Dave Asprey, creator of the biohacking movement and Bulletproof Coffee, envisions a future in which we treat light like a drug, dimming it after dark in homes, stores, and airports. He imagines replacing harsh glares with gentle, supportive lighting, creating environments that align with our biology and support our health instead of disrupting it.
Asprey may be on to something. Metabolic health isn’t just about what’s on your plate. According to him, controlling his light exposure and syncing with natural cycles helped him restore his metabolism. By adopting simple habits such as sleeping in a pitch-black room and going outside first thing in the morning, he shifted from being a lifelong night owl to being an early riser—and he lost weight in the process, proving that lifestyle adjustments can have powerful effects.
