The state of Jack Kruze's body is empirical proof that light environment, while important, is by itself an incomplete method of health.

I think about this every time someone tells me how great he is
I’ve been saying this for a while now. I’m not taking health advice from someone I don’t want to look like.
I tried to listen to him and really tried to give it a go, but I really didn’t understand it. People try to over complicate health. Eat real food, move your body, get outside.
Gotta take into account how much damage he's trying to undo as well... He started from a damn low point
Why does he look worse?
Fair enough. Your point is well taken though. Light isn’t everything, rather a much more rounded approach is necessary which I agree with you on 💯
I think, certainly, we can deduce that a perfect light environment and circadian hygeine cannot prevent fatty liver disease and insulin resistance, which Kruze clearly has.
What is light environment. Do you mean weight or rays?
Proof of (it’s) Work(ing)… or not
Imagine how fit he'd be if we would all just turn off our wifi and cell phones. /s
Quack! Quack!
There's a reason why all the fruit & honey influencers are either very young, exercise a ton, or both. Those extra metabolic function boosters are necessary to fight off all the carbs they're gobbling down.
Once you no longer have/utilize those things...the truth of the high-carb/high-sugar diet shows.
Dr. Jack Kruse is a perfect example of this. He's SO smart on so many aspects of health, but still falls prey to the "calorie is a calorie" fallacy of the Ray Peat lemmings. He regularly talks shit to carnivores saying stuff like "that's too extreme" and "fruit is just 'stored light' so it's good for you", and other things that those in the circadian-focused subset of the health realm tell themselves to rationalize their sugar addiction.
The results speak for themselves; he's not a healthy person despite everything else he does well.
Diet will always be the bedrock foundation of health, and #ZeroCarb #Carnivore is the peak of that mountain. Light environment is a very close second IMO, but if you haven't cut the carbs out, you'll be spinning your wheels on all higher levels of the game.

💯 when your diet isn't dialed, all the other health hacks in the world won't help you
Do what I say, not as I do!
El Salvador looks nice tho
In Kruse's defense, he doesn't say light is the only important thing, just the most important. His diet approach is actually quite close to paleo, in my observation.
Also, he had been 300+ lbs before applying his discoveries surrounding light and health. Only recently has he been able to apply his health approach completely, since his practice required being in environments he considers toxic. He ended his practice I believe.
Ending years of damage doesn't happen over night.
In any case, it would be interesting if someone could bring up this objection to him and see what he has to say, and to see if his health state changes over the coming months and years.
Very reasonable.
