Ep 008 The Chronobiology Master: Dr. Alexander Wunsch on the Danger of Junk Light & The Secrets of The Sun

“Almost every chronic disorder or chronic condition can be linked more or less directly to chronobiological disruption. What we would call civilization associated disorders or diseases, they are all linked to bad habits with regard to lighting and light exposure,” explains Dr. Alexander Wunsch, chronobiologist. Today, host Meredith Oke talks with Dr. Wunsch about the dangers of artificial light and the reasons why natural sunlight is so vital.
Every organism has adapted to a natural circadian biology, meaning they balance their sleep and wake cycles with those of the sun. When that circadian rhythm is interrupted, our bodies cannot function optimally and require more energy for basic metabolic functions. In most of Western society, people are not getting the proper daily dose of sunlight and instead are spending 90% of their day exposed to artificial light including blue light from computers and cellphones.
Most people are not getting the right dosage of sunlight to reap the positive benefits of the sun. When they do get sunlight, people are often overdosing and causing long term harm to their bodies. In contrast, artificial light is damaging to our natural circadian biology and can be just as problematic to our health as overdosing on sunlight.
Quotes
“Almost every chronic disorder or chronic condition can be linked more or less directly to chronobiological disruption. What we would call civilization associated disorders or diseases, they are all linked to bad habits with regard to lighting and light exposure.” (6:05-6:39 | Dr. Wunsch)
“Most humans in the western industrialized societies don't even have the chance to get the right dose of sunlight on a regular basis, because they are locked into very artificial conditions.” (21:42-22:07 | Dr. Wunsch) 
“90% of people living indoors are exposed to artificial light and are living indoors 90% of their lifetime. And so the impact of the artificial light sources, I would say is even more problematic. And, the fact is we have not enough true, unfiltered natural sunlight. And on the other hand, we have much too much cold, artificial light surrogates, artificial light, overdose of artificial light, and almost no exposure to unfiltered natural light. And this makes the problems.” (22:51-23:51 | Dr. Wunsch) 
“If you are exposed on a constant basis on the right dosage level, sunlight is positive. And if you are intermittently exposed in terms of overdosing every seven days or 10 days or so, then sunlight will unfold its nasty properties, but not immediately, but 10, 20, 30 years later.” (30:44-31:14 | Dr. Wunsch)
“True light bulbs which produce the light via heat are the best artificial light source because they produce the natural spectral distribution, and our bodies are adapted to so-called thermal light sources.” (46:56-47:16 | Dr. Wunsch)

Ep 007: How Healthy Light Habits Lead to Emotional Health with Circadian Man Matt Mancz

“Health is a byproduct of the environment and the lifestyle you live,” explains Matt Mancz, Circadian Performance Coach. An athlete passionate about strength and conditioning, Matt sought a career where he could focus on health and athletic performance. Finding gaps in traditional athletic training, Matt discovered quantum biology and now incorporates circadian principles into his life and work. 
With Dr. Alex Lee, Matt co-founded and opened Circadian Healing Performance, where they do everything from nervous system chiropractic care to bodywork and massage therapy, all with a circadian foundation in mind. Through his work, Matt understands how connected our energy is to the natural world, which includes spending time outdoors, experiencing touch, and having proper mitochondria function. When you develop simple, light habits, not only will you feel better physically, but you will see vast differences in your mental health. Ultimately, by connecting to the environment and the world around you, you can develop a lifestyle of vitality in the purest, most human way. 
When you adhere to quantum biology, your physical and emotional health will improve. Matt follows circadian rhythm principles, but an important distinction is that everything in life is a rhythm, from physical movement to the food we eat, to the light in the day and the darkness at night. When we understand that our health is a natural expression, we can make common sense choices, feeling better along the way.
Quotes
“I am just a performance coach and a massage therapist who only executes his service in an environment that is aligned with quantum biology and circadian biology.” (17:37-17:49 | Matt) 
“Bodywork is so important, and it’s a vital part of the quantum equation in health and performance.” (21:17-21:25 | Matt)
“You're designed to live in the natural environment. And what that does is unlock all the genetic  potential slumbering within yourself.” (31:52-31:59 | Matt) 
“Health is a byproduct of the environment and the lifestyle you live.” (32:46-32:50 | Matt)
“If you want to learn about your body, mind, and where it goes and how to bring it back to center, the best place to begin is the breath.” (38:33-38:42 | Matt)
“If you have a sound mind, that's only possible if you're breathing properly. That's only possible if you're connected to nature. That's only possible if you're putting good food in your mouth.” (41:30-41:37 | Matt)

Ep 005: Carrie Bennett & Dr Catherine Clinton on the Quantum Shifts in Scientific Paradigms

“People are looking for a truth they can get behind that's not associated with politics, dogmas and religion, and all these kinds of sectarian clashes,” explains guest Dr. Catherine Clinton. Today, Dr. Clinton and guest Carrie Bennett join host Meredith to discuss the current paradigm shift from biochemistry to quantum biology. Breaking down the recent changes in health and philosophy, they share the current state of science and the future ahead.
As history has always shown, breakthrough science tends to come from the fringe rather than the mainstream. In a day and age where science has become more about profits than people, the fringe is, unfortunately, being ignored. However, the more scientists of different practices communicate and research, the closer we can get to true health freedom. After all, scientists are meant to prove their theories wrong to bring us closer to the truth.
Quantum biology is gradually becoming more and more part of the mainstream conversation. Learn more about social upheaval’s effect on science, the importance of cross-practice discussion, and the shifts regarding mitochondria.
Quotes
“People are looking for a truth they can get behind that's not associated with politics, dogmas and religion, and all these kinds of sectarian clashes.” (16:18-16:34 | Dr. Catherine)
“Breakthrough science doesn't come from the mainstream, it comes from the fringe, and we need to support the fringe.” (18:15-18:22 | Carrie) 
“We become so reductionistic that we think physics doesn't have to do with biology, or chemistry or life. The list goes on and on.” (21:45-21:56 | Dr. Catherine)
“Science is always trying to prove yourself wrong, so you can maybe funnel yourself a little bit closer to the direction of truth.” (25:43-25:51 | Carrie) 
“The paradigm shift is happening, and it only takes one foot out of the box. I think we're finally there, and I couldn't be more thrilled about it.” (1:01:24-1:01:36 | Dr. Catherine)

Ep 004 How Quantum Health Principles Are Changing The Way Athletes Train

“If I can use multiple variables to make someone get better, that will be much more sustainable, and that person will be much healthier, explains Jim Laird, Strength & Conditioning Coach. In today’s episode, guest hosts Jim Laird and Dr. Leland Stillman return to discuss adjusting your circadian clock during daylight savings and how light aids with athletic performance. Through their knowledge of quantum biology, they share what it means to be a quantum athlete and healthier individual overall.
With our modern lifestyles, we are constantly indoors, negatively affecting our fitness and health. For instance, if we expose ourselves to blue light at night, our bodies believe its day time, which throws off the regeneration process of our mitochondria. Without proper sleep, we cannot optimize our physical performance and fulfill our athletic goals. To counteract this, find time to go outside and take in that natural light our bodies are meant to have.
Quantum Health is changing how athletes train. Learn more about how light boosts sports recovery, red infrared light’s melatonin-boosting effects, and the types of devices Dr. Leland recommends.
Quotes
“We've built this modern lifestyle that's taking people away from nature, and eventually, people will have to figure out some ways to work around that.” (11:42-12:38 | Jim)
“You've got to get bright, visible light during the day. And you've got to avoid blue and green light at night if you're going to have a healthy sleep for optimal performance.” (15:26-15:36 | Dr. Leland)
“When it comes to athletes, what they need to understand is their performance is strongly linked to light signals in their environment because the stronger their circadian rhythms are, and the more light they're exposed to during the day, the better they're going to perform.” (22:47-23:04 | Dr. Leland) 
“If I can use multiple variables to make someone get better, that will be much more sustainable, and that person will be much healthier.” (41:40-41:47 | Jim)
“​​If you're not buying a lens that's dark red or orange, it's not blocking an adequate amount of blue light to protect your circadian rhythms at night.” (49:21-49:30 | Dr. Leland)

Ep 002 Dr Leland Stillman on The Effect of Quantum & Circadian Biology On Fitness

“More natural light, less fake light. That's really what it comes down to. It's that simple,” explains Jim Laird, Strength & Conditioning Coach. Today, guests Jim and Dr. Leland Stillman, an Integrative Physician, discuss the effects of quantum biology on fitness. Both experts in their field, Dr. Leland and Jim break down how everyday factors, including light and water, work together to keep you healthy or make you sick.
When we are constantly inside and subjected to artificial light, we prohibit our natural circadian rhythm. Not only will we be subjected to disease and poor sleep, but we will not be able to meet our peak performance. Whether you are an athlete or someone who cares about your health, Dr. Leland and Jim suggest going outside to let your cells naturally regenerate and you will feel better in the process.
Improving your quantum environment is the ultimate fitness performance hack. Learn more about light’s effect on the immune system, improving your mitochondrial health, and why Dr. Leland moved away from conventional medicine.
Quotes
“I've created an entire business that brings people indoors, but what people really need is to be outside more.” (7:21-7:27 | Jim) 
“When we talk about quantum, we're really talking about the smallest units of energy, frequency vibration, photons, electrical, magnetic fields, things that people can't sense, or are vaguely aware of, not the food you're putting in your body all that's related, we'll get into that later. But all these factors play a critical role. And then, once you've helped somebody create a healthy light and quantum environment, then you can begin to work with them too. Okay, what's the next tool we can use to get you to the next level of performance.” (10:13-10:43 | Dr. Leland)
“When you optimize cellular energy generation, you optimize athletic performance, period, end of story.”  (27:10-27:15 | Dr. Leland) 
“The insurance companies don't pay for you to be healthy. They're there to bail you out if something catastrophic happens. They have no real skin in your game.” (33:46-33:55 | Dr. Leland)
“More natural light, less fake light. That's really what it comes down to. It's that simple.” (44:49-44:54 | Jim)
“The fact is that with light, if you don't fix it, it can derail all these systems that will not respond to any other therapeutic.” (46:42-46:49 | Dr. Leland)
