ABOUT MY TRANSFORMATION

Hi, my name is Alan Haungs, I am the owner of LightForFitness.com and LightForFitness.biz. Below is the story of how I was inspired to create such website names. Long story made short, this is about my application of light hygiene to overcome the poor I experienced due to circadian disruption. 

LIGHT FOR FITNESS is the name for you to remember us by, but the original and actual company name is High-Extraction Full-Color Home LED Lighting, LLC. Originally, you would need to type in the long name to find my business online, but today LightForFitness.com suffices.

The name change occurred for two reasons, “Light for Fitness” is easier to remember, BUT more importantly, once I experimented with and experienced the personal benefits of proper light-hygiene, I realized that this is the perfect new name.

MY JOURNEY:

A heart attack in 2011 changed my life forever. After that close call, I decided to lose weight and was placed on a cocktail of drugs by my doctors. I originally lost some weight by eating less, but a couple of years later I learned about the 5/2 diet plan, which helped me lose even more weight.

My picture shown at the very top of this webpage was taken in December 2015, in my Light For Fitness business’ office, 4 years and 9 months after my heart attack. One of my customers took this picture, it illustrates how much change I have undergone because of the practice of improved light hygiene.

The picture below is merely 10 months prior to my heart attack,  as I was in the process of  gaining weight while working on my Master’s degree.

This picture below shows a picture of myself a mere two months after my heart attack. I had begun to lose weight.

See my picture below, 1 year and 7 months after my heart attack.  Although weight loss was occurring, but as you can see, I was considerably heavy then than now.

Two years on the 5/2 diet plan (each week, 5 days normal eating, 2 days only 500 calories per day), planted me on “third base” in my new quest for better health, but I made it to “home base” AFTER I put my proper light-hygiene plan into practice. Within a few short months of proper light-hygiene, my blood sugar, triglyceride and cholesterol numbers had improved significantly, and this allowed me to graduate, from a life of having a medicine cabinet totally filled with prescription pill bottles, to only needing aspirin, WITH my doctor’s blessing.

Well, the secret to blinding a mouse IS NOT bright light. It requires only moderate amounts of light AFTER the mouse has experienced a time of poor light-hygiene (1 week). It is then exposed to 24 hours of moderate light of the right color.

The fancy term for the end result caused by exposing the mouse to poor light-hygiene is ‘circadian disruption’. First, we weakened (circadian disrupted) the mouse by using ill-timed, moderate-brightness white light. Then we used ill-timed moderate amounts of bluish green light (which normally would be of no effect, but was instead now a toxin to the eye) to kill the rods and cones on the retinas of the mice.

The lesson here is that circadian disruption (a disruption of the normal 24-hour light/dark cycle) GREATLY weakens an organism and increases the probability that a given stressor can be promoted to a biological injury.

Upon witnessing this blinding effect first-hand through the use of my light-toxicity machine, my path evolved from only being interested in inventing better, brighter LEDs to a path that factored the profound biological effects of the wrong light into my understanding, especially as it relates to human-habitat LED-lighting technologies.

Incredibly, despite having such first-hand knowledge, it took me about 3 years to figure out how to personally benefit from it within my own ‘human-habitat’. Ironically, the poor light-hygiene and resulting circadian disruption I subjected myself to as I prepared my Master’s thesis and defense, while fabricating my version of a Light Toxicity Chamber (working on it night and day in my brightly lit shop), contributed to my 2011 heart attack. My heart attack occurred while we were very successfully blinding mice with my new invention, and I was merely half a semester from graduating.

Unfortunately for the mice, they were dissected to observe the effects of my machine on their retinas. Fortunately for me, despite the heart attack, I survived and successfully completed my Master’s thesis process, graduating on time, and later starting my own business.

I eventually figured out how to benefit from my ever-increasing knowledge about light-hygiene and circadian disruption. Consequently, I now have inventions that allow me to be very careful about the light that enters my eye during the evening hours–when, how much, and what color composition.

It is not an exaggeration to state that almost all Americans today unwittingly subject themselves to a “light toxicity chamber” within their own homes.

Ask yourself this one question, “Am I taking prescriptions to counter-act the possible effects of a circadian disruption that might be otherwise improved or healed by a light-hygiene plan”?

Soon, I hope you will discover your own “Light for Fitness” story too.

Sincerely yours,

Alan C Haungs

ITS THE FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH OF APRIL 2015,  AND THE WIFE AND I ARE ENJOYING A NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN, CONTRA-DANCING IN FREDONIA (NY),  in GRANGE HALL #1.  AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE WINDOWS, THE EVENING IS YOUNG.

BUT ONCE SUNSET HAS BEGUN, I BEGIN TO WEAR MELATONIN ONSET EYEWEAR.

(Click on picture to enlarge). Below is Frame 34 and 34W. This is what I am wearing at the Contra-dance. My prescription lenses are held in the removable lenses holder that clicks in place. Take the empty lens holder to your eye doctor to have your prescription lenses filled into it. It then is optional, if you want to wear these glasses with or without the prescription lenses, as the lens holder quickly clicks into place.
