Episode #242: Harnessing the Power of UVB Light for Health with Mitolux LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

Do you get enough sunlight? Most of us don't get adequate exposure to the sun's beneficial rays. 
 
In today’s episode, I sit down with Gerardo Gutierrez (Guti), the creator of an innovative UV light device that mimics the healing properties of natural sunlight by delivering red, infrared, and UVB light frequencies in a specially formulated sequence. Guti shares insights from his research into how these different light bands impact our biology and overall well-being. Strategic sunlight exposure provides a wide range of health benefits - from boosting vitamin D, serotonin, and testosterone levels to improving conditions like eczema and psoriasis. 
 
Overall, this conversation provides a nuanced understanding of light and its impact on our health. We discuss the benefits of light therapy and the MitoLux device. 
 
A few years ago, Guti went through depression, low vitamin D levels, and other health issues. Instead of staying on medication long-term, he discovered the therapeutic benefits of sunlight exposure. Taking daily sunbaths allowed him to get off antidepressants and testosterone replacement therapy within just 3 months. Now Guti is on a mission to educate others about getting their "daily dose of sunshine" through strategic light exposure, whether from the sun itself or his therapeutic UV light invention.

Key Takeaways:
 
Strategic sun exposure, particularly in the morning and evening, can provide numerous health benefits.
Infrared light has protective effects and can neutralize free radicals created by UV exposure.
UVA rays are linked to skin aging and certain types of cancer, while UVB rays can cause sunburn but also trigger the production of vitamin D and serotonin.
The MitoLux device emits UVB light and is designed to provide the optimal dose for health benefits.
