"the importance of bright light exposure, bright LED exposure for six hours a day... it actually, it was shown to lower cortisol by 25%." (said at 0:44:20)
No published record matching the claim that exposure to bright LED light for six hours a day lowers cortisol by 25% was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"how could that change the expression of your genes and even alter how you, the organism, fend for yourself from an immunological perspective, shifting you from viral to bacterial defense?" (said at 0:30:23)
No published record matching the claim that loneliness alters gene expression to shift immunological defenses from viral defense to bacterial defense was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"About 30% of the population is an extreme morning type or a morning type, about sort of 40% is sort of neither strongly morning or evening, and about the remaining 30% is an evening type." (said at 1:45:00)
No published record matching the claim that approximately 30% of the population are morning chronotypes, 40% intermediate, and 30% evening chronotypes was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"What we've discovered, firstly, is that the amount of deep sleep that you have measured in these big delta slow waves during deep non-REM sleep, that predicts how much of a drop in your systolic systolic blood pressure you will have in the morning relative to the evening... If you have a ratio of very little deep brainwave activity and a lot of high-frequency, wake-like brain activity that we call a delta-beta ratio, that predicts very bad cardiovascular outcomes" (said at 1:43:15)
No published record matching the specific claim that delta slow-wave sleep or a specific delta-beta EEG power ratio predicts morning-versus-evening systolic blood pressure dipping or cardiovascular recovery metrics was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"what you find is that you eat more of all of the food groups, but you eat mostly in terms of an increase the stodgy, heavy-hitting carbohydrates as well as the sugary foods." (said at 3:32:49)
