Key Wellness Strategies & Self-Care Techniques

Go outside after waking.
Face east.
Avoid glasses/contacts (or remove them as soon as you can).
Spend time with your eyes on the sun as it crosses the horizon:
- about 4–8 minutes
- add 1–2 minutes per day (they reference being “~4 days in”)
If you’re too sick to make sunrise, they suggest doing the same when you can:
- go outside whenever you wake
- face east
- still avoid glasses/contacts (or remove them if needed to walk)

Sit or touch the ground to ground yourself.
They say it’s okay to touch anything not asphalt, including:
- hands, toes, thighs
- clay
- they mention “pool ducking” as an example
Rationale (as stated): an “energetic exchange” / electron flow with the earth.

They reference shining red light on your back as a practice that may improve vision.

Download the “De Minder” / “D Minder” app.
In settings, enter:
- height
- weight
- skin type (they reference Fitzpatrick skin type)
- enable location tracking so it can determine latitude
They emphasize the app needs location/latitude to calculate the sun’s angle based on time of day, time of year, and season.

They argue your Fitzpatrick skin type should match the light conditions where you live.
General guidance they give:
- Underestimate UV risk for lighter skin; use skin type 1 if the audience has vitiligo.
- They claim that living far north with darker skin can be problematic in winter due to lower UV.
- Recommended alternatives for winter challenges:
  - indoor light therapy (“buying the light”)
  - or consider moving for severe conditions (see below)

They mention a product/light called “Midolux”, describing it as containing multiple frequencies.
They suggest moving (or strongly considering it) for people with:
- MS
- lupus (“lugric disease,” as stated)
- Parkinson’s
- cancer
They also suggest considering moving for:
- POTS
- Lyme
- mold
- mast cell issues
- (or at least checking sleep and light exposure first)

They describe a general principle: stress your body a little, then allow recovery.
They connect this to staying resilient and avoiding illness (“what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”).
They also claim the sun controls homeostasis, and that biology historically followed the sun’s cues.

For people who are very sick or can’t get up:
- they advise progressing the sleep schedule rather than forcing extreme morning light.
They propose a strategy:
- go to bed at sunset
- then gradually shift earlier
- example progression: if you can’t wake until 10:00, aim for 9:45, then 9:30, etc.
They suggest that winter sunset timing can help “catch up” on sleep.

“Sunrise” is defined as the moment the sun’s “ball” appears over the horizon.
Timing can depend on where you are; they emphasize:
- if sunrise is later in your location, go then
- they push back on asking them to specify exact times
Facing east is part of their instruction because the sun rises in the east relative to that framing.

If someone is too sick to follow sunrise exposure, they say priorities include:
- a sleep study (they specifically mention “what study do you need… a sleep study”)
- adjusting bedtime
They discourage extreme behavior unless it’s part of necessary recovery, noting that people generally don’t maintain extreme schedules once healthy.
