What if your circadian rhythm is one of the most important factors influencing your metabolism, energy, sleep, hormones, and mitochondrial health?
In this episode, Dr. Max Gulhane host of the Regenerative Health Podcast, explains how sunlight, circadian rhythm, light exposure, sleep timing, and the environment influence metabolic health, weight management, energy, and longevity.
We explore how modern indoor living, artificial light, screen exposure, and disrupted sleep can interfere with biological rhythms—and why aligning daily light exposure and sleep with natural environmental signals may support metabolic health and energy.
Dr. Max Gulhane also explains mitochondrial function, POMC, appetite regulation, dopamine, eye health, DHA, omega-3s, marine foods, and the connection between the eyes, brain, and circadian biology.
The conversation explores why sunlight and nature may be overlooked factors in metabolic health, mitochondrial function, energy, healthy aging, and longevity—and how the timing and quality of our environmental signals can shape biology.
