In this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely speaks with Gerardo Gutierrez - "Guti", founder of Mitolux, about one of the most overlooked pillars of wellness: sunlight. After facing pre-diabetes, low testosterone, and depression, Gerardo turned away from lifelong medications and toward natural healing. His recovery began with daily sun exposure—a simple shift that dramatically improved his hormone levels, mood, and overall vitality.
Gerardo now educates others on the science of light: how UVB, red, and infrared wavelengths support vitamin D production, hormone balance, mental clarity, and even skin health. He also shares why he created the Mitolux lamp—to help people safely access the benefits of sunlight indoors, especially in modern lifestyles that keep us indoors and afraid of the sun.
If you've ever wondered whether sunlight could be more healing than harmful, this episode is a must-listen.
