It’s dependent on basically everything that happens to us,” says Dr. Karyen Shanks, physician and author, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to challenge conventional medicine’s disease model and explain why epigenetics—not genetic destiny—holds the key to true healing.In this episode, Dr. Karyn Shanks reveals how her early disillusionment with the reductionist approach of Western medicine led her to become a change-maker from the inside. She advocates for a holistic, whole-person view that goes beyond labels and “disease boxes,” showing that most chronic illnesses are not fixed with magic bullets but through investigating an individual’s unique terrain—sleep, movement, love, trauma, environment—and empowering patients to trust their own innate wisdom. She discusses the dangers of medical gaslighting, the pitfalls of a system obsessed with pathology, and how lasting health requires curiosity, agency, and compassion.Tune in as Dr. Karyn Shanks shares the science behind epigenetics, the power of neuroplasticity, and how shifting our perspective can transform our health journey. Discover why the current system “has no business with chronic illness,” and what practical, hopeful pathways exist for reclaiming wholeness and resilience—no matter how complex or mysterious your symptoms may seem.5 Key TakeawaysStop outsourcing your well-being—take ownership of your health journey and build your own team of holistic healers and supportive practices.Shift from blaming your body to radical curiosity—treat every symptom as wise information, not a personal failure, and stay open to the healing process.Demand real solutions, not just labels—refuse to be gaslit or boxed in by reductive diagnoses and insist on in-depth, whole-person care.Use your environment and lifestyle to change your biology—harness the power of epigenetics and daily habits like sleep, movement, and connection to influence your genetic expression and resilience.Give yourself permission to walk away from what isn’t working—exercise agency by trying, adapting, and integrating new approaches until you find what truly serves you.Memorable Quotes"Our genetic destiny is not set in stone. We weren't designed to follow the exact trajectory of our parents and grandparents—the way our genes express themselves is very fluid and dependent on everything we experience, ingest, and feel.""The equilibrium may feel like suffering, it may look like chronic illness, but it's really this dynamic place. There are so many inroads to shifting where we're at, and one of the things I like to do is show people that terrain—all the things that make you who you are, that feed into your genetic expression, and can be shifted to rise out of suffering.""Our feelings aren't there to torture us—they're

It is as necessary to us as water is to fish—more so," says Dr. Damien Downing, integrative physician, pioneer of ecological medicine, and author of Coherent Health, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to reveal how sunlight, structured water, and our electromagnetic environment fundamentally shape human biology.Once a conventional MD dismissive of “all that stuff,” Dr. Damien Downing details his paradigm-shifting journey down the physics rabbit hole—culminating in a radical understanding: humans are not just biochemical or bioelectrical beings, but also “bioinformational” ones, with the capacity to store and transmit information via structured water and time crystals within our bodies. From exploring why full-spectrum sunlight is far more than “just” vitamin D, to explaining how modern indoor living and non-native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) short-circuit natural health, he breaks down how everything from depression to appetite to the mysteries of consciousness—like telepathy, intuition, and prayer—may finally have scientific mechanisms.In this lively conversation, you’ll hear why Dr. Damien Downing believes mainstream medicine ignores the most essential nutrient of all, sunlight; what structured water and ‘time crystals’ mean for the future of health; how light serves as the body’s original prescription; and practical ways to reclaim your biological coherence.Tune in to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to discover why your health—and maybe your consciousness—depends on the quantum energy all around (and within) you.5 Key TakeawaysSunlight is foundational to health—get outside every day, regardless of the season, and let natural light hit your eyes and skin.Ditch artificial lighting after sunset—replace toxic LED and fluorescent bulbs with biologically friendly alternatives, and minimize screen time at night.Prioritize your sleep environment—remove all sources of non-native EMFs and electronics from your bedroom to optimize deep rest and repair.Use tools like the My Circadian app—track your daily light exposure and circadian habits to start reclaiming your energetic health.Remember, full-spectrum sunlight and grounding are your best “supplements”—start simple, build habits, and witness the transformations in your energy, mood, and resilience.Memorable Quotes"Sunlight is as necessary to us as water is to fish. This is what we evolved in, the whole of life evolved in. A lot of the energy we use, a lot of the incoming energy that we make ATP with and do energetic things in ourselves, comes from light rather than from food.""If it's natural, if we evolved in it for billions of years, then it's got to be good. And if it's non-natural, then it's probably bad, or at least it's capable of being bad.""Faith is a form of coherence. You get this stuff working together; we've all seen things where people...

If you can adapt… and then return to homeostasis, that's health.” says Dr. Stephen Hussey, returning to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to upend everything you think you know about diet, exercise, and the story of health itself.A successful chiropractor, Dr. Stephen Hussey devoted his life to exercising, following all the right nutrition advice, and mastering mainstream health protocols—until an unexpected heart attack in his early 30s shattered his certainty. That event launched him on a quest to uncover not just what’s missing from Western diets, but what’s fundamentally absent from our medical and health education systems: a deep, quantum-biological understanding of how human beings interact with their environment.Now an author, researcher, and faculty member at the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, Dr. Stephen Hussey shares how the focus on diet, exercise, and even supplements remains a “reductionist” misconception—one that ignores the primal roles of light, environment, EMFs, and the body’s need for coherence. He reveals the gaps in both medical and chiropractic education, and explains why the biological mechanisms behind adaptation, circadian rhythm, and environmental signals are essential for true health.Join today’s Quantum Biology Collective Podcast for a radical reexamination of what keeps us healthy, why institutional approaches so often fail, and how you can move beyond mere biochemistry to tap into the quantum and environmental foundations of optimal health.5 Key TakeawaysUpgrade your health paradigm—expand your focus beyond diet and exercise to include environment, light, EMFs, and relationships.Take radical ownership—your daily choices shape your biology more than any institution or standardized advice ever will.Don’t wait for permission—start experimenting, researching, and adapting quantum biology concepts in your life right now.Demand coherence in your body—prioritize practices like sunlight exposure, thoughtful movement, and time in nature to restore natural balance.Seek out practitioners who educate and empower—if your healthcare isn’t evolving with science, find guides who challenge the status quo and support your sovereignty.Memorable Quotes"If you think about what health is, to me, it's the ability to adapt to your environment. If you can adapt to any signal or stimulus in your life, and your body can have a reaction and then return to homeostasis, that's health.""When you look at human physiology and biology, most of our education is from a biochemical and structural perspective. But we have to think about every environmental stimulus our bodies encounter—light, sound, relationships, toxins, movement, food, EMF—all these signals tell our body what to do. Most formal education is missing that philosophy of health.""The most important thing that...

After spending all my student loan money on healing, sunlight was what worked,” says Heather Shepard, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to share her astonishing journey from severe traumatic brain injury to thriving regenerative farmer. After years of debilitating symptoms and failed treatments—ranging from alternative therapies to conventional medicine—she found extraordinary, near-instant relief simply by immersing herself in sunlight. Within just days, her migraines and vertigo began to clear, launching her into the world of quantum healing and quantum regenerative farming.In today’s episode, Heather Shepard recounts her vivid path from training elite athletes to barely being able to walk, her desperate move to the New Mexico desert, and a revelation about the healing power of nature’s rhythms. She reveals why homeopathy is a “quantum medicine,” delves into its energetic mechanisms, and how it became a pivotal part of her own recovery. Heather Shepard also offers a crash course in regenerative agriculture—why it’s superior to organic, how animals restore land health, and what it means for the future of real food. With raw honesty and approachable expertise, she explains why supporting your local farmers is far more than a lifestyle choice—it’s a movement reviving our ancestral connection to land, life, and healing.Tune in to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to discover how Heather Shepard turned sunlight, homeopathy, and farming into a blueprint for radical health—and how you can tap into these forgotten sources of energy and regeneration yourself.5 Key TakeawaysBuy directly from farmers and regenerative producers—your food choices reshape the land, community, and your own health.Get outside and soak up sunlight daily—nature literally powers your mitochondria and transforms your vitality.Support regenerative over organic—ask questions at the farmer’s market and choose animal products raised on rotating pastures whenever you can.Connect with your food’s source—meet farmers, know their methods, and tip them for their devotion to true nourishment.Make shared meals and community gatherings a ritual—real connection and real food revive your energy, mood, and ancestral way of life.Memorable Quotes"My body resonated with the dryness and the sun, and it wasn’t long after moving to New Mexico that I started diving into light, water, and magnetism. I began watching the sunrise, staying outside most of the day, and within three days, I felt completely different—my whole life changed.""In homeopathy, you have a remedy that contains the energetics of a substance, but no trace of the original material remains. That’s what makes it a quantum medicine—the proof is in the results, and you can’t deny the effects.""Buy from farmers, really get to know them. They tend to be good-hearted people who solve problems,

She shares how unraveling the intricate connection between sunlight, circadian rhythms, and ocular health transformed her approach to medicine and her own wellbeing. In a world awash with artificial light and rampant blue-light exposure, she reveals why most of us are suffering from a “21st century scurvy”—deficient in the infrared sunlight our mitochondria desperately need.In this episode, Dr. Valerie Giangrande demystifies the science of light’s impact on hormones, metabolism, mood, and even blood sugar—explaining why grabbing your phone before bed may sabotage your health as much as a late-night junk food binge. She shares why red light therapy is trending, how our eyes act as master regulators for every system in the body, and what you can do, simply and practically, to harness nature’s most powerful medicine.Tune in for a mind-expanding conversation about why “just getting outside” isn’t just a wellness cliché—it's quantum medicine for the modern world.5 Key TakeawaysMorning sunlight is a game changer—get outside first thing each day, let natural light hit your eyes, and reset your body's master clock for optimal health.Protect your nights like your nutrition—ditch overhead LEDs, install circadian-friendly bulbs, and put on orange blue-blocker glasses after sunset to keep your hormones and sleep on track.Every moment of light matters—skip artificial blue light at night, including phones and screens, to prevent unwanted cortisol spikes and blood sugar surges.Don’t underestimate your environment—just stepping outside, especially in green spaces, floods your system with healing infrared light and supports cellular hydration.The eyes are a window to your whole body—notice eye symptoms, educate yourself, and make light exposure a non-negotiable foundation of true wellness.Memorable Quotes"I just want to share that because I think it's one of the most important things that changed my life. The education piece of adding this extra layer of how light controls the entire body through our eyes, especially, is really important.""When we're exposed to blue light out in the sun, we're getting a full spectrum signal—red and infrared, which are anti-inflammatory, balance the effects of blue light. Everything has a rhythm, and we need the sunlight to tell us what to do and when to do it. At night, it's all artificial; it's not our biology to release all these hormones at night.""Our light is a nutrient, and we need to really think about what kind of light we're exposed to throughout the day.

The key, Roderick Lambert explains, isn’t calorie counting or punishing gym routines, but restoring health at the cellular level: supporting mitochondria through light, water, magnetism, and honoring our ancient circadian rhythms.In today’s episode, Roderick reveals how accelerated aging is the hidden epidemic behind stubborn weight gain, poor sleep, and brain fog in midlife, and shares the practical protocol he uses to help clients reclaim energy and cognitive clarity—often more quickly than they expect. He recounts his own transformation, the science of biophoton emissions, and what measuring the actual light coming off his own body taught him about aging and resilience. He also offers simple, actionable adjustments for anyone stuck in a modern, screen-filled lifestyle who wants to optimize their health even without drastic life changes.Tune in to learn why our bodies are wired to respond to sunlight, local food, and daily movement—and why understanding your mitochondria could be the most powerful shift you ever make for lifelong vitality.5 Key TakeawaysLight is everything—start every day outdoors. Morning sunlight sets your brain and metabolism for real resilience and energy.Rethink food—ditch factory-made, embrace local and seasonal. Prioritize protein, eat mindfully, and let natural satiety guide your portions.Own your sleep—stay consistent with bedtime and wake up routines. Make your bedroom pitch black and track how quality sleep transforms your mood, body, and focus.Protect your circadian rhythm—limit screens at night and use blue blockers. Swap out harsh indoor lights for full spectrum bulbs whenever you can.Progress is personal—focus on building systems, not chasing perfection. Every small shift—from a walk outside to a better meal—can reset your trajectory for lifelong health.Memorable Quotes"When you look at what brings health, it all goes down to light, water, magnetism, the mitochondria. You have to hack the modern environment because it's pretty detrimental in the way we've set it up in a standard way of life.""It's logical—we were wandering around outdoors all year round. The only water we had to drink was in the natural sources of springs and rivers, and the food we had was what grew locally and seasonally. That's how our physiology has adapted itself to work.""As we age, our cells start to get less functional, producing more light. More and more of the mitochondria in our cells are starting to function less efficiently, and when they do, it creates a chain reaction of oxidative stress. This is why we start to see things like cognitive decline and chronic disease at younger ages—the rate that humans are aging is accelerating."Connect with RoderickWebsite - https://mmh.midlifemetabolichealth.com/links-pageLinkedIn - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodericklambert/" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
