Dr. Dibley is an expert in helping others unlock their true potential: his family’s strong roots in natural healthcare and his own passions led him to explore the principles of Quantum Physics, and how we can apply them to our everyday lives. Serving one’s purpose on the quantum level leads to being served in return, or as Dr. Dibley puts it, ‘Who serves on the quantum gets served on the quantum.’Dr. Dibley speaks about the intention behind design, such as what we create at Holzweiler, and how the energy infused into it can transform the way people feel and interact with the world around them. The discussion delves into themes of personal energy, thriving versus surviving, and how even fashion carries intention and energy. They also touch upon the role of discipline and gratitude in achieving balance.Ultimately, this conversation is an exploration of how serving one’s purpose on the quantum level leads to being served in return, and the significance of intention in both design and wellbeing. As he explains in the episode, Dr. Dibley’s main goal is to guide people into architecting a meaningful life while staying harmoniously connected with the universe. Hosted on Acast.

As biohacking gains traction in Norway, media interest has surged, leading to greater public awareness and acceptance. However, the movement still faces skepticism. Monica Øien & Alette Aubert, otherwise known as the Biohacking Girls, know their work in the field including their upcoming book and the Biohacking Weekend conference, is more important than ever.Now in its fourth year, Biohacking Weekend is the only event of its kind in Scandinavia, attracting world-renowned experts. This year, Dr. Bill Schindler will address the dangers of ultra-processed foods, while his wife, Christina, will focus on improving children’s nutrition in schools. The event will also feature discussions on cutting-edge topics like peptides, NAD+, and mental resilience, fostering a growing sense of community where attendees feel understood and supported.Monica and Alette reflect on the evolution of biohacking in Norway, noting its slow but steady progress. Unlike the male-dominated biohacking scene in the U.S., Norway has maintained a strong female presence, thanks to efforts to include women from the start.In addition to organising the conference, Monica and Alette are finalizing their book, which covers biohacking fundamentals, stress management, and habit-building. They emphasize the importance of balance—avoiding biohacking extremes and instead focusing on practical, sustainable health strategies.Their personal well-being remains a priority, incorporating breathwork, time in nature, and cold water exposure into their daily routines. Their mission remains clear as the movement grows: to inspire and educate, making biohacking more accessible and rooted in both science and real-life experiences. Hosted on Acast.
