there's six point oh
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: two times ten to the twenty third molecules or pieces.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And so with that in mind, an ounce of alcohol
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: put literally, it was in the trillions. If I had
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: not mistaken, trillions of molecules of alcohol into every single
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: cell of the body. One ounce of alcohol, I mean
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it literally is just a massive quantity of alcohol going
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: into every cell of your body. So seventy trillion cells.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You divide a mole six point zero two times ten
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to the twenty third divided by seventy trillion, and think, well,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that's got to be not that big of a number.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Oh no, it's a big number, because trillion isn't that
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: many zeros. It's a staggering amount of molecules of alcohol
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: in every cell of your body. So any amount of
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: drinking causing dementia isn't rather difficult to see, since alcohol
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: tends to be destructive to most tissue. But I digress.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So for those of you thinking that, hey, I think
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do less lights so I don't have Alzheimer's,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you can go ahead and do that, but I think
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be helpful on other ways. That would obviously help.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: But I think there's many other ways to help reduce
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: your idea of getting Alzheimer's. And so I've already talked
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: about years and years ago. Type three diabetes will be
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: known as Alzheimer's. And so if you're really concerned, definitely
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: less carbohydrates complex carbs would be fine. Not processed carbs
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: would probably be wise. Simple sugars would be wise to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: stay away from, and all the synthetic sugars that we
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: probably don't need would be excellent to stay away from
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: for your brain. And so sugar burns up into alkaline
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: ash minerals in the brain. I don't even think it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: alkaline ash, it's just ash. And so they call them ages,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: advanced glycation end products. You're welcome to do any kind
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of deep dive on the web on ages. It's rather
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: fascinating that as we burn sugar, these advanced glycation end products,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: these ages, is literally ash in the brain that just
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: clogs all the channels within the brain. And so if
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: you're able to clean your brain out because your diet
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: is pretty good and you can detoxify, well, okay, fine,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: But why put extra stress on your brain if you
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: want it to function the vast majority of your life
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and have a great time living. But if you don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: like your life, I suppose you might do some things
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that would hasten your ending of this experience here, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I digress. So you might want to control light, but
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's actually going to have that big
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of effect on Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's, I think you're gonna find
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: it's more so the other things in your life that
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: is more problematic. So until next time, I'm doctor Troy,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and remember there is really way more right with you
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: than there is wrong with you.
