Original air date Feb 29, 2024This episode is a must for my fellow sleep-challenged listeners. Finally, a refreshing take on how to think about insomnia in a more productive way. Instead of beating yourself up and spiraling down, author Annabel Abbs-Streets shares her research on how many insomniacs throughout history have harnessed the magic that lies in the Night Self and given themselves permission to be awake.

Original air date: July 3, 2024I'm relieved to share that there are still people in the wellness biz that are more interested in the actual wellness part than sharpening their elbows against the competition. Dr. Jonathan Leary is the visionary Founder and CEO of Remedy Place, a revolutionary Social Wellness Club in New York and Los Angeles (and plans for beyond), at the intersection of design, holistic self-care, and human connection. And we wholeheartedly agree that a rising tide can lift all boats!A true trailblazer in modern wellness and self-care, Dr. Leary transitioned his clinical practice as a world-renowned Concierge Wellness Doctor into the launch of Remedy Place to create an environment for socializing that goes beyond a typical night out of overindulging in vices, and instead focuses on fostering meaningful connections and all the good feels that come with self-care.WE COVERED:How working with athletes inspired him to broaden his vision: athletes needs to perform in the game but HUMANS need to perform in life—why isn’t all of healthcare taking the approach to treating all bodies like performance machines?FUN FACT: Chiropractic requires more medical hours than medical school!

“Like a toothbrush for the brain” – meet your new bedtime routine. Yes, it's a gadget but according to Tim Rosa, the company's CEO and my guest today, Somnee Sleep passes the "mom test," meaning if his mom can make sense of it, anyone can. Co-founded by renowned sleep expert Dr. Matt Walker, PhD, Somnee is on a mission to help everyone sleep better through personalized neuroscience. Backed by 22 clinical studies, 24 patents, and a 3+ year sleep study, Somnee has pioneered the integration of sleep lab-grade technology into a comfortable wearable headband for at-home use. It’s proven to help your brain naturally fall asleep twice as fast, stay asleep over 30 minutes longer, and reduce tossing and turning by a third.Tim Rosa has over 20 years of experience in consumer and enterprise marketing, business management, and launching world-class brands, products, and services. Tim served as the CMO at Fitbit, where he was pivotal in establishing the category of connected health and fitness wearable products. Tim has advised or worked for Electronic Arts, 2K Sports, ESPN Videogames, and Jasper Health. We discuss:Sleep cannot be tracked as accurately from the wrist or the finger as from above the neck – enter: the Somnee headbandSomnee is a revolution in sleep wearables – the only device to both track AND treat your sleep, addressing both sleep latency (falling asleep) AND sleep maintenance (staying asleep), and outperforming both melatonin AND ambien in improving sleep qualityThe future of “Electric Medicine” - the goal to offer Somnee as a prescriptionPatients with PTSD, anxiety, veterans, have all reaped benefits from this technologyThe only sleep technology to ever qualify for the NBA launchpad platformIn 2011, the first study to directly study sleep’s influence on athletic basketball performance revealed that extending sleep improved sprint times (-4.3%), shooting accuracy for free throws and 3-pointers (+9%), reaction time, and self-reported physical and mental well-being.

Is removing dairy fat from our diets the culprit behind why we are now living sicker than we were in the 1990s? And what do dolphins have to do with human longevity? Fair questions.A new supplement called Fatty15 may have been on your radar recently, there's a good reason to pay attention. It’s a groundbreaking product of pure C15:0, the first essential fatty acid to be found in almost 100 years, and said to be the key nutrient for longevity. And my guest today discovered it!Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson is a veterinary epidemiologist with over 80 peer-reviewed scientific publications and 70 patents. She discovered the health benefits of C15:0 while working for the US Navy to continually improve the long-term health of Navy bottlenose dolphins. While seeking to understand why some dolphins were aging at healthier and slower rates than others, she was able to identify which molecules predicted the healthiest aging dolphins, and discovered C15:0 as a healthy saturated fatty acid, the first essential fatty acid to be found in almost 100 years and the key to human longevity, which she details in her new book, The Longevity Nutrient.We Discuss:The humanitarian role of dolphins in the US. Navy How dolphins & humans have co-evolved to share genetic similarities Grass-fed dairy has 2x as much C:15 as corn-fedNon-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease didn’t exist before 1980 and now it affects 1 in 3 people - what's the theory behind this?

Original air date: April 25, 2024This is one of those conversations that changed me. "The only fact of our life is death," yet we spend most of our time trying to ignore it, instead of developing the tools to embrace it. But don't think for a second that this episode will bum you out or make you feel icky-it's quite the opposite!Alua Arthur is the most prominent death doula in America today.

It's Tuesday, but this quick chat is more than just a tidbit! This is an heartwarming story of friendship and heroism with an important call to action!Next week, on September 6 my guest Matt Christopherson will be setting out on the run of a lifetime-- 125 kilometers from Vancouver to Whistler. Why? Because not all heroes wear capes. Krista Temple is a two-time Olympian rower and Silver medalist in the 2012 Women's 8. In March 2024, as Krista went to open a jar of pickles, she broke her arm. This seemingly routine act would later confirm that her breast cancer from 2022 had returned, now in her bones. Upon further private testing Krista was diagnosed with stage four cancer, which included six lesions from her head to her waist.Matt was a childhood friend of Krista's and when he learned of her story, he felt called into action. Listen to the incredible idea he hatched to raise funds for Krista's treatment and raise awareness for the fight of other Olympians who, once they are out of the limelight, can face medical challenges and hardships that leave them with no support or resources.Check out the below links for more info and to donate, and please share this inspiring story with everyone you can!Learn more here: www.project125.caDonate ASAP: www.project125.ca/donate

I'm so happy to share this conversation to shed some light on another tool for your mental wellness toolkit. EMDR is an evidence-based, memory-focused trauma treatment, which Michael Baldwin says saved his life. This revolutionary method can yield significant progress in just a single session, compared to years of talk therapy. Baldwin instigated a collaboration with renowned trauma therapist Deborah Korn, PsyD, on an eye-catching, inspirational book on EMDR, Every Memory Deserves Respect—his way of throwing a lifeline to other trauma survivors.

Yet women have been told to suck it up, "this is just part of being a woman," and get back to work/life/parenting/etc. And due to one flawed study on hormone therapy from decades ago, a generation of women has been robbed of the opportunity to safely alleviate symptoms of hormonal changes. The good news is that today we have a range of options to help combat our suffering.Anne Fulenwider is co-founder and co-CEO of Alloy, a digital health company changing the conversation around menopause.
