Marbella Life Podcast: #42 Fredrik Paulun - The Sun Guy: How the Sun Could Save Your Life

Today I’m joined by Fredrik Paulún also known as The Sun Guy. Fredrik is a qualified nutritionist with a master’s degree in nutritional science, and the author of multiple bestselling books that have sold millions of copies worldwide. And now he is shifting from food to light and its potential in preventing disease, and even supporting the fight against cancer. For years, the media has taught us to fear the sun, but what if the truth is the opposite? What if light itself is the medicine we’ve been missing?

Fredrik’s Biography

Fredrik Paulún is one of Sweden’s most prominent nutritionists, health entrepreneurs, and bestselling authors. With a magister’s degree in nutrition, he has built a career spanning over 30 years, simplifying complex nutritional science for a broad audience.

He founded the “Paulúns” brand of healthy foods, which became an international success (now owned by Orkla), and leads Verduro Group— a health-focused group that includes ventures like Swiftr (a digital fitness platform), Svensk Provtagning (blood testing), and Verduro Light Therapy.

Fredrik has written ~20 books, many of them translated into several languages, with total sales exceeding 1–1.5 million copies. His earlier work focused on topics like the glycemic index, low-carb diets, and healthy fats. In recent years, his interest has turned strongly toward light and red light therapy. He released Ljusrevolutionen (2023), a book that treats light as an essential nutrient and explores its roles in healing, boosting the microbiome, disease prevention, and overall health.
