    Fall Back in love with Sleep... In this Episode, Ali and Mark Novitsky deliver a true eye-opener about the importance of adequate "Shut eye". They discuss a seminal publication about sleep by Dr. Matthew Walker. An exploration of sleep medication included a warning about using benzodiazepines for sleep and discourse about the potential benefits of Melatonin. They teach about the Glymphatic system (and it's implications on memory and Alzheimers). The Novitskys point out the fallacy in the old adage "you can sleep when your dead" because you are likely to die sooner if you dont have adequate sleep. They identify the association between of poor sleep/overnight call and Ghrelin/Leptin levels (and subsequent eating/diet implications and risk of diabetes). Weakened immunity and cancer are also noted to be a sequelae of insomnia. Sleep habits can affect intimacy for couples and reinforce negative core beliefs that can poison not only the relationship, but the perception of the entire family about the strength of the marriage. The Doctors Novitsky share some take-away recommendations to optimize sleep for the sake of medicine, health, and marriage.

    Addiction is a serious health concern that knows no boundaries. Though many might hope their medical providers are immune to these risks, they are actually at more risk given the social isolation, stress, and burnout that can come with the job. Philadelphia Addiction Psychiatrist, David Clements MD (https://www.myexecutivehealth.com) notes that mental well-being is directly proportionate to the the social connectedness of an individual. Similarly, intimacy in the marriage is contingent on effective communication and the ability of partners to show eachother vulnerability. Short-comings in either can lead down the road of substance use. Lydia Clements, MD highlights the stigma of mental illness/addiction and introduces a comparison with well-known medical conditions to better explain the prognosis of addiction. If you or a loved one are suffering from an addiction, Dr. David Clements provides meaningful initial steps on the path to recovery, including potential detoxification/residential treatment at The Malvern Institute (phone#: 610-MALVERN; https://www.malverninstitute.com), the institution where he and Mark first met.
