99. How Natural Light Improves Eye Health, Blood Sugar and Lowers All Cause Mortality | Jonathan Jarecki

Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD

Show Notes

We discuss three pivotal studies showing how natural light wavelengths positively influence health from all-cause mortality to visual perfomance to blood glucose control in Type II diabetics. Jonathan Jarecki is a biomedical science sophomore with an interest in light and health, and host of Whole Health Podcast. SUPPORT MY WORK 🚨 DAYLIGHT COMPUTER.

Your waist shrinks. Your insulin falls. You feel better. But your LDL cholesterol goes up. Dave Feldman joins me to unpack one of the most debated questions in low-carbohydrate nutrition: what does a substantial rise in LDL mean when other markers of metabolic health improve? Dave is an engineer, citizen scientist and lipid researcher who originated the term “lean mass hyperresponder”. He explains his lipid energy model and why some people eating very low-carbohydrate diets develop hi...

I speak with Andreas Christou on how sunlight, circadian rhythm, light exposure, sleep timing, and the environment influence metabolic health, weight management, energy, and longevity. We explore how modern indoor living, artificial light, screen exposure, and disrupted sleep can interfere with biological rhythms—and why aligning daily light exposure and sleep with natural environmental signals may support metabolic health and energy. Dr. Max Gulhane also explains mitochondrial function, POMC...

What happens to biology when Earth’s magnetic field becomes weaker—or disappears entirely? Dr Max Gulhane is joined by Professor Geoffrey Guy and Alistair Nunn of the Guy Foundation for a deep exploration of magnetobiology, geomagnetism, quantum biology and mitochondrial health. We discuss how magnetic fields influence mitochondrial membrane potential, electron transport, reactive oxygen species and cellular adaptation. We also discuss the radical-pair mechanism, electron spin, animal...

In this episode, I join Eleana V to talk about body fat and in particular visceral fat i.e. the fat that surrounds our internal organs and can be hidden even in people who appear to be a “normal” weight. We discuss why visceral fat is different, what health conditions it’s associated with, why we don’t routinely measure it and the role of MRI and DEXA in assessing body composition. We also explore what actually helps reduce visceral fat and we finish with a quick-fire HOT TAKE round coverin...
