The Signal with Jonathan Jarecki

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.

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.

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. We close the episode by talking about science, food, and wisdom.

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.
