Ep 131#131 Dr. Catherine Clinton- Quantum biology for better health

Dr. Catherine explores the profound impact of quantum biology, light, water, and electromagnetic fields on health. Discover practical tips for optimizing your environment and understanding the body's energetic nature to enhance well-being. Dr. Catherine Clinton is a licensed naturopathic physician, educator, and author who has spent more than 18 years helping people understand health through a deeper, systems-based lens. She earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National University of Natural Medicine. While in medical school, Dr. Clinton was diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease. This personal health crisis became a turning point, initiating a long and rigorous healing journey that challenged conventional models and ultimately reshaped her understanding of biology, health, and resilience. Through this process, she came to recognize the importance of the body’s relationship with light, water, energy, and environment, relationships shaped over millennia and largely absent from modern healthcare. Dr. Clinton is the Founder and Chair of the Quantum Biology Health Institute, an educational organization dedicated to advancing understanding of health through the emerging science of quantum biology. The Institute is actively pursuing research into a quantum biology approach to health. Through the Institute, she develops and teaches educational programs for physicians, healthcare practitioners, and health-engaged individuals worldwide, offering a framework that complements existing medical training while expanding how health and healing are understood. She has authored multiple articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and remains actively engaged in research-informed education. Dr. Clinton maintains a small clinical practice in Eugene, Oregon, and is a sought-after international speaker, presenting on quantum biology, terrain-based health, and psychoneuroimmunology across global stages. Her mission is to empower individuals and practitioners alike with a new perspective on health, one that honors the intelligence of the body, the influence of the environment, and the emerging science that connects biology, physics, and lived experience.

Ep 130#130 Dr. Ed Caddye - The Future of Medicine. A decentralized approach to health

Medical Doctor trained in Health Optimization Medicine. Clinical Research Fellow in Imaging with a focus on Metabolic Psychiatry. Movement Specialist developing Movement-Assisted Therapy for Physical & Mental Suffering. Dr. Caddye helps driven professionals and athletes rebuild confidence in their bodies after pain or injury. His background spans Biochemistry, Medicine, Psychiatry, Neuroscience and Movement — and over time he’s come to see that the most effective solutions for pain aren’t always found within the walls of conventional practice. Alongside his medical work, he's been exploring a more decentralized, systems-based approach to health — one that integrates physical capacity, mindset, and environment. He was the first UK doctor trained in Health Optimization Medicine by its founder, Dr. Ted Achacoso, and he continues to teach movement principles through Moved Academy, an education platform led by his mentor, Richard Aceves. In practice, that means helping people who’ve been through every scan, stretch, and specialist — yet still can’t return to the activities that make them feel like themselves. Through a structured assessment and long-term coaching process, he helps them rebuild resilience, understand their bodies, and get back to the things that matter most. His goal is simple: to reduce suffering through clarity, movement, and education — bridging the gap between medicine, fitness coaching, and the human experience. summary Dr. Ed Caddye shares his multidisciplinary approach to health, emphasizing movement, metabolism, mental health, and innovative therapies like breathwork and light exposure. Discover how integrating science and holistic practices can transform well-being. Music for episode Renick Turley SedonaFilm | Musician . Cinematographer.

Ep 125#125 Daniel Root - Sauna for Ultimate Detoxification and Firefighter protocol

Daniel L. Root is a pioneering figure in detoxification science and co-developer of the Detoxination® protocol, an advanced approach to reducing the body’s toxic burden through niacin, exercise, and sauna therapy. He is the son of Dr. David E. Root, MD, MPH, a globally recognized authority on human detoxification of heavy metals, synthetic chemicals, and radiation. Together, they authored Sauna Detoxification Using Niacin: Following the Recommended Protocol of Dr. David E. Root, which has become a seminal work in the field. The Niacin Flush Sauna Detox—often called the Firefighter Method—is a gentle, “Level 1” on-ramp to Detoxination®. It uses immediate-release niacin to open up the skin’s circulation (the classic warm flush from vasodilation), then leverages sauna heat to sweat out circulating toxicants—an approachable way to begin clearing the system before a deeper detox.

Ep 119#119 Matthew David Segall - Philosophy, Cosmology and Science

Matthew David Segall, PhD, is a transdisciplinary philosopher and Associate Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. His work bridges process-relational metaphysics with contemporary science and spirituality, drawing inspiration from thinkers such as Whitehead, Schelling, Goethe, and Rudolf Steiner. Segall’s scholarship challenges dualistic and mechanistic paradigms and invites a renewed integration between the natural sciences and humanities. Segall is the author of Crossing the Threshold: Etheric Imagination in the Post-Kantian Process Philosophy of Schelling and Whitehead (2023), a philosophical exploration that seeks to bridge the epistemological divide introduced by Immanuel Kant by cultivating a participatory mode of knowing rooted in aesthetic experience. In Physics of the World-Soul: Alfred North Whitehead’s Adventure in Cosmology (2021), he situates Whitehead’s philosophy of organism within the context of contemporary scientific cosmology, engaging with relativity, quantum, evolutionary, and complexity theories to advocate for an ensouled interpretation of the universe. Matt Segall discusses his journey through philosophy, consciousness, and the intersection of science and spirituality. He explores the ideas of Alfred Whitehead, pan-experientialism, and the fragmentation of modern thought. The dialogue delves into the role of psychedelics, the nature of God, and the importance of reconnecting with nature and our own inner experiences. Segall emphasizes the significance of suffering in personal growth and the need for a coherent narrative in today's society. He concludes with reflections on love and connection as fundamental to human existence.

Ep 118#118 Professor Daniel McShea - Exploring the Nature of Consciousness & Field Theory

Professor Daniel McShea discusses his journey from paleobiology to philosophy, focusing on the nature of consciousness, goal-directedness, and the interplay between biology and philosophy. He introduces his theory of goal-directed systems, emphasizing the role of fields in guiding behavior across various organisms, including humans. The discussion explores the implications of this theory for understanding human desires, decision-making, and the influence of culture and language on cognition. McShea also addresses critiques of his ideas and shares insights on the importance of recognizing the continuity of life and the interconnectedness of all beings. He concludes with reflections on the nature of consciousness and the significance of acknowledging our passions in decision-making. Professor Daniel McShea’s interest is hierarchy theory, especially the causal relationship between higher-level wholes and their components (Spencer, Simon, Campbell, Salthe, Wimsatt). In biology, for example, we might want to know how large-scale processes within a multicellular organism act to control the smaller-scale processes within its component cells. Or, in the area of his current research, how do the emotions in mammals (and perhaps other animals) act to initiate and control conscious thought and behavior? It seems clear from the philosophical work of Hume (A Treatise of Human Nature) that the preferencing or valuing that motivates or drives conscious thought and behavior, and in particular conscious decision-making, must arise from the emotions. This is true because the only alternative, reason (in the sense of pure rationality), is value-neutral, and utterly incapable of motivating anything. As Hume put it, "Reason is and ought to be the slave of the passions and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Consciousness and Evolution 03:19 The Nature of Goal-Directedness 06:02 Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Consciousness 08:59 Field Theory and Biological Systems 12:02 Human Intentionality and Decision Making 15:14 The Role of Culture and Language in Shaping Consciousness 18:06 Imagination and Collective Consciousness 32:01 Exploring the Mystical and Scientific Boundaries 34:00 Morphic Resonance: A Critical Examination 36:02 The Nature of Imagination and Creativity 38:02 Understanding Consciousness and Goal-Directedness 40:00 The Continuity of Life and Consciousness 43:54 Resistance and the Forces of Nature 46:07 The Role of Wants in Decision Making 48:59 Unplugging from External Influences 51:57 Advice for Critics and Learners 55:58 Final Thoughts on Change and Growth Music for episode Renick Turley SedonaFilm | Musician .

Ep 116#116 Edward Large-Neural Resonance Theory and the Neuroscience of Music & Rhythm.

Dr. Large’s research areas include nonlinear dynamical systems, auditory neuroscience, and music psychology. He uses theoretical modeling in conjunction with behavioral, comparative, neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques to understand how people respond to complex, temporally structured sequences of sound such as music and speech. He and his colleagues have pioneered the idea that attention is a dynamic, and inherently rhythmic process. He has applied these ideas to explain the rhythmic structure of music, and its interaction with brain dynamics. His current research projects include studies of driven nonlinear oscillator networks, nonlinear cochlear models, auditory brainstem neurodynamics, cortical dynamics of attention, perception of rhythm in music and speech, perception of tonality in music, auditory pattern recognition and learning, emotional communication in music, and rhythmic interactions in nonhuman primates. More Information Dr. Large directs the Music Dynamics Laboratory at University of Connecticut, where he is a Professor of Psychological Sciences and Professor of Physics. He is Associate Editor at Frontiers in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience and Music Perception and he recently completed a three year term as President of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition.

Ep 105#105 Mark Solms - Exploring the Depths of Consciousness

For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches.

Researching articles, films, and her 38 books for adults and children, nationally bestselling author Sy Montgomery has been chased by an angry silverback gorilla in Rwanda, hunted by a tiger in India, and swum with piranhas, electric eels and pink dolphins in the Amazon. Her work has taken her from the cloud forest of Papua New Guinea (for a book on tree kangaroos) to the Altai Mountains of the Gobi (for another on snow leopards.) For THE SOUL OF AN OCTOPUS (a National Book Award finalist) she befriended octopuses at the New England aquarium and scuba dived and snorkeled with wild octopuses in Mexico and French Polynesia; next she drew on her scuba skills to cage dive with great white sharksand swim freely with giant oceanic manta rays . For her most recent national bestseller for adults, Of Time and Turtles, she befriended a 42-pound wild snapping turtle named Fire Chief, who shows his extraordinary trust by allowing her to feed him by hand.
