In this episode, I sit down with Brett Harrelson, longtime raw vegan, fruit lover, and brother of actor Woody Harrelson, to talk about how eating living foods has shaped his life, health, and longevity.

Brett discovered the raw vegan lifestyle at 28 years old and has been living a high-fruit, high-raw diet ever since. Now 62, he’s thriving, strong, active, and full of energy, a walking example of what’s possible when we nourish the body with living, light-filled foods.

We talk about his transition into a fruit-based diet, how it’s impacted his mental clarity, fitness, and aging, and what keeps him inspired after three decades of raw living.

This episode is an inspiring reminder that food is not just fuel, it’s information, it’s light, and it has the power to support ageless vitality.

In this episode of The Frui-Tea Podcast, I sit down with Zaid K. Dahhaj, a circadian biology educator and heliotherapist dedicated to restoring humanity’s relationship with natural light. Zaid teaches the forgotten science of how sunlight, movement, and environment shape hormonal rhythms, mitochondrial function, and systemic health. Through his publication on Substack, The Circadian Classroom, he blends evolutionary wisdom with modern biophysics to help people realign their biology with the sun and reclaim their vitality in a world built against it.

Zaid’s work deeply resonates with me, as he teaches much of what I also share through The Sunshine Diet. We hold many of the same beliefs and practices around the sun, yet he’s been studying and researching these topics far longer than I have, so it was such a gift to speak with someone more seasoned and well-read in this field. I hope you enjoy this illuminating conversation as much as I did.

After a long break, I’m back with a cozy catch-up episode. I share the highlights of my summer, the practices that boosted my sun tolerance (yes, months without sunscreen on my body!), and how that connects to the philosophy behind my Sunshine Diet course. I also open up about my goals for fall and winter, how I’m planning to carry the light into the colder months, and what you can keep in mind to support your own sun exposure as the seasons shift.
