1256. 3 Things You Don’t Know About Vitamin D + The Infrared Light That Acts as Medicine w/ Dr. Roger Seheult

Author: Heal Squad April 8, 2026 Duration: 1:06:38
Hey Heal Squad! If you thought Part 1 with Dr. Roger Seheult was good… just wait…this one is truly mind-blowing. If you’ve ever thought sunlight = vitamin D and you can just supplement your way around it… this episode is going to completely shift your perspective. Dr. Seheult breaks down why the benefits of sunlight go far beyond a pill, and why moderate sun exposure may be way more important than we’ve been told. We also get into the power of infrared light, how it may support your mitochondria (aka your body’s energy engines), and why simply getting outside (yes, even being around trees and plants) can have a real impact on your health. We also dive into the fascinating history of sunlight in medicine… from hospitals once being designed to get patients outside, to research during COVID that showed how light may have supported recovery. And Dr. Seheult shares a story you won’t forget—about a critically ill teen whose healing took a shocking turn after one simple request: to go outside. If Part 1 made you rethink sleep and circadian rhythm, Part 2 is going to change the way you think about sunlight, healing, and what your body actually needs to thrive. Get ready for a lot of “wait… what?!” moments, Heal Squad! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Sunlight is more than just vitamin D: It delivers a full spectrum of light (especially infrared) that may support your mitochondria, energy production, and overall cellular health in ways supplements alone can’t replicate. Most of us are actually sunlight deficient: With modern life keeping us indoors, the bigger issue isn’t too much sun ,it’s not enough. Regular, moderate exposure may play a major role in supporting immunity, metabolism, and long-term health. Nature is part of the medicine: Fresh air, green spaces, and even being around trees can amplify the benefits of light. Getting outside isn’t just relaxing, it may actively support healing and recovery on a deeper level.
