#369 What If You Could Enjoy A SAFE Version Of Sunlight (&Make Your Own Vitamin D) All From Your Desk Or Indoor Living Space? Light Therapy Like No Other | Gerardo Gutiérrez
Today, I’m sitting down with Gerardo Gutiérrez, founder of Mitolux and a leading voice in the world of light therapy and biohacking. Gerardo shares his fascinating transformation from a sun-avoidant photographer—armed with sunglasses and sunscreen—to a pioneer on a mission to help people reconnect with the healing power of natural light. He opens up about the pivotal mindset shift that came from his own health challenges and how embracing sunlight changed everything from his mood to his energy (and even his dog’s health!).
Together, we take a close look at why sunlight is so much more than just vitamin D: from its impact on hormones and mitochondria to mood, metabolism, and even the aging of our skin and eyes. Gerardo dives into the science (and personal stories) behind UVB, UVA, infrared, and the challenges posed by our modern, indoor lifestyle filled with artificial blue light. We also explore practical ways to safely get the benefits of sunlight—no matter where you live or how much time you spend indoors—with tips for using advanced light therapy at home.
If you’re curious about the real relationship between sunlight, longevity, and everyday vitality, this episode is full of actionable insight, myth-busting, and inspiration to bring more light into your life—in every sense.
