The Signal with Jonathan Jarecki

Cameron Borg, MSc, is a science writer and host of the Ricci Flow Nutrition Podcast, with a Master's degree in Medical Science majoring in Nutrition from The Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, where he completed his thesis with the Zubarev lab on biological isotope fractionation.

He explains that tissues across species appear to regulate their carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 content toward a preferred set point. This challenges ecology's long-held "static delta" assumption. He also explains how C4 sugars from corn and cane leave a detectable carbon-13 signature in human red blood cells, and why synthetic supplements may differ isotopically from natural forms. We also discuss the limits of the calorie in complex systems, the Energy Resistance Principle, questions about ATP's "high-energy" bond, and how shade, near-infrared light, and blue twilight shape the light signals your body receives. You'll come away with a systems-level view of nutrition and light, plus practical ideas for aligning your environmental signals.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Roger Seheult, MD, is a physician quadruple board-certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease, critical care medicine, and sleep medicine, an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, an Assistant Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University, and the co-founder of MedCram. 

Today, he explains why vitamin D levels strongly predicted COVID-19 outcomes while vitamin D supplementation largely failed to reproduce the benefit, and makes the case that vitamin D is a marker for sunlight exposure rather than the primary mechanism behind it. He describes the near-infrared portion of sunlight which penetrates through the human body, and the hypothesis that it stimulates melatonin produced inside mitochondria, where it acts as a local antioxidant. We discuss randomized trials of infrared light in hospitalized and ICU patients, why greenery reflects infrared while concrete absorbs it, the Green Heart Louisville tree-planting trial, evidence that bright light at night predicts higher mortality, the NEWSTART framework, the Adventist Health Study, and published research on faith, forgiveness, and health.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Sean Cain, PhD, a Harvard Medical School-trained expert in the impact of light on the human circadian system, a Matthew Flinders Professor at Flinders University, and Co-Founder and CEO of Circadian Health Innovations. 

Today, he discusses how people differ more than fiftyfold in how sensitive their circadian systems are to evening light, that nearly half of modern homes are bright enough at night to suppress melatonin by fifty percent, and that most of us have no conscious awareness of any of it. We discuss the large observational studies he and his team have published linking bright days and dark nights to depression, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mortality, as well as his research on impaired light sensitivity in depression and why the amplitude of your circadian rhythm may matter more than its timing. We also discuss MiEye, the wearable light sensor his team developed, and practical changes to home and daytime lighting that anyone can make tonight.

My guest is my mom, Rosebud, a mother of four who spent fifty years building a life around preventative medicine.

In this episode she tells her whole story: growing up with no money in Ozone Park, Queens; losing her father at three, her brother at thirty-two, and her first husband at twenty-five; and how that grief turned into a set of convictions about how she wanted to raise her children. We talk about the plant-based, vegetable-heavy way we ate growing up, the natural births, the years she spent learning from John Galamaga, and the pushback she took for doing things differently.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at University College London's Institute of Ophthalmology and a leading expert on how light interacts with mitochondria to shape health and aging. 

Today, he discusses how red and near-infrared light penetrate deep into the body and improve mitochondrial function and overall health. We also discuss how detrimental modern indoor life has become and why expensive red light panels are likely unnecessary and possibly harmful.

By the end, you'll understand sunlight as a biological input your body evolved to depend on and the low-cost, practical steps you can take to get more of it.

Dr. Max Gulhane (MD) is a practising family medicine physician and health-optimising physician with a passion for root-cause analysis of human chronic disease and longevity. We discuss the full solar spectrum and how ultraviolet, visible, blue, red and near-infrared light each affect human physiology, including the POMC pathway, nitric oxide and blood pressure, and the evidence on sunlight, skin cancer and the vitamin D paradox. We discuss how artificial light at night suppresses melatonin and disrupts the circadian control of DNA repair, cardiovascular health, and metabolism. For those interested in light and circadian health, Dr. Gulhane offers a grounded, mechanism-focused framework for aligning daily light exposure with human biology.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Gerald Pollack, a renowned professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington and founding editor-in-chief of the journal Water. Dr. Pollack is widely recognized for his groundbreaking discoveries in cell biology and water science, particularly his identification of the “fourth phase” of water—also known as EZ (exclusion zone) water. His research offers a radical rethinking of how water functions in biological systems, challenging classical theories. 

Today we explore the foundations of Dr. Pollack’s theory, emphasizing the influential research of the late Gilbert Ling. We begin by examining key topics such as the existence of the cell membrane, evidence challenging ATP as the cell’s energy currency, and the disproofs of the membrane-pump theory. We also question conventional models of the atom and consider how Dr. Pollack’s findings connect to these paradigm shifts. Finally, we discuss the discoveries from Dr. Pollack’s lab and their far-reaching implications for biology and human health.

Now in his 80s, Master Lowe has been practicing Qi Gong for over 70 years. This has earned him the distinction of being the leading authority in this field of Qigong. He is the author of The Stress Elimination Handbook, and has shared his wisdom on some of the world’s largest stages.

Today, we discuss Master Lowe’s upbringing, including his family’s history and childhood experience with Qi Gong. We also cover the key differences between Tai Chi and Qi Gong and the intricacies of LAMAS Qi Gong. Master Lowe showcases his profound intuitive and energetic abilities, sharing compelling stories of their impact in action. Throughout the podcast, he helps us understand what qi is and how it relates to the energetic properties of the human body. We close the episode by talking about science, food, and wisdom.

In this episode, my guest is John Galamaga, a licensed massage therapist and certified personal trainer from the Cooper Institute in Dallas. He’s also a Senior Master Instructor in LAMAS QiGong, and a foremost expert in the field of health and wellness with over 40 years of experience. Today we discuss how to leverage movement, nutrition, and other lifestyle factors to enhance your overall health. 

John draws from his extensive experience to share personal stories and setbacks that led him to profound insights. After a health scare during a workout and unsatisfactory answers from his cardiologist, John, 20 years old at the time, sought alternative solutions with an open mind. His journey revealed that the traditional medical approach might not be the best path to a healthier lifestyle.

Building on this, we explore why high-intensity training might not be the optimal route to better health and its effects on mitochondrial function. We then discuss science backed practices that enhance mitochondrial health, which have yet to emerge in the mainstream fitness world.

We also discuss proper stretching techniques, the idea of a “one diet fits all” approach, ancient practices of Qigong and sungazing, electromagnetic therapy, and he challenges common misconceptions within the health space. We close the discussion with actionable steps and key takeaways to help you kickstart and further your health journey.
