1KHO 426: The Relationship Between Light and Chronic Illness | Meredith Oke, Quantum Biology Collective

Could something as simple as light exposure be a missing link in chronic illness? In this eye-opening episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Meredith Oke, co-founder of the Quantum Biology Collective, to explore how light impacts every system in the body. Meredith shares her personal journey of battling chronic fatigue and explains why artificial light, screen exposure, and disrupted circadian rhythms may be silently contributing to anxiety, depression, digestive issues, and even autoimmune conditions.

With research pointing to light as a key regulator of health—from mitochondria function to hormone balance—this conversation sheds light (literally!) on practical ways to improve well-being. Meredith offers simple, science-backed strategies to optimize your family's exposure to natural light and protect against the harmful effects of modern lighting. If you or your loved ones are struggling with fatigue or other unexplained health issues, this episode may hold the answers you've been looking for.
