Disrupted Circadian Rhythms: A Colombian Doctor's Insight into Diet and Sun Sensitivity

Colombian Nutritionist Highlights Circadian Rhythm Disruption and Diet's Role in Sun Sensitivity Bogota, Colombia – May 29, 2025 – A recent video by Colombian nutritionist Dr. Guillermo R. N. has garnered attention for its discussion of circadian rhythm disruption and its connection to diet. Dr. N. explains that night shift work and excessive artificial light negatively affect the body's natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to hormonal imbalances and health problems. He states, "Exposure to screens late at night, night work, and artificial lights disrupt hormones, causing metabolic problems and chronic fatigue." The doctor also highlights the importance of diet in determining sun sensitivity. He argues that a diet high in processed vegetable oils increases vulnerability to oxidation and sun damage. He uses the example of fishermen who spend long hours in the sun without burning, suggesting their traditional diets offer protection. Dr. N. concludes by advocating for a return to natural, whole-food diets and regular sun exposure to maintain healthy circadian rhythms. The video, which has already accumulated hundreds of views in just hours, suggests a growing interest in the connection between diet, light exposure, and overall health.
