Rethinking Evolution  Our brand does not treat the body as a passive chemistry set. We treat it as an adaptive field. That distinction matters. The classic Darwinian frame explains selection pressures and variation, but it is incomplete for a living system that continuously organizes information, stores memory in structure, and exhibits coherence across scales. The point is not to win a debate about origins. The point is to build products and protocols that respect how living systems actually behave in the wild—nonlinear, feedback-driven, and exquisitely sensitive to signal quality. From random change to guided adaptation Microevolution is observable; populations drift,...

Red & Infrared Light, Mitochondria, and Aging Professor Glen Jeffery’s work centers on how specific long wavelengths of light, especially deep red around 670 nm, interact with mitochondria and show measurable effects in aging tissues. The thread is straightforward: mitochondria are light-sensitive; aging degrades mitochondrial efficiency; precise long-wavelength exposure can acutely improve function in contexts where mitochondria are energy-limited. Mitochondria, light absorption, and why wavelength matters Mitochondria produce ATP through the respiratory chain. A key chromophore in this chain, cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV), has absorption bands in the red and near-infrared range, which is the mechanistic basis for photobiomodulation effects on membrane...

  Quantum Biology Life, Light, and Quantum Leaps in Medicine: A Journey Through Deep Time and Deeper Biology Updated September 28, 2025 • PureClean Performance Listen to the podcast here. Life’s story began 3.8 billion years ago on a very different Earth. For billions of years, Archaea and Bacteria thrived in a reducing atmosphere. Then the sun, our midlife G-class star, intensified its UV output by about 10%. This surge drove the Great Oxygenation Event and later the Cambrian Explosion, leading to diverse, complex life forms. Among the most transformative innovations was the rise of mitochondria (see the MLP Formulary)—once...
