#315 Main Causes of Obesity and What to Do About It - Dr James DiNicolantonio

New episode with Dr James DiNicolantonio about our new book The Obesity Fix. This episode is brought to you by BluBlox – my favorite light and sleep optimization company. Artificial light at night exposure at night is associated with diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. BluBlox provides the highest quality blue-blocking glasses that filter out the specific wavelengths that have been shown to suppress melatonin in studies. Melatonin is more than the sleep hormone. It’s also vital for longevity, anti-aging and immunity. Artificial light exposure suppresses melatonin up to 99% and makes your brain think it’s daytime before bed. That’s why I love using my BluBlox blue blockers to guarantee my body is making a high amount of melatonin prior to sleep. They also have daytime lenses that you can use to reduce digital eye strain and retinal damage when working in front of a computer all day. You can get a sweet 15% discount off all the BluBlox glasses, red light bulbs, red light devices, and sleep masks if you head over to blublox.com/siimland and use the code SIIM15. That’s BLUBLOX.com/SIIMLAND and the code is SIIM15.
