Grounding, Bioelectricity, and Electron Flow

We all know that essential inputs like diet and movement can make a huge difference in how you feel on a day-to-day basis. But have you ever thought about how light can impact your health? Today, you’re going to learn the fascinating science of different light spectrums—including the ones present in sunlight and artificial light—and how they can improve or degrade your health. 

On this episode of The Model Health Show, you’re going to learn about light and circadian biology from Princeton-trained PhD, Dr. Alexis Cowan. Dr. Cowan is passionate about helping folks harness the powerful science of light, biophysics, and mitochondrial biology to optimize their health and performance. 

You’re going to learn about why sunlight is essential for human health, what non-native EMFs are and how they impact your biology, and the relationship between light and mitochondria. This episode is packed with mind-blowing science that you can use to uplevel your health immediately. I hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Alexis Cowan!
