"Can quantum biology and light therapy revolutionize brain health?" In this episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, Meredith Oak sits down with Dr. Gregory Steencken, a seasoned MD specializing in emergency and sports medicine. Dr. Steencken shares his transformative journey from traditional medicine to the innovative world of quantum biology.Highlighting the curative role of nature and natural light, particularly red and infrared light, Dr. Steencken delves into how these elements can restructure cerebral spinal fluid and stimulate brain recovery. He champions the exposure to natural light, especially in the red spectrum, to improve brain function. The conversation also covers the crucial role of sleep in brain health. Dr. Steencken points out the detrimental effects of blue light from screens on sleep quality and advocates for reduced screen time, especially before bed. He suggests outdoor activities, like walking, as dual tools for physical health and natural light exposure.Acknowledging the nascent stage of quantum biology, Dr. Steencken remains optimistic about its promise for brain health and concussion recovery. He stands behind a holistic healing approach, emphasizing the body's innate ability to heal and maintain equilibrium.Quotes:“Something I always sort of go back to is like, all this stuff is still theory, all this stuff is just, you know, our best guess of what's actually going on based on the information we have, but we won't really know until we can do the fantastic voyage thing and shrink ourselves down to the size of being able to see atoms and neutrons and quarks and ups and downs. Until then, the view we have of things is really sort of manufactured, right? Talking about looking at the thing microscopically. So, you know, it has its merits, but you still have to understand it's limitations. It's not, we're not really seeing, you know, what's happening in nature, you know, down at the cellular level or the molecular level.” (10:26 | Gregory Steencken, MD) “We're animals. We're meant to be outside in the environment. When we surround ourselves with more and more unnatural things, we're just disconnecting ourselves from that. Our quarks and our electrons and our protons and our neutrons, they know something.” (19:10 | Gregory Steencken, MD)“I usually encourage people to actually try to get walking and this is sort of a secret method of getting them into light therapy too. So go walking outside, right? And so light activity, light exercise, walk, don't run, let your symptoms be your guide as far as like if you're starting to start power walking and then you start getting a headache, okay, well, you gotta back off.” (36:16 | Gregory Steencken, MD)LinksConnect with Gregory Steencken:Interested in working with Dr. Steencken?
