36. Jalal Khan: Circadian Biology, Mitochondria, POMC and Why You Need Sunlight for Optimal Health

44 snips

Sep 3, 2023

Dr. Jalal Khan, quantum health clinician and practicing dentist, discusses circadian biology, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the role of POMC and melanin in optimal health. Topics include the centrality of circadian biology, the effect of unseasonal eating on mitochondria, the reduction of deuterium with animal-based diets, the role of UV light for our biology, and the incredible functions of melanin in biology.

Dr Jalal Khan is one of Australia’s leading quantum health clinicians as well as a practicing dentist. In this fascinating conversation we cover Jalal’s thoughts on the centrality of circadian biology to health, why diet-only health paradigms lack the complete picture, role of mitochondrial dysfunction and disease, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), melanin and much more.
