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.CONSULT DR MAX🩺 Comprehensive Health Consulting & second opinion - www.drmaxgulhane.com/consultingPODCAST SPONSORS🧡 HARDBLOCK Australia's Longest Running Bitcoin-only (₿) ExchangeUse code REGENPOD for AUD 10 of bitcoin post verification  https://www.hardblock.com.au/join/REGENPODSUPPORT MY WORK🎤 PRIVATE MEMBERS GROUP on Skool platform - weekly Q&A, my 52-page eBook, PDF resource downloads & more.

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.CONSULT DR MAX🩺 Comprehensive Health Consulting & second opinion - www.drmaxgulhane.com/consultingSUPPORT MY WORK🎤 PRIVATE MEMBERS GROUP on Skool platform - weekly Q&A, my 52-page eBook, PDF resource downloads & more.

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.Listen to the Eleana V PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WQR4ggZZQgSCF1CLk15nGYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ui_nOM9Y-8To be the first to be notified about MRI Visceral fat scans, join my website mailing list - www.drmaxgulhane.com Send us Fan Mail🧡 HARDBLOCK Australia's Longest Running Bitcoin-only (₿) ExchangeUse code REGENPOD for AUD 10 of bitcoin post account verification Support the show

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.CONSULT DR MAX🩺 Comprehensive Health Consulting & second opinion - www.drmaxgulhane.com/consultingSUPPORT MY WORK🎤 PRIVATE MEMBERS GROUP on Skool platform - weekly Q&A, my 52-page eBook, PDF resource downloads & more.

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.TIMESTAMPS00:35 The Importance of Phytochemical Diversity in Animal Diets03:24 Health Implications of Feedlot vs. Rangeland Beef06:14 Consumer Awareness and Ethical Considerations in Meat Production09:14 Environmental Impact of Feedlots vs. Sustainable Practices11:48 The Role of Indigenous Breeds in Sustainable Agriculture15:05 Adaptation of Cattle to Climate Change and Drought Conditions18:04 The Economic Benefits of Indigenous Breeds20:54 Case Studies and Personal Experiences with Nguni Cattle23:55 Conclusion: The Future of Sustainable Beef Production36:10 The Importance of Adaptation in Cattle Breeding38:32 Genetic Resilience and Disease Resistance41:32 The Impact of Foot and Mouth Disease45:36 Grazing Management and Land Management Strategies53:46 The Dangers of Selective Grazing58:34 High Density Grazing and Its Benefits01:03:41 The Future of Sustainable Beef Production01:17:05 Moving Away from Feedlot ProductionFOLLOW RICHARDContact [email protected] Research Gate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Richard-Fynn-2132304344Grazing smarter: science-based grazing strategies, not only stocking rate, determine rangeland outcomes - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2989/10220119.2025.2609078FURTHER LISTENING ON NGUNIMy Nguni interviews - https://www.youtube.com/playlist? list=PLrv4qp8WwfQG8lBXPL2BFx0sBAwA-jFboAUSTRALIAN NGUNI BREEDERS Henham Ngunis - https://www.henhamngunis.com.au/Dr Gabriël Roux, Genesis Nguni - http://www.genesisnguni.com/NGUNI COMMUNITY Nguni Association of Australia - https://www.nguni.au/Nguni Australia Instagram - https://instagram.com/nguni_australiaNguni Association of South Africa - https://nguni.co.za/Nguni Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/ngunicattle/Nguni Australia Facebook Group -https://www.facebook.com/nguniaustraliaFollow DR MAXWebsite: https://drmaxgulhane.com/ (SIGN UP TO MY EMAIL LIST)Private Group: https://www.skool.com/dr-maxs-circadian-resetCourses: https://drmaxgulhane.com/collections/coursesTwitter: https://twitter.com/MaxGulhaneMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_max_gulhane/Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1661751206Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/6edRmG3IFafTYnwQiJjhwRLinktree: https://linktr.ee/maxgulhanemd#nguni #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagricultureSend us Fan Mail🧡 HARDBLOCK Australia's Longest Running Bitcoin-only (₿) ExchangeUse code REGENPOD for AUD 10 of bitcoin post account verification Support the show

In 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.Listen to the Sovereign Life with Dale Warburton - https://open.spotify.com/show/7vwwcwGyBpNZJnh6kAUbkPSend us Fan Mail🧡 HARDBLOCK Australia's Longest Running Bitcoin-only (₿) ExchangeUse code REGENPOD for AUD 10 of bitcoin post account verification Support the show

I speak with Johnathan Jarecki, undergraduate science student and host of The Signal Podcast, on all things photobiology. 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 also discuss how artificial light at night suppresses melatonin and disrupts the circadian control of DNA repair, cardiovascular health, and metabolism. TIMESTAMPS03:25 Dr. Max Gulhane04:02 Dr. Gulhane's Love for Science and Medicine09:01 What is Light?12:52 Sunlight Broken Down as a Nutrient14:02 Ultraviolet Light: Sunlight Is More Than Vitamin D15:56 POMC21:38 UVA/UVB on Cardiometabolic Health24:40 Big Picture of UV Light28:41 Sunlight, Skin Cancer, Dermatology Messaging, The Vitamin D Paradox35:10 Blue Light, Artificial Light at Night (ALAN), Mechanisms38:50 Sponsor: Daylight Computer40:34 ALAN, Epidemiology, Cancer, Heart Disease45:04 DNA Repair Mechanisms, Circadian Control47:27 Melanopsin (OPN4), Blue Light, UV Susceptibility53:25 Red, Infrared, Photobiomodulation, Metabolism01:00:08 Blue Light, Metabolism, and the Built Environment01:05:19 Photobiology of Atherosclerosis01:10:11 Blue Light on Cardiovascular Function01:12:25 Three M's of Circadian Health01:18:43 Sunlight, Testosterone, and Reproductive BehaviorFull show notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15zOnh_l6WOe6237CbQrFPkeoQjUZXIm9Ul4ncQTNXDQ/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0Show sponsors:🚨 DAYLIGHT COMPUTER.
