• Light as a Nutrient: Sunlight, Circadian Rhythm & Metabolic Health | Dr. Max Gulhane 08.06.2026 1h 25min

  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.Full Show Notes here.

• Godfather of Quantum Biology: Upbringing, Huberman, Light, Water, & Magnetism | Dr. Jack Kruse 23.12.2024 1h 24min

  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.  Full Show Notes HereWhole Health Podcast On Instagram @wholehealthpod Time Stamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:50 Jack Kruse & His Upbringing 03:39 Elementary School Experience 05:42 Teenage Jack Kruse 07:52 Journey in Academia 27:21 Becoming Alpha Jack & Running Naked 32:55 Growing up as a Catholic & the Belief in God 34:56 Jack’s Curiosity and Ability to Question 36:13 Does Jack Believe in God?37:12 Asking Andrew Huberman about Jack Kruse 37:22 Jack Asks me My Thoughts on Huberman’s Response 38:20 Why Andrew Responded the Way He Did 39:56 Jack on The HubermanLab Podcast 41:12 Huberman to Leave Stanford 43:13 MK Ultra 9.046:23 Video of Rick, Andrew, & Jack Podcast / Dynamic in the Room 49:19 Dr. Alexis Cowan 51:28 The Podcast’s Impact on Me 53: 26 Rick Rubin’s Goal With The Podcast 53:52 Light58:05 ATP01:00:46 Dr. Alexis Cowan’s Princeton Light Lab (Alexis & Nicole Shanahan Watch This)01:03:04 Magnetism 01:07:02 Audience Questions 01:07:14 The Fabians01:10:20 The Drones 01:13:11 Moon Light 01:14:41 Platypuses Glow Under UV 01:15:56 Hyperberic Oxygen Therapy / Alternatives 01:22:52 Buy Floor-Plan to Jack’s House 1:23:27 Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?01:24:20 Thank YouSupport the showPodcast Website Whole Health InstagramMy Website My InstagramMy X

• Welcome 09.06.2024

  Hi, my name is Jonathan Jarecki. I am a young student passionate about health and helping others find answers through evidence-based wellness.My hope for this podcast is to bring zero-cost content and science-backed information to the general public.My goal with the podcast is to decentralize health, placing it in the hands of the individual and shedding light on the underlying causes of dis-ease. I take a preventative, holistic, and decentralized approach to wellness.Knowledge is power. The more knowledge we absorb, the more independent we can become, the more we can move away from centralized medicine.☀️ Podcast coming soon ☀️Support the showPodcast Website Whole Health InstagramMy Website My InstagramMy X
• How Water Powers Cellular Energy & Human Health | Dr. Gerald Pollack 05.04.2025 2h

  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.Full Show Notes Here. Follow The Whole Health Podcast on Instagram @wholehealthpodTimestamps 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:17 Welcome 00:02:09 Sponsor: Biojit 00:03:26 Dr. Gerald Pollack00:03:47 Love for Science 00:09:35 Questioning the Textbook and Our Understanding of Water 00:15:07 Jerry’s Teaching Methods 00:17:00 Herold Hillman: Does the Cell Membrane Exist?00:22:13 Gilbert Ling 00:23:26 Ling’s Theory of Water 00:26:26 Writing Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life 00:27:27 The Association-Induction Hypothesis 00:30:12 Independent Disproofs Against the Membrane-Pump Theory 00:31:28 Podolsky & Morales: There is no “High Energy Phosphate Bond” in ATP00:35:24 ATP as a Cardinal Absorbent 00:36:12 Ling’s Stacked Dipole Theory and Why it is Not Accurate 00:40:45 Gilbert Ling’s Inventions, MRI, etc. 00:41:49 EZ Water Electrical Charge 00:43:56 EZ Creating a Battery and its Implications for Cellular Energetics 00:46:02 Infrared Light Powers the Battery 00:51:12 Arturo Herrera, Human Photosynthesis 00:54:51 Polywater 00:57:47 EZ Structure vs. Bulk Water Structure 01:03:34 Infrared Light’s Role in EZ Formation 01:04:20 Hydrogen Bonds SImply a Conjecture 01:05:38 Questioning the Structure of the Atom 01:16:37 EZ Projection of a Meter Long (39 inch)01:21:39 Deuterium and Deuterium Depleted Water 01:23:20 Phase Transitions Within the Cell01:27:15 Continuous Flow Occurs Through Hydrophilic Tubes Immersed in Water 01:36:41 The Driver of Blood Circulation Beyond the Heart 01:42:53 Implications for Human Health 01:55:42 Kangen Water 
• Transform Your Health by Optimizing Mitochondria, Bioelectricity, and Alkalinity | John Galamaga 08.08.2024 1h 12min

  In this episode, my guest is John Galamaga, a licensed massage therapist and certified personal trainer from the Cooper Institute in Dallas. He’s also a Senior Master Instructor in LAMAS QiGong, and a foremost expert in the field of health and wellness with over 40 years of experience. Today we discuss how to leverage movement, nutrition, and other lifestyle factors to enhance your overall health. John draws from his extensive experience to share personal stories and setbacks that led him to profound insights. After a health scare during a workout and unsatisfactory answers from his cardiologist, John, 20 years old at the time, sought alternative solutions with an open mind. His journey revealed that the traditional medical approach might not be the best path to a healthier lifestyle.Building on this, we explore why high-intensity training might not be the optimal route to better health and its effects on mitochondrial function. We then discuss science backed practices that enhance mitochondrial health, which have yet to emerge in the mainstream fitness world.We also discuss proper stretching techniques, the idea of a “one diet fits all” approach, ancient practices of Qigong and sungazing, electromagnetic therapy, and he challenges common misconceptions within the health space. We close the discussion with actionable steps and key takeaways to help you kickstart and further your health journey.
