Whole-person view: sleep, light, timing in the post
Youthful Medicine writes that longevity medicine is not simply about adding another medication, supplement, hormone or peptide. It should understand the whole human system, including sleep, light exposure, circadian biology, metabolism, recovery, hormones and inflammation. The post adds that biology has a rhythm and that when we eat, sleep, exercise, recover and expose ourselves to light can matter alongside which interventions are chosen. These are the authors' stated principles, not measured outcomes.
