"We are liquid crystal, the fourth phase of water, and that water acts as a conduit for communication," says Sarah Turner, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to explain how light therapy and structured water could revolutionize our approach to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's. A former pharmaceutical researcher turned neuroscientist and biohacker, Sarah shares her journey from traditional drug development to exploring the frontiers of quantum biology and photobiomodulation.

In this eye-opening discussion, Sarah reveals how her work on asthma inhalers led her to discover the profound impact of grounding on drug efficacy, challenging the conventional pharmaceutical paradigm. She explains why we should view the body as an electrical system and how light therapy can "charge the battery" of our brains. Sarah also delves into the intricate relationship between light, water, and cellular health, offering insights into why simply drinking more water isn't enough for true hydration.

Tune in to today's episode to learn why Sarah believes that optimizing our light environment could be the key to preventing and managing neurodegenerative diseases, and why she advocates for a holistic approach to health that includes "good water, good light, and good friends."

5 Key Takeaways

1. Optimize your light environment to support brain health. Get regular exposure to natural sunlight, especially morning and evening red light. Consider using a red light therapy device that contours to the head for targeted brain benefits.

2. Focus on gut health to improve brain function. The gut-brain connection is crucial, so prioritize a healthy diet, manage stress, and consider red light therapy on the abdomen to support the gut microbiome.

3. Stay well-hydrated, but understand that hydration goes beyond just drinking water. Proper light exposure helps structure the water in your cells for optimal function. Combine good hydration with light therapy for best results.

4. Take a holistic approach to health. Optimize your light exposure, nutrition, sleep, relationships, and overall environment rather than relying solely on supplements or interventions for specific conditions.

5. If dealing with neurological issues like Parkinson's, consider red light therapy with 40 Hz pulsing for 10 minutes daily. Track your progress using symptom questionnaires and wearable device data to assess improvements over time.

Memorable Quotes

"We respond in a myriad of ways to the different wavelengths of light from the sun. And so red light therapy is taking a portion of the sun's wavelengths of light, and it's the portion that's usually found at sunrise and sunset because of the angle of the sun at the sky at that point."

"From my point of view, I'm interested in structured water. Water absorbs above 900 nanometers, so that's relatively a longer wavelength of light than most devices. Most devices don't want the light to be absorbed by the water. They want it on the mitochondria. But for my device, I wanted to have these longer wavelengths too, because I want to target water."

"We just need to really understand the importance of light in biology and also in our science because it is something that I feel like has been so far removed from it. But as soon as you start to gain that concept and even do little simple experiments, be outdoors, kind of be your N equals one, I think it becomes more real and tangible."
