Episode 30: Understanding Quantum Health - The Story of Light, Water, and Magnetism with Dr. Alexis J. Cowan

November 08, 2024 • Zak & Jordan

In this enlightening episode, we’re joined by Dr. Alexis Cowan, a leader in quantum biology, to unravel the complex relationship between light, water, and magnetism and their profound impact on health. Dr. Cowan takes us through her journey of exploring ancestral wisdom and modern science, emphasising the critical role of light exposure, mitochondrial function, and circadian rhythms.

We dive deep into the differences between ancestral and modern light environments, the benefits of red and infrared light for mitochondrial health, and how our reliance on artificial blue light is disrupting our natural biological processes. Dr. Cowan sheds light on the vital role of sleep and autophagy in maintaining cellular health, extending longevity, and optimising mitochondrial function.

Our conversation also delves into the nuanced relationship between haplotypes, mitochondrial health, and the impact of seasonal diets. We explore the integration of traditional wisdom with modern science, including the importance of DHA for brain health, the truth about sun exposure, and misconceptions about melanoma. Dr. Cowan bridges the scientific with the spiritual, discussing how aligning with nature’s rhythms and incorporating spiritual practices can elevate our overall health.

This episode is packed with practical insights on how to reconnect with nature, enhance mitochondrial function, and create an optimal environment for health and vitality.
