Ep 004 How Quantum Health Principles Are Changing The Way Athletes Train

“If I can use multiple variables to make someone get better, that will be much more sustainable, and that person will be much healthier, explains Jim Laird, Strength & Conditioning Coach. In today’s episode, guest hosts Jim Laird and Dr. Leland Stillman return to discuss adjusting your circadian clock during daylight savings and how light aids with athletic performance. Through their knowledge of quantum biology, they share what it means to be a quantum athlete and healthier individual overall.

With our modern lifestyles, we are constantly indoors, negatively affecting our fitness and health. For instance, if we expose ourselves to blue light at night, our bodies believe its day time, which throws off the regeneration process of our mitochondria. Without proper sleep, we cannot optimize our physical performance and fulfill our athletic goals. To counteract this, find time to go outside and take in that natural light our bodies are meant to have.

Quantum Health is changing how athletes train. Learn more about how light boosts sports recovery, red infrared light’s melatonin-boosting effects, and the types of devices Dr. Leland recommends.

Quotes

“We've built this modern lifestyle that's taking people away from nature, and eventually, people will have to figure out some ways to work around that.” (11:42-12:38 | Jim)
“You've got to get bright, visible light during the day. And you've got to avoid blue and green light at night if you're going to have a healthy sleep for optimal performance.” (15:26-15:36 | Dr. Leland)
“When it comes to athletes, what they need to understand is their performance is strongly linked to light signals in their environment because the stronger their circadian rhythms are, and the more light they're exposed to during the day, the better they're going to perform.” (22:47-23:04 | Dr. Leland)
“If I can use multiple variables to make someone get better, that will be much more sustainable, and that person will be much healthier.” (41:40-41:47 | Jim)
“If you're not buying a lens that's dark red or orange, it's not blocking an adequate amount of blue light to protect your circadian rhythms at night.” (49:21-49:30 | Dr. Leland)
