Under the Surface

What if your body is listening to the stories you tell about your life? In this profound and heart-opening conversation, Krystal sits down with Dr. Karen Parker — best-selling author of Quantum Wellness and creator of Quantum Human Design and the Quantum Alignment System™ — to explore the intersection of narrative, biology, and energy. Together, they dive into how the stories we repeat shape our health, relationships, and even our genes, and how rewriting those stories can literally strengthen our immune system and lengthen our telomeres. In This Episode: How Karen's journey from midwifery to Quantum Human Design led her to bridge energy, science, and storytelling The Harvard IgA study that proves how our stories impact the immune system, and how rewriting them can reverse stress responses Why optimists have longer telomeres and what that means for longevity How your Human Design chart reveals your core narrative (and the resistance that keeps you stuck in old ones) Karen's Quantum Alignment System: integrating Human Design, EFT, flower essences, and narrative psychology Why Strategy + Authority are really prescriptions for reconnecting with your body The future of healthcare: integration, energetic medicine, and healing our collective story of unworthiness Favorite Quote: "When we tell better stories, we change our biology. We literally rewrite the way our cells respond to life." – Dr. Karen Curry Parker Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/KUaih5SXFFE Connect with Dr. Karen Curry Parker: 🌐 quantumhumandesign.com 📚 Quantum Wellness  📗 Quantum Human Design Evolution Guide 2026 📲 Instagram: @drkarenparker22 Connect with Krystal Woods: Instagram Embodied by Design® HD practitioner certification 🎧 Subscribe to Under the Surface wherever you listen to podcasts
