Topics
Andrew Huberman: 保持健康的免疫系统是避免感染的关键,特别是面对感冒和流感病毒时。我们需要了解如何避免生病,以及如何更快地恢复健康。 Dr. Roger Seheult: 为了保持健康,特别是避免感染性疾病,遵循"NEWSTART"原则至关重要。这包括:营养(选择天然食物,避免加工食品);运动(适度运动,降低炎症);水(体内补水和体外用水,如桑拿、冷水浴);阳光(特别是红外线,能深入皮肤,影响线粒体功能);节制(避免摄入毒素);空气(呼吸新鲜空气,例如森林浴);休息(充足睡眠,改善免疫系统)。信任(对更高力量的信任,以及社区支持)也是重要因素。 Dr. Roger Seheult: 阳光中的红外线能深入皮肤,影响线粒体功能,改善整体健康。线粒体自身产生大量褪黑素,作为抗氧化剂对抗氧化应激。研究表明,阳光可以有效预防流感,纬度与流感暴发时间密切相关。红外线疗法可以提高线粒体效率,改善胰岛素敏感性和降低甘油三酯。阳光照射可以降低多种疾病的死亡率,包括心血管疾病和癌症。即使是皮肤敏感的人,也可以通过穿衣来减少紫外线照射,同时获得红外线益处。 在冬季阳光不足时,每天15-20分钟的阳光照射非常重要。红外线灯可以作为补充,但要注意剂量。热疗法(如热水浴、桑拿)可以提高体温,促进干扰素分泌,增强免疫力。冷疗法(如冷水浴)可以促进血管收缩,使白细胞释放到血液循环中。N-乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)可以支持肝脏代谢,减少粘液,改善呼吸道症状,并可能有助于预防流感症状。锌补充剂也可能对免疫系统有益,但需注意铜的摄入量。

Chapters
Dr. Seheult introduces the NEWSTART acronym, encompassing Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust, as key pillars for maintaining a healthy immune system and overall well-being. These elements contribute to reducing inflammation and improving the body's natural defenses against illness.
  • NEWSTART acronym (Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, Trust)
  • Importance of mild-to-moderate exercise for inflammation reduction
  • Role of internal and external water (hydrotherapy) in supporting the immune system
  • Benefits of sunlight exposure beyond vitamin D production
  • Impact of air quality and phytoncides (forest bathing) on innate immunity
  • Importance of adequate sleep (7-8 hours) for immune function
  • Role of trust, community, and spirituality in stress reduction

Shownotes Transcript

My guest is Dr. Roger Seheult, M.D.), a board-certified physician in internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, critical care, and sleep medicine at Loma Linda University. We discuss the powerful benefits of light therapy, including infrared light, red light, and sunlight, for improving mitochondrial function in all the body’s organs. We also explore ways to reduce the risk of influenza, colds, and other illnesses that affect the lungs, sinuses, and gut.

Topics include the flu shot, whether handwashing truly prevents illness transmission, and treatments for long COVID and mold toxicity. We review the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), the power of hydrotherapy for combating infections, and strategies for improving sleep and overall health. Additionally, we discuss air quality. This episode provides actionable, science-based tools for preventing and treating infectious illnesses.
