Hey everyone! It's been a while. Well, we're back, with a great one. In this episode of The Light Diet podcast I interview my good friend and founder of Sauna Space, Brian Richards. This was a particularly interesting conversation because we both have a very deep knowledge and understanding of light to complement each other quite well. I'm interviewing Brian here and I definitely make sure to get his specific take on certain subjects where he has greater expertise than myself. We start with how ...

In this Quantum Field Report I just started filming because I felt like sharing and I decided to see where my talking would lead. I got into the discussion of what it means to live a good life and that this has been my general pursuit for several years now; more specifically, to live the best life that I possibly can. Of course, to do so requires defining what a good life is as a whole. What does this mean? Is it subjective, a matter of opinion, or objective, a matter of fact? Many people will h...

In this episode, I share something that I have been looking into a lot recently which is bitcoin. At first I didn't understand bitcoin, but as I put the pieces together with all of my thinking about money and business over the last many years, I came to understand that bitcoin is far more than just a catchy name and get rich quick scheme as some people think. Digital currency is the future of all money. Just as the Internet has taken over, it is bound to as well. Money is a physical representati...

This episode is a re-broadcast from a podcast appearance on the Carnivore Yogi podcast, hosted by Sarah Kleiner. I had such an amazing time with this discussion and found it so valuable myself that I wanted to re-share it on The Light Diet Podcast. In this episode we discuss my story, the basis for The Light Diet, and we get into detail on the factors in my life that led me to realize that The Light Diet is ultimately a spiritual way of being, more than just a daily protocol for light exposure. ...

This one was something else. I was inspired by something I was reading and decided to just open up my phone to share about it. Little did I know I would end up speaking for over an hour about all the things that I've been experiencing lately, and the things I've been learning. I'm very glad I did, because I think it will be of tremendous value to you. I discuss my trip to Russia and some of the things I experienced there, going to a weeklong advanced meditation retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza in T...

On today's quantum field report I get into a subject that I have been considering for a long time now. This is a subject that is very important to consider for anyone who is interested in healing. Typically when we feel uncomfortable or some unpleasant emotion, we point our fingers outside and say that it's because of something outside of us. In reality, all of the world is occurring within our head, so there is some lack of something within us that this external perception is activating. Trying...

In this Quantum Field Report I detail my experience with learning about Ayurvedic medicine and a specific protocol that I tried out and continue to utilize. Interestingly enough, as life would have it, a friend who I met surfing in the water in Bali happens to be a leading Indian (Ayurvedic) medicine doctor, and although at first I was not prepared to understand a lot of what he teaches, over time I started to realize that it is actually the next level of what I call "The Light Diet”. People hav...

In this quantum field report I share some experiences that I have been having recently that are leading me to the conclusion that there is much greater intelligence than ourselves out there and that it's possible that one of the best things that we can do is to "surrender" in a sense; not to cower down from our lives and feel powerless, but actually to embrace everything that we have and to do the absolute best that we can with what's on our plate every day; surrendering in this sense to the inf...

Hey everyone, as I posted yesterday, I am super stoked to be announcing The Light Diet course. This course is some thing that anyone can use to completely transform their health using light. I have explained everything simply enough that anyone can do this, no matter how much or how little they know about biology; and so that at the same time, someone who knows a lot about health can learn some thing they might not already know, or have a simple foundation of a protocol for optimizing circadian ...

Hey everybody! In this quantum field report I recount my thoughts on Tulum Mexico after the Joe Dispenza weeklong meditation retreat. It's a very interesting town with a very interesting energy, which I'm personally not most drawn to. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful place with kind people that a lot of tourists and travelers really love, and often stay. For the type of chill vibes and experience that I prefer, I still recommend Costa Rica to people as my preferred tropical place to go to support y...

In this quantum field report I get into a discussion about some thing that I just made an Instagram post and a tweet about as well. It is the fact that the light we live under powers our body, and if we live in doors under man-made/artificial light sources, it is literally like trying to power a refrigerator with a phone charger, in the sense that the energy provided by the one is completely and thoroughly insufficient to provide the energy required by the other. Matt Maruca is a young man who f...

Just to be clear, I love to listen to music, to sing, and to enjoy life’s beautiful joys and pleasures. In this quantum field report, I begin by discussing how people who find that they cannot sit in a car by themselves quietly for hours (like a meditation), or constantly need to listen to music, or need any other sort of external source of pleasure to feel good, may find that their mind is filled with thoughts and beliefs that they cannot stand to just be with. I’ve been like this for much of m...

In this quantum field report I share some thoughts that I have been having about how I can both maximize my focus on my contribution and creativity while at the same time traveling and exploring the world; basically, how I can “have my cake and eat it too”, as the saying goes. I share some insight from an article that I recently read about Ernest Hemingway's morning routine that really inspired me, and may inspire you, too.

In this quantum field report I discuss how I was born and raised an “atheist” and a myriad of experiences and struggles have scientifically led me to have a deeper understanding of what people call "God” than I would have imagined this journey would grant. I'm not claiming that my perspectives are the truth, but I think you may find them interesting and relevant to your own experiences and spiritual journey. We are all on a spiritual path; The question is whether we know so we know so or not. Ma...
