In this enlightening episode, I explore the power of sunlight on health and well-being with Gerardo Gutierrez, affectionately known as Guti. Guti shares his personal journey from battling pre-diabetes, low testosterone, and depression to achieving a healthier lifestyle through regular sun exposure. We talk about common misconceptions regarding sunlight, emphasizing its overlooked benefits and the historical significance of sun therapy. We examine the crucial roles of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light in boosting our physical and mental health, with a particular focus on the importance of UVB rays for vitamin D production.
