This is Vitamin D expert Dr. Roger Seheult.

He's spent years researching what sunlight REALLY does to our bodies. In his recent DOAC podcast he said:

The sunlight advice is killing millions of people every year.

Here's the truth they don't want you to know: Image
As a critical care doctor, Dr. Seheult has watched thousands die in the ICU.

He noticed a pattern: patients who got sunlight recovered faster. Patients who stayed indoors died.

The vitamin D supplements weren't working. Something else was ↓
Taking vitamin D supplements simply isn't enough.

We're taught sunlight equals vitamin D. Therefore, take a supplement and you are good.

The truth is, sunlight has far more benefits than just vitamin D.

The real magic? Infrared light ↓
Infrared light from the sun penetrates up to 8 centimeters deep into your body.

That's not surface level. That's reaching your organs, your blood vessels, your brain tissue.

And it does something incredible to your mitochondria...
Your mitochondria are like car engines.

As you age, their energy output drops by 70%. Imagine running your house on 70% less power.

In liver cells: fatty liver
In heart cells: heart failure
In brain cells: DEMENTIA
Here's what infrared light does to your mitochondria:

It activates a cellular "switch" in just 15 minutes.

Research by Glenn Jeffrey (UCL) shows that mitochondria start producing their own cooling system, melatonin, RIGHT IN THE CELL.

Not brain melatonin. Cellular melatonin.
This cellular melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that prevents oxidative stress.

Think of oxidative stress as cellular rust.
It's what makes your mitochondria overheat and shut down.

Infrared light = cellular air conditioning system.
Glenn Jeffrey tested this on humans:

15 minutes of red light therapy improved glucose metabolism immediately.

More efficient mitochondria = better cellular energy = less blood sugar spikes.

The byproduct? Higher carbon dioxide in exhaled breath (proof of better metabolism). Image
COVID proved this theory. Hospitals checked vitamin D levels religiously.

High vitamin D = survival.
Low vitamin D = death.

So they gave vitamin D supplements to dying patients.

Result: Didn't work. Image
Dr. Seheult realized vitamin D was just a MARKER.

High vitamin D = person goes outside = getting infrared light
Low vitamin D = stays indoors = no infrared light

The vitamin D supplements missed the point entirely.
The proof: Brazilian study on COVID patients.

They made jackets with 940-nanometer infrared LEDs (invisible light).

15 minutes daily for 7 days:
• Better oxygen levels
• Stronger breathing
• Improved blood markers
• 4 DAYS SHORTER hospital stay

Insane results! Image
Dr. Seheult started taking his ICU patients outside.

One COVID patient on 35 liters of oxygen, 100% concentration:

Day 1 outside: Dropped to 15 liters
Day 3: 12 liters
Day 4: 8 liters
Day 5: Discharged home with NO oxygen

Here is what sun did to him ↓
The Swedish followed 30,000 women for 20 years.

Women who avoided the sun had the SAME mortality risk as smokers.

Avoiding sunlight = same death risk as cigarettes. Image
Americans spend 93% of their time indoors.

Peak deaths occur exactly 1 month after the shortest day of the year (December/January).

In Australia? Peak deaths in June/July (their winter).

Deaths follow sunlight patterns, not social patterns. Image
The mitochondrial connection to dementia:

Your brain cells have the highest concentration of mitochondria in your body. When they fail. you get brain fog, memory loss, cognitive decline.

15 minutes of sunlight is like hitting the mitochondrial reset button. Image
But there's more to the story.

Sunlight is just 1 of the 8 pillars Dr. Seheult discovered that prevent cellular aging:

N - Nutrition
E - Exercise
W - Water (hot/cold therapy)
S - Sunlight
T - Temperance
A - Air
R - Rest
T - Trust

NEW START framework. Image
Your body is designed to be outside.
Your mitochondria are solar-powered.

15 minutes of morning sunlight isn't just "nice to have." You must do it! It's essential.

Stop living like a vampire.
Sun vs. no sun → who looks healthier?

I'll leave it up to you to decide. Image

Everyone knows Novak Djokovic.

But few know about the extreme biohacking routine that keeps him dominating at 38.

It's so effective, he's outlasting rivals 15 years younger.

Here's his insane longevity routine:
Novak dominated tennis for 20+ years.

• Record 428 weeks at #1
• 24 Grand Slams across all surfaces
• Only player with Career Golden Masters twice

At 38, he's still elite.

Let's break down the biohacking methods that built this legend: Image
1) His morning ritual is a masterclass in cellular optimization:

• Warm water + lemon + pinch of salt (detox + electrolytes)
• Green tea/celery juice (natural energy boost)
• Gluten-free oatmeal with mixed nuts, seeds, berries
• Green algae powder for minerals (spirulina)

This exact sequence every single day.

Everything you've been told about hydration is wrong.

The beverage industry profits from keeping you sluggish, bloated, and buying more.

Here are 9 hydration myths they don't want you to question:

1. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Image
Image
This rule came from a 1945 government report, and even that report said most of the water comes from food.

Hydration needs depend on your body size, climate, and diet.

One-size-fits-all? Total myth.
2. Only drinks can hydrate you.

Up to 20% of your hydration comes from food, especially fruits and veggies like watermelon, cucumber, and spinach.

Soups, stews, and even oatmeal all count.

Hydration isn't just about what you drink, it's what you absorb.

Big Pharma’s worst nightmare:

Shilajit

A 3,000-year-old resin that naturally boosts testosterone, fights chronic fatigue, and slows aging at the cellular level.

Here’s why they call Shilajit "Black Gold" and how to use it right (without getting scammed): 🧵 Image
Shilajit is a blackish-brown, tar-like substance first found in India's Himalayan region.

It oozes from rocks at high altitudes, forming over centuries from decomposed plants and minerals.

In Sanskrit, "shilajit" means "destroyer of weakness."

But modern science reveals why:
1. Boosts Testosterone and Male Fertility

The fulvic acid and minerals in shilajit help balance hormones.

In a 90-day trial, healthy men taking purified shilajit saw:

• 20.4% ↑ in total testosterone
• 19.1% ↑ in free testosterone
• 31% ↑in DHEAS vs placebo

Your kid’s cereal is banned in France.

So are your chicken, milk, and bacon.

The FDA says they’re "safe." But 100+ countries say otherwise.

Here are 10 everyday American foods banned overseas — and why: 🧵 Image
Image
1. Ground Beef

American Pre-Packaged beef includes “pink slime” — leftover scraps sprayed with ammonia gas.

This process is banned in the EU and Canada.

Yes, ammonia — the same stuff in your toilet cleaner.
2. Skittles

Banned in Sweden, Norway, and Austria

These contain synthetic color dyes including Yellow 5 (Tartrazine), Yellow 6, Red 40, & Blue 1.

These dyes cause hyperactivity, allergies, and cancer risk (DNA damage), but remain legal in the US. Image

Shay's thyroid was completely removed in surgery.

2 months later, something happened that her surgeon called "impossible."

In 37 years of practice, he'd only seen it twice before.

But this case was different in a way that shocked him... Image
Image
Let me tell you Shay's story.

It challenges everything you've been told about the human body's limitations.

And it might change how you think about your own healing potential:
Shay had hyperthyroidism.

Her thyroid was working overtime, flooding her system with hormones.

Heart racing, weight loss, anxiety attacks.

The conventional medical answer was clear:

"Breakfast is the most important meal" is based on ZERO evidence.

Ancient cultures often skipped breakfast entirely or ate much later.

Here's the surprising truth about when you should actually eat your first meal: 🧵 Image
Where did "breakfast is most important" come from?

Not ancient wisdom - but a mix of Victorian health reformers and 1900s marketing.

Kellogg's cereal empire turned morning meals into moral imperative.

The science behind it came much later - and tells a different story...
Look at history's most disciplined warriors:

Spartan soldiers built Europe's strongest army on minimal morning meals.

Their legendary black broth - eaten once daily - fueled military dominance.

Success came from discipline, not breakfast rules...
