Modern life may be working against our biology in ways we don’t fully understand. Daniel sits down with Dr. Roger Seheult (@medcram) to explore how sunlight, circadian rhythms, infrared light, fresh air, exercise, water, and rest influence our health. They discuss why morning sunlight is essential for sleep, energy, and cortisol regulation, how artificial light and daylight saving time disrupt our natural rhythms, and how infrared light supports cellular energy production. Dr. Seheult also introduces the New Start framework, a simple approach to health built around the fundamentals we often overlook.
From jet lag and seasonal mood changes to the consequences of spending our lives indoors, this conversation challenges us to stop overcomplicating health and start working with our biology instead. Dr. Roger Seheult is a quadruple board-certified physician, critical care doctor, pulmonologist, sleep specialist, associate clinical professor, and co-founder of MedCram, known for making complex medical science practical and accessible.
