Episode notes
From Athlete To Quantum Biology Breakthrough
- Carrie Bennett described her long health journey from college athlete to debilitating fatigue and gut issues before discovering quantum biology.
- She says applying light-based strategies restored her health within three days and transformed clients similarly.
Eyes Drive The Body Clock
- Circadian rhythm is a 24-hour body clock that coordinates thousands of cellular tasks via a brain clock called the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
- Eyes sense blue light fluctuations and send oscillating signals that time hormone and gene expression across the body.
Morning Light Fuels Hormone Production
- Morning light signaling kickstarts the hypothalamic‑pituitary axes and mitochondrial production of pregnenolone.
- Pregnenolone becomes cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, so missing morning light dysregulates many hormones.
