From Light to Life: Are We Using Supplements Incorrectly?
Jan 09, 2026

Welcome to the Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub podcast.

Today’s episode explores a question that sits at the heart of modern nutrition, whatever happened to using supplements properly? In a world of targeted formulas, symptom-led solutions and trend-driven products, we ask whether something more fundamental has been lost along the way.

Drawing on the naturopathic principles taught by figures such as Barbara Wren and Lawrence Plaskett, we look at health not just as biochemistry, but as energy, hydration, elimination, and the body’s ability to hold and convert light into life. From true cellular balance through to i...

When Biology Meets Light: The Science of Cellular Energy
Jan 06, 2026

Welcome to today’s episode. This is a conversation that challenges how we think about health at its most fundamental level. Not just in terms of nutrients and chemistry, but in terms of energy, light, and cellular communication.

We explore the work of Professor Roeland Van Wijk, a scientist whose research into biophotons suggests that every living cell emits light, and that this light may play a role in how life organises itself. We also reflect on the decades of insight from Barbara Wren, whose writing translates these ideas into lived human experience.

Electromagnetic Nutritional Case Interpretation & Terrain-Based Naturopathy
Oct 30, 2025

 In this episode we explore a fresh approach to naturopathic practice that looks beyond symptoms to the body’s internal terrain. We’ll dive into how electromagnetic nutrition— championed by Barbara Wren and outlined in her works Cellular Awakening and Our Return to the Light — invites practitioners to include light, rhythm, minerals and cellular energy in case-taking. We’ll also contrast classic germ theory with the terrain-focused model of Antoine Béchamp, discuss frameworks such as Kramer’s “16 Stages of Cellular Change” and Hering’s Law of Cure, and share practical “foundations-first” strategies: hydration, mineral balance, digestion, elimination and natural light exposure...

Where Light Meets Life

Inspired by Barbara Wren’s teachings and her books Cellular Awakening and Our Return to the Light, we look at the concept of the body as light, and how simple daily rituals, hydration, natural foods, rest, movement, and natural light exposure,  can help support a balanced inner terrain.

We also touch on the idea of “terrain versus germ theory” in a calm, balanced way, hi...

We’re told we are what we eat, but in truth, we’re what we absorb.

In this episode, we explore the real cost of supplements and why the most expensive one isn’t always the £60 bottle on the shelf, it might be the £20 one that doesn’t work. From misleading marketing and non-compliant imports to the hidden science of bioavailability, we uncover what really separates a quality product from a costly placebo.

The Fat We Forgot” – Exploring How Fats and Light Shape Energy, Health, and Longevity
Oct 17, 2025

The latest episode from the Electromagnetic Nutrition Hub Podcast dives deep into the hidden relationship between the fats we eat, the light we live under, and how both influence our cellular energy and overall wellbeing.

The discussion begins by challenging decades of dietary dogma that painted all fats as harmful. Instead, the episode highlights how modern seed oils, especially those high in linoleic acid (LA)—have dramatically changed the body’s natural fat balance.

Are blood tests as definitive as people assume?
Jul 02, 2021

Blood tests were originally envisaged as a way of helping to diagnose diseases. Since their inception, the number of ailments tested for has risen dramatically, along with the volume of ‘routine’ tests we’re exposed to.


The latter are typically carried out when there is nothing actually wrong with the patient. While these may be slightly unpleasant, they’re viewed as a necessary evil because they’re only minimally invasive and can yield supposedly valuable information about our health.

A phrase that’s often used to justify these blood tests is ‘better safe than sorry. However...

As individuals, we are all exposed to a variety of substances on a daily basis, from the foods we eat to the household and hygienic products we use to environmental agents. This constant exposure can cause the bloodstream to become overloaded with allergens, inflammatory agents (e.g., bacteria, fungi, antigens), undigested food, and even fibrin, which is a blood clot-forming protein. The buildup of these types of substances can put a strain on the immune system and subsequently lead to the increased production of pro-inflammatory proteins that can worsen pain or discomfort, making it harder to recover and cause...

The importance of the liver for overall health

The liver is the second largest organ (after the skin) of the human body and probably has the most diverse metabolic activity. It is part of the digestive system and performs many vital functions.  Many of these processes happen on membranes, either the plasma membrane or internal membranes of organelles, which are thought to add up to 33,000 square meters of the surface area [Kidd, 1996].  This is one probable reason why supporting healthy membranes through phospholipids may have such a protective effect on the liver.
