“You can’t be helpless, you can’t outsource your thinking to centralized authorities,” says today’s guest Zaid K. Dahhaj. Nearly a decade into his work in the health and fitness space, Zaid began a deep-dive into the area of circadian optimization and is now passionate about teaching others about it—or more specifically—-encouraging them to teach themselves. A self-proclaimed autodidact with an inherent distrust of authority, he’s deeply skeptical of what he considers to be an incentive-structured healthcare system and of the findings which emerge therefrom. Instead he promotes self-advocacy and taking control of one’s own health. This includes becoming circadian optimized, as the lack of which, he says, is the root cause of nearly all chronic disease.

On this episode of The Quantum Biology Collective podcast, Zaid will reveal products such as sunblock and sunglasses—that centralized healthcare has told us were crucial to our well-being are actually artificially manipulating the light cycle. He explains why everything , the best time at which to eat it, and even the best time to get an X-ray according to circadian principles.

Quotes:

• “I don’t think people should start off trusting any so-called government-funded expert. I think they should actually start off as a skeptical human being when it comes to these sorts of discussions.” (9:53 | Zaid K. Dahhaj)
• “The key is that the education is in your hands. Now, we live in a time where education is more decentralized. You have the opportunity to be able to study this work on your own. You don’t have to go to your local doctor or any other so-called authority in the realm, you can just take it into your own hands.” (12:46 | Zaid K. Dahhaj)
• “We have to understand that the inputs that light has on the entire body as a system are just as powerful, if not more powerful, than food because food is just an extension of light. And to ignore that fact is really to divorce yourself from nature because you don’t see the chain of how things are working. And I think that’s a big problem that people in modern society struggle with is just this disconnection from nature in general.” (20:57 | Zaid K. Dahhaj)
• “It’s very important to understand how to use these zeitgebers—again, external circadian cues…That’s what I want people to understand—digestive health, mental health, neurotransmitter production, mood regulation, all of it is downstream from the way that those clocks sync up with each other.” (31:00 | Zaid K. Dahhaj)
• “Always be experimenting. Always have skin in the game and orient yourself around that.” (100:00 | Zaid K. Dahhaj)

“We’re first and foremost energy beings,” says today’s guest Deanna Won, who, after a stunning career working as a scientist and in a leadership capacity for the U.S. military took her all over the world, found herself on the brink of death from a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. On today’s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, she shares her incredible story of bringing herself back not only from cancer but in many ways healthier and stronger than she was before. She talks to host Meredith Oke about what her experience taught her about the miraculous design of the human body, why she was adamant about refusing chemotherapy even when doctors said it was her only hope, and the peculiar message she received that ultimately saved her life.

Deanna reflects on the amount of circadian light disruption her job caused her and how it affected her mentally and physically. While many people try to treat or prevent disease—which is essentially light incoherence within the body—the emotional and spiritual components are far more important, she argues. She shares a controversial idea about the connection between disease and certain spiritual entities.

Having started her career working, essentially, with liquid crystal, Deanna shares how humans, with our fascia and connective tissue are, essentially liquid crystal as well. In fact, scientifically, we are like gemstones, made to radiate light.

Quotes:

• “It didn’t make logical sense to me just looking at it. Why would you put poisons into a body that’s already having immune system issues? It’s so hard on the body. I really believe that any therapy should do no harm to the body and its systems.” (37:53 | Deanna Won)
• “You learn how resilient our human bodies are when you go through experiences like that. It’s such a marvel. I just believe we have so much wisdom designed in our bodies.” (50:00 | Deanna Won)
• “When our bodies, which are designed to actually radiate coherent light, when we get sick or when something is not quite right within an organ or whatever system, we begin to emit incoherent light. And so, in order to correct that, we don’t correct it with food necessarily—yes, there are electrons in there—but we have to go back to the source.” (1:06:15 | Deanna Won)
• “People are just so on this whole diet thing, and it doesn’t matter how healthy the food you’re eating if you have toxic thoughts or if you have unresolved traumas and past conflicts that have not been resolved.” (1:10:34 | Deanna Won)

“It’s really important to think about the small choices that one is making every day from the mind and heart space and realize how much our thoughts are affecting our biology,” says today’s guest Heather Crimson, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss the largely overlooked connection between mental health and mitochondrial health. In her 20-year practice as a therapist and through her own journey of healing from early childhood trauma, Heather has come to realize the damage that trauma inflicts upon our cells, causing inflammation and a resulting cast of physical issues, which, in turn, fuel our negative thoughts and emotions. On today’s episode, she talks about reaching outside of contemporary psychology’s biochemical model to address clients’ issues at the cellular level and, ultimately, make therapy more effective.

Addressing mitochondrial damage not only enhances traditional therapy practices, but reaches past the limits of merely talking out the problem. When we listen to our body’s needs—the basis of which is aligning with circadian light—we align with our truest selves. Heather discusses the practice of myofascial release, which not only clears out old trauma but allows space for new, healthier connections going forward.

Contrary to popular belief, healing can be quick, easy, and even fun. Join today’s discussion with Heather and host Meredith Oke to learn more.

Quotes:

• “When I started improving my circadian rhythm and I started to feel stronger, then my emotions would turn around. It’s like my emotions tend toward the more neutral and positive, whereas when your body feels bad, you don’t have energy. The voltage is so low, no wonder your emotions and your thoughts—they’re awful!” (12:53 | Heather Crimson)
• “I think the main paradigm shift needs to be a few things: trusting our bodies and how resilient they are, that our bodies don’t make mistakes, they’re designed to heal. Understanding our bio-electric nature, we are intimately tied to the natural environment and we are a part of that ecosystem…it all ties together” (25:18 | Heather Crimson)
• “It’s really important to think about all the small choices that one is making every day, especially from the mind and heart space. I think we can obsess about the physiological and not realize how much our thoughts, the nature of our thoughts and the emotional home that we live in is affecting our biology.” (26:07 | Heather Crimson)
• “Psychology Today have been talking about mitochondria being a key factor in mental health since 2017, but they’re still in the biochemical model and, ‘Oh, what drugs can we make to help our mitochondria,’ and you see that a lot when you start to do the research.” (31:03 | Heather Crimson)
• “Fascia, as we know, is key insofar as our bodies’ holding energetic imprints and also how it’s affecting our body’s ability to do quantum communication.” (47:25 | Heather Crimson)
