What if your body isn’t just a collection of organs, but a living, self-organizing field of light, water, and energy? In this episode of the Terrain Theory Podcast, Ben and Mike sit down with Nikko Kennedy, Director of Research at the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, to explore the frontier where circadian health meets quantum biology.
Nikko explains how quantum physics underlies the biological processes of life, from the way mitochondria generate energy to how our cells structure water. She reveals why the body doesn’t actually produce “waste,” how light and darkness regulate healing, and why technology must evolve to harmonize with our natural frequencies. The conversation travels from circadian disruption and mitochondrial optimization to birth physiology, environmental design, and consciousness, all viewed through the lens of applied quantum biology.
Listeners will learn:
- Why circadian rhythm and light exposure shape everything from sleep to hormones to mood
- How quantum effects like electron tunneling occur inside our mitochondria
- What a “minimum effective dose” of darkness really means for mental and physical health
- The surprising connection between mitochondrial density and personality
- Why red light, grounding, and structured water matter more than you think
From dark retreats to sunlight therapy, maternal health to quantum coherence, this wide-ranging discussion invites you to reimagine what it means to tend to your terrain at the most fundamental level of reality.
