I've been the first to shake my head at Dr Jack Kruse. His writing style is rambling and mostly unintelligible to me and the concepts seem pretty far out there at first.
But time after time, I keep coming back to him because what he says (when I can understand it!) just makes sense.
I think he is totally right on with his position on adrenal stress, for example...that excessive blue light causes a burnout of the pituitary gland and widespread downstream hormonal effects. This HPA axis dysfunction isn't readily fixed by HC or adrenal supplements. It's fixed by limiting blue light and maximizing exposure to the sun.
The earth is meant to charge us and modern life has gotten in the way of that process. Our bodies need light and (structured) water to grow.
Dr Kruse says that the harder it is for us to get up at sunrise, the more we need the dopamine that is produced at that time. That rings true for me...I literally feel ill if I try to get up at sunrise.
But I'm going to try it again and see. There's a reason that so many religious traditions practice at sunrise. Early humans knew instinctively that it's all about the light.
Anyway, he's out there and so are his ideas but here is a recent podcast where he speaks in fairly basic terms about the mitochondria and how our bodies truly work.
