The Quantum Biology Collective Podcast Ep 032: Dr. Max Gulhane on Why Light Is The Key To Regenerative Health
“Getting your feet on the bare earth and watching the morning sunrise is the cheapest health intervention in maybe the history of the world,” explains Dr. Max Gulhane, MD. As a family physician and host of the Regenerative Health Podcast, Dr. Gulhane is teaching people all over the world about the importance of a healthy circadian rhythm. His own experiences with trying to heal from terrible acne in his 20s led Dr. Gulhane to recognize the critical blind spots of traditional Western medicine. The strong pharmaceuticals he was prescribed left him with undesirable psychological side effects and the widely recommended plant-based diet only made his condition worse. When he discovered the low carb lifestyle and carnivore diet, his health improved dramatically, but there was one component still missing - light. In this episode, Dr. Gulhane explains how natural health interventions like regulating circadian rhythm are the key to regenerative health.
Without a biologically attuned light environment, your body does not have the opportunity to regenerate its health. This is because without the cues from the absence or presence of sunlight, the brain is unable to send the correct signals to your body that let it know when it is time to wake up, sleep, and eat. Nowadays, people typically live in homes overrun by artificial light sources and EMF waves from WiFi. These conditions are not biologically appropriate for health as the human body has evolved over thousands of years to work in alignment with the sun. When you surround yourself with artificial light and miss out on watching the sunrise and sunset, your body misses critical cues which leads to circadian dysfunction like the inability to create enough melatonin. Without melatonin, you may suffer from insomnia, making it more difficult for your body to recover.
Sleep provides a much needed opportunity for health regeneration. When sleep is interrupted by a toxic light environment, people begin to experience more serious health issues. If you are looking to heal your body holistically and have only focused on diet, start looking at your light environment and lifestyle to see where you can make circadian improvements.
Quotes
- “Food diet, light diet. Optimal health lies somewhere in the middle.” (14:40-14:45 | Dr. Gulhane)
- “Just like there is junk food, there's also junk light.” (17:01-17:04 | Dr. Gulhane)
- “Morning light is critical, because it's essentially setting you up not only to start the day, but it's also setting you up for that night's sleep later in the day.” (30:17-30:29 | Dr. Gulhane)
- “Getting your feet on the bare earth and watching the morning sunrise is the cheapest health intervention in maybe the history of the world.” (42:14-42:24 | Dr. Gulhane)
