Modern Science Ignores Nature

Footballer walking barefoot toward sunrise, choosing nature over modern recovery gimmicks.

They tell you sunlight is bad. They tell you to wear sunscreen and sunglasses.

They tell you to wear thick cushioned sneakers and custom orthotics but going barefoot is dangerous and crazy.

They tell you to take supplements, protein powder, and prioritize fake nutrients on the back of processed foods instead of real local fresh animal-based foods that every human civilization ate.

You are being led down a path of self-destruction so eventually you become a nice big customer for the modern healthcare and insurance world.

Instead you need to work with Nature.

Mitochondrial function

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the human cell.

It produces ATP, the energetic currency of the human body.

Modern science ignores the mitochondrial genome because it is largely affected by lifestyle, environment, diet, and emotions/belief systems.

They prefer to focus on nuclear DNA (what you think of as “genetics”) because you can sell drugs, injections, and other therapies for all the health issues created by ignoring the mitochondria.

If your ATP production is poor (which it is for 99% of people) then every single process in the human body suffers.

If you want elite recovery then you need to focus on maximizing mitochondrial function.

The Three Legged Stool of Life

Three-legged stool of life: glowing gold light leg with sun, blue water leg with droplet, and purple magnetism leg with magnet on a neural base.

Dr. Jack Kruse created this concept to simply explain the three levers that improve or decrease mitochondrial function.

  • Light: dictates biological function.
  • Water: forms the Exclusion Zone in the mitochondrial matrix.
  • Magnetism: organizes the interaction between light and water and is based in the mitochondria.

When you adopt this lens and look at modern sports science, you will realize why we say “Beware the Trainer”.

Circadian Rhythm

A huge overlooked piece of optimal recovery for elite athletes is the body’s internal body clock.

The calories you eat at breakfast is not the same as calories eaten at midnight.

There are different bacteria present in the gut microbiome based on the time of the day.

Which is also hugely influenced by light.

Specific hormones are created and released at specific times of the day.

For all of these intricate processes to work properly then your circadian rhythm must be strong.

What influences your circadian rhythm:

  • Timing of meals
  • Composition of meals
  • Sunlight exposure
  • Darkness exposure
  • Grounding
  • Body temperature
  • Fresh air
  • Noise Pollution
  • Non-native electromagnetic fields

Entangled Principles for Elite Recovery and World Class Health

Light Sculpts Life

Left: leafless tree struggling in purple darkness. Right: thriving tree with strong roots in golden light — light sculpts life.

Light and the absence of light dictates every single human biological process.

Get as much sun during the day starting with the morning sunrise and avoid as much artificial light after sunset as possible.

Go Outside

If you aren’t going outside to breathe in fresh air, get natural color temperature into the eye, and be grounded then nothing else matters.

Get grounded as much as possible every day barefoot on natural ground. Wear Bahé grounded barefoot shoes otherwise.

Sleep is King

Footballer in deep restorative sleep under purple night and moonlight — sleep as king of recovery.

The benefits of high quality sleep outweigh the benefits of every single supplement, therapy, and other “recovery” method. “8 hours of sleep” means nothing if it is low quality.

Morning sunlight builds melatonin. Darkness releases it. Sleep early every night. Wake up naturally to the sunrise.

Real Food Over Everything

Modern humans have been fed a lie about calories and even moreso macronutrients and micronutrients. 30 grams of protein on the back of a protein powder bottle is not the same as 30 grams of fresh grass fed fresh unfrozen beef.

Eat organic local fresh unfrozen animal-based foods for optimal health and nutrient bioavailability.

More isn’t Better

Often times, better recovery means doing less. Many footballers are addicted to the dopamine of “no pain, no gain” but all this does is get likes on social media.

Focus on getting results, not just what burns calories. Less is more. The fresher you are, the better you are.

Dress Naturally

Nowadays, our environment is bombarded by microplastics, polyesters, and other petrochemical based materials that affect our health via xenoestrogens and disrupting voltage flow across the body.

Wear 100% organic natural materials like cotton, wool, linen, silk, cashmere, and bamboo. Consider the same for your bed sheets, towels, and furniture.

Decrease Deuterium

Deuterium, an isotope of Hydrogen, is heavily present in processed foods, non-local fruit, and fluoride-filled tap water and disrupts mitochondrial function.

Hydrate from raw alive foods like raw eggs, raw meat, raw milk, raw fish, raw honey, and raw vegetable juices instead of destroying your mitochondrial function.
