This 6-pillar curriculum teaches the basic literacy we need to be personally and financially successful and to do so in a manner in which together we evolve a culture that supports the emergence of an advanced human civilization.
When it comes to navigating the modern world, everything begins with health. Solari is inaugurating its Young Builders Series with a powerful conversation about optimal health in a modern world because it sets the stage for a new generation of leaders.
Catherine and team, if I can help please let me know. Lots of gray hair and the two things I know a ton about is how to change the body from the inside out with diet including fermenting kefir and old way fermented veggies. The second thing I have gained a lot of knowledge in is Spiritual Science from Rudolf Steiner point of teaching. More and more the younger are realizing what lives in every one of us. Steiner can help them find the spark and light that is in everyone of us. Many well wishes to all on this journey, to you Catherine and the whole team.
Jimmy,
Feel free to share your knowledge with us on Health Corner! Carolyn and I would love to relay any tips or information to our subscribers that has helped you feel better, heal or get stronger etc… Maybe start with a recipe of how you ferment veggies or make kefir? There are so many recipes out there and it’s easy to make mistakes when you make kefir for the first time. We can include the recipe and advice in our downloadable show notes.
Send us a comment to Ask Catherine, Health Corner from the menu at the top of the page, under “Series”.
Have a blessed weekend,
Jennifer
I’m going to speak with my 17yo this afternoon about the beta test.
Hooray Nathan! I had such a great time speaking with him a few months ago! He is so full of ideas and information. I can’t wait till his website is up and running… I hope to meet up with him again!
God Bless,
Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer. Looking forward to speaking again and sharing more!
Would love to see any scientific studies done to prove any of these claims
Thanks for the skeptic’s view Peter. New information must always be approached with caution, and I was the same as you when I began this journey back in 2015. This is why I always say: don’t just believe me. Do your own research, stay curious, and be willing to put in the work to find answers. The future of your healthspan and your family’s wellness depends on it.
Here are some starting points to explore the evidence, science, and principles that guide a healthier life in today’s modern world:
Core Foundations
Nick Lane – Power, Sex, Suicide: A clear introduction to mitochondria—how these tiny engines inside cells created complex life and remain central to our health today.
Dr. Doug Wallace – Mitochondria: The deeper science of mitochondrial biology and how inherited mutations and energy breakdown drive nearly every chronic disease.
Linda Geddes – Chasing the Sun: Circadian biology made accessible, showing why light exposure at the right times is essential for sleep, metabolism, mood, and longevity.
Dr. Jack Kruse – The Epi-Paleo Rx: A framework connecting food, water, light, and magnetism into a biophysical model for health.
Energy and Environment
Andrew Marino – Going Somewhere: Reveals the corruption in science and the overlooked role of electromagnetic fields in health and disease.
Devra Davis – Disconnected: A beginner’s guide to radiofrequency exposure (cell phones, WiFi, towers) and what the research shows.
Robert O. Becker – The Body Electric: Groundbreaking work showing humans run on direct current electricity and even have regenerative potential.
Arthur Firstenberg – The Invisible Rainbow: The broader story of how the electrification of society has paralleled the rise of modern chronic diseases.
Biophysics and Light
Jim Al-Khalili & John-Joe McFadden – Life on the Edge: Introduces quantum biology and how fundamental biophysics underlies life itself.
Roeland van Wijk – Light Shaping Life: Explores biophotons and how the body is not just electric, but photoelectric.
Fritz Hollwich – The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animals: Shows the central role of the eye in human health, including the dangers of glasses, contacts, and sunglasses.
Nick Lane – Oxygen: Builds on mitochondria with an exploration of oxygen, energy, and evolution, and what this means for human health.
Jacob Liberman – Light: Medicine of the Future: Demonstrates how full-spectrum light affects health, healing, and consciousness.
John Ott – Health and Light: A pioneering look at how natural sunlight shapes biology, and what happens when we filter or remove it.
Advanced Applications
Gabor Somlyai – Defeating Cancer: The science of deuterium-depleted water, its role in mitochondrial function, and its therapeutic potential for cancer.
This is just the beginning. I’ve organized these resources from the most foundational concepts to more complex, deeper explorations. Taken together, they form a core education in biophysics that will give you insights beyond what most doctors, nurses, or specialists are ever taught about how health is truly created in the human system.
But remember—reading is only the start. You must test and apply these learnings to your own context. Each of us is an n = 1 experiment. There are no shortcuts to becoming great in health, but with persistence, you will discover what works for you.
I can help provide shortcuts in guidance, but not in learning. The journey is yours, and it is worth it.
If any topic here particularly interests you, or if you want direct access to scientific papers, I’d be happy to point you toward the best evidence and the shoulders of the many scientists and physicians I have learned from and continue to stand upon.
Best,
Nathan
There are literally 1000s of studies on light and health. Here is a good one on melanin, one of the keys to what Nathan is describing. I can’t attach the pdf but you’ll be able to find it online:
PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MELANIN
Arturo Solis, Maria E. Lara and Luis E. Rendon
Abstract
Melanin is to the animal kingdom like chlorophyll to the vegetal kingdom1. Melanin collects energy from lower-energy radiation sources, kicks electrons into excited states, initiating a process that would end up producing chemical energy, similar to the way in which photosynthesis supplies energy to plants. However, the precise roles of melanin during this process are unknown. Here we show that the increase in the electron-transfer properties of melanin is independent of the energy of the incident photons. We found in controlled in vivo assays that melanin has the remarkable capability of converting lower-energy radiation towards a more useful form of energy. Furthermore, we found that melanin can break up water molecules and giving up energy suggesting an additional behavior mode for melanin. Our results demonstrate how members of the melanin family are likely to function as transducers, oxidizing water, pushing apart water molecules, as well as recruiting back ions into molecules that are subsequently polarized again. Melanin drives the photon energy of lower-energy radiation sources by quenching electrons and initiating an ionic event independently of their relative energy contention. We anticipate our assay to be a starting point for more sophisticated photoelectrochemical applications. For example, the individual and combined action of multiple photovoltaic applications could be tested, including conducting polymers, for example poly- (phenylenevinylene) (PPV) derivatives or C60 particles. Furthermore, melanin’s energy conversion ability is a major target of solar energy conversion development, and an organic-semiconductor way for photoelectrochemical applications will be relevant for such developments.
I don’t think any of the remedies are toxic. Be your own guinea pig, do your own study and share the outcomes.
