Are you still focused on diet while ignoring the most foundational aspect of health? Dr. Max Gulhane reveals why sunlight and circadian biology might be more important than what's on your plate in this interview with Kaitlyn Menere of She Said What?! Podcast.
Dr. Gulhane shares his personal journey of transforming his health after conventional medicine failed to address his adult-onset acne. What began as an exploration into low-carb and carnivore nutrition expanded into something far more profound—understanding how our ancient cellular machinery depends on natural light signals to function properly.
The conversation ventures into territory rarely covered in medical school: how mitochondria—the energy-producing organelles in our cells—evolved over billions of years to respond to natural light wavelengths. When these tiny powerhouses don't function optimally due to disrupted light environments, disease follows. As Dr. Gulhane explains, "Genetics loads the gun, but your environment and lifestyle pull the trigger."
Perhaps most fascinating is the research showing that sun avoidance carries mortality risks comparable to smoking—directly challenging Australia's decades-long "slip, slop, slap" campaign. While ultraviolet light can damage DNA, our bodies have evolved sophisticated repair mechanisms triggered by the very same sunlight exposure. This explains why those who get more sun exposure live longer despite potentially higher skin cancer diagnoses.
For listeners struggling with chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disorders, or metabolic issues, Dr. Gulhane offers a holistic framework that goes beyond simply removing problem foods. By addressing light exposure, grounding, EMF reduction, and circadian alignment, many patients have reduced or eliminated their dependence on medications.
The episode concludes with details about the upcoming Regenerate Summit in Sydney and Melbourne, where health pioneers will share cutting-edge perspectives on ancestral health practices and regenerative approaches to wellness.
