Red Light Study to Improve Vision and NAD+
About this video
Seeds discusses a London study on aging eyes to preview an NAD-focused conference. He argues the retina is a useful place to study mitochondrial decline because it is heavily dependent on mitochondrial function, and he says researchers found brief morning red light exposure was associated with improved color vision and mitochondrial function in the retina, with benefits persisting after exposure stopped. He claims the morning-only effect points to circadian rhythms governing when mitochondria can respond, linking circadian clocks, NAD, and energy production. He presents the study as one example of combining modalities in cellular medicine rather than treating NAD in isolation.
Key takeaways
- Seeds argues the retina is a sensitive model for studying mitochondrial aging
- He says the cited study linked morning red light exposure to improved color vision
- He claims timing matters because circadian rhythms influence mitochondrial responsiveness
- He connects circadian clocks, NAD, and cellular energy production as one system
- He presents combined modalities as more promising than single interventions alone
