Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD

Birth, pregnancy and fertility are profoundly circadian processes — yet almost nobody talks about the role of light in maternal and infant health.
In this episode, I speak with Nikko Kennedy about melatonin, sunlight, vitamin D, labour physiology, EMF exposure and how modern environments may be disrupting pregnancy and birth. A fascinating discussion on circadian biology, photobiology and reproductive health.

Dr Alexander Wunsch returns to the Regenerative Health Podcast for a deep exploration of photoimmunology, circadian biology, metabolism, melanopsin signalling, infrared light, and the profound biological effects of the modern light environment.
In this conversation we discuss:
Whether sunlight is immune suppressive or immune supportive
The circadian timing of immune function
The relationship between metabolism and light exposure
Melanopsin and the non-visual light pathway
Artificial blue light and metabolic dysfunction
Near-infrared light and mitochondrial biology
Why sunlight cannot be reduced to “vitamin D”
Circadian synchronisation and modern indoor living
Flicker, LEDs and spectral quality
Photobiomodulation and natural sunlight
Dr. Alexander Wunsch, MD, PhD is a German physician, researcher and one of the world’s leading experts in photobiology and light medicine.
