168: The Quantum Biology Revolution: A View from the Front Lines of Emergency Medicine

📺 Watch the Video on Spotify, YouTube & RumbleJoin our FREE Community“Maybe I don’t always have to give the molecule—maybe I could give the wave. If I can give the wave and do the same thing as giving the molecule, boy, that will be a revolution.” says Dr Lance Becker, pioneering emergency medicine doctor and chair of Northwell Health’s emergency department, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to unravel the tantalizing future of medicine at the quantum frontier.Lance B. Becker M.D. FAHA is an internationally recognized physician-scientist and a leading authority in the field of emergency medicine, resuscitation, cardiology, and critical care medicine. His work has revolutionized resuscitation science, particularly in the realms of cardiac arrest management, therapeutic hypothermia, therapies for reperfusion injury, and mitochondrial medicine.In his role as a scientist, Dr Lance Becker has begun studying quantum biology and in this episode he explains why energy—not just biochemistry—guides cellular decisions of life and death, how mitochondria move through our bodies to heal in ways textbooks never taught, and what it will mean to diagnose and heal disease using non-invasive wave-based sensors rather than blood samples or pills. He describes an imminent paradigm shift, where detecting our subtle, unique energetic “fingerprints” will allow real-time, personalized diagnosis and treatment.Tune in to this mind-expanding episode of the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to learn why Dr Lance Becker thinks biological science is on the threshold of its next revolution—one that could rival the discovery of DNA—and how you can be part of it.5 Key TakeawaysImagine your body as a symphony of waves, not just chemicals—seek out ways to support your “wave health” with light, sound, and nature, not just pills and procedures.Don’t wait for science to catch up before taking action—spend time in sunlight, get outside, and explore low-risk practices that honor your body’s innate wave connection.Question old paradigms. Ask your health professionals about new frontiers like mitochondrial health, quantum biology, and non-invasive diagnostics. Push for innovation.Build bridges across disciplines—whether you’re a patient, researcher, or just curious—talk about these topics, form connections, and join communities moving quantum biology forward.Stay curious and courageous. There’s never been a better time to be part of a scientific revolution—your support, attention, and advocacy can help reshape the future of medicine.Memorable Quotes"It's very likely that each reaction has its own fingerprint of what waves those are. Because it's not just energy—it's a specific fingerprint to that energy, made up of this wavelength. If we can identify what those are, we could say, 'Oh, that reaction took place,' and that would be very powerful.""We have a ton to figure out, and just think of all this fun research we can be doing on some of these things. I think one of the biggest questions for the general public is, does this seem like a valuable thing to maybe learn about? I kind of think this is a really important thing for us to learn about.""When good science and truth are under attack, it’s really important that we have voices that tell everyone how valuable research is to the world and how valuable it could be to the future of the world, to our children, to our grandchildren and beyond."Connect withe Dr. BeckerFeinstein Institutes for Medical Research: https://feinstein.northwell.edu/institutes-researchers/our-researchers/lance-b-becker-md-fahaResources MentionedThe Guy Foundation – https://www.theguyfoundation.org/There's more to QBC: You can join the FREE QBC online community here: https://qbcpod.com/freecommunityThe Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, a non profit organization translating the new science into practical application: https://www.iaqb.foundation/certificationFrom our sponsor: For red light therapy devices, blue blocking glasses, circadian friendly nightlights & more, visit boncharge.com and enter QBC in the discount box at checkout.MyCircadianAppDownload to your device from the App Store, use code QBCPOD.

167: How Dr Andrew Cohen Discovered the Quantum Biology Approach to Reversing Sleep Apnea

📺 Watch the Video on Spotify, YouTube & RumbleJoin our FREE Community“The body, when it’s inflamed, does not want more oxygen. It wants to get rid of oxygen,” says Dr. Andrew Cohen, board-certified dentist and sleep medicine specialist, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to expose a major blind spot in conventional approaches to sleep, chronic fatigue, and airway health. For decades, Dr. Cohen battled relentless exhaustion, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and reflux—treating symptoms with top-tier interventions from laser surgery to jaw expansion devices, yet his problems persisted and even worsened.Today, Dr. Cohen recounts the wake-up call that prompted him to overhaul his thinking: a radical shift away from the purely anatomical, toward mitochondrial health and bioenergetics. He explains how improving his light environment, blocking blue light, and reconnecting with natural sunlight rapidly reversed multiple chronic symptoms—including sleep apnea, hypertension, and lifelong fatigue—leading not just to restored function but to true wellbeing.Dr. Cohen lays out why most dental and sleep practitioners are missing the metabolic roots of inflammation, why "fixing the anatomy" alone can backfire, and how metabolic and circadian interventions can unlock deeper healing than most realize. He shares striking real-world outcomes for himself and patients, the overlooked dangers of blue light, and actionable strategies anyone can use to improve energy and sleep.Tune in to this episode of the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to learn why most snoring and sleep issues are not just airway problems—how fixing your light environment could transform your health, and why Dr. Cohen thinks every sleep practitioner must finally integrate quantum biology into their practice.5 Key TakeawaysSee the sunrise daily—anchor your circadian rhythm and ignite your body’s natural healing systems.Get outside and absorb natural sunlight whenever possible—even brief exposure boosts mitochondrial function and reduces inflammation.Ditch blue light at night—wear blue light blocking glasses and minimize screen use to protect deep sleep and repair.Track your own data—use tools like a continuous glucose monitor and snore lab app to discover patterns between lifestyle, food, and sleep quality.Challenge the status quo—ask practitioners about root causes, not just anatomy; holistic approaches integrating light, energy, and environment can solve what procedures alone cannot.Memorable Quotes"If you just fix anatomy and someone has a metabolic issue, you have the potential of making them worse. The body, when it's inflamed, does not want more oxygen—it wants to get rid of oxygen.""In order for a patient to have true skin in the game, they have to understand all of their options. We have an anatomic box, we have a metabolic box, and we can work on them both together or separately—but I don’t think just looking at anatomy and ignoring the metabolic is enough.""If you get the proper light signals, your brain starts making dopamine and serotonin on its own. You don’t need an external stimulus; you’re making it naturally. That’s what’s so crushing to me, seeing kids with anxiety, depression, and learning disorders when so much of this is tied to light."Connect with Dr Andrew CohenWebsite: https://www.sleephealthypa.com/what-sets-us-apart/meet-the-doctor/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555149623114Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewcohen_dmd/Resources MentionedSPEAR Education (Advanced Dental Education Center) - https://www.speareducation.com/Airway Health Solutions (Residency & resources for sleep disorder professionals) - https://airwayhealthsolutions.com/SnoreLab (Snoring and sleep tracking app) - https://www.snorelab.com/There's more to QBC: You can join the FREE QBC online community here: https://qbcpod.com/freecommunityThe Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, a non profit organization translating the new science into practical application: https://www.iaqb.foundation/certificationFrom our sponsor: For red light therapy devices, blue blocking glasses, circadian friendly nightlights & more, visit boncharge.com and enter QBC in the discount box at checkout.MyCircadianAppDownload to your device from the App Store, use code QBCPOD.

166: How Dr. Karyn Shanks Discovered a Holistic Approach to Overcome Chronic Illness

📺 Watch the Video on Spotify, YouTube & RumbleJoin our FREE Community“The genetics don’t change—our genes are set—but the way they express themselves, especially how they express themselves together, is very fluid. It’s dependent on basically everything that happens to us,” says Dr. Karyen Shanks, physician and author, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to challenge conventional medicine’s disease model and explain why epigenetics—not genetic destiny—holds the key to true healing.In this episode, Dr. Karyn Shanks reveals how her early disillusionment with the reductionist approach of Western medicine led her to become a change-maker from the inside. She advocates for a holistic, whole-person view that goes beyond labels and “disease boxes,” showing that most chronic illnesses are not fixed with magic bullets but through investigating an individual’s unique terrain—sleep, movement, love, trauma, environment—and empowering patients to trust their own innate wisdom. She discusses the dangers of medical gaslighting, the pitfalls of a system obsessed with pathology, and how lasting health requires curiosity, agency, and compassion.Tune in as Dr. Karyn Shanks shares the science behind epigenetics, the power of neuroplasticity, and how shifting our perspective can transform our health journey. Discover why the current system “has no business with chronic illness,” and what practical, hopeful pathways exist for reclaiming wholeness and resilience—no matter how complex or mysterious your symptoms may seem.5 Key TakeawaysStop outsourcing your well-being—take ownership of your health journey and build your own team of holistic healers and supportive practices.Shift from blaming your body to radical curiosity—treat every symptom as wise information, not a personal failure, and stay open to the healing process.Demand real solutions, not just labels—refuse to be gaslit or boxed in by reductive diagnoses and insist on in-depth, whole-person care.Use your environment and lifestyle to change your biology—harness the power of epigenetics and daily habits like sleep, movement, and connection to influence your genetic expression and resilience.Give yourself permission to walk away from what isn’t working—exercise agency by trying, adapting, and integrating new approaches until you find what truly serves you.Memorable Quotes"Our genetic destiny is not set in stone. We weren't designed to follow the exact trajectory of our parents and grandparents—the way our genes express themselves is very fluid and dependent on everything we experience, ingest, and feel.""The equilibrium may feel like suffering, it may look like chronic illness, but it's really this dynamic place. There are so many inroads to shifting where we're at, and one of the things I like to do is show people that terrain—all the things that make you who you are, that feed into your genetic expression, and can be shifted to rise out of suffering.""Our feelings aren't there to torture us—they're there to show us the way. We want to erase suffering rather than walk into it and ask, 'What do you have to teach me?' If we look at suffering as a portal and approach it with compassion and curiosity, we're going to get somewhere."Connect with Dr. Karyn ShanksWebsite: https://www.karynshanksmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KarynShanksMD/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karynshanksmd/Resources Mentioned[insert resources]There's more to QBC: You can join the FREE QBC online community here: https://qbcpod.com/freecommunityThe Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, a non profit organization translating the new science into practical application: https://www.iaqb.foundation/certificationFrom our sponsor: For red light therapy devices, blue blocking glasses, circadian friendly nightlights & more, visit boncharge.com and enter QBC in the discount box at checkout.MyCircadianAppDownload to your device from the App Store, use code QBCPOD.
