The truth is, exposure to natural light does far more than make vitamin D. It sparks dozens of pathways that fight inflammation, improve mood, optimize sleep, and even protect against Alzheimer’s. In this episode, I sit down with Gerardo Gutierrez, entrepreneur, longevity researcher, and creator of Mitolux, to uncover why sunlight and infrared matter more than most supplements you’ll ever take. He shares his personal journey of healing depression and low testosterone through sunlight, the science behind UVB and near infrared, and how his devices are designed to mimic the healing spectrum of the sun safely and effectively."If we've been living in this world for millions of years, how could we not have a bulb to use the natural sunlight?" ~ Gerardo GutierrezAbout Gerardo Gutierrez:Gerardo Gutierrez, known as Guti, is an entrepreneur, longevity researcher, and creator of Mitolux, a line of light therapy devices designed to replicate the healing spectrum of natural sunlight.

Wearables promise insights into health, but most people are left asking: what do the numbers really mean, and how do they help us live longer? Behind those heart rate variability (HRV) scores and recovery charts lie clues about hidden stressors, like food, alcohol, poor sleep, and even altitude, that quietly shape how long and how well we live.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Torkil Færø, Norwegian physician, emergency doctor, and author of The Pulse Cure. With decades of experience treating patients and using HRV to decode the body’s stress response, he reveals how wearables uncover what standard medicine often ignores. We unpack why conventional training overlooks prevention, what HRV is able to measure, and how simple lifestyle shifts can add not just years, but quality years, to life."Heart rate variability is like watching your heart rate with a magnifying glass." ~ Dr. Torkil FærøAbout Dr. Torkil Færø:Dr. Torkil Færø is a Norwegian general practitioner, emergency physician, bestselling author, and documentary photographer.

My own test results revealed that the healthy foods I eat every day, like garlic and ginger, can actually cause inflammation. It turns out, you can feel perfectly fine and still have hidden gut problems sabotaging your health goals.In this episode, I share my personal GI Map and food sensitivity test results with Margaret Floyd Barry. I’ve always considered myself a healthy guy, so I was genuinely shocked by what we found lurking in my gut, including specific bacteria and a common parasite that could be getting in the way of my goal to build and maintain muscle.Margaret breaks down exactly what the tests show, connecting the dots between my history of antibiotic use, my current diet, and the specific imbalances that need attention. We uncover everything from my immune system being on high alert to a hidden reaction to gluten I never knew I had. This conversation is a fascinating look at how deep testing can provide a clear roadmap to optimize your health, even when you think you’re doing everything right."The mechanism by which food sensitivities are created is primarily through a compromised gut." ~ Margaret Floyd BarryAbout Margaret Floyd BarryMargaret Floyd Barry is a renowned Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and the founder of Restorative Wellness Solutions, where she trains health practitioners in the same strategies she has successfully used to transform her clients’ health.
