Yet, it\u2019s the sharp increase of incidents of musculoskeletal issues in increasingly younger populations that he is dedicated to understanding, and he shares his findings with host Meredith Oke on today\u2019s episode of the Quantum Biology Collective podcast. More and more kids are, in an effort to make themselves look more viable to college admissions\u2019 officers, enrolled in often multiple sports all year-round thus burning out their bodies, in addition being bombarded with blue light, non-native EMFs, lack of circadian lighting and increasingly poor-quality food. \n \nThroughout the discussion, Dr. Novack explains how inflammation is formed in, and ultimately affects, the body and contributes to chronic illness. He warns of the doctors\u2019 incentives and motivations, and the limitations of their advice when they perpetuate the outdated paradigm that human beings are merely mechanical beings. He emphasizes the power of the mind to heal the body and the importance of doing our own research and self-advocacy.\n \nJoin us to learn how pharmaceutical companies use the power of the placebo effect against consumers and how we can begin to give our bodies the right inputs in order to receive their best output. \n \nQuotes:\n\u201cI genuinely don\u2019t believe that the natural state of humanity is to hurt just because we\u2019re getting older\u2026that is highly unsatisfying and, I don\u2019t think, fair or correct, because that\u2019s not what we\u2019re meant to do.\u201d (6:49 | Dr. Eric Novack) \n\u201cThe optimal state involves getting information from the sun, reproducing it inside and also our own electrical signals. So, when that goes out of balance, that eventually\u2014sometimes fast, or sometimes slower\u2014creates chaos, and that chaos is what is called inflammation. That\u2019s the easy way to think of it. And the primary\u2014not the only\u2014but the primary conductor that connects all of these signals and what happens in the body is what happens in our mitochondria. So mitochondrial chaos is the result of inflammation.\u201d (19:30 | Dr. Eric Novack)\n\u201cSo, Number 1 [teenagers] are not getting their morning sun, or sun throughout the day... Then they\u2019re getting basically a poison, to a certain degree, of these non-native EMFs from their Bluetooth headphones and their Wifi routers and their iPad up against their face, and all these other devices that they have up against their body that are also impairing, essentially, energy maintenance, homeostasis and production.\u201d (33:37 | Dr. Eric Novack) \n\u201cDiet contributes as well. The truth is that, I do think that the crap food that we ate, that I ate, 45-50 years ago, is actually not as bad as the crap food people are eating today. The food is worse and the environment we\u2019re eating it in is worse, and we\u2019re getting less sunlight.\u201d (37:43 | Dr. Eric Novack and Meredith Oke)\n \nLinks\nConnect with Dr Eric Novack:\nwww.orthoarizona.org/physicians/eric-novack/\nTwitter / X: @eric_novack\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.appliedquantumbiology.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 \n \nPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/e09aad95-7168-4061-a25c-32b3ed43f989/QBC-Cover-Art-2025-Aug-07-v1.jpg"}
