Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD

Dr Alexander Wunsch, German physician and photobiology researcher, explores how ultraviolet light shaped evolution and human biology. He discusses UV's role in mutation and adaptation, skin pigmentation and defenses, circadian and photoendocrine systems, and practical heliotherapy and individualized UV dosing. Short, provocative conversations on balancing sunlight benefits and risks.

Astrophysicist Robert Fosbury joins Dr Max Gulhane to explore an extraordinary idea: that the dominant photon energy of our Sun closely matches the metabolic activation energy that powers life on Earth.We discuss:• How stars generate order by exporting entropy as light• Why living systems mirror stellar thermodynamics• The 0.66 electron volt “control barrier” shared across biology• The 10²¹ scaling relationship between solar photons and electron transport chains• How near-infrared light influences mitochondrial function• Why indoor environments are metabolically different from natural light environments• The quantum biology of water, tunneling, and photometabolismRobert Fosbury is an honorary professor at University College London and Emeritus Astronomer at the European Southern Observatory. He has applied his astrophysics background to matters of light & biology interaction with fascinating insights and perspectives.PODCAST SPONSORS🧡 HARDBLOCK Australia's Longest Running Bitcoin-only (₿) ExchangeUse code REGENPOD for AUD 10 of bitcoin post verification  https://www.hardblock.com.au/join/REGENPODSUPPORT MY WORK🚨 DAYLIGHT COMPUTER.

Christopher J. Stadtherr, MD, a family and obesity medicine physician focused on metabolic care, explains how visceral fat drives disease risk and how to spot it visually and on imaging. He outlines lifestyle-first levers: food choices, fasting, circadian light, stress reduction, and training. He also compares GLP-1s and surgery as tools when lifestyle alone is insufficient.

Prof. Sunil Wimalawansa, an esteemed endocrinologist and vitamin D expert, dives deep into the critical role of vitamin D in immune function. He discusses how it activates immune cells and emphasizes the importance of maintaining optimal levels through sun exposure and proper dosing. Sunil explains the benefits of calcifediol for rapid repletion during acute illness and reveals its efficacy during the COVID era. He also highlights the lesser-known benefits of vitamin D beyond bone health, including its impact on autoimmune diseases and overall wellness.
