Entangled Health is a long-form interview podcast at the frontier of quantum computing, consciousness research and the future of medicine – for people who find the uncertainty more interesting than the answers. In this updated trailer, Thomas explains why he created the show, how each conversation starts with one real question, and why a quantum computer now picks one listener question at random in every episode.

Does standard chemistry miss the true nature of life?

Dr. Keeper Sharkey joins Entangled Health to explore where hard quantum chemistry meets lived consciousness. Keeper is a quantum chemist and founder of ODE, L3C, a social enterprise using quantum algorithms and high-accuracy molecular simulations to tackle real-world problems, from materials science to cybersecurity.

In this episode, we challenge a 100-year-old scientific dogma: the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, which treats atomic nuclei as simple classical objects. Keeper reveals how treating nuclei as truly quantum entities changes our understanding of biology, drug discovery, and even the nature of the self.
We discuss:

• The Isotope Effect: Why only one specific isotope of lithium works as an antidepressant—and what that means for mental health at the atomic level.
• Quantum Biology in Action: How the potassium pump in your muscles relies on precise mass and spin effects.
• The Physics of Being: Can a perfectly uniform universe (like the early cosmos) be self-aware? Or does consciousness require difference and boundary?
• Beyond the Approximation: Why “confused electrons” in standard models might be missing the full picture of life.
• ODE for Social Good: Using quantum computing to solve human problems, not just abstract equations.

This conversation weaves between equations and experience. From calculating electron density to asking whether we are material systems having thoughts, or thoughts shaping material.

Identity is electromagnetic. Dr. Neil Theise – liver pathologist, complexity theorist, Zen practitioner, and author of Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being – explains how hearts entrain to each other's fields, how couples synchronize bioelectromagnetically, and why losing social recognition can trigger an existential crisis. From his recent expat move to Lisbon to the discovery of the interstitium as a body-wide organ system, Neil reveals the physics and complexity theory underlying selfhood and connection.​

We explore Zen meditation's role in scientific insight, why Gödel showed that some truths can only be known through intuition, shamanic initiation as a way of "learning to trust what you know," and how Neil's highly anxious mother transformed in her final years into someone living fully in the now. We also touch on end‑of‑life dreams and visions – the “visitations” with deceased loved ones that around 90% of hospice patients report – and what they might mean for consciousness at the edge of death.​

In this episode, clinical psychologist and biofield researcher Dr. Shamini Jain reveals how cutting-edge science is validating what healers have known for millennia: consciousness, intention, and sound directly shape our biology. From Woo to True. 

What is a biofield?

A field of energy and information surrounding living system, measurable through heart-brain synchronization, heart-rate variability (HRV), and physiological coherence. But biofield science isn't mystical; it's the intersection of quantum biology, neuroscience, and consciousness studies.

The conversation covers:

 Coherence as measurable phenomenon

• ​Psychological coherence: internal cohesion with your emotions, relationships, and values
• ​Physiological coherence: synchronized heart rhythms between people, even at a distance (hyperscanning research)
• ​Heart-brain coherence: the measurable connection between cardiac and neural oscillations
• ​Why HeartMath's research on coherence is gaining mainstream acceptance

​ Healing mechanisms: From placebo to salutogenesis

• ​How intention, ritual, expectation, and conditioning activate the body's self-healing capacity
• ​Salutogenesis: the process of healing (vs. pathogenesis, the process of disease)
• ​Why energy healers say "I'm not doing anything—I'm a conduit"
• ​Measurable physiological shifts: cancer cells, heart-rate variability, autonomic nervous system tone

​ The science of distant healing

• ​Research on intention effects at a distance
• ​Dean Radin's random event generator studies during meditation
• ​Shamanic healing traditions and their physiological validation
• ​Why biofield science challenges reductionist medicine

​ Sound as medicine

• ​How chanting, mantras, and singing shift nervous system state
• ​The four levels of sound (Vedic understanding):

◦Vaikhari (spoken word)

◦Madhyama (mental speech)

◦Pashyanti (light, intuitive knowing)

◦Para (transcendent, soundless vibration)

• ​Physiological effects: oxytocin, endogenous opioids, vagal tone activation
• ​Shamini's album KaliYuga Blues and ecstatic singing at Iron Maiden tributes

Why this changes medicine

• ​Moving from "woo to true": the mission to validate ancient healing practices through modern science
• ​Consciousness and healing initiatives: measuring what was previously unmeasurable
• ​The implications for individualized, intention-based medicine
• ​How recognizing our deep interconnection—with each other and the earth—revolutionizes biology

Dr. Shamini Jain's mission is to build a science of healing that honors both rigorous measurement and the wisdom of ancient traditions. Her work bridges quantum biology, heart-brain research, and contemplative practice—proving that consciousness is not separate from matter, but fundamental to healing.

Why listen? If healing is measurable, if intention matters, if your consciousness shapes your body—then everything changes about how we approach medicine, therapy, and human potential.

Is consciousness just a "side effect" of the brain, or is it fundamental to reality? And does our survival depend on raising it before AGI takes over? The video is visible on Spotify and Youtube Click here to watch a video of this episode.

In this episode of Entangled Health, we sit down with Paul Werbos, the inventor of backpropagation (the core algorithm powering modern AI and Deep Learning) and a pioneer in consciousness research.

Paul reveals a stark choice facing humanity: We can merge unconsciously with machines (what he calls "The Borg" and transhumanism), or we can awaken to our true potential as a conscious species. He explains why the "Noosphere"—the collective mind of Earth—is a living, intelligent system, and why humanity is currently in a dangerous "adolescent" phase.

In this episode, we cover:

• (07:19) Paul’s personal awakening & why consciousness is scientifically real
• (13:53) The AGI Warning: Why we have a 5-year window before major conflict
• (15:03) The IBM plan to "control the planet" that Paul refused to lead
• (18:21) Neuralink & Transhumanism: Why Paul calls it "The Borg"
• (24:51) The Noosphere as a solar-system-wide intelligence
• (26:57) Why raising consciousness is the only survival strategy against AI risks
• (28:17) How Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring opened Paul’s "third eye"

This is a BEST OF EDITION - with focussed dive into the intersection of quantum physics, spirituality, artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the future of human evolution.
