And they do it because it feels good and it feels right.""There are insights that you can only get when your mind is sufficiently trained in a breadth of areas."Cameron Borg is a science communicator and host of the Ricci Flow podcast — and one of the clearest translators working at the intersection of quantum biology and real-world health. In this conversation, we go deep: from the philosophical foundations of why all biology is quantum biology, to the specific mechanism by which near-infrared light powers your mitochondria, to the impossible-to-prove-but-impossible-to-ignore question of non-native EMFs. And then Cameron lands it all in the most practical place possible. Stop overthinking it. Go outside.Cameron Borg is the host of the Ricci Flow podcast, where he interviews scientists, researchers, and practitioners at the frontier of biology, physics, and human health. Known for his ability to translate complex science into clear, grounded thinking, Cameron has spoken with some of the leading figures in quantum biology, circadian medicine, and bioenergetics. He is based in Sweden and writes on Substack.What You'll LearnWhy calling it "quantum biology" implies there's a non-quantum biology — and why that framing is the field's biggest problemHow near-infrared light does a "random walk" through your body, donating vibrational energy to the electron transport chain along the wayWhy your body evolved to be transparent in the exact wavelength range where most solar photons land — and what that means for metabolismThe Prigogine story: how a classically trained pianist won the Nobel Prize by asking a question physicists weren't askingWhy non-native EMFs are a hyper-novel exposure — not just more of what we've always had, but something our entire evolutionary line has never encounteredWhy trying to understand this scientifically often makes people do it worse — and what to do insteadCameron's actual daily approach: surprisingly lax, and entirely grounded in evolutionary logicKey Concepts GlossaryNear-infrared light (NIR): Wavelengths (~700–1400nm) that fall in a tissue and water transparency window, allowing penetration deep into the body rather than being absorbed at the surface.Electron transport chain (ETC): A series of mitochondrial protein complexes that transfer electrons to produce ATP. NIR photons appear to lower the activation energy thresholds between steps.Principle of superposition: When two electromagnetic fields occupy the same space, they combine into a new, different field. External non-native EMFs superimpose on the body's own endogenous field, altering it.Negentropy: The capacity of living systems to maintain or increase order, apparently opposing the second law of thermodynamics.Hyper-novel exposure: An environmental stimulus not just quantitatively different from ancestral norms, but categorically new — something our entire evolutionary lineage has never encountered.Resources MentionedRicci Flow Podcast — Cameron BorgCameron Borg's SubstackQuantum Evolution — John Joe McFadden (2001)What is Life? — Erwin Schrödinger (foreword Roger Penrose, 1991)The Origins of Life — Eric Smith & Harold MorowitzCells, Gels and the Engines of Life — Gerald PollackHow the Hippies Saved Physics — David Kaiser (mentioned by Meredith)IAQB Call to ActionIf this episode resonated — if you found yourself thinking "this makes sense, but I want to know how to actually apply it" — the IAQB certification program is where practitioners go to do exactly that.
