About the Author
I'm Kendall Toerner. My work sits at the intersection of:
- Human biology
- Biophysics
- Environmental signaling
Rather than focusing on isolated biomarkers or trends, I study how systems fail when timing, light, and energy inputs are wrong, even when surface-level behaviors look or feel "healthy."
Unlearn Health is where I publish long-form explanations, models, and synthesis — openly, carefully, and without over-simplification for mass appeal.
I do not publish daily. I do not chase trends.
I revise my thinking as evidence accumulates.
About Unlearn Health
Most modern health advice is built on incomplete models. Calories without light. Hormones without timing. Genes without environment. Biology without physics. Unlearn Health exists to correct that.
This site is a public research and synthesis project focused on how light, environment, and physical laws shape human biology — and how many modern diseases emerge when those signals are distorted.
The Core Premise
Human biology does not operate in isolation.
Cells respond to:
- Light and darkness
- Temperature
- Electromagnetic environments
- Circadian timing
- Water structure
- Mechanical forces
Most chronic health issues arise from mismatched signals — modern environments imposing conditions the human system was never designed to process continuously.
Unlearn Health approaches health from the bottom up — from physics, to mitochondria, to cells, to tissues, to the entire organism. This corrects our perception of the roots of disease.
Why “Unlearn”
Health education rarely fails because of missing information. It fails because incorrect assumptions are layered on top of one another.
Unlearning is the prerequisite for understanding:
- Why many “healthy” behaviors quietly create silent biological stress and aging
- Why sunlight is not the enemy
- Why hydration is not just water intake
- Why metabolism is not calories
This project is about removing false frames before adding new ones.
What You'll Find Here
- Long-form essays explaining why common health narratives break down
- Mechanism-first reasoning rather than protocols
- Clear boundaries around what is known, unknown, and overstated
- Ongoing refinement of a coherent model of human health
If something is written here, it's because it matters structurally — not because it performs well.
The Unlearn Health Logo
The basic principles of biophysics operate on the electromagnetic interaction between light and biology. Our logo represents a benzene ring — what biology uses primarily to capture high energy light — primarily found in aromatic amino acids, but also DHA as well as porphyrins in our red blood cells.
