In this episode, we talk to neurosurgeon and health visionary Dr. Jack Kruse. His work has reshaped the conversation on how our environment—sunlight, circadian rhythms, cold, and even the way our cells make water—directly impacts mental health, resilience, and human performance.
This episode delves into the intricate relationship between mitochondria, mental health, and the environment. Dr. Kruse emphasizes the critical role of mitochondria in providing energy to neural circuits and how dysfunction can lead to various mental health issues. The discussion highlights the importance of environmental factors, particularly light exposure, in mental health recovery. Dr. Kruse advocates for a return to nature and the necessity of sunlight for optimal brain function, challenging conventional views on mental illness treatment.
