About this listen

Life at the subatomic level, for people who know there's more health than we've been told. Grab the guide at www.qbcpod.com Is your light environment more important than the food you eat? How does sunlight help depression? Does a barefoot walk outside boost your immune system? Hosted by Meredith Oke, The Quantum Biology Collective Podcast features pioneering health professionals who study, apply and explain the emerging field of applied quantum biology. It's a new paradigm of understanding how human health REALLY works that is light years beyond the current traditional medical model. Quantum biology, or biophysics, is the bridge from the bio-chemical, newtonian model to the new paradigm of energy medicine that view our bodies as electric liquid crystal, not machines. From the vast research showing that circadian rhythms regulate every important process and pathway in the body, to emerging research that quantum mechanical processes are taking place in our cells—this new world is the missing link that you’re searching for.

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

    “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. Karen 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. Karen 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. Karen 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 Takeaways
    1. Stop outsourcing your well-being—take ownership of your health journey and build your own team of holistic healers and supportive practices.
    2. 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.
    3. Demand real solutions, not just labels—refuse to be gaslit or boxed in by reductive diagnoses and insist on in-depth, whole-person care.
    4. 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.
    5. 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...

  • 165: How Dr. Damien Downing Tapped into Ancient Wisdom and Light Science to Overcome Chronic Health Challenges

    "How could [sunlight] not be crucial? It is as necessary to us as water is to fish—more so," says Dr. Damien Downing, integrative physician, pioneer of ecological medicine, and author of Coherent Health, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to reveal how sunlight, structured water, and our electromagnetic environment fundamentally shape human biology.

    Once a conventional MD dismissive of “all that stuff,” Dr. Damien Downing details his paradigm-shifting journey down the physics rabbit hole—culminating in a radical understanding: humans are not just biochemical or bioelectrical beings, but also “bioinformational” ones, with the capacity to store and transmit information via structured water and time crystals within our bodies. From exploring why full-spectrum sunlight is far more than “just” vitamin D, to explaining how modern indoor living and non-native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) short-circuit natural health, he breaks down how everything from depression to appetite to the mysteries of consciousness—like telepathy, intuition, and prayer—may finally have scientific mechanisms.

    In this lively conversation, you’ll hear why Dr. Damien Downing believes mainstream medicine ignores the most essential nutrient of all, sunlight; what structured water and ‘time crystals’ mean for the future of health; how light serves as the body’s original prescription; and practical ways to reclaim your biological coherence.

    Tune in to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to discover why your health—and maybe your consciousness—depends on the quantum energy all around (and within) you.

    5 Key Takeaways
    1. Sunlight is foundational to health—get outside every day, regardless of the season, and let natural light hit your eyes and skin.
    2. Ditch artificial lighting after sunset—replace toxic LED and fluorescent bulbs with biologically friendly alternatives, and minimize screen time at night.
    3. Prioritize your sleep environment—remove all sources of non-native EMFs and electronics from your bedroom to optimize deep rest and repair.
    4. Use tools like the My Circadian app—track your daily light exposure and circadian habits to start reclaiming your energetic health.
    5. Remember, full-spectrum sunlight and grounding are your best “supplements”—start simple, build habits, and witness the transformations in your energy, mood, and resilience.

    Memorable Quotes"Sunlight is as necessary to us as water is to fish. This is what we evolved in, the whole of life evolved in. A lot of the energy we use, a lot of the incoming energy that we make ATP with and do energetic things in ourselves, comes from light rather than from food.""If it's natural, if we evolved in it for billions of years, then it's got to be good. And if it's non-natural, then it's probably bad, or at least it's capable of being bad.""Faith is a form of coherence. You get this stuff working together; we've all seen things where people...
