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

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.

Quick takeaways

Circadian biology is central to health and should be corrected for optimal well-being.

Food carries information based on light environment and maintaining alignment with seasons and locality optimizes mitochondrial function.

Understanding POMC and its response to light is crucial for optimizing health and longevity as it coordinates various bodily processes.

Deep dives

The Concept of Quantum Health and Circadian Biology

Quantum health is a model of healthcare that recognizes the energetic nature of our bodies and the role of light in influencing our health. It emphasizes that our bodies operate on scales of energy and information flow, and understanding this can change the way we approach healing. Circadian biology, which is closely tied to quantum health, explores how light regulates the various cycles and pathways within our body. The importance of correcting circadian rhythms is highlighted as the foundation for any health or healing journey.

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.
