He was literally two days away from dying. So this is a story where a 15-year-old boy was diagnosed with blood cancer, but he developed a flesh-eating infection in his lung. He wasn't gonna make it. So he has one request. He wants to go outside. And that's exactly what they do. And this was actually mind-blowing to me. After the second day, the infection is probably 60, 70% gone. And it became clear to me that sunlight has so many important benefits. For instance, if you're the bed closer to the window, you get discharged from the hospital faster.

Steven Bartlett (0:59)

So I want you to give me any information you have as it relates to light health. For example, do you recommend these kinds of things?

SPEAKER_3 (1:08)

Dr. Roger Seheult is a board-certified critical care physician who breaks down complex science into clear, life-saving advice.

Roger Seheult (1:15)

I see people at the very end of their lives, so I know what prevents them from getting this illness and how to extend life. So let's distill it down into eight pillars. The first thing, exercise. It reduces stroke. It reduces depression. Next, sunlight. Did you know that infrared light from the sun is able to penetrate up to about 8 millimeters and stimulate and upregulate melatonins, which prevent a lot of diseases like dementia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes.

Steven Bartlett (1:40)

What if you live in a cloudy country?

Roger Seheult (1:42)

There's some very actionable things that you can do, and we'll talk about that. Next one, water. For instance, people who use sauna are more likely to have less death from cardiovascular disease. Next, air. There are studies that showed that just going out one day a week can elevate our immune system and make us more relaxed. And then there's ****.

But finally, trust. This is something that can't be ignored because studies have shown that people who have a good faith and trust in a God are...

Steven Bartlett (2:57)

Dr. Roger Seheult, with the work that you do, what is it that you're aiming to accomplish?

Roger Seheult (3:03)

Outside of my clinical duties, it may be even part of that, I would like to clearly explain very easily graspable tools that can be implemented to make people live their best life. And it's specifically in terms of their health and their well-being.

Steven Bartlett (3:23)

And as we dig down into health and well-being, because that's quite a broad basket, what is it within health and well-being that you've spent your career, your life focusing on?

Roger Seheult (3:31)

So I'm a board certified internal medicine specialist. Then I did an extra three years of training here in the United States on pulmonary and critical care. So I deal with all of the issues that are related to the lungs and the critical care aspects. So if you are admitted to hospital and you're critically ill, you go to the intensive care unit, I'm the doctor that you see. So I'm putting in the lines, putting on vasopressors, intubating them. I worked in the clinic this morning.
