1255. The 8 Pillars of Health Doctors Don’t Teach You + Why Your Body Is Starved of Sunlight w/ Dr. Roger Seheult

Author: Heal Squad April 7, 2026 Duration: 1:05:41
Hey Heal Squad! Today is one of those conversations where the sun is finally going to make a lot of sense. We’re sitting down with Dr. Roger Seheult, a quadruple board-certified physician and the co-founder of MedCram, a platform that’s helped millions understand complex medical topics in such an easy way. And that’s exactly what happens in this episode! Dr. Seheult explains why our bodies are designed to run on light cues, how modern life is disrupting our natural circadian rhythm, and why so many of us are struggling with sleep… but more importantly, what we can actually do about it.We talk about simple shifts like getting morning sunlight as soon as you wake up, dimming lights and limiting screens at night, and creating a real wind-down routine so your body knows it’s safe to sleep. He shares how even small changes (like stepping outside during the day or reducing bright light after sunset) can start to reset your rhythm almost immediately. He also introduces something the Heal Squad has never heard before: the NEWSTART philosophy. These are 8 simple rules for health ...Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust…that you can start layering into your life one by one. And yes… we even go deeper into why spirituality, trust, and letting go can actually impact your physical health more than you think. Get ready for a lot of aha moments, Heal Squad…we’re so excited for you to hear this one. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS NEWSTART is your health blueprint: Real healing isn’t complicated, it’s foundational. Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust all work together to strengthen the body.  Sunlight is not optional, it’s essential: It’s not just about vitamin D. Sunlight is a full-spectrum signal that tells your body how to function, impacting your energy, mood, immune system, and even long-term disease risk. Sleep is when your body does the real work: Your body repairs, detoxifies, and resets while you sleep, but only if your circadian rhythm is aligned. The right light during the day and less light at night is what makes deep, restorative sleep possible.
