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 Brian got to making SaunaSpace products, which ends up spurring an entire conversation in itself. We...

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 have different opinions about this, but I believe that living a good life is more objectively related...

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 representation of value that is central to our lives because it is a place where people store their life...

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. Tune in, I'm sure you'll like it. Please share this episode with your friend and on your social...

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 Turkey, I discussed the thing that initially inspired me to start recording, which is the etymology...

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 to change the world outside of us to project our limitations onto the world will never solve the...

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 have been practicing "The Light Diet" for thousands of years, and optimizing it over and over and...

“Instead of working with the paleo movement, I decided I was going to teach them a lesson [about circadian biology].” -Dr. Jack Kruse
Matt and Dr. Jack Kruse delve into the lightbulb moment he experienced regarding leptin and how he impacted the paleo community through circadian biology. Dr. Kruse briefly discusses evolutionary biology in terms of the mitochondria, factor x, cold thermogenesis, and the brain gut. During a brief overview of evolutionary biology he shares why he loves Mexico so much! The conversation circles back to the importance of cold thermogenesis, the brain gut and Dr. Jack’s research on these concepts throughout the past 15 years. Later, they discuss why mammals cannot live without DHA from Omega-3. Take a seat, relax, and get ready to learn more through Matt’s chat with Dr. Jack Kruse!
