Thanks. Do you have any idea how sunlight might affect cognition? I find I always feel a bit sharper and quicker mentally during summer for a brief period. I wonder if it's to do with red light from the sun affecting the mitochondria or Vitamin D produced with sunlight. I take a vitamin D supplement during the winter though and don't notice any cognitive effect at all from that
It is a huge booster for many neurotransmitters. Id avoid the vitamin D supplement as it’s not even active form. it can lower you postassium & magnesium. It can also encourage iron accumulation. Dr Jim Stephenson is coming on the channel to talk about Vitamin D
It’s related to pleasure/pain balance. there is a new book named ‘Dopamine Nation’ written by Anna Lembke. it discuss this mechanism in there. the cold plunges can spike dopamine to higher levels than cocaine, so much so that there is a chap she discusses in the book who has cured his cocaine addiction using cold therapy, which is just amazing.

@@Thebusysuperhuman Thanks for the response. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that episode
Question please.. Do you need UVA sunlight directly on your skin or will just being outside do the trick?
But isn't cold exposure stressful to the human body? Don't see a place or time where ancient hominids would go out of their way to endure such cold
If you overdo it, yes the same as overdoing exercise

Sorry, didn't catch the name of the free UV app. Kindly put in comments. Cheers.
I believe it's called "Circadian".
