"We can build our perfect life. We can literally build a life around how we want to live," says Oksana Hanson, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to share her transformative journey from corporate executive to quantum health advocate. After a melanoma diagnosis at 35, Oksana questioned conventional wisdom and embraced circadian biology principles, leading to profound improvements in her physical and emotional well-being.

Oksana discusses how aligning with natural rhythms, spending time outdoors, and prioritizing family values reshaped her life. She explains the power of saying "no" and the importance of living authentically. Oksana also reveals how homeschooling her children has allowed for a more circadian-aligned lifestyle and deeper family connections.

Tune in to today's episode to learn about Oksana's upcoming retreat, which promises to bring together leading minds in quantum health for a unique, immersive experience. Discover how embracing quantum principles can lead to what Oksana describes as "living heaven on earth" – a state she believes is within reach for everyone.

1. Start your day with sunrise exposure and end it by blocking blue light at night to improve sleep and energy levels.

2. Spend more time outdoors, even for everyday activities like meetings or coffee breaks, to boost mood and overall wellbeing.

3. Question conventional health advice and do your own research, trusting your intuition and personal experiences.

4. Create a set of core family values to guide decision-making and align your lifestyle with what truly matters to you.

5. Consider alternatives to traditional education, like homeschooling, to create a more flexible schedule that supports your family's health and circadian rhythms.

"We need to see all that in the health bubble," says Willie Duggan, third-generation lighting designer, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to illuminate the critical intersection between lighting design and human health. Duggan explains why the lighting industry's obsession with efficiency metrics has led to environments that disrupt our circadian rhythms and potentially harm our health. He shares insights from his own journey of recovery from a stroke at age 33, which sparked a passion for understanding the profound impact of our lit environments on our biology.

Today, Willie reveals how he's revolutionizing residential lighting design by incorporating circadian considerations, infrared light, and dynamic color temperature control. He discusses the challenges of educating an industry steeped in outdated paradigms and the exciting potential for collaboration between lighting professionals and health experts. Tune in to learn how Willie is building his own home as a prototype for health-optimized lighting and why he believes we're on the cusp of a paradigm shift in how we light our living spaces.

1. Design your home lighting with health in mind. Use dynamic white lighting that changes color temperature throughout the day, dimming and becoming warmer in the evening to support circadian rhythms.

2. Incorporate low-level lighting, like LED strips at skirting level, for evening use. This provides indirect, glare-free illumination from below rather than harsh overhead lighting.

3. Prioritize natural light by maximizing windows, especially south-facing ones. Position work areas near openable windows to get full daylight exposure when possible.

4. Be mindful of when and where you need functional task lighting versus ambient lighting. Many homes overuse bright overhead lights when softer, indirect lighting would be more appropriate and healthier.

5. Consider adding infrared light sources to your home, as this was present in incandescent bulbs but is lacking in most LED lighting. Look into emerging LED products that incorporate infrared wavelengths.

"Light is a nutrient the same as food," says Ken Ceder, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to illuminate the silent epidemic of mal-illumination and its profound impact on our health. With over 30 years of experience in developing healthy light products, Ceder explains how our modern indoor lifestyles have disconnected us from the vital benefits of natural sunlight, leading to a host of health issues.

In this eye-opening episode, Ceder reveals the surprising truth about common lighting options and their potential harm to our eyes and overall well-being. He discusses the groundbreaking work of John Ott, a pioneer in photobiology, and how it led to the development of full-spectrum lighting. Ceder also introduces the concept of "nutritional light technology" and explains why near-infrared light is crucial for cellular health and countering the negative effects of blue light from screens.

Tune in to discover why morning sunlight is essential for setting your circadian rhythm, how proper lighting can impact everything from mood to metabolism, and why investing in quality light might be more important for your health than your vitamin regimen. Learn about the innovative Soul Shine light products and how they aim to bring the benefits of natural sunlight indoors, potentially transforming your health and well-being.

1. Get morning sunlight daily. Spend 10-15 minutes outside in natural light first thing in the morning to set your circadian rhythm and boost metabolism. This simple habit can transform your health.

2. Be mindful of artificial lighting. Most indoor lighting, especially fluorescent and LED bulbs, lacks the full spectrum of natural light and may have harmful effects. Consider using full spectrum bulbs with near-infrared light.

3. Take frequent light breaks. If working indoors, step outside or by a window for 5 minutes each hour to give your eyes and body exposure to natural light. This can counteract the negative effects of artificial lighting.

4. Use caution with SAD light boxes. Many lack near-infrared light, which is crucial for eye health. Research products carefully and look for options that include near-infrared wavelengths.

5. View light as nutrition. Just as you're mindful of food quality, pay attention to your "light diet." Quality light is essential for properly metabolizing nutrients and vitamins from food.
