Description:
Dr. Jack Kruse explains why circadian biology is not a hormone story. It is a physics story of light, water, and magnetism.
This is Logan Duvall’s sixth conversation with Dr. Kruse. Recorded after time together in El Salvador, it starts from a simple observation: why the same person can feel different in Arkansas than at a lower latitude, and why that difference is not mainly diet.
Kruse’s claim is that circadian mismatch begins with dielectric and magnetic changes in lipid membranes — especially cardiolipin, DHA, cholesterol, and linoleic acid — before it shows up as sleep, energy, or lab markers. Magnetism is the origin of the bioelectric current. Light only becomes biologically meaningful after it is translated through the retina and the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Kruse’s line through the episode: you cannot make circadian biology one frequency. Magnetism is the father of the bioelectric currents that control it.
