Heart Coherence Mitochondria Research Project
Join Dr. Catherine Clinton, Dr. Christine Schaffner, and Dr. Hemal Patel
in exploratory research into heart coherence and biophoton emission, the light emission from the mitochondria.
Welcome!
We are excited and hopeful to uncover a new mechanism behind the impact of emotions and coherence. In this collaborative research study, we explore the effects of gratitude and love on the biological action of our mitochondria. We also will be doing exploratory research into heart coherence and biophoton emission, the light emission from the mitochondria. In a time fraught with fear, anxiety and discontent, we aim to bring awareness back to the power of our hearts to lead the way forward.
What is Coherence?
Coherence is when two or more things are working in the same rhythm to become a unified whole.
Physiological coherence is a scientifically measurable state characterized by increased order and harmony in our mind, emotions and body. It is the shared communication between the heart's energetic field and the energetic field of the brain.
We hope you'll join us in this exciting research study!

Heart Coherence Mitochondria Research Project
Â
According to HeartMath Institute research, different patterns of heart activity have different effects on your thoughts and behaviors. Patterns of love, awe and gratitude foster a state of heart coherence.
When the brain and heart are working in coherence it brings the body into a beneficial rhythm. Without coherence, your ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions can be negatively impacted.
Furthermore, your heart’s communication with the brain during stressful or negative emotions can also lead to even more stress.
HeartMath has created exercises that help build physiological coherence between the heart and the brain. This study will look at the effects of a simple heart coherence exercise that builds feelings of gratitude and love. We aim to show the effects of these heart coherence exercises on mitochondrial function.
Mitochondria are the organelles within most of our cells that create ATP or the energy currency of the body. The valuable energy they produce is essential to our health and thriving.
This research study will assess mitochondrial function pre and post the heart coherence exercise period with the mescreen™ blood spot test. Participants will be asked to test with the mescreen™ at home before the exercise period and immediately after. The heart coherence period consists of 45 days of daily heart coherence exercises that take under 6 minutes while wearing a Garmin health tracking device to collect heart rate variability data.Â
Join us to increase your state of heart coherence and help further valuable research on this important relationship in human health.
We'll require research study participants to:
Be a novice to Heart Coherence practice.
A novice is someone who has done a Heart Coherence exercise before but does not do them regularly or who has never done a Heart Coherence exercise.
Maintain your current exercise, diet and supplement regime so as not to skew the data.
Take a blood spot mescreen™ test that consists of a finger prick and blood spot collection on paper before beginning the daily Heart Coherence exercise period and immediately after completing the 42 day practice period.
Do a daily Heart Coherence exercise with the mobile app to collect data for 45 days.
Want to participate in this groundbreaking
Heart Coherence Mitochondria Research Study?
Participants are asked to cover the cost of the two mescreen™ mitochondrial blood spot tests. The cost of enrolling in the study is $798 and covers the cost of the pre and post mescreen™ mitochondrial blood spot test.
You will also receive the Garmin tracking device for free as well as over $300 in access to expert interviews in the Cultivating Coherence Summit and the Quantum Biology Wellness Summit.
COST: $798

Hi, I'm Dr. Catherine Clinton
Licensed Naturopathic Physician | Author | Quantum Biology Health Educator
I'm a licensed naturopathic physician, who has spent over 17 years helping people overcome their health issues. She completed her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine. Diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease while in medical school, I began the long and difficult journey of healing- a path that led to the commitment to help others to not only heal physically but to return to the relationships we evolved over millennia with for a deeper sense of health and belonging.
By healing myself and patients like me, I've discovered that true health comes from our relationships. I have learned how our quantum biological system are intimately and inseparably connected to the world around us. Our relationship with the dirt beneath our feet, the sun, the wind, the water, the plants, the seasons, each other- that is the real medicine.
My mission is to empower as many people as I can with quantum biology knowledge and help them explore how to apply quantum biology to their health.
Meet Dr. Christine Schaffner
Licensed Naturopathic Physician
Dr. Christine Schaffner is a board-certified naturopathic physician who has dedicated her career to helping patients recover from chronic, complex illnesses.
Through online summits, her Spectrum of Health podcast, Immanence Health Clinic, and digital programs and courses, Dr. Schaffner goes beyond biological medicine, pulling from all systems of medicine and healing modalities- helping patients to unlock their innate ability to heal and reveal their brightest light.
She continues to see patients and broaden her work by bridging the gaps between bioregulatory and functional medicine, as she looks ahead to building the future of medicine along with other leaders and practitioners.
Dr. Schaffner is committed to improving patient outcomes and speed of recovery for those struggling with chronic, complex illnesses, and who may still be seeking answers. Patients travel from all around the world to her Immanence Health Clinic in Seattle, where she also trains other physicians, using her EECO approach: Ecosystem & Terrain, Energy Analysis, Clearing Blocks and Interference Fields, and Optimizing Flow.
