"How could [sunlight] not be crucial? It is as necessary to us as water is to fish—more so," says Dr. Damien Downing, integrative physician, pioneer of ecological medicine, and author of Coherent Health, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to reveal how sunlight, structured water, and our electromagnetic environment fundamentally shape human biology.

Once a conventional MD dismissive of “all that stuff,” Dr. Damien Downing details his paradigm-shifting journey down the physics rabbit hole—culminating in a radical understanding: humans are not just biochemical or bioelectrical beings, but also “bioinformational” ones, with the capacity to store and transmit information via structured water and time crystals within our bodies. From exploring why full-spectrum sunlight is far more than “just” vitamin D, to explaining how modern indoor living and non-native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) short-circuit natural health, he breaks down how everything from depression to appetite to the mysteries of consciousness—like telepathy, intuition, and prayer—may finally have scientific mechanisms.

In this lively conversation, you’ll hear why Dr. Damien Downing believes mainstream medicine ignores the most essential nutrient of all, sunlight; what structured water and ‘time crystals’ mean for the future of health; how light serves as the body’s original prescription; and practical ways to reclaim your biological coherence.

Tune in to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast to discover why your health—and maybe your consciousness—depends on the quantum energy all around (and within) you.

5 Key Takeaways
  1. Sunlight is foundational to health—get outside every day, regardless of the season, and let natural light hit your eyes and skin.
  2. Ditch artificial lighting after sunset—replace toxic LED and fluorescent bulbs with biologically friendly alternatives, and minimize screen time at night.
  3. Prioritize your sleep environment—remove all sources of non-native EMFs and electronics from your bedroom to optimize deep rest and repair.
  4. Use tools like the My Circadian app—track your daily light exposure and circadian habits to start reclaiming your energetic health.
  5. Remember, full-spectrum sunlight and grounding are your best “supplements”—start simple, build habits, and witness the transformations in your energy, mood, and resilience.

Memorable Quotes
"Sunlight is as necessary to us as water is to fish. This is what we evolved in, the whole of life evolved in. A lot of the energy we use, a lot of the incoming energy that we make ATP with and do energetic things in ourselves, comes from light rather than from food."
"If it's natural, if we evolved in it for billions of years, then it's got to be good. And if it's non-natural, then it's probably bad, or at least it's capable of being bad."
"Faith is a form of coherence. You get this stuff working together; we've all seen things where people desperately needed something, they prayed for it, and it happened. That proves that prayer works, and prayer is just another form of acting in coherence."
