EnergyMD Podcast

In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD, sits down with Eleanor Stein, MD, to explore how sunlight can be used strategically to increase energy and support recovery in long COVID and ME/CFS. Eleanor Stein, MD, is a medical doctor and psychiatrist with 36 years of personal and clinical experience in complex chronic illness. After experiencing significant improvement in her own health, she shifted her focus to sharing practical, science-based tools rooted in neuroplasticity, hormesis, mindset, and quantum biology. Together, they explain how red and infrared light from the sun directly support mitochondrial function and energy production. They discuss the research showing that red light exposure can increase carbon dioxide output, a marker of improved cellular metabolism, and why this matters for people with fatigue and metabolic dysfunction. They also clarify how light acts as a hormetic stressor, why small doses are beneficial, and how to apply sunlight exposure safely using a personalized Goldilocks dose. In this episode, you'll learn: How red and infrared light from the sun stimulate mitochondrial energy production Why increased carbon dioxide output reflects improved cellular metabolism How blue LED light can negatively impact metabolic function and blood sugar What hormesis means at the cellular level Why small, intermittent stressors activate repair pathways How oxidative stress can be beneficial when properly dosed How to find your personal Goldilocks dose for light exposure Why pacing is critical if you have post-exertional malaise How light, temperature, fasting, and breathwork fit into a broader hormetic framework Why discomfort in the right dose can support healing If you are interested in learning more about Eleanor Stein, MD, and her work, including her community membership "Live! with Dr. Stein", visit: https://www.eleanorsteinmd.ca/live .

In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD welcomes Troy Roach, a citizen scientist and educator, to discuss the revolutionary use of low-dose nicotine patches in the treatment of Long COVID. Troy Roach, originally from California and a graduate of Virginia Tech, works as a Medical English teacher for nursing and physiotherapy students at two universities in Madrid, Spain. After being severely debilitated by COVID-19 in March 2020, with his functional capacity reduced to approximately 30 percent, Troy dedicated himself to Long COVID as a citizen scientist. He joined the Renegade Research community, including Remission Biome, and spearheaded an observational study in 2023 on the use of low-dose nicotine patches for the condition. This study analyzed data from 231 participants, with the results published alongside Dr. Leitzke in 2025. Troy is currently preparing for a longitudinal, IRB-approved follow-up study aimed at further developing evidence-based recovery strategies for Long COVID.
