As a board-certified dermatologist with an osteopathic background, Dr. Jeffries brings a unique perspective to skin health, viewing it as a window into our internal well-being and a reflection of our body's complex cycles.In this enlightening discussion, Dr. Jeffries introduces her groundbreaking "Skin Clock Method," a holistic approach that aligns skin care with natural cycles and circadian rhythms. She delves into the concept of "leaky skin," drawing parallels with leaky gut syndrome, and explains how our skin's health is intricately linked to our internal environment, stress levels, and even our identity.Dr. Jeffries challenges the traditional dermatological stance on sun exposure, advocating for a nuanced approach that considers the benefits of sunrise and sunset light exposure while still emphasizing the importance of skin cancer prevention. She also explores the fascinating world of quantum biology, discussing how our skin interacts with the environment at a quantum level and how this understanding can revolutionize our approach to skin health.Tune in to today's episode to discover how aligning with your body's natural rhythms can transform your skin health, and learn why Dr. Jeffries believes that embracing the mystery of our bodies is key to true healing and personal growth.5 Key Takeaways1. Embrace a holistic approach to skin health by considering factors like diet, stress, sleep, and environmental toxins alongside traditional dermatological treatments.2. Prioritize exposure to natural light cycles, especially at sunrise and sunset, to support skin health and overall wellbeing.3. Be cautious with sun exposure during peak UV hours, but don't completely avoid the sun. Consider your individual skin type, location, and overall health when determining appropriate sun exposure.4. Get regular skin checks from a board-certified dermatologist to catch any potential skin cancers early, even if you follow a natural lifestyle.5. Explore the concept of aligning your daily routines and skincare practices with your body's natural cycles and rhythms to optimize skin health and overall wellness.Memorable Quotes"There's truths on all these sides. It's having that understanding. But what if when the UV index is really low at sunrise and we're able to get some of the far infrared light into our eyes and our body and there's not any UV risk there, why aren't we suggesting people go outside at sunrise and then what about sunset too?""We're here for the experience. We're not here very long. We're here to learn, we're here to grow, we're here to expand, we're here to connect. Like we're on a journey. It's like we are creating a movie here. We're a creator.""Coming back to just our natural cycles and the natural things and the cycles of the day, working with optimizing your circadian health, optimizing your sleep, optimizing your skin care, figuring out that there are different cycles that happen with our gut throughout the day, that there's different cycles that happen with our skin throughout the day, there's different cycles that happen with our hormones every month."Connect with Dr. MichelleWebsite: https://drmichellejeffries.com/Skin Clock Method: https://skinclockmethod.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmichellejeffries/Instagram: โโhttps://www.instagram.com/drjeffries/QBC ResourcesTo receive our Podcast Guide, where we break episodes down by category & to receive updates from us, subscribe to our email list here: https://qbcpod.comYou can join the FREE QBC online community here: https://qbcpod.com/freecommunityInstagram: https://instagram.com/quantumbiologycollectiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/QuantumHealthTVX/Twitter: https://x.com/IAQB_Foundation ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธPodcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co

She explains why traditional medical approaches often fall short and how understanding our body's innate timing can lead to profound improvements in sleep quality.Mollie delves into the critical importance of light exposure, meal timing, and thought patterns in optimizing our sleep cycles. She challenges common misconceptions about being a "night owl" or "short sleeper," arguing that these labels often mask underlying circadian misalignments. With insights from her work with high-stakes poker players and her own database of sleep tracker users, Mollie offers practical strategies for enhancing sleep quality and duration.Tune in to today's episode to discover why your 4 PM dinner might be the key to better sleep, how to harness the power of your thoughts for improved rest, and why a sleep study could be life-changing. Learn how to transform your nights and revolutionize your days with Mollie's science-backed approach to sleep optimization5 Key Takeaways1. Maintain a consistent wake-up time 7 days a week, paired with morning sunlight exposure. This helps regulate your circadian rhythm and sets the stage for better sleep.2. Front-load your meals earlier in the day, aiming to finish eating 2-4 hours before bedtime. This allows your body to focus on sleep processes rather than digestion at night.3. Create a clear distinction between daytime "rev state" activities and evening "downstate" activities. Align your thoughts and actions with the natural rhythms of day and night.4. If you're struggling with sleep, consider exploring cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) or acceptance and commitment therapy for insomnia (ACTi) for additional tools and strategies.5. Get tested for sleep disorders, even if you don't think you have obvious symptoms. There are over 100 sleep-wake disorders, and identifying any issues can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall health.Memorable Quotes"Sleep is a weird world in that it's this mix of setting the stage and then practicing acceptance and letting go, which can be very hard for the achiever, the Type A.""We want to examine all of those tiers and see what might be out of alignment for them. It's not to discount too, because those can all be really helpful, especially if you've got trauma in your past or things are happening. People have stuff, and I've been there.""I truly believe that it can just change the course of people's lives. And I really want to protect against people having to go down the path of sleeping pills and pharmaceuticals and understanding that there's so much more available.Connect with MollieWebsite: www.sleepisaskill.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sleepisaskill/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mollie.eastman/Resources MentionedThe Circadian Code by Dr. Satchin Panda - https://www.amazon.com/Circadian-Code-Supercharge-Transform-Midnight/dp/1635652437The Power of When by Dr. Michael Breus - https://www.amazon.com/Power-When-Discover-Chronotype-Eat/dp/0316391263Oura Ring - https://ouraring.com/Whoop - https://www.whoop.com/QBC ResourcesTo receive our Podcast Guide, where we break episodes down by category & to receive updates from us, subscribe to our email list here: https://qbcpod.comYou can join the FREE QBC online community here: https://qbcpod.com/freecommunityInstagram: https://instagram.com/quantumbiologycollectiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/QuantumHealthTVX/Twitter: https://x.com/IAQB_Foundation ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธPodcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co

Cultivate discernment when consuming media. Don't blindly trust any single source - look for the "golden thread of truth" in different perspectives.2. Take breaks from the news cycle. Limit consumption to stay informed without becoming overwhelmed. This helps maintain mental health and clarity.3. Meditate or sit in stillness regularly, even for just 5-10 minutes. This improves discernment and helps process information more clearly.4. Be open to paradigm shifts in science, health, politics and other domains. Old models are breaking down as new discoveries emerge.5. Trust your own judgment and intuition when evaluating information. Don't outsource your critical thinking to authorities or media outlets.Memorable Quotes"We are all aspects of source, if you will, and we have much greater capacity than we are led to believe. If we just listen to our inner voices and our higher selves and sit in stillness five or 10 minutes now and then and just let things sink in and don't think actively about them with your brain, but just let them sink in.""The big secret of the universe is that everything's going to be fine.""Trust your own judgment and your discernment. Don't follow the news 24/7. You can follow it a little bit if you want to know what's happening, but not too much because it's not good for your health. Check things for yourself if you have the time and think for yourself."Connect with GUESTWebsite: https://andersbolling.comSocials: linktr.ee/andersbollingFrontierNet: https://frontiernet.orgResources MentionedMind the Shift YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MindtheShiftQBC ResourcesTo receive our Podcast Guide, where we break episodes down by category & to receive updates from us, subscribe to our email list here: https://qbcpod.comYou can join the FREE QBC online community here: https://qbcpod.com/freecommunityInstagram: https://instagram.com/quantumbiologycollectiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/QuantumHealthTVX/Twitter: https://x.com/IAQB_Foundation ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธPodcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co

๐บ Watch & Subscribe on YouTube"Light is a nutrient the same as food," says Ken Ceder, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to illuminate the silent epidemic of mal-illumination and its profound impact on our health. With over 30 years of experience in developing healthy light products, Ceder explains how our modern indoor lifestyles have disconnected us from the vital benefits of natural sunlight, leading to a host of health issues.In this eye-opening episode, Ceder reveals the surprising truth about common lighting options and their potential harm to our eyes and overall well-being. He discusses the groundbreaking work of John Ott, a pioneer in photobiology, and how it led to the development of full-spectrum lighting. Ceder also introduces the concept of "nutritional light technology" and explains why near-infrared light is crucial for cellular health and countering the negative effects of blue light from screens.Tune in to discover why morning sunlight is essential for setting your circadian rhythm, how proper lighting can impact everything from mood to metabolism, and why investing in quality light might be more important for your health than your vitamin regimen. Learn about the innovative Soul Shine light products and how they aim to bring the benefits of natural sunlight indoors, potentially transforming your health and well-being.5 Key Takeaways1. Get morning sunlight daily. Spend 10-15 minutes outside in natural light first thing in the morning to set your circadian rhythm and boost metabolism. This simple habit can transform your health.2. Be mindful of artificial lighting. Most indoor lighting, especially fluorescent and LED bulbs, lacks the full spectrum of natural light and may have harmful effects. Consider using full spectrum bulbs with near-infrared light.3. Take frequent light breaks. If working indoors, step outside or by a window for 5 minutes each hour to give your eyes and body exposure to natural light. This can counteract the negative effects of artificial lighting.4. Use caution with SAD light boxes. Many lack near-infrared light, which is crucial for eye health. Research products carefully and look for options that include near-infrared wavelengths.5. View light as nutrition. Just as you're mindful of food quality, pay attention to your "light diet." Quality light is essential for properly metabolizing nutrients and vitamins from food.Memorable Quotes"Light regulates everything. Your time clock is set by that light regulating your circadian rhythms. You have basically little time clocks in almost every cell of your body. If you're out of rhythm, you can relate to what jet lag is. Well, most people are wandering around unwittingly on some form of jet lag and don't have a clue. It's because they're out of rhythm with nature.""If you were standing naked in the noon day sun, 98% of the sunlight's energy enters through your eye, goes directly to your brain, and regulates everything from circadian rhythm to mood to sleep to appetite. Just 2% enters your body through your skin, the largest organ of your body.""Metabolism is 100% dependent on light. Light in the morning ignites your metabolism. It's free, it's right there in front of your face. It comes up every single morning from the beginningless beginning. That sunshine shows up even on a cloudy day, it's worth getting outdoors."Connect with KenLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-ceder-03866b10/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solshinephotonutrition/Resources Mentionedhttps://solshine.org/ (use code โQBCโ)Health and Light: The extraordinary Study that Shows How light Affects Your Health and emotional well being. by John N.
