Dr. Martin Moore-Ede

Expert on healthy l:ighting

For over 40 years, Dr. Moore-Ede has been a leading expert on circadian clocks and their regulation by light. As a professor at Harvard Medical School (1975 – 1998), he led the team that located the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the biological clock in the human brain that controls the timing of sleep and wake, and demonstrated how it was synchronized by daylight. As founder and CEO of the global consulting firm CIRCADIAN® he pioneered technologies to help people safely adapt to working around the clock. His best-selling books “The Clocks that Time Us” and “The Twenty-Four Hour Society” are based on this work.
Dr. Moore-Ede’s new book THE LIGHT DOCTOR: The Science and Solutions for Replacing Your Lights Now to Protect Your Health” released on Substack, lucidly exposes the epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer that has been caused by the poor design and misuse of electric lights. He also clearly explains the new healthy circadian lights that are now available based on Dr Moore-Ede’s discovery of the precise blue light wavelengths that are needed during the day but are harmful at night. The book provides critical clear guidance on how to use healthy circadian lights which provide the right light at the right time of day.
