Is Food Really Energy? Rethinking Human Performance and Nutrition

How We Power Ourselves

Food is broken down by our digestive system and used to rebuild and maintain our body. This process takes both energy and rest. At the same time, we create light, and the processes involved in sustaining and rebuilding the body produce electrical energy. That is how we go about our business. That is how we do the things we want to do.

Most discussions about energy begin and end with food. But there may be more to the story than calories alone.

Human cells emit tiny amounts of light known as biophotons, and melanin is one of the most powerful light-absorbing molecules found in the body. Light influences many biological functions, including circadian rhythms, hormone production, sleep quality, mood, and vitamin D synthesis. Research into photobiomodulation has also shown that specific wavelengths of light can influence mitochondrial function, the structures responsible for producing ATP.

If the body is both chemical and electrical, perhaps factors such as sunlight exposure, circadian rhythms, hydration, movement, and nutrition work together in ways we are only beginning to understand.

The future of health may not be about replacing what we know about food and metabolism. It may be about expanding our understanding of the many inputs that influence human performance.
