“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)

“It’s a very analogous system—the way that light interacts with the nebula, I think, is the way that the light is interacting with our bodies and with the biosphere in general,” says Robert Fosbury, astrophysicist who worked for 30 years for the European Space Agency and the Hubble Space Telescope. As the silos between scientific camps continue to crumble, Robert finds himself part of a multidisciplinary team who is exploring the way that light interacts with all aspects of life. Today, he joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss the link between astrophysics and the world of astronomy, and the world of light, bio photons, infrared light and quantum biology.

It is Robert’s belief that life is the biosphere and extremely intertwined with all the systems of the planet. He explains how different types of light enter and interact with the body, and why infrared light is so vital to the reproductive process of so many living things.

Join today’s discussion to hear Robert reveal the profession which has been surprisingly receptive to new findings on infrared light and its benefits to public health and which has been more reticent. He’ll also share the optimal location to sit to improve one’s health.

Quotes:

• “I no longer think of life being a set of individual species…back to the original James Ludlock idea, the early idea of Gaia and the fact that life and the state of the planet are very closely intertwined, I believe they are very closely intertwined.” (15:42 | Robert Fosbury)
• “If you’ve been a nurse working night shifts in a hospital in LED-lit wards for many weeks without having much time in daylight, you will begin to suffer from this. We know that the astronauts on the space station… they’ve had very extensive medical tests carried out on them...They also feel the effects of this ’21st-century scurvy,’ I call it. They suffer, we believe, infrared starvation.” (48:46 | Robert Fosbury)
• “It’s a very analogous system, the interaction of starlight with an interstellar nebula…the way that light interacts with the nebula, I think, is the way that the light is interacting with our bodies and with the biosphere in general.” (1:08:27 | Robert Fosbury)
• “I get really fed up with people saying, ‘Is quantum mechanics required to understand biology?’ Of course it is! The whole thing is quantum physics. Of course it is.” (1:16:42 | Robert Fosbury)

“When we have things that work for people, it’s because of frequency, and I would never have thought that,” says Kelli Ritter, PhD, trauma competent practitioner who returns to the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss what she believes is the true nature of anxiety versus the traditional paradigm which, while not wrong, doesn’t provide the full picture, and looks to merely manage anxiety rather than heal it from the source. And that source, Dr. Kelli says, is not negative thought patterns leading to negative emotions, but trauma, old wounds we aren’t aware of or haven’t truly dealt with, which then block frequencies in our fields.

And our personal frequency, which is developed when we do the work to heal ourselves, is a major part of finding the best practitioner for us. Dr. Kelli believes that a practitioner stands to benefit from a mutual healing with a client when their frequencies complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

We are on the cusp of entering a new paradigm for treating anxiety and people are hungry for it, Dr. Kelli says. Join today’s discussion to learn her thoughts on the importance of self love, safety, stability and trust to the healing process, and how to join her workshop to become more trauma-informed.

Quotes:

• “The idea—I get it, it makes sense—that you’re going to give somebody a diagnosis and if you get the correct diagnosis…you’re going to get the right treatment. But I didn’t ever see that happening. And my thinking now is that when it does work, when we have things that work for people, it works because of frequency, and I would have never thought that.” (9:43 | Dr. Kelli Ritter)
• “When you have a practitioner of any kind that has, in their field—I know this is really woo-woo, but just stick with me, this is frequency—when they have worked on themselves and they are healthy and their field is very vibrant and there aren’t the breaks in the same places that you as the ‘client’ have breaks, there’s an exchange of healing. And so, we—I think—are meant to help each other heal in this way, in this very vibrational frequency way.” (10:43| Dr. Kelli Ritter)
• “Literally what we’re talking about on a basic, basic level: you’re either working with a frequency of fear, or you’re working on a frequency of love. So, my view now—which I was not taught—is that anxiety is just a fear frequency and sometimes it can get stuck there.” (14:09 | Dr. Kelli Ritter)
