“I genuinely don’t believe that the natural state of humanity is to hurt just because we are getting older,” says today’s guest Dr. Eric Novack, orthopedic surgeon. Yet, it’s the sharp increase of incidents of musculoskeletal issues in increasingly younger populations that he is dedicated to understanding, and he shares his findings with host Meredith Oke on today’s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast. More and more kids are, in an effort to make themselves look more viable to college admissions’ officers, enrolled in often multiple sports all year-round thus burning out their bodies, in addition being bombarded with blue light, non-native EMFs, lack of circadian lighting and increasingly poor-quality food. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Novack explains how inflammation is formed in, and ultimately affects, the body and contributes to chronic illness. He warns of the doctors’ incentives and motivations, and the limitations of their advice when they perpetuate the outdated paradigm that human beings are merely mechanical beings. He emphasizes the power of the mind to heal the body and the importance of doing our own research and self-advocacy.Join us to learn how pharmaceutical companies use the power of the placebo effect against consumers and how we can begin to give our bodies the right inputs in order to receive their best output. Quotes:“I genuinely don’t believe that the natural state of humanity is to hurt just because we’re getting older…that is highly unsatisfying and, I don’t think, fair or correct, because that’s not what we’re meant to do.” (6:49 | Dr. Eric Novack) “The optimal state involves getting information from the sun, reproducing it inside and also our own electrical signals. So, when that goes out of balance, that eventually—sometimes fast, or sometimes slower—creates chaos, and that chaos is what is called inflammation. That’s the easy way to think of it. And the primary—not the only—but the primary conductor that connects all of these signals and what happens in the body is what happens in our mitochondria. So mitochondrial chaos is the result of inflammation.” (19:30 | Dr. Eric Novack)“So, Number 1 [teenagers] are not getting their morning sun, or sun throughout the day... Then they’re getting basically a poison, to a certain degree, of these non-native EMFs from their Bluetooth headphones and their Wifi routers and their iPad up against their face, and all these other devices that they have up against their body that are also impairing, essentially, energy maintenance, homeostasis and production.” (33:37 | Dr. Eric Novack) “Diet contributes as well. The truth is that, I do think that the crap food that we ate, that I ate, 45-50 years ago, is actually not as bad as the crap food people are eating today. The food is worse and the environment we’re eating it in is worse, and we’re getting less sunlight.” (37:43 | Dr. Eric Novack and Meredith Oke)LinksConnect with Dr Eric Novack: www.orthoarizona.org/physicians/eric-novack/Twitter / X: @eric_novackThere's more to QBC: To receive our Podcast Guide, where we break episodes down by category & to receive updates from us, subscribe to our email list here: https://qbcpod.comYou can join the FREE QBC online community here.
