INSIGHT

Modern Lifestyle Downregulates P53

  • Modern lifestyle factors can down-regulate P53, increasing cancer risk.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral frames recent research that identifies specific lifestyle drivers that suppress this tumor-suppressor protein.
ADVICE

Avoid Artificial Light At Night

  • Avoid artificial light at night because it keeps cortisol elevated, reduces deep and REM sleep, raises inflammation, and suppresses NK cells and P53.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral links nighttime blue light exposure to disrupted HPA axis and cellular immune suppression.
ADVICE

Use Natural Light To Reset Circadian Rhythm

  • Get natural morning blue light and evening red light to entrain cortisol and melatonin rhythms.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral recommends morning sun exposure and watching sunsets to raise daytime cortisol and nightly melatonin appropriately.
