Scott Zimmerman  Founder of Silas, Inc., maker of NIRA lighting. Scott has more than 35 years of experience in the fields of lighting and displays. His innovations and inventions have been used successfully in a wide range of military and commercial products that include night vision displays, liquid crystal display backlighting designs, and lighting fixtures.  Over the past few years, Scott has been focused on quantifying the health effects of natural sunlight. His efforts led to the development of the NIRA product line with its patent pending design that reintroduces near-infrared into our homes and offices. This research, co-authored with Professor Russel Reiter, was recently published in Melatonin Research 2, a peer reviewed medical journal, and featured in LED professional 3. In response to the pandemic, Scott extended this work toward developing novel lighting and HVAC systems that suppress disease spread. He authored a peer reviewed paper on this topic that was published in the Journal of Infectious Disease and Epidemiology 
 
 
 
 summary
 
Scott shares insights on the profound impact of light on health, hormones, and the environment. We explore misconceptions about light, the importance of natural sunlight, and how modern lighting affects our health and well-being.  Scott shares insights on the impact of artificial lighting on health, the importance of matching the spectrum to natural sunlight, and the future of light technology and health monitoring. Overall he reminds us to sped more time outside and to bring awareness to the issues with our current modern light environment.

Dr Guy William Fincham's journey with breathwork began as a personal healing tool for chronic fatigue syndrome, which inspired him to share his knowledge with the world. He trained as a Breath Teacher with the Breath Body Mind Foundation in New York and has since established collaborations with leading institutions including Oxford, UCSF, Imperial, Maastricht, UCLA, and the company Othership.
He founded the Brighton & Sussex Breathwork Lab and aims to expand it into a Breathwork Centre, inviting potential donors to support this vision. His research on breathwork has been featured in major media outlets such as the BBC, The Financial Times, the Guardian, The Washington Post, The Economist, TIME, Forbes, HubermanLab and National Geographic. He is also the UK's first doctoral fellow of the Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund, Tokyo.
Dr Fincham has a growing interest in exploring the diverse applications of breathwork across human recovery and performance, spanning from health and wellness to sports. His primary goal is to investigate how breathwork can support mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
 
Summary
Guy shares the transformative power of breathwork, discussing its origins, techniques, and the challenges of conducting research in this field. Guy shares his personal journey from business school to becoming a breathwork researcher, highlighting the importance of funding and the need for scientific validation. They delve into various breathwork techniques, the significance of set and setting, and the findings from recent studies on breathwork and altered states of consciousness. The conversation emphasizes the importance of safety,, and empowering individuals through breath awareness, while also reflecting on the surprises and insights gained from ongoing research. They delve into the significance of breathwork in various contexts, including its application in high-stress environments like Firefighting and athletic performance with a focus on breath mechanics and Co2 tolerance. They explore the intersection of breathwork with hypnosis, interoception, and altered states of consciousness, emphasizing the importance of safe practices and proper guidance. The discussion also touches on the therapeutic potential of breathwork for anxiety and the physiological aspects of CO2 tolerance, culminating in personal experiences and insights on integrating breathwork into physical activities. Guy delves into the complexities of breathwork, discussing the challenges of writing about it, the ethical implications of showcasing vulnerability in breathwork sessions, and the importance of balancing different breathwork practices. They also explore the need for standardized education in breathwork and the ongoing research efforts to understand its effects better.
