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!).

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
