Unlearn Health explores how modern environments quietly disrupt human biology—and how restoring natural signals improves energy, mood, resilience, and long-term health.

This site focuses on signals, not symptoms: light, timing, temperature, movement, water, and environment.

If conventional health advice hasn’t worked for you, start here.

Start With the Foundations

Most health advice focuses on inputs like calories, supplements, or workouts.

Unlearn Health focuses on environmental signals that control how biology actually functions—especially circadian rhythm, mitochondrial energy, and cellular repair.

Health improves fastest when interference is removed.

➡️ Intro

• You Are Not Broken
• Health Is Input, Not Effort
• The Four Environmental Signals That Control Your Biology
• Why Modern Life Breaks Health

These help support the initial shift in your perspective toward living an optimal life.

🌞 Sunlight

Electromagnetism is the foundation of health. Sunlight is the primary source of it in nature.

• Sunlight and Health
• Heart Disease: A Lack of Sunlight
• How to Absorb Sunlight Safely

These explain why sunlight and natural electromagnetism make up the foundation of health.

💡Artificial Light

Artificial light is one of the strongest modern disruptors of human health.

Start with:

• Blue Light and Skin Cancer
• Flicker and Blue Light Toxicity
• Melanopsin, Light, and the Biology of Sleep

These explain why sleep, mood, hormones, and aging are light-regulated processes.

⚡ Energy, Mitochondria, and Aging

Energy production—not calories—determines health and lifespan.

Start with:

• Melatonin and Aging
• Over-Exercise and Accelerated Aging

These articles explain why environment, timing, and repair capacity matter more than intensity.

🍱 Food, Seasonal Eating, and Electrons

Energy production—not calories—determines health and lifespan.

Start with:

• Seasonal Eating: How Sunlight and Cold Reprogram Your Fuel Needs

These articles explain why food is a key signal of your environment for your health, not just fuel.

🧊 Seasons, Cold, and Environmental Stress

Biology needs change. Constant comfort counterintuitively increases cellular stress.

Start with:

• The Winter Protocol: Staying Aligned When Sunlight Is Weak
• DHA, Seafood, and Winter Mood

These show how cold, fat, and seasonal signals train mitochondrial strength if you are living in a winter environment.

📡 Technology and Modern Stressors

Modern stressors don’t break biology overnight—they accumulate.

Start with:

• EMF and Quantum Biology
• How Modern Stressors Foster Addiction
• Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels and EMF

This section connects technology, stress, and long-term aging.

Why “Unlearn”

Most health problems persist because we keep adding interventions instead of removing mismatches.

Unlearning means:

• Removing harmful signals first
• Restoring natural inputs
• Letting biology self-correct

Health is not something you force.

It’s something you stop interfering with.
