The real issue isn’t blue light itself…It’s isolated, artificial blue light from screens, LED bulbs, and fluorescent lighting that throws off your hormones and stress response.
What Happens with Too Much Blue Light?
- Artificial blue light spikes cortisol, especially when it’s not balanced by sunlight
- Elevated cortisol over time can rob you of progesterone, leading to hormone imbalances
- It puts your body in stress mode, even if you’re just replying to emails
- On a deeper level, artificial blue light causes your brain to cleave a protein called POMC, triggering a hormone (ACTH) that tells your adrenals to make more cortisol.
