Ever feel tired even when you sleep enough?

Carrie Bennett explains how quantum biology & circadian rhythms shape your energy, metabolism, and mood & how simple light choices like morning sunlight, infrared bulbs, & reducing blue light bring real BioSynergy.

Meet our guest

As a college athlete, Carrie battled chronic joint pain, insomnia, stomach issues, adrenal fatigue & brain fog despite her background in biology, nutrition & fitness. Everything changed when she discovered quantum biology, finally uncovering the root causes of her health struggles. Now a clinician, online educator & faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective, she teaches others to heal by optimizing light, water, electrons & mitochondrial support for lasting transformation.

Thank you to our partners Key takeaways
  • Get outside for at least 3 minutes each morning to set your body’s clock & support optimal rhythm regardless of weather
  • Artificial light lacks the complete spectrum & natural changes of sunlight, shifting health, hormones, & energy
  • Block blue light from screens & bulbs at night to support restful sleep & proper hormone production
  • LED & fluorescent flicker triggers anxiety & nervous system issues while natural or incandescent light supports calmer biology
  • Outdoor light stays far brighter than indoor light even on dark rainy days, helping regulate your biology
  • Avoid sunglasses during sun exposure to build natural sun tolerance & send matching light signals to your eyes & skin
  • Infrared from sunlight, fires, or red heat bulbs fuels cellular energy & repairs by charging body water
  • Morning & midday sunlight boost melatonin, nitric oxide, vitamin D, & libido, supporting brain, heart, & immune health
  • True hydration starts in the mitochondria as they produce metabolic water from fat rather than relying only on drinking water
  • Tiny daily habits like 3 minutes of light & small environmental shifts move the needle fast for energy, sleep, & focus
