This week on the Quantum Healthy podcast we have the key innovators of the CRD Challenge sharing the behind the scenes insights. Daniel White and Jeff Gibson are also both co-founders of QNTMLY Foundation – created to share science-based education and tools that can support the global community to improve health-related outcomes via the principles of circadian and quantum biology. As a grass roots health initiative, I am 100% behind this!
This interview explains not only both Daniel and Jeff’s stories which are both heart-wrenching and inspirational beyond belief, but how the CRD Challenge became a reality.

A Quick Update on Laura Kissmann Wellness……
As some of you know by being in my close circle or listening to the podcast last few episodes, I had a bike accident 15 Aug and had to have surgery 2 Sep for a broken tibial plateau = particularly challenging leg/knee break. I am proud to say my worst days are over. 9 weeks of non-weight bearing in all with 15 days to go. Sparing you the details, it’s been both a challenge and a personal journey. I could not have gotten to today without my family and friends support and it is still pouring in! My heart and soul will be forever grateful.
I have had to postpone new clients for 1:1 coaching and my group coaching community launch. It impacted the pace of website redesign completion. I have also not been able to board or daysit dogs, so it I cannot wait for physio to start mid October to also recover my business along with my knee!
I prioritized the podcast as I could do it most days outside (my favourite place for quantum recovery!) in a lawn chair (as i cannot sit at a chair yet) and truthfully it has brought me knowledge, joy and purpose.
I thank you all for listening to the episodes and for everyone who has reviewed us on Apple and Spotify or Subscribed to the You Tube channel or liked an episode – its helping us grow the podcast. If you have not yet, please do!
Ok back to the Podcast Interview
It is a must listen. I have had early positive feedback already. People are sharing it with family. I wonder if its Jeff’s journey or Daniels that hit them the most. Daniel’s story still haunts me to some degree. There is one comment he makes that I can’t get out of my head. It chills you as a parent that this could go so far in his childhood. And to see him translate that into now impacting the health of teenagers is so inspiring. And now to think he and Jeff and QNTMLY are having a global impact!! I hope that intrigues you to listen to the conversation.
Episode 17 – Daniel White & Jeff Gibson
Daniel White is a Registered Nutritionist, Functional Medicine and Circadian Certified Health Coach. He is the Founder of Sleep Better Live Better and Chairman of the Sleep Better Live Better Foundation. In 2024, Daniel also joined forces with Jeff, Avi and Lauren to form QNTMLY and The QNTMLY Foundation to provide science-based education and tools that can support the global community to improve health-related outcomes via the principles of circadian and quantum biology, beginning with the delivery of The CRD Challenge.
Jeff Gibson has worked in healthcare (IT) for the past 15+ years. He was unknowingly doing everything wrong from a circadian standpoint for the past couple decades. Each night he was on computers (full brightness) until midnight. He never got outside in the morning. He rarely spent time outside, and when he did he always wore sunglasses so never got full spectrum natural light in his eyes. Then a couple years ago whenever he started improving his circadian rhythm, his life transformed and he quickly began feeling like a new person; physically, mentally, and spiritually.
