🔬 Pre-Bump Biology  

Nighttime biology is fragile: even dim light can blunt melatonin and derail the HPG axis, while heat and poor air spike oxidative stress that batters eggs and sperm. Pair a dark, cool sleep window with true-HEPA bedroom air to cut ROS, steady hormones, and nudge the odds toward higher-quality embryos and implantation.

🧬 Protocol Drop  

Today’s Allopathic Protocol:
Run a true-HEPA (H13+) purifier sized for ≥5 e-ACH in your closed bedroom 24/7 for the next 90 days. Quick math: ACH = (Smoke CADR × 60) ÷ room ft³. For ~1,300 ft³, pick ≥150–200 cfm. Add activated carbon if you cook with gas or live near traffic; avoid ionizers/ozone.

Today’s Holistic Protocol:
Sleep 7.5–8.5 hours nightly in a 100% dark room (melanopic EDI ≤ 1 lux) set to 18–20 °C. Lock a fixed sleep/wake time (±30 min), cut caffeine 8–12 h pre-bed, and keep screens dim/warm the last 3 hours. Men: avoid hot tubs/heated blankets to protect testicular temperature.

📚 Glossary Pop  

Melanopic lux (EDI): A light-at-the-eye measure that reflects how strongly light stimulates the retina’s melanopsin cells (ipRGCs) that set your body clock. Think of it as how “circadian-bright” the light is—not just how bright it looks. Lower melanopic lux at night preserves melatonin.

Team up tonight: one of you sets the purifier and blackout, the other sets the thermostat. Tiny wins, compounded for 90 days.
P.S. Tomorrow Teaser
Next up: the fat and farm stack—how omega-3 DHA (1000 mg/day) fuels egg and sperm membranes while organic, pesticide-free meal prep shields them from oxidative damage. It’s science meets Sunday kitchen ritual.
