Back to EpisodesDr. Max Gulhane: Why Light Is The Key To Regenerative Health | The Quantum Biology Collective Podcast
Description
This is a recent interview I did with Meredith Oke on the Quantum Biology Collective podcast. It reflects my current thoughts on the role of light in health and how the circadian rhythm fits into optimal health.
Dr Max Gulhane is a family physician based in New South Wales, Australia and is the host of the Regenerative Health Podcast. Early in his career Dr Gulhane observed the failure of the pharmaceutical based medical model to adequately address chronic illness and prevent disease, and he began a journey starting with diet and leading to light to understand the best way to manage the common complaints & chronic illness he was seeing in his practice.
In this episode he explains why light and circadian rhythms are so important, why we need a nature based light / dark cycle as the foundation of our health and why most lightbulbs are the equivalent of junk food. We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, enjoy!
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)
