Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD

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.

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.

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.

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.
