Light isn’t just something we see; it’s a nutrient our bodies depend on. New research shows that sunlight and infrared light boost mitochondrial function, support brain health, and may even influence obesity and seasonal illness. Today’s guest breaks down why modern life leaves so many of us light-deficient and shares simple steps to bring this essential pillar of health back into their daily routine.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with quadruple board-certified physician Dr. Roger Seheult to explore the often-overlooked role of light, especially infrared light, as a vital nutrient for our health. Dr. Seheult breaks down how modern lifestyles have led to a widespread deficiency in natural sunlight, contributing to issues like cognitive decline, obesity, and chronic disease. He shares insights from his clinical experience, the latest research on light therapy, and practical steps anyone can take to increase healthy light exposure. Dr. Seheult also outlines the eight laws of health, highlighting how nutrition, exercise, sunlight, and rest work together to support long-term well-being.
