In Light of It All is a podcast by Light Tribe, by Phos, hosted by Xander Cadisch - a curious mind exploring how the invisible forces around us shape our wellbeing. From light and texture to sound, space, and neuroscience, this show dives into the science and design of healthier human habitats. With 90% of our lives spent indoors, what can we learn from biology, technology, and biophilic design to rethink the way we live, work, and feel? If Google uses nature to boost performance, why not our own homes? This is a journey into the future of living well - in light of it all.

The 100,000 Lux Problem | With Ali Heshmati

Ali Heshmati is Senior Architect and Design Director at LEADinc in Bergen, Norway, and a PhD researcher at NTNU. With over three decades of architectural practice, teaching, and public art, with more than 40 awards of excellence, he is pioneering the field of Biometric Architecture — exploring how buildings measurably affect human physiology, circadian rhythms, sleep, mood fluctuations, and cognitive performance. Heshmati is a cofounder of Human Environment Architectural Laboratory (HEAL), an international consortium of foremost experts gathered to optimize the built environment enhancing health and well-being through design.In this episode, Ali reveals why humans evolved under 100,000 lux of daylight yet spend their lives under dim interiors of 500 lux or less–in biological darkness. We explore the health costs of this mismatch, how light deprivation impacts wellbeing, and how architecture could serve as preventative care. If you’ve ever felt drained by a space or uplifted by another, this conversation explains why.You can find out more about Ali's work via the links below.Website - https://www.leadinc.noLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/leadinc/Human Centric Architecture Newsletter - https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7018982133557866496/Newsletter - https://aliheshmati.substack.com/ Get in touch:lighttribe@phos.co.ukxander@light-tribe.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/xander-cadisch-35823b55/ Join the Tribe - https://tinyurl.com/Light-Tribe-by-Phos
