The Quantum Biology Collective Podcast

“I'm targeting the blood, I'm targeting the mitochondria, I'm also targeting the water. And by using four distinct wavelengths, you are maximizing your chance of hitting a chromophore that's going to have a therapeutic effect,” explains Sarah Turner, a neuroscientist turned biohacker and host of the Rebel Scientist podcast. Sarah’s experience working in pharmaceuticals led her to begin exploring quantum biology, specifically photobiomodulation or red light therapy. Her background in neurology informed her desire to research how light may be able to impact the brain, particularly in people with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. In this episode, Sarah speaks with host Meredith Oke about her company CeraThrive and their new photobiomodulation device for healing along the gut-brain axis.  There is a common misconception that it is entirely dark within the skull, but light does penetrate into the brain. While it is a small amount of light that makes it through, it is still enough to provide significant therapeutic effects. Photobiomodulation takes advantage of the body’s many natural light receptors, using four distinct wavelengths to target the blood, mitochondria, and structured water. When people are exposed to the correct light frequencies at the right times of day, this light aids the body with its repair processes. With CeraThrive’s red light therapy system composed of both the device and a convenient app, people can regain control over their own health and healing without the need for pharmaceuticals. Whether you are suffering from a neurodegenerative disease like Parkinson’s or simply want to improve your overall health while also reducing chronic pain, red light therapy devices like CeraThrive can help. When combined with circadian lifestyle changes like grounding and seeing the sunrise and sunset, photobiomodulation promotes optimal brain functioning and full body healing.  Quotes “It's a small amount of light that actually penetrates through and gets onto the surface of the brain. However, it is enough to have a therapeutic effect.” (26:15 | Sarah) “I'm targeting the blood, I'm targeting the mitochondria, I'm also targeting the water. And by using four distinct wavelengths, you are maximizing your chance of hitting a chromophore that's going to have a therapeutic effect.” (28:29 | Sarah) “We've evolved under natural light. We're meant to be exposed to certain light frequencies at certain times of the day… It's actually a very natural thing.” (34:41 | Sarah) “We really are just animals that have taken ourselves out of our environment. The more we can kind of put ourselves back there in that natural environment, potentially, the more benefit we can get from it.” (37:02 | Sarah)    Links Connect with Sarah Turner: Website: cerathrive.com   Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebelscientist/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/75603411/admin/ https://www.instagram.com/cerathrive/ https://www.facebook.com/CERASystem https://www.instagram.com/rebelscientistpod/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/90730389/admin/ https://www.youtube.com/@Rebel-Scientist   To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“You have to change your lifestyle. Otherwise, nothing else is going to change,” explains Robert Jacobs, strength and conditioning coach and competitive strongman. As a coach and competitor, Robert has firsthand experience on the benefits of proper strength training and conditioning. Even non-athletes can benefit tremendously from basic strength training for increased muscle mass and longevity. As a big proponent of the incredible power of small changes for influencing bigger long term change, Robert prefers lifestyle changes over short term, band aid type solutions like supplements. In this episode, Robert speaks with host Meredith Oke about the benefits of circadian timed eating and exercising for overall health and wellness. Small changes like getting up and seeing the sunrise each morning can lead to huge improvements in health. The busy way modern people live is often completely out of rhythm with the natural way the human body was designed to work. People worry so much about what they are eating, that they do not realize ‘what’ is only part of the picture. In many cases, when you eat actually plays a larger role on your body than what you eat. Your body is meant to follow a diurnal rhythm. When you eat dinner after dark or snack on carbs late at night, you are confusing your body’s signals and reducing your ability to rest and recover during sleep. When you align your eating habits and exercise times with the natural circadian rhythm, you will gain muscle mass, lose weight, sleep better, and perform better throughout the day.  Everyone knows that eating right and exercising are essential for a healthy lifestyle. What people may not realize is that the timing of when you eat and exercise may actually play a larger role in your overall health and fitness than what you are eating or the types of exercise you are doing. If you are looking to improve your health, start with small changes. Even the littlest change in your habits can have big results. Quotes “You have to change your lifestyle. Otherwise, nothing else is going to change.” (31:33 | Robert)  “The majority of your carbohydrates should be in the afternoon because that is instant energy.” (34:49 | Robert) “A metabolically normal individual is essentially pre-diabetic after sunset.” (36:29 | Robert) “As you move through non REM and REM sleep, you are paralyzed. You're not supposed to be processing food.” (41:22 | Robert) “When you eat matters as much if not more than what you eat.” (48:12 | Robert)  “Intense difficult exercise on an empty stomach is worse for you than it is better in the long run.” (1:14:37 | Robert)   Links Connect with Robert Jacobs: Instagram: @robertcjacobs Website: www.outlawstrength.com     To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“Getting your feet on the bare earth and watching the morning sunrise is the cheapest health intervention in maybe the history of the world,” explains Dr. Max Gulhane, MD. As a family physician and host of the Regenerative Health Podcast, Dr. Gulhane is teaching people all over the world about the importance of a healthy circadian rhythm. His own experiences with trying to heal from terrible acne in his 20s led Dr. Gulhane to recognize the critical blind spots of traditional Western medicine. The strong pharmaceuticals he was prescribed left him with undesirable psychological side effects and the widely recommended plant-based diet only made his condition worse. When he discovered the low carb lifestyle and carnivore diet, his health improved dramatically, but there was one component still missing - light. In this episode, Dr. Gulhane explains how natural health interventions like regulating circadian rhythm are the key to regenerative health. Without a biologically attuned light environment, your body does not have the opportunity to regenerate its health. This is because without the cues from the absence or presence of sunlight, the brain is unable to send the correct signals to your body that let it know when it is time to wake up, sleep, and eat. Nowadays, people typically live in homes overrun by artificial light sources and EMF waves from WiFi. These conditions are not biologically appropriate for health as the human body has evolved over thousands of years to work in alignment with the sun. When you surround yourself with artificial light and miss out on watching the sunrise and sunset, your body misses critical cues which leads to circadian dysfunction like the inability to create enough melatonin. Without melatonin, you may suffer from insomnia, making it more difficult for your body to recover. Sleep provides a much needed opportunity for health regeneration. When sleep is interrupted by a toxic light environment, people begin to experience more serious health issues. If you are looking to heal your body holistically and have only focused on diet, start looking at your light environment and lifestyle to see where you can make circadian improvements. Quotes “Food diet, light diet. Optimal health lies somewhere in the middle.” (14:40-14:45 | Dr. Gulhane) “Just like there is junk food, there's also junk light.” (17:01-17:04 | Dr. Gulhane)  “Morning light is critical, because it's essentially setting you up not only to start the day, but it's also setting you up for that night's sleep later in the day.” (30:17-30:29 | Dr. Gulhane) “Getting your feet on the bare earth and watching the morning sunrise is the cheapest health intervention in maybe the history of the world.” (42:14-42:24 | Dr. Gulhane)   Links Connect with Dr. Max Gulhane: Event in Albury on August 6th https://regeneratealbury.iwannaticket.com.au/event/regenerate-albury-2023-MjkyMzI Regenerative Health Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/regenerative-health-with-max-gulhane-md/id1661751206   To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“I worked with all of these different things for about a year and a half. And when I had another blood test, those autoimmune antibodies were gone,” shares Rachel Tudor, True Nature Movement Specialist. Rachel is a former ballet dancer turned quantum practitioner and internationally recognized presenter on bio tensegrity and fascia. In 2021, her health went completely haywire due to an adverse reaction to a heavily recommended pharmaceutical injection. Discovering the circadian lifestyle and understanding the gradual healing process of the body ultimately gave Rachel the quantum health strategies necessary to heal from her body’s debilitating autoimmune reaction. In this episode, Rachel explains how she paired holistic movement with quantum biology to recover her health. When Rachel’s autoimmune nightmare began, she was experiencing a multitude of symptoms including severe and immobilizing vertigo, neurological changes that mimicked a TBI, histamine reactivity, chronic pain, and extreme fatigue. She tried nearly every suggestion to heal herself, from supplements to medications, but she continued to get worse and worse. Everything started to change when Rachel discovered quantum health and began following a circadian lifestyle. Since she was fully immobile, her husband carried her outside daily for UVA and UVB exposure, where she engaged in healing frequencies through wiggling her fingers and humming. After months of doing this, she became strong enough to return to Jin Shin Jyutsu, an energy healing art that ended up dramatically improving her vertigo. She understood that repatterning the fascia in her body would take time and consistency. Sticking to the circadian lifestyle and combining it with holistic movement ultimately paid off, healing her body’s autoimmune reaction and drastically improving her quality of life. It takes time to change your body’s habits and the patterning of your fascia. By leveraging your external environment and aligning your lifestyle to your natural biology, you can help move the repatterning process along. Even though Rachel’s autoimmune reaction was largely a mystery to doctors and there was very little information available on how to treat it, she did not give up. Instead, she fully committed to living a circadian lifestyle and applied quantum health modalities to the healing power of movement, stunning her doctors with a complete reversal of her autoimmune dysfunction.  Quotes “You're just one whole integrated being, and that's all you've ever been.” (6:33-6:37 | Rachel)  “It’s not like, go outside and do this for a week and bam, you’ll be better…slowly but surely, like I was saying, things started to improve.” (39:54-40:29 | Rachel)  “The efficacy of those kinds of modalities is increased if you're also living a circadian life.” (41:06-41:15 | Rachel) “You can be looking at six months to two years to really bring on long lasting change in terms of the structure of your fascia.” (44:46-44:58 | Rachel) “I worked with all of these different things for about a year and a half. And when I had another blood test, those autoimmune antibodies were gone.” (55:13-55:25 | Rachel)   Links Connect with Rachel Tudor: Website: https://www.truenaturemvmt.com/ Instagram: @r_tudor     To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“We are batteries made out of water charged by sunlight,” explains Quantum Health Clinician and Educator, Laura Kissmann. Without exposure to natural light, the circadian rhythm that controls all the biological processes in the body will become misaligned. Although Laura now spends her time performing energy healing through quantum health practices such as red light therapy and access bars, she did not start out this way. Laura spent decades serving in the Canadian military as well as four years in an underground bunker surrounded by EMF while working for NORAD. In this episode, Laura shares her career and health history for a side by side analysis of what her environmental conditions were at the time each of her symptoms developed.  Environmental conditions that are out of alignment with the body’s biological needs are at the root of all disease. Although it would be decades before Laura understood the connection between her environment and her numerous physical symptoms, she began to put the pieces together much earlier that something about her lifestyle was negatively impacting her health. When Laura began her military career, she was a young, healthy athlete. Then came decades of being forced to wear shoes that caused her to develop plantar fasciitis, followed by spending twelve hours per day in an underground bunker under fluorescent lighting, surrounded by EMF signals. After the birth of her first child, Laura was sicker than ever, experiencing symptoms that turned out to be hyperthyroidism, leaky gut, intestinal parasites, and chemical sensitivity.  Looking back through Laura’s health history alongside her environmental conditions gives valuable insight into how circadian dysfunction caused her health to decline. When you take the time to analyze your physical and mental health symptoms through the lens of quantum biology, the immense impact of your environment on your health will become more and more clear. Be your own quantum health detective and see where your own environment may be misaligned with your body’s natural biology.  Quotes “Sometimes people can't fully get well, if they don't address the traumas, the mental emotional stuff.” (3:13-3:21 | Laura) “With Access Bars, at worst, it's a relaxing massage, and at best it changes your whole life.” (9:27-9:33 | Laura) “The environment that we put our body in and the type of exposure that our body receives in that environment is the absolute most critical thing.” (35:58-36:07 | Meredith) “Circadian rhythm controls every process in the body, and circadian rhythm is controlled by natural light.” (44:02-44:08 | Meredith) “You want to be synced with the sun. If you're not synced with the sun, it's going to lead to disease in the body.” (58:22-58:30 | Laura) “You can become diabetic from blue light.” (1:01:23-1:01:25 | Laura)   Links Connect with Laura Kissmann: Website: https://laurakissmannwellness.com/ Instagram: @lkwellness To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“If you aren't embracing or exposing yourself to natural light or the principles of quantum biology, and all the things about ourselves as electromagnetic beings, it's going to compromise your health and that includes your mental health,” explains Heather Crimson, quantum therapist and experienced marriage and family counselor. The Western medical model heavily relies on prescribing medications even for mild and moderate cases of depression and anxiety. These pills act as a Bandaid rather than actually working out the root causes of the patients’ dysregulation. In this episode, Heather debunks myths about SSRI efficacy and shares her sunlight prescription for cultivating energy, confidence and security without medication. There is a vast lack of knowledge within the medical community when it comes to the impact of sunlight on mental health. Due to busy modern lifestyles filled with artificial light, most people are living in a way that actively works against their body’s natural biology. Although there is no research showing that SSRIs help with depression or even that serotonin is the main driver for depression, they are the most commonly prescribed treatment, even for mild cases. These medications often cause damaging side effects and do nothing to treat the lifestyle factors that are at the root of circadian dysfunction. By getting morning sunlight, reducing artificial light exposure, and blocking blue light in the evenings, your circadian rhythm will begin to properly regulate itself and you will see a marked improvement in both mental and physical health symptoms, all without the help of any medications.  People are quick to discount the efficacy of self care, because it sounds too simple and it is easier to think of a pill as a cure. As electromagnetic beings, humans are designed to get their energy from the sun and nature. When you start to live in a way that aligns with your biology, you will be amazed at how much better you feel.  Quotes “If you aren't embracing or exposing yourself to natural light or the principles of quantum biology, and all the things about ourselves as electromagnetic beings, it's going to compromise your health and that includes your mental health.” (4:41-4:55 | Heather)  “There's an energy problem in their neurotransmitter function, in their hormonal function; and that is the issue.” (13:27-13:35 | Heather) “There's no research that shows that SSRIs help, or that serotonin is actually the cause of depression.” (14:15-14:22 | Heather) “We're not living in a way that supports our biology.” (25:07-25:12 | Heather)   Links Connect with Heather Crimson, LMFT, MS: Instagram: @heathercrimson Website: www.enlightenedmood.com   To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“If you don't mind your mitochondria at night, it does not matter what you do the next day,” explains Dr. Michael Twyman, board certified cardiologist. Dr. Michael began working in traditional cardiology in 2012 and realized that there was a lack of focus on preventative measures to help stop people from having heart problems in the first place. In 2020, he opened his own clinic to address preventative heart health by applying quantum principles. In this episode, Dr. Michael shares his top tips for preventing heart attacks through healing mitochondrial dysfunction.  There are up to 5,000 mitochondria per heart cell. With so many mitochondria fueling the heart, it stands to reason that when the mitochondria are not getting enough energy to function properly, then heart health will decline. There are many preventative measures one can take to protect their heart, but at the base level, it all comes down to sunlight and sleep. Simply by seeing the sunrise each day and getting good quality sleep, you will significantly lower your risk for heart attacks. Sleep is key, because during sleep the mitochondria undergo the repair process. Issues like congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation are linked to sleep apnea, so it is critical to mind your circadian rhythm and make improving your sleep a top priority.  Most people do not think about their heart health until something goes wrong. Instead of waiting for a heart attack to address your heart health, start taking preventative measures today.  Quotes “My number one thing is, always see the morning sunrise.” (6:02-6:06 | Dr. Michael) “A lot of heart rhythm issues such as A. Fibrillation are often associated with obstructive sleep apnea.” (12:22-12:28 | Dr. Michael) “Sleep is not when you end your day. You have to think of sleep as when you begin your day.” (16:31-16:36 | Dr. Michael) “Before light bulbs were invented, the only type of light you had at night was red light from a fire, so you're just trying to recreate that type of experience.” (26:17-26:25 | Dr. Michael) “Since the heart is heavily dense in mitochondria, it stands to reason that if you could put more energy into mitochondria in the heart, things may work better.” (29:00-29:10 | Dr. Michael) Links Connect with Dr. Michael Twyman: Dr Twyman's Clinic: https://drtwyman.com/apollocardiology/ Instagram: @drtwyman     To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“Sunlight combined with homeopathy transformed my health and my healing experience in huge ways,” shares Heathar Shepard, a New Mexico-based homeopathic health practitioner. After a car accident that left her with a traumatic brain injury, Heathar tried everything to get her health back on track. It was not until she discovered the quantum lifestyle and began incorporating more sunlight into her routine that she began to see dramatic improvements to her overall health. After only one week of watching the sunrise and improving her circadian rhythm, she was sleeping better and her migraines and dizziness were nearly gone. In this episode, Heathar breaks down how homeopathy works and the ways in which it can help to restore the body’s mitochondrial functioning, especially when combined with a quantum lifestyle.  People often have misconceptions about homeopathy, viewing it as just “sugar pills”. In actuality, homeopathic remedies are much more. They are a diluted energetic remnant of the original substance that can aid in curing a multitude of health concerns from acute pain and illness to severe chronic conditions like cancer and schizophrenia. After a traumatic event like an injury or illness, grief, shock, or witnessing something very frightening, the body’s electron spin rate changes. When homeopathic supplements are taken in combination with quantum lifestyle changes, dramatic improvements are possible due to restoring the electron spin rate to its original state.  Emotional states like grief can have a strong impact on a person’s overall health. This is why homeopaths tend to focus on healing emotional states first before addressing physical symptoms. As the emotional state is healed, the physical symptoms will begin to heal as well. If you are dealing with the aftereffects of an injury, grief, or any kind of shock to the body, and traditional modalities have not provided relief, consider visiting a homeopath like Heathar who can help get your mitochondrial functioning back on track.  Quotes “Sunlight combined with homeopathy transformed my health and my healing experience in huge ways.” (9:27-9:33 | Heathar) “Whether it's a shock or grief, or a really, truly frightful experience you witness, it can change the way the electrons spin in your body.” (13:14-13:27 | Heathar)  “Skin cancer rates have gone up 2 to 7% per year since the 70s when sunscreen was introduced.” (18:42-18:48 | Heathar) “If we can get the organism to let it out in grief or in its all natural way, by using homeopathy, it can do huge things for people.” (46:04-46:14 | Heathar)   Links Connect with Heathar Shepard: Instagram: @sunlight_rx Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-primal-pioneer/id1482963642 Website: https://heatharshepard.com/   The Spin of Electrons and the Proof for the Action of Homeopathic Remedies:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7550134/  To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“It's not just drinking water. It’s making sure that your mitochondria can generate that structured water, that exclusion zone water, that is really what is hydrating you,” explains Dr. Lauren Dodds, quantum chiropractor and founder of South Alabama Quantum Health where she combines her work in upper cervical chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, and the Arvigo techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy with her deep understanding of quantum health. In this episode, Dr. Lauren discusses cellular hydration and why it is so important both to the structural integrity of the body as well as to one’s mental and emotional states.  Cellular hydration refers to your mitochondria being able to generate enough structured or exclusion zone water for all of the body’s processes. In this case, cellular dehydration occurs anytime there is a dysfunction within the fascia or in the quality or quantity of available structured water. When your body doesn’t have enough structured water, the flow of electrons in your body will be disrupted. This can lead to an array of symptoms from brain fog and fatigue to gastrointestinal problems and muscle pain. In order to keep your mitochondria hydrated, it is critical to fix any dysfunction in your circadian rhythm by getting enough sunlight, observing the sunrise and sunset, and avoiding artificial light at night. You can also help your body out by improving the quality of your drinking water through filtering out toxins like fluoride and adding minerals like electrolytes. Drinking water is not enough to ensure healthy levels of cellular hydration. Your mitochondria need the infrared light from the sun and free electrons from the Earth in order to generate enough structured water to maintain good flow throughout the body. If you have been suffering from the effects of cellular dehydration, consider working to improve your circadian rhythm and being mindful about the quality of your drinking water.   Quotes “Fascia and water go together. If one is dysfunctional, then the structure is not going to work.” (10:42-10:48 | Dr. Lauren)  “The water that we drink is called bulk water…doesn't have the same structure that the water that our mitochondria makes.” (11:36-11:58 | Dr. Lauren)  “It's not just drinking water. It’s making sure that your mitochondria can generate that structured water, that exclusion zone water, that is really what is hydrating you.” (12:46-12:57 | Dr. Lauren) “Making sure that you're getting good sunlight during the day, and then making sure that you're blocking the artificial light at night, I think are two of the biggest things that you can do for your mitochondrial health.” (17:28-17:40 | Dr. Lauren) “A lot of things come back to dehydration and not enough of that structured water. And then when you start to repair that mitochondrial function, to create that good water, it seems like a lot of things start to take care of itself.” (47:09-47:25 | Dr. Lauren) Links Connect with Dr. Lauren Dodds: Website: https://soalquantumhealth.com/ Instagram @drlaurendodds Clinic: Spark Wellness www.sparkmywellness.com @sparkmywellness   To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Often people are surprised that their immune system is so connected to their emotions,” shares Dr. Kelli Ritter, quantum-certified anxiety coach and host of The Nourished Soul podcast. As a former professor and mental health focused nutritionist, Dr. Kelli has a lot of experience with the gut brain axis, or the connection between mental health and digestive health. She believes that circadian rhythm is the missing link to regulating not only physical health, but emotional health as well. In this episode, Dr. Kelli talks about the impact emotions can have on the immune system's ability to function optimally and the ways that sunlight can be used to heal physical and emotional health concerns alike. The vagus nerve runs all the way through the entire body and plays a major role in the communication process. This communication process can be interrupted by circadian dysregulation, as without enough sunlight the mitochondria are unable to produce adequate amounts of structured water and ATP. This can lead to health issues like fatigue, insomnia, digestive difficulties, and anxiety. When it comes to healing mental health conditions like anxiety, the best place to start is with circadian signaling. This means doing things like eating only during the day, sticking to seasonally appropriate foods, watching the sunrise each morning, and steering clear of harmful, artificial light sources, especially before bed.  When you regulate your circadian rhythm, not only will your physical health improve, but your mental health will as well. If you struggle with anxiety or any associated digestive health difficulties, it might be time to take a look at your relationship with the sun and begin to regulate your circadian rhythm. Quotes “Food can be a big piece, but not nearly as important as quantum health strategies.” (39:11-39:17 | Dr. Kelli)  “Resilience is staying curious about what's actually happening.” (57:45-57:48 | Dr. Kelli) “Often people are surprised that their immune system is so connected to their emotions.” (1:00:20-1:00:27 | Dr. Kelli) “When you're trying to shove things down, you'll get more immune system responses to things.” (1:00:27-1:00:32 | Dr. Kelli) “Love is the medicine and these safety signals are the way to have the frequency of love.” (1:07:32-1:07:38 | Dr. Kelli) Links Connect with Dr. Kelli Ritter  IG & TikTok: dr_kelli Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nourished-soul-podcast/id1611197818 Website: https://www.nourished-soul.com/   To receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day & join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb To find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org To see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve Twitter: @quantumhealthtv   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
