Summary
Ben Greenfield shares his home biohacking setup including EMF shielding, grounded floors, and various technologies for optimizing the living environment for health and recovery.
Key Points
- EMF exposure can be reduced with shielding
- Grounding/earthing provides electrical benefits
- Home environment affects sleep quality
- Air and water quality optimization
- Light environment matters for circadian health
- Practical implementation of home biohacks
Key Moments
Circadian-friendly bulbs with 3 modes: day, twilight, and sleep
Block Blue Light bio bulbs switch between day, evening, and night modes by toggling the switch, supporting natural circadian rhythms.
"So I've got circadian-friendly lighting throughout my entire house, and I don't have to change out the bulbs for different areas of the house because their bio light actually has three different modes, day, evening, and light."
Demo: switching LED bulb from full-spectrum to low-blue to red-only mode
Ben demos a 3-mode circadian bulb that shifts from daytime bright to twilight warm to orange/red sleep mode with each light switch flip.
"Now we've reduced all that blue light to a nice warm and this would be like around like four or five twilight-ish."
Screen overlays and apps cannot fix LED flicker - it must be in the hardware
Iris/f.lux reduce screen blue light but can't fix flicker. Hardware like BenQ eye-care monitors is needed for flicker-free.
"There's not really a way to block flicker, because if you can imagine having sunglasses and somebody having a strobe light in your face."
