Circadian regulation starts at conception and matters for life
Circadian regulation starts at conception and matters for life
New Interview on the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast
Buckle up for a high-level talk alternating deep dives into the minutia of quantum and cresting the peaks of possibility for a more circadian-friendly society.
Meredith Oke, founder of the Quantum Biology Collective and Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, and I got together to chat about the impacts of blue light on children.
It turns out, we found much more to talk about than just blue light and children (though we did touch on that as planned)! You’ll definitely want to catch this one for the actionable insights around personal health as well as community-wide implementation of circadian lighting technology. Here’s a short snippet to preview the episode:
And per the talk, here is what outdoor circadian lighting in a large community could look like (this is from a sea turtle lighting ordinance):
Plus an example of indoor circadian lighting in a 24-hour facility (healthcare, but the same concept applies to homes and other types of built-spaces):

I hope you enjoy the conversation! Let me know in the comments :)
PS I’ll be doing a live Q&A for the Quantum Biology Collective about all things circadian and quantum pregnancy, birth, postpartum and infancy! Here’s where you can sign up for free to attend this live event (you must be a QBC member to get the replay, otherwise, make sure you can attend live on September 17th, 2024 at 9:00 AM PST / 12 PM EST / 6:00 PM CET).
QBC Guest Q&A Description
Have you ever wondered about: • the real impacts of nnemfs, including ultrasound, on a baby’s development? • safe and effective sunlight protocols for babies? • how mothers can take care of their babies—around the clock—without experiencing circadian disruption? • or why so many of today’s children are experiencing catastrophic challenges at the onset of puberty? The foundation of circadian & quantum health begins in the womb. Bring all your curiousity about optimizing preconception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and reproductive development to this Q&A. I’m truly looking forward to hearing your questions about tailoring quantum health protocols for these special stages of life. As these times affect lifelong health, feel free to also bring your own story so we can unpack the ways you yourself may be able to experience greater vitality through awareness and mitigation of the early life environments to which you were exposed. You don’t have to be a parent to benefit from a better understanding of this incredible window of opportunity for quantum health!

This was a great interview, Nikko!!!!
Great talk! Really enjoyed it! What an ideal time for me too as I'm re-visiting all my fav homeschool/unschool books to get in the game for our new learning rhythm to begin and have to stop and breathe every time they talk about unlimited screen time or relaxing around late night gaming. Just soooooo much of the story these parents didn't have, and while I'm not gonna throw the baby out with bath water, it does wear me down to have to constantly have these books and podcasts try to relax parents into more lax screen habits. I do very much agree with the value of letting our children have a strong say in what their learning life looks like. That quick quip about you having no screens Nikko was exactly what I needed to hear! We do not have a set screen time schedule and remain mostly no screens as well, using them only for the every now and then experience. In a house full of boys though and the pressure for more screens once we get into winter I'm feeling that anxious feeling of having to figure it all out once again. I'll definitely be revisiting the book iMinds after I read my homeschool books to help balance the story, but I'd love to know your homeschooling relationship with screen in case I can glean any new strategies or at the very least feel the camaraderie of a similar structure! :)
