108. Magnetism, Mitochondria & Human Health | Prof Geoffrey Guy & Alistair Nunn
23/09/2026 | 1h 2 mins.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.

Support the show- 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.

26/07/2026 | 1h 45 mins.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.

Support the show106. Nguni Cattle, Regenerative Grazing and the Future of Food | Prof. Richard Fynn
14/07/2026 | 1h 20 mins.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.

Support the showHealth Sovereignty Blueprint: Light, Food and Opting out of Managed Decline | Dr Max on Sovereign Life Podcast
29/06/2026 | 1hIn 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.
