Sunglasses, sunscreen, contact lenses, tanning beds, and prescription glasses are all man made inventions that, intentionally or not, disrupt the body’s circadian hormetic system

What once evolved to calibrate itself precisely through full spectrum sunlight is now constantly interfered with by synthetic barriers and distortions

The immediate impact of these inventions is obvious

Altered light input to the eyes and skin, disrupted circadian signaling to the brain, and changes in how the human body interact with UV, infrared, plus the rest of the spectrum

But it’s the second and third order consequences that are truly devastating, and largely invisible to the average person

When you distort the timing, spectrum, or intensity of light reaching the body, you alter hormonal rhythms, neurotransmitter balance, mitochondrial redox states, and even genetic expression through light responsive pathways

Over years, this leads to downstream issues in metabolism, fertility, mood regulation, sleep quality, and immune function

What seems like a simple convenience, a pair of sunglasses or daily sunscreen, compounds over time into chronic, systemic circadian disruption
