    104. How Artificial Light May Be Affecting Pregnancy & Labour | Nikko Kennedy

    Birth, pregnancy and fertility are profoundly circadian processes — yet almost nobody talks about the role of light in maternal and infant health. In this episode, I speak with Nikko Kennedy about melatonin, sunlight, vitamin D, labour physiology, EMF exposure and how modern environments may be disrupting pregnancy and birth. A fascinating discussion on circadian biology, photobiology and reproductive health.  TIMESTAMPS 02:00 Circadian rhythms and fetal development 05:30 Melatonin and implantation 10:00 Morning sickness and oxidative stress 15:00 Artificial light at night and fertility 18:00 Vitamin D and epigenetic programming 22:00 Infrared light and fetal development 27:00 Sunlight exposure in infants 31:00 Pregnancy complications and circadian disruption 40:00 EMF exposure during pregnancy 46:00 Labour physiology and melatonin 58:00 Oxytocin, labour trance and hospital lighting 01:10:00 Postpartum circadian entrainment 01:16:00 Practical recommendations for families Nikko Kennedy is the Director of Research at the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology.  Nikko has over two decades studying birth, 15 years as a doula, and ten years as a technical consultant, she helps families, practitioners and organizations integrate the emerging field of quantum biology.

    101. How Starlight Powers Living Systems | Prof. Robert Fosbury

    Astrophysicist Robert Fosbury joins Dr Max Gulhane to explore an extraordinary idea: that the dominant photon energy of our Sun closely matches the metabolic activation energy that powers life on Earth. We discuss: • How stars generate order by exporting entropy as light • Why living systems mirror stellar thermodynamics • The 0.66 electron volt “control barrier” shared across biology • The 10²¹ scaling relationship between solar photons and electron transport chains • How near-infrared light influences mitochondrial function • Why indoor environments are metabolically different from natural light environments • The quantum biology of water, tunneling, and photometabolism Robert Fosbury is an honorary professor at University College London and Emeritus Astronomer at the European Southern Observatory. He has applied his astrophysics background to matters of light & biology interaction with fascinating insights and perspectives.

    100. Mitochondria, Origins of Life and the Physics of Aging | Prof. Alistair Nunn

    Modern humans are living in an environment radically different from the one our biology evolved to operate within. In this conversation, we explore how light, mitochondria, evolution, and physics shape aging, disease, mental health, and longevity. This episode reframes health not as a matter of isolated interventions, but as the consequence of whether we remain inside—or drift outside—the human biological envelope. Dr Alistair Nunn is the Director of Science of The Guy Foundation Family Trust and Visiting Professor in Theoretical Quantum Biology & Bioenergetics Research Centre for Optimal Health at the University of Westminster, London, UK.  SUPPORT MY WORK 🚨 DAYLIGHT COMPUTER.
