Peter Cowan is a dear friend of ours and Andeea and I were thrilled to hear when one of his X posts/tweets went viral earlier this year reaching over 22 million views!

Who is Peter Cowan?
Peter is a US software engineer, board-certified circadian biology health practitioner, an EMF Mitigating Consultant and researcher. Acting as a citizen scientist, he took unsolicited measurements and discovered biologically harmful magnetic fields near the San Francisco 49ers practice facility. He has stopped everything to explain to the world how EMF can contribute to soft tissue injuries and sparked a global conversation. Even if you are not a football fan, this episode will not disappoint! You want to hear this!
What is the Variable Contributing to these Injuries?
NFL fans had been asking the same question for years: What is happening to the SF 49ers? Unprecedented soft-tissue injuries. Non-contact tendon ruptures. Dre Greenlaw’s Achilles snapping as he jogged onto the field (not off) at the Super Bowl was a visceral example of this. It didn’t add up.
Peter did something radical. He simply measured the environment. What did he find sitting next to the 49ers’ training facility? A massive power station. And the readings? Elevated AC magnetic fields at levels no other team endures, chronic ELF exposure with direct biological consequences. The team brought in their own expert. Peter was quickly “debunked” and the case was closed. Except it wasn’t.
An Enlightening Substack
Peter has written a series of Substack essays going far deeper — mapping the cascade from electromagnetic assault to mitochondrial dysfunction, to cellular dehydration, to what he calls “the hidden pathway to collagen fragility.” This isn’t just about one team. It’s about what’s systematically weakening athletes’ connective tissue in a world saturated with non-native EMF and blue-lit environments. After reading those essays, Andeea and I knew – the full story had to be told.
What is Substack?
If you are not familiar with a Substack yet, it is an e-newsletter platform that combines the best of blogging and social media in one constantly evolving space. enabling digital creators like Peter, myself and Andeea to monetize our communities with newsletters and gated content. Many offer their content for free. You can learn so much from these.
Quantum Biology Meets Football
Peter joins us to explain with the precision of an engineer and the clarity of someone who’s connected dots as the establishment prefers to stay scattered. The biophysical science that athletes, trainers, and fans desperately need to hear this. It touches on the the link of AC Magnetic Fields and levels that equate to the threshold for Childhood Leukemia, Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels and EMF, Circadian Rhythm Disruption by Magnetic Fields and Blue light, Oxidative Stress, and more factors impacting football players’ collagen-rich tendons and ligaments.
The Biophysics behind Collagen Weakening
Peter explains the 5-step cascade — mitochondrial disruption → reduced ATP and metabolic water → cellular dehydration → MMP Activation → collagen weakening. Peter explains it so well as he has done a deep dive into the research and he references the pertinent studies in his essays.

Why should you Watch this Interview?
Because the next injury is already being programmed at the cellular level. The only question is who’s paying attention. Could your own tendon and ligaments be weakening from Circadian Rhythm Disruption, artificial light at night or AC Magnetic fields undetected in or near your home? Maybe this article will enlighten and motivate you to prevent unnecessary future injury.

How are YOU protecting yourself from artificial blue light?
Many times we cannot control our lighting environment. In these situations, blue light blocking glasses are a must! As you may know, Vivarays is sponsoring the Quantum Healthy podcast! You can use the code QUANTUMHEALTHY for 15% off your purchase. These are by far the best blue blockers on the market in my opinion and I have been an affiliate for a couple of years now.
At home we can control our lighting environment. Andeea and I both use In Rhythm’s Better Sleep Bulb. It is a flicker free, infrared-enriched triple mode, and dirty electricity free bulb! This is the first light bulb of its kind and the healthiest! You can use the code QUANTUMHEALTHY for 15% off your purchase.
