136: Scott Zimmerman - The Hidden Power of Sunlight: How Infrared Light Fuels Your Biology

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube"There are dozens of ways to quantify sunlight. And it matters how we present the data because it can mislead, hide, or enlighten," says Scott Zimmerman, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to reveal how our understanding of light's impact on health is fundamentally flawed. Zimmerman explains that by reframing how we measure sunlight—focusing on photons per second per area per energy unit—we can better grasp its crucial role in metabolic health.Zimmerman unveils groundbreaking insights into the body's quantum-level interactions with light, particularly in the infrared spectrum. He discusses how this knowledge could revolutionize our approach to lighting, potentially addressing the surge in metabolic diseases. Zimmerman also shares startling findings on how artificial lighting affects our biology, including impacts on color perception and hormone regulation.Tune in to today's episode to learn why your office lighting might be sabotaging your health, how sunlight acts as a "battery" for your body, and why the shade might be more beneficial than you think. Discover the hidden quantum world influencing your health with every photon.5 Key Takeaways1. Get regular exposure to full-spectrum sunlight, especially during daytime hours. This provides the broadband light our biology needs for optimal functioning.2. When indoors, use lighting that mimics natural sunlight's spectrum, including infrared wavelengths. Consider replacing LED bulbs with full-spectrum alternatives.3. Limit exposure to narrow-spectrum artificial light, particularly at night. This includes reducing screen time before bed and blocking out streetlights in sleeping areas.4. Spend time outdoors in natural shade when possible. Shade provides beneficial infrared light without excessive UV exposure.5. For children, prioritize outdoor time and full-spectrum lighting even more, as their developing bodies are especially sensitive to light exposure.Memorable Quotes1. "We need to reframe the way we think about light from just something we need to see to an essential life source, food source for our body, just in a different form."2. "There is a huge difference, even the 850nm helped a little bit on some of the color contrast, but it was really the incandescent that saw the big change. I would argue if he could actually do a controlled experiment with sunlight, you would see improvement even further."3. "We're now moving from 'go do something and a day or two later, test it' to a timescale of minutes. Once you start doing that, you see all these different processes responding. The body can't wait four hours to respond to a major event or even a small event like a burn."Connect with ScottWebsite - Niralighting.comLinkedIn post mentioned: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/scott-zimmerman-29b7b59_hopefully-we-can-move-on-now-activity-7338924880366592001-axmIResources MentionedSweat Sensor: https://www.cortiwearable.com/Nira Lighting: https://niralighting.myshopify.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 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co

135: Sarah Kleiner - Consistency Over Perfection: How to Build a Healthier Life with Sunlight

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTubeDiscover the transformative power of sunlight on your health with Sarah Kleiner, a leading expert in circadian rhythms and quantum biology. In this eye-opening episode, Sarah reveals how proper light exposure can boost metabolism, regulate hormones, and enhance overall well-being. Learn why indoor living may be sabotaging your health goals and how to harness the sun's energy for optimal vitality. From debunking common sun myths to exploring the science behind UV light benefits, this conversation offers practical tips for integrating sunlight into your daily routine. Whether you're battling weight issues, struggling with energy levels, or simply seeking natural ways to improve your health, Sarah's insights will revolutionize your approach to wellness. Don't miss this illuminating discussion on the often-overlooked connection between light and health!5 Key Takeaways1. Get morning sunlight exposure consistently, ideally within an hour of waking. This helps regulate your circadian rhythm and metabolism.2. Aim for 20 minutes of outdoor light during the UVA window after sunrise to support appetite regulation and fat burning.3. Use a wide-brimmed hat and protective eyewear when exposed to intense glare from water, snow, or sand to prevent retinal damage.4. Download the My Circadian app to track optimal sun exposure times and measure light levels throughout the day.5. Dim lights and use blue-blocking glasses 3 hours before bed, aiming for under 10 lux in your evening environment to support melatonin production.Memorable Quotes"Light really gives the body instructions to do everything we need it to do. We want the right type of light at the right times, and then enough darkness at the right times.""If your days are too dim and your nights are too bright, that alone slows down the metabolism. You can go on a very restrictive diet, eat clean, try to do all the things, yet live the way that everyone lives, and still struggle.""I'm not interested in having conversations where I tell people exactly what to do. I want to have thoughtful dialogue and connect with people. The worst teachers think the healing was all because of them. The best teachers remind you that the healing was yours all along."Connect with SarahWebsite - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.comCourses - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/courses (code PODCAST for 10% off any course!)Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahkleinerwellnessPodcast - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/podcastYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd1xxofTziySu0F9oG7G67gFree ebooks: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesResources MentionedMy Circadian App - https://mycircadianapp.com/Ra Optics Blue Sync (sunglasses) - https://raoptics.com/pages/bluesyncQBC 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 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co

134: Jay & Jaydee Azavari - Living in Rhythm: Family Sovereignty & The Cycles of Nature

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube"No matter how much we did with Ada, it was maximum we could reach maybe 50 to 70 kids. And that would be us working ourselves to the bone," says Jay Azavari, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast with his partner Jaydee to discuss their journey from running a nature-based school to launching a podcast that aims to empower individuals to question societal norms and make sovereign choices.The Azavaris share their experiences in homeschooling, unschooling, and creating an outdoor education program during the pandemic. They explain how quantum biology principles have shaped their approach to health, education, and parenting. Jay discusses the profound connection between music, vibration, and quantum physics, while Jaydee reveals how her background in midwifery influenced their educational philosophy.Tune in to today's episode to learn why the Azavaris believe in fostering children's innate wisdom, how they integrate quantum biological concepts into daily life, and what inspired them to create their new podcast, Rising Sovereign. Discover how this couple is challenging conventional paradigms and encouraging others to explore alternative paths in health, education, and personal growth.5 Key Takeaways1. Align with natural light cycles to improve sleep and overall wellbeing. Try eating breakfast outside, using red light glasses in the evening, and turning off lights when the sun goes down.2. Question assumptions about what you can and can't do, especially regarding health and education. Consider learning basic medical skills or exploring alternative schooling options.3. Incorporate nature immersion and outdoor time into children's education and daily life. This can build resilience and connection to natural rhythms.4. Explore music and sound as a way to understand vibrational principles in the body and universe. Use this to tap into your innate wisdom and creativity.5. Make choices aligned with your values, even if they go against societal norms. Focus on what feels right for you and your family rather than external expectations.Memorable Quotes"We've always been the type of person looking for more, continuing to see what's behind the curtain. There are other aspects to the story that aren't revealed front and center. This has shaped an incredible, unique journey throughout our lives." - Jaydee Azavari"Quantum biology provides a framework to ground a lot of these concepts. There's been a large mystical component to my worldview shaped by music, vibration, spirituality, shamanic explorations, and altered states of consciousness. It links back to ancient wisdom but articulates it in a new language." - Jay Azavari"We want to promote the idea that it's okay to make different choices. What's really under that? What are you looking to achieve and why are you making your choices? How are they aligned with you or not? No one can know more about a woman's birth than her. Applying that to other areas - I can't really grasp the totality of someone else's family dynamics. I can share my perspective and be witness to them, hopefully in a non-judgmental way." - Jaydee AzavariConnect with Jay & JaydeeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rising_sovereign_podcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaydee_azavari/Rising Sovereign Podcast: https://risingsovereignpodcast.substack.com/publish/subscribersPodcast Interest Form: https://jay-azavari.mykajabi.com/podcast-interest-formwww.jaydeeazavari.orgAppalachian Academy of Therapeutic Arts: www.appalachian-academy.orgwww.shopecreekwilderness.orgResources MentionedThe Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism by Fritjof Capra - https://amzn.to/4jYVQV78 Shields - https://8shields.org/Spirit Whirled by Dylan Saccoccio - https://amzn.to/3HHzPgdWaldorf - https://www.waldorfeducation.org/what-is-waldorf-education/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 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co

133: Terra Martin - Stop the Trauma Loop: Hypnosis, Sunlight & Subconscious Healing

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube"The body voice becomes stronger than the voice of the trauma," says Terra Martin, hypnotherapist and newly certified Applied Quantum Biology practitioner, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to reveal how her musical background informs her unique approach to healing trauma. Martin explains how she "hears" emotions in her clients' voices, likening it to discerning musical notes, and how this skill allows her to quickly identify underlying issues.In this fascinating discussion, Martin shares insights on the intersection of hypnosis, psychology, and quantum biology. She describes how trauma becomes trapped in the body, replaying on a cellular level, and how practices like circadian rhythm optimization and grounding can help release it. Martin also recounts remarkable case studies, including a client whose neck tumor disappeared after addressing emotional issues.Tune in to today's episode to learn more about Martin's innovative techniques for trauma resolution, the power of the body's innate wisdom, and how quantum biology principles are revolutionizing her practice.5 Key Takeaways1. Practice listening to the intonation and cadence in people's voices, not just their words. This can reveal hidden emotions and provide deeper insights into what someone is really feeling or experiencing.2. When triggered emotionally, try counting backwards from 10 while slowing your breathing. This helps regulate your energy and prevents absorbing others' intense emotions.3. Use hypnosis or similar techniques to open the "doorway" between your conscious and subconscious mind. This allows processing of stored traumas without reliving the pain.4. Incorporate circadian rhythm optimization practices like morning sunlight exposure, blue light blocking, and grounding. This helps anchor trauma healing in the physical body.5. Focus on educating yourself about your own stress patterns and responses. Approach personal growth as a process of self-discovery rather than fixing something "wrong."Memorable Quotes"Hypnosis allows the body to do what it needs to do, but it won't always be logical. As a therapist, you've got to hang on and go for a ride. It's not my direction that guides it, it's the body's direction. The body knows the bottom line.""When you clear trauma out, which is what quantum seems to do, everything I've done comes into greater play. Physically, clients get clearer on their cells because the sunlight helps so much.""There hasn't been one client I've given this information to that hasn't benefited to some degree. To me, it's sold. It's the way to go. Plus, it's away from the medical, which we could talk for hours on."Connect with TerraQuantum Biology Collective: https://quantum-biology-collective.mn.co/members/30613258Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/note2terra/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 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co

132: Melissa Sonners - Microdosing Connection: Simple Steps To Entrain Your Brain On A Daily Basis

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube"Play is the portal to our calling," says Dr. Melissa Sonners, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to reveal how reconnecting with our inner child can unlock our true potential and transform our lives. As a chiropractor, alignment guide, and nervous system specialist, Dr. Sonners shares her journey from burnout to breakthrough, offering a refreshing perspective on self-care that doesn't involve adding more to our already overflowing plates.In this eye-opening discussion, Dr. Sonners explains why traditional self-care routines often fail us and introduces a revolutionary approach to wellness that focuses on microdosing connection throughout the day. She unveils the power of simple practices like daydreaming and reading, which can shift our brains into regenerative theta waves, providing much-needed respite from our high-speed, beta-wave-dominated lives.Tune in to today's episode to discover how you can harness the Connection Code to reclaim your inner wisdom, navigate life's challenges with grace, and cultivate a state of flow that allows you to accomplish more while feeling less stressed and more fulfilled.5 Key Takeaways1. Start with one small step: Choose a single, manageable practice to incorporate into your daily routine, like spending two minutes in a "sit spot" each morning without looking at your phone. Consistency with one small change can lead to significant improvements over time.2. Create a "bridge" to calmness: Use tools like reading a book, listening to binaural beats, or staring at nature to help transition your brain into a more relaxed state, especially when feeling overwhelmed or scattered.3. Microdose connection throughout your day: Look for brief moments to reconnect with yourself, even if it's just for 30 seconds between tasks. This could be as simple as taking a few deep breaths or briefly gazing out a window.4. Reframe self-care as internal connection: Instead of viewing self-care as another item on your to-do list, focus on quick ways to check in with yourself and honor what you truly need in the moment.5. Incorporate playfulness: Find ways to bring joy and fun into your daily activities, whether it's singing in the car with your kids or revisiting a childhood hobby. Play can be a powerful tool for stress relief and reconnecting with your authentic self.Memorable Quotes"Self care isn't this escape out of us. It doesn't have to be this one hour routine or ritual. Self care is connection. And when we can connect back into like an internal anchor, when instead of escaping from ourselves, we can escape home to ourselves in the most chaotic moments, it changes everything.""All these tools that we're all out here talking about, whether it's red light instead of blue light, or grounding in nature or watching the sun, all of these tools do is get you back to your natural state. You are the medicine. It's you. It's not these tools. They are your crutch when you have forgotten.""Play is the portal to our calling. When we get back to play, our life figures itself out in this beautiful way because we're getting back to us and we are here as human beings. And when we can get back to our beingness, not only will all the do's get taken care of, but you have no idea what you're capable of."Connect with MelissaWebsite: www.DrMelissaSonners.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorsSonners/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beinspiredmama/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beinspiredmamaPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/be-inspired-mama/id1653665697YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beinspiredmamaResources MentionedFast Like a Girl: A Woman's Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones by Dr. Mindy Pelz (Author) - https://amzn.to/3ZOXbXhJoe Dispenza: https://drjoedispenza.com/Brain Tap (mentioned as a relaxation tool): https://braintap.com/Hay House (publisher of Melissa's upcoming book): https://www.hayhouse.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 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.co
