Key Moments
Blue light glasses as a sleep game changer
Saladino discusses how focusing on blue light at night with blue light blocking glasses has been a game changer for his sleep quality.
"Focusing on blue light at night has been a real game changer for me in terms of my sleep."
UVB sunlight changes gut microbiome
Saladino shares an interventional study showing that UVB light exposure directly changes the gut microbiome, with his own vitamin D at 75 ng/ml without supplementation from sun exposure alone.
"This is an interventional study. How crazy is that? When they gave people exposure to UVB light, it changed the gut microbiome"
Intermittent fasting as an ultimate zero-fiber gut reset
Saladino suggests intermittent fasting as a potential tool for gut health, calling it the ultimate zero-fiber diet that can help restructure the gut, while cautioning against overuse.
"I don't think you should overdo intermittent fasting, but I think it's in some ways the ultimate zero fiber diet that can help restructure your gut."
Colostrum for gut healing
Discussion of grass-fed colostrum research showing benefits for gut health and immune function at doses as low as 1.5 to 3 grams.
"There's so much research on this first milk from cows, immunoglobulins, bioactive proteins, incredible stuff on colostrum, even at doses as low as 1.5."
