Steven Bartlett just hosted the world’s top critical care physician.

Dr. Roger Seheult revealed:

• A habit that cuts heart disease risk by 40%
• A common mistake as deadly as smoking
• A 15-minute fix to reboot your cellular energy

His 10 most shocking revelations: Image
1. A dying 15-year-old was saved by sunlight (not medicine)

He had leukemia. A flesh-eating fungus destroyed his lungs.

Doctors gave him 2 days to live. His dying wish: Go outside.

After 5 days of sun exposure, the infection vanished 60-70%.

He walked out alive.
2. Sunlight creates melatonin inside your cells (not just your brain)

Infrared light penetrates 8cm into your body.

It triggers mitochondria to make cellular melatonin, which protects cells.

Without it, mitochondria overheat causing diabetes, dementia, heart disease.
3. Avoiding sun is as dangerous as smoking

Swedish researchers tracked 30,000 women for 20 years.

Women who avoided sun had the same death rate as smokers.

The finding was so shocking they repeated it.

Richard Weller confirmed with 400,000 UK subjects.
4. Studies show hospital beds by windows discharge patients 4 days faster

Patients closer to windows heal faster, need less medication, report less pain.

We used to build hospitals with verandas for sun therapy.

Now we lock patients in windowless rooms.
5. Forest Bathing 2x your healing light exposure

Trees reflect infrared light back at you. (amplify it)

They also release phytoncides (healing compounds you breathe in).

Japanese CEOs tested this. Their natural killer cells jumped 50%.

Effect lasted 7 days from one walk.
6. People using saunas 4-7x weekly have 40% less cardiovascular death.

Saunas mimic fever to supercharge your immune system

When you heat your body to 38°C, interferon production jumps 10-fold.

This kills viruses naturally. Cold plunge after keeps heat in longer
7. Red light therapy actually rebuilds your mitochondria

Glenn Jeffrey at UCL proved 670nm red light penetrates skin and reactivates dying mitochondria

15 mins improved eyesight 25% and fixed glucose metabolism.
8. Your bedroom needs cave-like darkness for melatonin

Even tiny LED lights (clocks, chargers) shut down melatonin production completely.

Blue blockers help but aren't enough - light still leaks in.

"Dark days and bright nights" literally increase death rates.
9. Modern LED bulbs are poisoning your sleep.

Old incandescent bulbs gave full spectrum light (including invisible infrared that heals).

"Efficient" LEDs only emit blue.

For the first time ever, humans get blue without red. Your cells are starving.
10. COVID proved sunlight beats vitamin D supplements

High vitamin D predicted survival. But supplements didn't work.

Dr. Seheult took patients outside instead.

One went from 35L oxygen to discharge in 5 days.

Brazilian infrared jackets cut hospital stays by 33%.
Bonus: Your mitochondria lose 70% of their power as you age

This is why you feel tired.

Your cellular batteries are running at 30% capacity by age 60.

This causes every chronic disease: diabetes, dementia, heart failure.

But 15 minutes of infrared light resets them daily.
Longevity isn't about one magic bullet.

Dr. Seheult's "NEW START" framework is the blueprint:

N - Nutrition
E - Exercise
W - Water (including hydrotherapy)

S - Sunlight
T - Temperance (avoiding toxins like smoking and excess alcohol)
A - Air (fresh, clean air)
R - Rest (nightly sleep + weekly rest)
T - Trust (faith/spiritual practice)

Andrew Huberman had world's leading nutrition expert on his podcast.

Alan Aragon exposed why 90% of diets fail and gave a science-backed blueprint for building muscle, getting lean, and staying fit for life.

His 10 takeaways will change how you think about fat loss forever: Image
Alan Aragon isn't just another nutrition guru.

He's co-authored the most cited studies on protein timing and body composition.

His research has been implemented by Olympic athletes, NBA teams, and millions worldwide.

Evidence-based nutrition at its finest.
1. You can absorb way more than 30g of protein/meal.

Studies show benefits up to 100g in a single sitting.

For muscle growth, aim for 0.4-0.6g per kg body weight per meal.

The key is hitting 0.7-1g per pound daily - distribution barely matters.

~93% of adults have metabolic dysfunction.

It’s why you can’t lose weight, feel foggy, and are tired all the time.

Stanford's leading metabolism expert Dr. Casey Means calls it the root cause of most chronic disease.

Her 10 tips to fix your metabolism & get your energy back: Image
1. Walk 10 minutes after every meal.

This simple habit cuts glucose spikes by 30-35%. No equipment needed.

Studies show 7,000 daily steps reduce death risk by 70%. But timing beats total count. Post-meal walks work like medicine.
2. Eat single-ingredient foods 80% of the time.

In NIH studies, people ate 500 fewer calories daily on whole foods vs processed. Without trying.

Your cells recognize real food and signal fullness.

Stick to foods without labels: Meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit

Steven Bartlett just had world's leading anti-ageing expert on his podcast.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick revealed:

• A workout that makes your heart 20 years younger
• A habit that cuts mortality risk by 50%
• A diet habit as deadly as smoking

Her 10 most shocking revelations: Image
1. Not getting enough vitamin D raises dementia risk by 80%.

70% of Americans are deficient from staying indoors, missing UVB to make D3.

4,000 IU/day gets most from deficient to optimal for just $0.10/day.
2. Having low omega-3 levels is as bad for mortality as smoking.

A Harvard study lists "not eating seafood" as a top preventable cause of death.

The resulting low omega-3 levels carry a mortality risk as high as being a smoker.

Fix this easily with 1-2 grams of fish oil daily.

This doctor called out the root cause of burnout in healthcare.

It's not long hours or low pay.

It's something far more fundamental that medical training overlooks.

Here's what's really burning out over 50% of our frontline heroes: Image
Healthcare is in crisis.

Over half of physicians report high symptoms of burnout.

We’re losing doctors faster than we can replace them.

But the cause and the cure aren’t what you’d expect...
Dr. Sarah Lea is a family physician trained in maternity and addiction medicine.

She built a thriving practice. Balanced work and motherhood.

On paper, everything looked ideal.

But something invisible started breaking:

You've been lied to.

The fitness industry profits from keeping you overweight, injured, and buying more.

Here are 10 exercise myths they don't want you to question:

1. Running destroys your knees. Image
Research shows runners often have denser cartilage and stronger ligaments.

Pain usually comes from poor form, bad footwear, weak tissues, or ramping up volume too fast, not from running itself.
2. Your knees shouldn't pass your toes when squatting.

This outdated advice creates more strain on your hips and low back.

In real life (sports, stairs, jumps), knees pass toes all the time.

Let your body move naturally. That’s how it stays efficient.

98% of us can build an Alzheimer's-resistant brain.

You forget names. Walk into rooms confused.

If you're over 50, you panic it's dementia.

But Harvard's top Alzheimer's researcher Lisa Genova discovered

5 simple changes that protect your brain from this decline: 🧵 Image
Meet Lisa Genova:

• Harvard-trained neuroscientist
• NY Times bestselling author
• Expert on memory and brain health
• Author of "Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting"
• Over a decade studying Alzheimer's

But first, understand what causes Alzheimer's:
Alzheimer's starts with amyloid beta protein forming sticky plaques in your brain.

After 15-20 years of buildup, these plaques trigger tangles, inflammation, and cell death.

Before that tipping point? Your forgetting is completely normal.

The prevention window is massive:
