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 in...

We discuss the profound effects of light on health, specifically the role of sunlight in energy production within the body. We also cover the evolutionary significance of light exposure, the mechanisms by which different wavelengths of light interact with biological systems, and the implications for health and disease, particularly cancer. 

Cameron Borg is a qualified nutritionist, practicing pulmonary scientist, podcaster and health coach from Sydney, Australia. He hosts the Ricci Flow Nutrition Podcast, interviewing world leaders including Gerald Pollack, Stephanie Senneff, Scott Zimmerman and more. He is a leader in applied circadian and quantum biology in Australia. 

World leading quantum biologists of the Guy Foundation join me to discuss the ground-breaking Space Health Report and its implications for human health and chronic disease on Planet Earth.
