    109. LDL & Better Metabolic Health: The Keto Cholesterol 'Paradox' | Dave Feldman

    Your waist shrinks. Your insulin falls. You feel better. But your LDL cholesterol goes up.  Dave Feldman joins me to unpack one of the most debated questions in low-carbohydrate nutrition: what does a substantial rise in LDL mean when other markers of metabolic health improve? Dave is an engineer, citizen scientist and lipid researcher who originated the term “lean mass hyperresponder”. He explains his lipid energy model and why some people eating very low-carbohydrate diets develop high LDL alongside high HDL and low triglycerides. We also examine his interpretation of the Keto-CTA research, the limitations of coronary plaque measurements, and the unanswered questions that require longer follow-up. Our conversation goes beyond blood markers to explore vascular injury and repair, immune responses, sleep and circadian biology.

    Circadian Rhythms, Mitochondrial Health & Visceral Fat | Dr Max on Fitness Wisdom Podcast

    I speak with Andreas Christou on 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.

    108. Magnetism, Mitochondria & Human Health | Prof Geoffrey Guy & Alistair Nunn

    What happens to biology when Earth’s magnetic field becomes weaker—or disappears entirely? Dr Max Gulhane is joined by Professor Geoffrey Guy and Alistair Nunn of the Guy Foundation for a deep exploration of magnetobiology, geomagnetism, quantum biology and mitochondrial health. We discuss how magnetic fields influence mitochondrial membrane potential, electron transport, reactive oxygen species and cellular adaptation. We also  discuss the radical-pair mechanism, electron spin, animal magnetoreception, the South Atlantic Anomaly, geomagnetic storms and the non-linear biological effects of different magnetic-field strengths.

    The Hidden Fat That Could Be Making You Sick | Dr Max on Eleana V Podcast

    In this episode, I join Eleana V to talk about body fat and in particular visceral fat i.e. the fat that surrounds our internal organs and can be hidden even in people who appear to be a “normal” weight. We discuss why visceral fat is different, what health conditions it’s associated with, why we don’t routinely measure it and the role of MRI and DEXA in assessing body composition. We also explore what actually helps reduce visceral fat and we finish with a quick-fire HOT TAKE round covering Ozempic, seed oils, coffee, alcohol, cold plunges, red light, grounding, sunscreen, CGMs and more.

    107. Nitric Oxide, LDL and the Missing Link in Heart Disease | Peter Anderson

    Why can two people with similar LDL levels experience radically different cardiovascular outcomes?  In this episode, I speak with Peter Anderson about the possibility that endothelial nitric oxide may be one of the major variables separating these outcomes. We explore whether nitric oxide can be understood as a protective “bank” that is progressively depleted by ageing, hypertension, smoking, insulin resistance, obesity, sleep deprivation, psychological stress and circadian disruption. We also discuss dietary nitrate, rocket and beetroot, oral bacteria, sunlight, ultraviolet A, infrared light, movement, erectile function, flow-mediated dilation, ketosis, statins, calcium scores and the emerging controversy surrounding coronary CT analysis in lean-mass hyper-responders.

    106. Nguni Cattle, Regenerative Grazing and the Future of Food | Prof. Richard Fynn

    Are cattle inherently destructive—or have we simply built the wrong agricultural system around them? In this episode, Dr Max Gulhane speaks with Professor Richard Fynn, a rangeland ecologist and conservation scientist at the University of Botswana, about the future of beef production, regenerative grazing and indigenous African cattle. Professor Fynn explains why beef raised on diverse natural rangelands is fundamentally different from beef produced through grain-based feedlots. They explore how the phytochemical diversity of a cow’s diet may influence animal health, meat quality and flavour, as well as the broader consequences of feedlot production for animal welfare, biodiversity, soil carbon and the conversion of grasslands into cropland. The conversation then turns to Nguni and other indigenous African cattle. These animals have been shaped over generations by heat, drought, parasites, disease and nutritionally challenging landscapes. Their smaller frames, fertility, browsing ability and resilience may make them better suited to a hotter and increasingly variable climate than many large European-derived breeds. TIMESTAMPS 00:35 The Importance of Phytochemical Diversity in Animal Diets 03:24 Health Implications of Feedlot vs. Rangeland Beef 06:14 Consumer Awareness and Ethical Considerations in Meat Production 09:14 Environmental Impact of Feedlots vs. Sustainable Practices 11:48 The Role of Indigenous Breeds in Sustainable Agriculture 15:05 Adaptation of Cattle to Climate Change and Drought Conditions 18:04 The Economic Benefits of Indigenous Breeds 20:54 Case Studies and Personal Experiences with Nguni Cattle 23:55 Conclusion: The Future of Sustainable Beef Production 36:10 The Importance of Adaptation in Cattle Breeding 38:32 Genetic Resilience and Disease Resistance 41:32 The Impact of Foot and Mouth Disease 45:36 Grazing Management and Land Management Strategies 53:46 The Dangers of Selective Grazing 58:34 High Density Grazing and Its Benefits 01:03:41 The Future of Sustainable Beef Production 01:17:05 Moving Away from Feedlot Production FOLLOW RICHARD Contact rfynn@ub.ac.bw  Research Gate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Richard-Fynn-2132304344 Grazing smarter: science-based grazing strategies, not only stocking rate, determine rangeland outcomes - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2989/10220119.2025.2609078 FURTHER LISTENING ON NGUNI My Nguni interviews - https://www.youtube.com/playlist? list=PLrv4qp8WwfQG8lBXPL2BFx0sBAwA-jFbo AUSTRALIAN NGUNI BREEDERS  Henham Ngunis - https://www.henhamngunis.com.au/ Dr Gabriël Roux, Genesis Nguni - http://www.genesisnguni.com/ NGUNI COMMUNITY  Nguni Association of Australia - https://www.nguni.au/ Nguni Australia Instagram - https://instagram.com/nguni_australia Nguni Association of South Africa - https://nguni.co.za/ Nguni Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/ngunicattle/ Nguni Australia Facebook Group -https://www.facebook.com/nguniaustralia Follow DR MAX Website: https://drmaxgulhane.com/ (SIGN UP TO MY EMAIL LIST) Private Group: https://www.skool.com/dr-maxs-circadian-reset Courses: https://drmaxgulhane.com/collections/courses Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaxGulhaneMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_max_gulhane/ Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1661751206 Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/6edRmG3IFafTYnwQiJjhwR Linktree: https://linktr.ee/maxgulhanemd #nguni #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagriculture Send us Fan Mail 🧡 HARDBLOCK Australia's Longest Running Bitcoin-only (₿) Exchange Use code REGENPOD for AUD 10 of bitcoin post account verification Support the show

    Health Sovereignty Blueprint: Light, Food and Opting out of Managed Decline | Dr Max on Sovereign Life Podcast

    In this conversation we unpack why chronic disease is not an inevitability but a consequence of the conditions modern life has created — and why the medical system is structurally incentivised to treat rather than cure.  We get into the metabolic envelope, the evolutionary framework that defines what your biology was actually designed for, and why the circadian rhythm is the most foundational input in the whole system.  We cover sunlight and why public health messaging has it dangerously wrong, the fiat food system and its downstream effects on metabolic health, and the direct parallel between Bitcoin's disintermediation of central banking and ancestral health's disintermediation of the pharmaceutical industry.
