EP 105: Former Intelligence Analyst On How Lyme Is A Disease of Light

“Statins are prescribed like they’re candy—they’re not. They’re mitochondrial poison,” says Francisco Gutierrez, MD, allopathic trained physician specializing in internal medicine, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to explain why these drugs—which remain among the top three most prescribed in the U.S—not only do nothing for the primary prevention of heart disease but, for most people, do more harm than good. The mass overprescription of statins is based on a misunderstanding of the role cholesterol plays in the body, a misguided correlation between LDL and heart disease, flawed metrics and propaganda.    Today, Dr. Francisco explains what we’re getting wrong about metabolic syndrome and how having a stroke at age 41 led him to first question the traditional medical paradigm. He discusses how many of the symptoms we associate with poor diet are just as much if not more a case of circadian misalignment. He shares stories of clients who have healed many of these symptoms. He also explains the difference between relative risk and absolute risk, how the pharmaceutical industry creates confusion between the two to promote products.   Join today’s episode to learn more about what we’re getting wrong about food, calories and exercise, and we truly build muscle–and it’s not about calories or exercise.    Quotes “The guardians of the ship of resiliency are the mitochondria. The mitochondria are basically what dictates if we’re sick or we thrive…mitochondria are quantum antennas, they pay attention to a lot of different inputs.” (15:10 | Francisco Gutierrez, MD) “By just helping people fix their desynchronized circadian clock, I can show them how their mitochondria function is improving—how? By showing them with a body composition scan—that they’re reducing their body fat and increasing their muscle without exercise…Everybody has this idea that you have to go to the gym and spend an hour and a half and pump iron and that’s the way you’re going to make muscle. Nope. Nature makes your muscle.” (17:45 | Francisco Gutierrez, MD)  “There are two things that really annoy me in how medical care is being promoted: one of them is cholesterol…The other one is the idea of calories.” (19:01 | Francisco Gutierrez, MD) “Food is important, but food is the easiest thing to fix and I’ll explain why. More fundamental is the realization that you can get insulin resistance and fatty liver and high insulin with the resulting metabolic syndrome just by not enough sunlight and too much artificial light.” (23:02 | Francisco Gutierrez, MD) “I was one who thought that the prescription pad was a solution. That’s it. What changed my view was my own stroke because I had to ask myself the question: ‘Why did this happen if I’m doing the things that they tell me to do?’”  (40:36 | Francisco Gutierrez, MD) “Statins are prescribed like they’re candy—they’re not. They’re mitochondrial poison.” (58:27 | Francisco Gutierrez, MD)   Links Connect with Francisco Gutierrez, MD: www.solymardirecthealth.com Socials: @solymardirecthealth    Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“They’re chasing the tail of self-development but they don’t realize that it’s survival stress and stored trauma that they’re managing all the time,” says Irene Lyon, pioneer in somatic and nervous system work, about the many “functionally frozen” people who attempt to engage in healing modalities while ignoring the foundational issue. On today’s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, Irene explains that when we experience trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACE), and fail to release them physically—the way all other animals do in nature—they remain trapped in our autonomic nervous system. This is the basis of a myriad of chronic diseases, biomechanical issues, and dysfunctional behaviors. Until these baseline issues are addressed, healing modalities—namely meditation—remain ineffective and can actually cause far worse problems by bringing trauma to the surface and evoking the body’s original panic response.    By following our impulses, practicing self-regulation and living in closer alignment with  nature, we can not only heal our trauma and open untold vistas of potential, but, being quantum beings, change the course of others, including those in the future and past generations. Irene’s clients have even reported it’s made parenting easy. She’ll discuss how to retrain yourself to best respond when you experience physical pain—including in public—and what to think about before embracing popular techniques such as breath work and cold plunging.    There’s nothing “wrong” with us, we just have stored traumatic memories in our nervous system that wants to move out. Learn more about Irene’s 21-Day Tuneup to learn how you can start to approach the process of somatic healing and nervous system regulation.    Quotes “If you have no place to put the memories that flood through when you get quiet with yourself, psychosis can occur, a chronic illness can occur.” (20:06 | Irene Lyon) “We have unconscious memories of everything that’s occurred to us sitting in our nervous system physiology and so the penny drops and all this old survival stress just bubbles up.” (31:14 | Irene Lyon) “It’s not that there’s something wrong with you per se, it’s that—if we’re really accurate—there’s stored traumatic memory in the autonomic nervous system that wants to move out.” (35:39 | Irene Lyon) “The autonomic nervous system governs the fight/flight/freeze/shutdown/collapse. It also governs our temperature regulation, our digestion, immune system, cardiovascular system, our social engagement. So, when we start to listen to these impulses, it’s like we’re reverse engineering the health of the system.” (51:25 | Irene Lyon)   Links Connect with Irene Lyon, MSc: https://irenelyon.com/ Socials: @irenelyon  Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“Lyme keeps you in a metabolic state of winter,” says Timothy Hammond of Lyme disease, which host Meredith Oke describes as the “apex predator of our time.” While working as an intelligence analyst for the military as well as major organizations and firms, Timothy developed a debilitating case of Lyme. After both pharmaceutical and naturopathic modalities failed to treat it and destroyed his microbiome, he set out to understand the environmental factors–namely light, water and magnetism—which are so crucial to our health and healing. On today’s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, Timothy explains why the answer lay not at the biochemical level but at the biophysical level.   He shares his four pillars to achieving cellular coherence, why the oft-maligned reactive oxygen species are essential to our health, and how foreign EMFs have the same effects as Lyme. He also shares how we can guard ourselves against media manipulation and navigate the series of conflicting narratives all around us.   Learn how Timothy is helping others to optimize their quantum health with his company Regenerint and how to access complimentary materials.    Quotes “Any centralized system is ultimately vulnerable to corruption because of these single points of failure. In the quantum biology space, one of the beauties of it is that this is decentralized. You don’t need to go through any centralized authority or intermediary to go out and reconnect with nature and experience the healing benefits of that.” (24:49 | Timothy Hammond) “I think the isolation from society is part of the worst aspect of any chronic illness.” (35:25 | Timothy Hammond) “It was the same error of thinking in that instead of throwing tons and tons of pharmaceutical medications at my body, they were throwing tons and tons of herbs and supplements…it’s the same mentality of something from the outside having to be inserted in rather than examining what environmental conditions are needed to activate the body’s innate healing capacity and innate healing intelligence.” (36:32 | Timothy Hammond) “These biochemical models, which involved the pharmaceutical approach, the allopathic approach, the naturopathic approach, were all working on the level of biochemistry…so this connection with nature led me to explore biophysics, which is a more fundamental layer upon which biochemistry is built…it doesn’t matter how hard you’re working on the biochemical piece. If your light, water, and magnetism environmental inputs are wrong, you're not going to have the success you’re looking for.” (38:48 | Timothy Hammond)   Links Connect with Timothy Hammond: Website: regenerint.com Full bio: www.timothyghammond.com Socials: @regenerint on Instagram, X, and Facebook   Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“This is the main environmental toxin left to attack, the most pervasive issue, and the most inconvenient truth,” says Tristan Scott who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss the dangers of non-native EMFs, the kind with which we are bombarded on a near-constant basis and the effects of which have been majorly downplayed–if not outright denied–by the entities meant to protect us. Luckily, the methods to circumvent nearly 90% of these EMFs are very simple and almost always free, and Tristan shares those methods with us today.    He also explains why so much of what we thought we knew about the topic is incomplete if not flat out wrong. Foreign EMFs interfere with the signals that our electromagnetic biology receives from the electromagnetic spectrum of the earth. Tristan explains how and why our bodies kick off reactive oxygen species, and why supplements often do far more harm than good. He explains how he came to work on the Daylight Computer, the first biologically friendly computer and what we can expect from it in the near future.    Learn what Tristan learns from his deep connection with nature and how we can take the steps to empower ourselves to mitigate the effects of EMF pollution and forge our own paths back to nature as well.    Quotes “Let me start by saying: This is nothing new. This has been going on for decades. In the 60s, 70s, 80s, it was more so the power frequencies and in some portion of the radio frequency spectrum.” (21:34 | Tristan Scott) “What I like to tell people is, you need to first understand that our biology, at the lowest level, is electromagnetic. It’s based on photons, electrons, protons and the electromagnetic spectrum is vast. It’s all light—most of it’s not visible light——it’s all photonic energy.” (22:05 | Tristan Scott) “This is the last stool that needs to fall. Everyone’s aware of Big Food and Big Ag, and Pfizer and Pharma—they’re all in bed together. So is Big Tech, Big Telecom, and the FCC. It’s the same spiel going on just in this adjacent industry that really has us at the cusp of being completely enamored and completely dependent on their products.” (28:07 | Tristan Scott) “The signal to noise ratio has never been lower, and electromagnetic interference with our biology has never been higher…It’s causing chaos in communication and also inflammation and that’s leading to inflammation and chronic fatigue and chronic disease.” (37:02 | Tristan Scott) “Everyone thinks that reactive oxygen species are purely bad…But reactive oxygen species might just be the most important aspect of our biology because they’re rooted in the cellular communication hub that is our biology.” (42:37 | Tristan Scott)   Links Connect with Tristan Scott: Website: https://daylightcomputer.com Instagram: @tristan_health  X: @bitcoinand_beef   Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“I have a sunshine problem,” realized Dr. Kelsey Dexter, endocrinologist, after, despite living an otherwise clean and healthy life, began experiencing neurological problems and a subsequent diagnosis of MS. After being “aggressively sun avoidant” for most of her life, she began “an intentional sun practice,” and her symptoms were quickly alleviated, sending her down a quantum biology and circadian health rabbit hole. Now, she’s on a mission to help people understand the connection between circadian disruption and chronic disease, and particularly to help address the overrepresentation of obesity and diabetes in the Southeast region of the U.S. where she holds her practice.    Too often, Dr. Kelsey says, people identify too deeply with their diagnoses and diseases, which has repercussions even at the biological level. She expresses support for her fellow physicians who would otherwise embrace preventative medicine more fully but are tied to a traditional system which works against them.    Join today’s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to learn how Dr. Kelsey is joining the charge toward a new medical paradigm.   Quotes “My mission now is to teach people about light. That’s what I’m most passionate about and I want everyone who is faced with any kind of chronic disease to know that they have power over this, and when you change your environment, when you change the inputs, the body has a pretty miraculous way of coming back into balance.” (13:19 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter) “I just hope everybody can hear that message that we are supposed to be in connection with the earth for optimal health, and before you consider taking medicine to modulate your immune function or taking medicine to lower your blood sugar, or whatever, if you have the capacity to connect to the outside world…you can just improve so much more quickly, overall.” (13:53 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter) “It’s so important, no matter what training you have, how many degrees you have, to stay open-minded and to stay curious and to be willing to try things because sometimes sticking to our dogma can really hurt us.” (16:01 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter) “If you over-identify with your illness, your illness will consume you.” (51:00 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter)   Links Connect with Kelsey Dexter: Website: www.kelseydextermd.com (under construction) https://l.bttr.to/pvSh5 (new patient booking link) https://www.skool.com/circadian-health-revival-2974 (Skool group) Instagram: @kelseydextermd   Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense**   To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“The ship is sinking, the people in charge are in denial and they’re making a lot of money,” says Dr. Leland Stillman, who returns to the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss the proliferation of autoimmune diseases—including unfamiliar ones—-and the $1.3 trillion that the pharmaceutical industry is set to make in the coming months, just as people are abandoning the traditional medical paradigm–and its system of perverse incentives—in droves. Today, Dr. Stillman will break down how autoimmune diseases—including POTS and PANDAS, both of which are becoming increasingly common in young people—actually form and function in the body, and how we can begin to take control of our own health.   It begins with identifying and addressing the toxins—both internal and external, from our diets and EMF exposure to our thoughts and relationships—that ultimately erode our cells and their ability to function.    In today’s discussion, Dr. Stillman gets candid about the machinations of the pharmaceutical industry, the burden placed on most physicians.    Quotes: “The pharmaceutical industry is really gaming the system, and I would say this is quite intentional, by saying OK, we’ve studied this drug for ten years, there was no increase in the risk of XYZ, therefore we can unleash it on the public with no black box warnings and complete confidence. And as we’ve seen with one drug, and drug class, after another, oftentimes the system is just set up to not find the bad outcomes.” (17:13 | Dr. Leland Stillman) “Many…have essentially said that the pharmaceutical industry indirectly owns the major medical publishers and journals, and those journal articles, and studies that are published therein, are what is ultimately submitted to the FDA, and they control the process, really, soup to nuts. And there are actually no consequences for them. When they make a mistake and they hurt a lot of people, they actually don’t pay any penalties in excess of their profits.” (17:49 | Dr. Leland Stillman “It’s a completely different paradigm. You have to take charge and ownership of your diet, your lifestyle, your daily routine, the thoughts you think, the words you speak. I’ve seen all of that make a difference in patients’ care. Let alone supplement protocols, medications, everything we’re going to build into our autoimmune recovery program.” (25:11 | Dr. Leland Stillman)   Links Connect with Leland Stillman, MD: Website: stillmanmd.com Socials: stillmanmd     NEW Podcast Site & Episode Guide: www.qbcpod.com Todd at Tresnic for Marketing/Tech Strategies: www.tresnic.com https://thegrowthsuite.com - free guide to growing an online brand   Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“Sleep architecture is the map of how your circadian system is working,” says Dr. Josh Rosenthal, dual board certified sleep and regenerative medicine specialist, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss just how important sleep is to optimal function and the prevention of major diseases. And it's even more important than you might think.    In his practice, Dr. Rosenthal began to encounter patients with more and more health concerns despite their labs being normal. The issue, he says, was sleep fragmentation, a lack of sustained, reparative sleep achieved in the proper order. Today, he explains what a good night’s sleep looks like and how broken sleep architecture leads to major chronic diseases.   He also discusses his own experimentation with light, including effortless weight loss from simply wearing blue blockers for an hour at night. Dr. Rosenthal also explains the emotion code at the heart of many diseases such as cancer and why supplements may actually be hastening your body's deterioration.   Join today's discussion to learn how you can build optimal sleep architecture in your own life and keep your body functioning optimally. Quotes: “Really, what I was seeing was, I think, we’d call ‘circadian disruption,’ and that sleep architecture is, in fact, the map of how your circadian system is working. So, if you get a sleep test and your doctor says, ‘Hey, you’re fine,’ and you look and and you see you have no deep sleep, you have no dream sleep, you have a very small amount or ranges of what that should be, that tells you that the mechanisms are not kicking in.” (8:19 | Josh Rosenthal, MD) “Everything seems to be working until it doesn’t. If I had a nickel for every 40- or 50-year-old who said, ‘I was doing great, until…’... So, sleep is kind of that natural oil change. That’s how you can maintain the car of your brain and your body and your organs and all the different systems. So, getting this right is, in my opinion, absolutely paramount in any sort of healing modality.” (28:15 | Josh Rosenthal, MD) “To me, this is the most powerful feed-forward mechanism for disease, and also, inversely, it’s going to be the most powerful feed-forward mechanism for healing because when you get this right, it’s going to benefit you every day. If you get this wrong, you’ll have a detriment every day.” (32:26 | Josh Rosenthal, MD)    Links Connect with  Josh Rosenthal, MD: Website Quantumlifewellness.com Socials @qlwellness   Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense**   To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“This period in time will be classified as ‘the light revolution,’ says today's guest Jeff Gibson, whose own personal revolution--and revelation–about the importance of circadian light and quantum biology has led him to inspire others. Initially a skeptic, Jeff spent 30 days getting up with the sun and blocking blue light at night. His results were so profound, he became determined to inspire others to do the same, helping to found the Circadian Disruption Challenge, fostering a supportive community of people who understand the importance of circadian balance and that we, like all living beings, are made to transform light into energy.    Jeff sees a near future in which circadian disruptive products such as screens and LED bulbs will come with the same warning as cigarettes. He shares success stories from the Circadian Disruption Challenge, noting the particular effect of circadian discipline on weight loss, and explains why melatonin is the body's anti-cancer hormone.   Grab your blue blockers and join this episode of the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to get inspired and join the light revolution.   Quotes: “I set out to disprove this but I was dead wrong. It actually worked. I started feeling, just as my friend described, a new person. It’s almost like your energy levels get dialed up two or three percent every single day…I felt like a completely new person.”  (6:52 | Jeff Gibson) “You think about it this way: if we had gone back to the 1950s—you see pictures of doctors, nurses all smoking cigarettes in the patients’ rooms—if we were to go in and explain to them, ‘What are you guys doing? Don’t you know that smoking’s bad for your health?’ They would have looked at you like, ‘You’re crazy. ‘Get out of here. Everybody’s doing it, how can it be bad.’ That’s where we’re at with blue light, blue-enriched light from our devices and our bulbs in the evening. We’re in that same spot that if we talk to people about this, their evidence that it’s fine is that everybody’s doing it.” (19:42 | Jeff Gibson) “We are affected by all wavelengths of energy. And it’s only once somebody’s mind is able to make that leap, that jump, to actually realize that we are quantum beings, that we are affected by energy, then and only then will the studies on red light start to make sense.”  (32:30 | Jeff Gibson) “People are figuring this out. I think this period in time, Meredith, that we’re going through is going to be classified in the history books as ‘the light revolution.’” (33:43 | Jeff Gibson)    Links Connect with Jeff Gibson: Website WWW.LIGHTENVIRONMENT.ORG - free circadian awareness website www.thecrdchallenge.com Socials instagram.com/LIGHTENVIRONMENTORG instagram.com/theCRDchallenge x.com/theCRDchallenge Facebook: "The CRD Challenge" FaceBook: The CRD Challenge Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“You can’t be helpless, you can’t outsource your thinking to centralized authorities,” says today’s guest Zaid K. Dahhaj. Nearly a decade into his work in the health and fitness space, Zaid began a deep-dive into the area of circadian optimization and is now passionate about teaching others about it—or more specifically—-encouraging them to teach themselves. A self-proclaimed autodidact with an inherent distrust of authority, he’s deeply skeptical of what he considers to be an incentive-structured healthcare system and of the findings which emerge therefrom. Instead he promotes self-advocacy and taking control of one’s own health. This includes becoming circadian optimized, as the lack of which, he says, is the root cause of nearly all chronic disease.   On this episode of The Quantum Biology Collective podcast, Zaid will reveal products such as sunblock and sunglasses—that centralized healthcare has told us were crucial to our well-being are actually artificially manipulating the light cycle. He explains why everything , the best time at which to eat it, and even the best time to get an X-ray according to circadian principles.    Quotes: “I don’t think people should start off trusting any so-called government-funded expert. I think they should actually start off as a skeptical human being when it comes to these sorts of discussions.” (9:53 | Zaid K. Dahhaj) “The key is that the education is in your hands. Now, we live in a time where education is more decentralized. You have the opportunity to be able to study this work on your own. You don’t have to go to your local doctor or any other so-called authority in the realm, you can just take it into your own hands.”  (12:46 | Zaid K. Dahhaj) “We have to understand that the inputs that light has on the entire body as a system are just as powerful, if not more powerful, than food because food is just an extension of light. And to ignore that fact is really to divorce yourself from nature because you don’t see the chain of how things are working. And I think that’s a big problem that people in modern society struggle with is just this disconnection from nature in general.” (20:57 | Zaid K. Dahhaj) “It’s very important to understand how to use these zeitgebers—again, external circadian cues…That’s what I want people to understand—digestive health, mental health, neurotransmitter production, mood regulation, all of it is downstream from the way that those clocks sync up with each other.” (31:00 | Zaid K. Dahhaj) “Always be experimenting. Always have skin in the game and orient yourself around that.” (100:00 | Zaid K. Dahhaj)   Links Connect with Zaid K.

“We’re first and foremost energy beings,” says today’s guest Deanna Won, who, after a stunning career working as a scientist and in a leadership capacity for the U.S. military took her all over the world, found herself on the brink of death from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. On today’s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, she shares her incredible story of bringing herself back not only from cancer but in many ways healthier and stronger than she was before. She talks to host Meredith Oke about what her experience taught her about the miraculous design of the human body, why she was adamant about refusing chemotherapy even when doctors said it was her only hope, and the peculiar message she received that ultimately saved her life.    Deanna reflects on the amount of circadian light disruption her job caused her and how it affected her mentally and physically. While many people try to treat or prevent disease—which is essentially light incoherence within the body—the emotional and spiritual components are far more important, she argues.  She shares a controversial idea about the connection between disease and certain spiritual entities.   Having started her career working, essentially, with liquid crystal, Deanna shares how humans, with our fascia and connective tissue are, essentially liquid crystal as well. In fact, scientifically, we are like gemstones, made to radiate light.    Quotes: “It didn’t make logical sense to me just looking at it. Why would you put poisons into a body that’s already having immune system issues? It’s so hard on the body. I really believe that any therapy should do no harm to the body and its systems.” (37:53 | Deanna Won) “You learn how resilient our human bodies are when you go through experiences like that. It’s such a marvel. I just believe we have so much wisdom designed in our bodies.” (50:00 | Deanna Won)  “When our bodies, which are designed to actually radiate coherent light, when we get sick or when something is not quite right within an organ or whatever system, we begin to emit incoherent light. And so, in order to correct that, we don’t correct it with food necessarily—yes, there are electrons in there—but we have to go back to the source.” (1:06:15 | Deanna Won) “People are just so on this whole diet thing, and it doesn’t matter how healthy the food you’re eating if you have toxic thoughts or if you have unresolved traumas and past conflicts that have not been resolved.” (1:10:34 | Deanna Won)   Links Connect with Deanna Won: Website: https://deannawon.com Socials: https://www.youtube.com/@DeannaWon https://www.facebook.com/deanna.won/ https://www.instagram.com/deannawon/ https://m.youtube.com/c/DeannaWon https://www.facebook.com/deanna.won/ https://www.linkedin.com/mwlite/in/deannawon https://www.instagram.com/deannawon/   Bon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off https://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses **If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense** To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
