Secret SUNLIGHT Benefits [with Dr. Roger Seheult]

For years the official line was hide from the sun. Dr. Roger Seheult and I talk about why that advice was too simple, and what sunlight actually does besides vitamin D.
Infrared light goes deep. Morning light sets your clock. Hospitals that put people near windows and outdoor air often see them do better. Indoor blue light at night does the opposite.

You do not need a $400 panel to start. Get outside. Face and skin, even on a cool day. Twenty or thirty minutes beats another lecture about sunscreen as a lifestyle.
If you live under office lights and wonder why you sleep like garbage and get sick every winter, watch this. Then go stand in the actual sun.

5 years ago I recovered from advanced stage cancer that some people thought I wouldn’t survive. I was the only patient I am aware of in the hospital that went outside everyday. I couldn’t walk very far, so I had to use a wheel chair to get myself outside, where I laid down in the grass under the sun 45-60 minutes. Even in the cold of winter I sat outside to get natural light. No doctor advised me to do this. No doctor advised me to follow a low carb diet, but I did it. No doctor advised me to supplement with vitamin D, but I did it. No doctor advised me to fast during chemo treatments, but I did it. I survived cancer and the brutal, toxic treatments. I suspect sunlight, the other things I did, and my very skilled surgeon cured me. I still intentionally go outside everyday for at least an hour, and I usually catch the sunrise. Be sure to spend some time in natural light.

As someone who lives in a green space, prioritizes sunrises and sunsets and eats a meat based diet ive never felt so damn good!

At the beginning of the covid scare I read online from doctors all over the world that all the patients admitted to the hospital were D deficient. I upped my supplementation of D to maintain at least 50ng. And increased my vitamin C and magnesium. I also went walking and sunbathed everyday. Our whole extended family did the same. I also drove 60 miles to spend a few days with my little grandkids every weekend. Never got sick to this day. We just spent the weekend together outside. My daughter makes sure her 3 kids go for a long walk with her every morning and then they do their school work. She homeschools them. They are healthy, no junk food, no TV or extended screen use. She got rid of their TV and gaming system when her first was 6 months old. All you hear in their home is the sound of kids talking and laughing.

That hospitalized young man saved his own life with a simple, easily achieved request. "I just want to go outside." I will never forget about him, his mother and family, nor his story. Ohhhh, what a blessing!!!❤

I JUST started doing sun therapy! I sit in my walker and play music. So healing.

I lost the ability to tan. Went keto, lost weight, fixed my type 2 diabetes, metabolic disease etc, put on my bathing suit, went outside and started with 15 minuets of sun in early spring. I have a nice tan and haven’t burned once since. I take no supplements. I use no sunscreen other than a bit of makeup on my face.

@oilsandmoreforhealth4829 1 year ago

During the 1918-19 flu pandemic, there wasn’t enough space in the tents for all the patients. The ones they moved outside in to sun, recovered much quicker. This should be common knowledge. My people perish for a lack of knowledge.

Love this!!! I have been a sun tanning expert for 73 years! 😂😂😂😂I can remember my mom telling me that she took me out in the sunshine since the day i was born. I have spent hours in the sun not just playing but sunbathing. I don't miss an opportunity even to this day that I pass up on sunshine. At 73 I am not wrinkled, I don't have leather skin and I most definitely do NOT use any kind of sunscreen. I also follow Dr. Berry's advice on eating and i don't eat sugar or refined carbs and don't drink alcohol. Not 100 % percent carnivore but pretty darn close. Thank God healthy as can be and super active. I. am an avid snowboarder and mountain biker and have many hobbies. The minute you stop moving you start deteriorating, I believe that 100%!!!!

Thank you for this valuable talk. My mom was born in 1950. She said when she was a baby my grandmother and all the other mothers back then would put their babies outside in their strollers for sunshine, no matter what season.

I like how mature, intelligent people who don't agree on one thing can respect each other enough to listen, hear, understand and eventually agree on something else.

@donaldreed5197 1 year ago

I am now 74 and two years carnivore because I believe it helps my five-year survival of prostate cancer. But carnivore is unbelievable. I had a skin condition on my arms where five minutes in the sun would cause red blotches raised welts and itching. Since carnivore I can go in the sun For six or seven hours no sunscreen no effects feel wonderful. Just as an aside I live in New England and I spend my winters in a sunroom facing south with a woodstove in front of me and it is addictive to feel how good you can feel in the winter time in New England. I also live completely surrounded by many trees in the forest and try to spend as much time outside as possible. Thank you, Dr. Barry for giving me the carnivore experience and basically saving my life. Thank you.

Can you believe they where actually arrested people for going to the beach and we put up with it

@wretchlikeme6899 1 year ago

I’m 66, blonde hair, blue eyes, fare skin. I spend 5 to 6 hours in the sun a day and have my whole life. No sun screen, no sunglasses and feel fine.

@maryg1338 1 year ago (edited)

We are retired and wanted to move into a condo, which is fine, however, I told my husband that we wouldn’t be outside and moving as much, as we have multiple garden beds. That’s not good. The less you do, the less you can do. Fresh air and sunshine along with breaking a sweat is just the ticket needed in a healthy retirement. Thank you for this valuable information

I have found, with the increase in consumption of beef, I DO NOT burn. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I feel great with a tan. I live in Florida

@maryfields6649 1 year ago

Dr. Berry, I hung on every word of this interview. I'm 82 years old and have been carnivore for 5 1/2 years. I have had some health challenges but have fully recovered and am living my best life. I love the sun and sun bath almost every day for 20 to 30 minutes. I've never worn sunscreen and have very healthy skin. I have shared this video with my two sisters who are also elderly but healthy and active. Thank you, Dr. Berry for all you do to help us stay informed. Staying strong and fully engaged in life at 82 😊

@sandramorton5510 1 year ago

I am 72, my GP which I had for 20 years, repeatedly said, Go over to the beach everyday after work and sit for at least 30 minutes, longer if you can. Now that I am retired I spend 50% of the day outside.
