The Doug Sandquist Podcast Quantum Biology and Dentistry with Dr Jack Kruse Part 2
Aug 24, 2025
Dr. Jack Kruse, a neurosurgeon and proponent of quantum biology, delves into the interplay between mitochondria and dental health. He explains how the Great Oxygenation Event gave complexity to life. The discussion includes how sunlight affects sleep apnea and myelination, and how mitochondrial health is crucial for overall wellness. Jack critiques traditional orthodontics, advocating for preventive care and practical interventions like sunlight exposure. He also emphasizes the importance of assessing jaw growth causes in children rather than defaulting to surgery.

Episode notes
Myelin, Sleep And Mitochondria
- Myelin production is tightly linked to sleep and controlled by mitochondrial function influenced by AM sunlight exposure.
- Jack Kruse argues MRI white and gray matter volumes reveal demyelination tied to sleep disorders and cognitive decline.
Use MRI And Sunlight History To Assess Apnea
- Check patients' MRI for deuterium shadows and white/gray matter volume to localize mitochondrial damage in sleep apnea.
- Ask about AM sunlight exposure because lack of sunrise light impairs TCA, urea cycle, and myelination.
Oxygen Depends On Mitochondrial Context
- Oxygen enabled complexity but became toxic when mitochondria are damaged, per the Great Oxygenation Event framing.
- Treatments that add oxygen to damaged mitochondria can worsen outcomes, Jack warns.
