After being \u201caggressively sun avoidant\u201d for most of her life, she began \u201can intentional sun practice,\u201d and her symptoms were quickly alleviated, sending her down a quantum biology and circadian health rabbit hole. Now, she\u2019s on a mission to help people understand the connection between circadian disruption and chronic disease, and particularly to help address the overrepresentation of obesity and diabetes in the Southeast region of the U.S. where she holds her practice. \n \nToo often, Dr. Kelsey says, people identify too deeply with their diagnoses and diseases, which has repercussions even at the biological level. She expresses support for her fellow physicians who would otherwise embrace preventative medicine more fully but are tied to a traditional system which works against them. \n \nJoin today\u2019s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to learn how Dr. Kelsey is joining the charge toward a new medical paradigm.\n \nQuotes\n\n\u201cMy mission now is to teach people about light. That\u2019s what I\u2019m most passionate about and I want everyone who is faced with any kind of chronic disease to know that they have power over this, and when you change your environment, when you change the inputs, the body has a pretty miraculous way of coming back into balance.\u201d (13:19 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter)\n\u201cI just hope everybody can hear that message that we are supposed to be in connection with the earth for optimal health, and before you consider taking medicine to modulate your immune function or taking medicine to lower your blood sugar, or whatever, if you have the capacity to connect to the outside world\u2026you can just improve so much more quickly, overall.\u201d (13:53 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter)\n\u201cIt\u2019s so important, no matter what training you have, how many degrees you have, to stay open-minded and to stay curious and to be willing to try things because sometimes sticking to our dogma can really hurt us.\u201d (16:01 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter)\n\u201cIf you over-identify with your illness, your illness will consume you.\u201d (51:00 | Dr. Kelsey Dexter)\n\n \nLinks\nConnect with Kelsey Dexter:\nWebsite: www.kelseydextermd.com (under construction)\nhttps://l.bttr.to/pvSh5 (new patient booking link)\nhttps://www.skool.com/circadian-health-revival-2974 (Skool group)\nInstagram: @kelseydextermd\n \nBon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off\nhttps://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses\n**If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense**\n \nTo receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day and join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb\nTo find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org\nTo see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com\nFollow on Instagram and Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve\nTwitter: @quantumhealthtv\n\nPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cbb5c396-df69-4044-8509-23c48d866507/RAC-Podcast-1.jpg"}
