    How Red Light Powers Your Mitochondria & Why LEDs Harm Your Health | Dr. Glen Jeffery

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at University College London's Institute of Ophthalmology and a leading expert on how light interacts with mitochondria to shape health and aging.  Today, he discusses how red and near-infrared light penetrate deep into the body and improve mitochondrial function and overall health. We also discuss how detrimental modern indoor life has become and why expensive red light panels are likely unnecessary and possibly harmful. By the end, you'll understand sunlight as a biological input your body evolved to depend on and the low-cost, practical steps you can take to get more of it.

  2. Light as a Nutrient: Sunlight, Circadian Rhythm & Metabolic Health | Dr. Max Gulhane

    Jun 8

    Light as a Nutrient: Sunlight, Circadian Rhythm & Metabolic Health | Dr. Max Gulhane

    Dr. Max Gulhane (MD) is a practising family medicine physician and health-optimising physician with a passion for root-cause analysis of human chronic disease and longevity. We discuss the full solar spectrum and how ultraviolet, visible, blue, red and near-infrared light each affect human physiology, including the POMC pathway, nitric oxide and blood pressure, and the evidence on sunlight, skin cancer and the vitamin D paradox. We discuss how artificial light at night suppresses melatonin and disrupts the circadian control of DNA repair, cardiovascular health, and metabolism. For those interested in light and circadian health, Dr. Gulhane offers a grounded, mechanism-focused framework for aligning daily light exposure with human biology. Full Show Notes here.

  3. How Water Powers Cellular Energy & Human Health | Dr. Gerald Pollack

    How Water Powers Cellular Energy & Human Health | Dr. Gerald Pollack

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Gerald Pollack, a renowned professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington and founding editor-in-chief of the journal Water. Dr. Pollack is widely recognized for his groundbreaking discoveries in cell biology and water science, particularly his identification of the “fourth phase” of water—also known as EZ (exclusion zone) water. His research offers a radical rethinking of how water functions in biological systems, challenging classical theories.  Today we explore the foundations of Dr. Pollack’s theory, emphasizing the influential research of the late Gilbert Ling. We begin by examining key topics such as the existence of the cell membrane, evidence challenging ATP as the cell’s energy currency, and the disproofs of the membrane-pump theory. We also question conventional models of the atom and consider how Dr. Pollack’s findings connect to these paradigm shifts. Finally, we discuss the discoveries from Dr. Pollack’s lab and their far-reaching implications for biology and human health.

    In this episode, my guest is Grandmaster Adrian Simon Lowe (LoLo), the living lineage holder of LAMAS QiGong and direct descendent of Su Wu. Now in his 80s, Master Lowe has been practicing Qi Gong for over 70 years. This has earned him the distinction of being the leading authority in this field of Qigong. He is the author of The Stress Elimination Handbook, and has shared his wisdom on some of the world’s largest stages. Today, we discuss Master Lowe’s upbringing, including his family’s history and childhood experience with Qi Gong. We also cover the key differences between Tai Chi and Qi Gong and the intricacies of LAMAS Qi Gong. Master Lowe showcases his profound intuitive and energetic abilities, sharing compelling stories of their impact in action. Throughout the podcast, he helps us understand what qi is and how it relates to the energetic properties of the human body.

    Godfather of Quantum Biology: Upbringing, Huberman, Light, Water, & Magnetism | Dr. Jack Kruse

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jack Kruse, a respected neurosurgeon and CEO of the Kruse Longevity Center. Dr. Kruse is a leading voice in the health and wellness space, known for his innovative approach to understanding human biology through the lenses of light, water, and magnetism. His work challenges conventional medical paradigms, providing a fresh perspective on how our environment shapes our health.   Today, we discuss Jack’s upbringing–from childhood to academia. We also cover the moment I asked Dr. Andrew Huberman, in front of thousands of people, about his takeaway from the 7-hour-long podcast he was on with Jack and Rick Rubin. We then covered specific questions I had on light, water, and magnetism, highlighting researchers such as Arturo Solís Herrera, Gerald Pollack, and William H. Philpott.  Full Show Notes Here Whole Health Podcast On Instagram @wholehealthpod  Time Stamps:  00:00 Introduction  01:50 Jack Kruse & His Upbringing  03:39 Elementary School Experience  05:42 Teenage Jack Kruse  07:52 Journey in Academia  27:21 Becoming Alpha Jack & Running Naked  32:55 Growing up as a Catholic & the Belief in God  34:56 Jack’s Curiosity and Ability to Question  36:13 Does Jack Believe in God? 37:12 Asking Andrew Huberman about Jack Kruse  37:22 Jack Asks me My Thoughts on Huberman’s Response  38:20 Why Andrew Responded the Way He Did  39:56 Jack on The HubermanLab Podcast  41:12 Huberman to Leave Stanford  43:13 MK Ultra 9.0 46:23 Video of Rick, Andrew, & Jack Podcast / Dynamic in the Room  49:19 Dr. Alexis Cowan  51:28 The Podcast’s Impact on Me  53: 26 Rick Rubin’s Goal With The Podcast  53:52 Light 58:05 ATP 01:00:46 Dr. Alexis Cowan’s Princeton Light Lab (Alexis & Nicole Shanahan Watch This) 01:03:04 Magnetism  01:07:02 Audience Questions  01:07:14 The Fabians 01:10:20 The Drones  01:13:11 Moon Light  01:14:41 Platypuses Glow Under UV  01:15:56 Hyperberic Oxygen Therapy / Alternatives  01:22:52 Buy Floor-Plan to Jack’s House  1:23:27 Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? 01:24:20 Thank You Support the show Podcast Website Whole Health Instagram My Website My Instagram My X

    Transform Your Health by Optimizing Mitochondria, Bioelectricity, and Alkalinity | John Galamaga

    In this episode, my guest is John Galamaga, a licensed massage therapist and certified personal trainer from the Cooper Institute in Dallas. He’s also a Senior Master Instructor in LAMAS QiGong, and a foremost expert in the field of health and wellness with over 40 years of experience. Today we discuss how to leverage movement, nutrition, and other lifestyle factors to enhance your overall health.  John draws from his extensive experience to share personal stories and setbacks that led him to profound insights. After a health scare during a workout and unsatisfactory answers from his cardiologist, John, 20 years old at the time, sought alternative solutions with an open mind. His journey revealed that the traditional medical approach might not be the best path to a healthier lifestyle. Building on this, we explore why high-intensity training might not be the optimal route to better health and its effects on mitochondrial function. We then discuss science backed practices that enhance mitochondrial health, which have yet to emerge in the mainstream fitness world. We also discuss proper stretching techniques, the idea of a “one diet fits all” approach, ancient practices of Qigong and sungazing, electromagnetic therapy, and he challenges common misconceptions within the health space. We close the discussion with actionable steps and key takeaways to help you kickstart and further your health journey. Full Show Notes Here.

  7. Season 1, Episode 1 Trailer

    Welcome

    Hi, my name is Jonathan Jarecki. I am a young student passionate about health and helping others find answers through evidence-based wellness. My hope for this podcast is to bring zero-cost content and science-backed information to the general public. My goal with the podcast is to decentralize health, placing it in the hands of the individual and shedding light on the underlying causes of dis-ease. I take a preventative, holistic, and decentralized approach to wellness. Knowledge is power. The more knowledge we absorb, the more independent we can become, the more we can move away from centralized medicine. ☀️ Podcast coming soon ☀️ Support the show Podcast Website Whole Health Instagram My Website My Instagram My X
