Sleep is not just a luxury—it's a foundational pillar of health that influences nearly every aspect of our well-being. Sleep deprivation doesn't just cause fatigue; it disrupts hormones, drives inflammation, damages metabolism, and accelerates aging. From the gut microbiome to stress hormones like cortisol, sleep is deeply intertwined with brain, immune, and metabolic health. Yet our modern world—filled with late-night screens, ultra-processed foods, and chronic stress—works against quality rest.  In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Matt Walker and Shawn Stevenson, why we need to address sleep as a core health priority to unlock healing, prevention of chronic disease, and renewed vitality. Matthew Walker earned his PhD in neuroscience from the Medical Research Council in the UK, and subsequently became a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is currently a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. Matt's research focuses on the effect of sleep on human health and disease, brain, and body. He has published more than 100 scientific research studies and has received numerous funding awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Matt has given a main-stage TED Talk that has been viewed over 13 million times, has also created several TED Miniseries on sleep, a MasterClass series on sleep, and is author of the New York Times bestseller, Why We Sleep. Matt is also the host of the 5-star-rated, The Matt Walker Podcast. Shawn Stevenson is the author of the USA Today National bestseller Eat Smarter, and the international bestselling book Sleep Smarter. He's also the creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the number #1 health podcast in the U.S. with millions of listener downloads each month. A graduate of the University of Missouri–St. Louis, Shawn studied business, biology, and nutritional science and became the cofounder of Advanced Integrative Health Alliance.

In "Sleep Smarter", Shawn Stevenson shares easy tips and tricks to discover the best sleep and best health of your life. When it comes to health, there is often one criminally overlooked element: sleep. Good sleep helps you lose weight, stave off disease, stay productive, and improve virtually every function of your mind and body. That's what Shawn Stevenson learned when a degenerative bone disease crushed his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body, until he decided there must be a better way. Through better sleep and optimized nutrition, Stevenson not only healed his body but also achieved fitness and business goals he never thought possible. With his 14-Day Sleep Makeover, you'll learn how to create the ideal sleep sanctuary, how to hack sunlight to regulate your circadian rhythms, which clinically proven sleep nutrients and supplements you need, and stress-reduction exercises and fitness tips to keep you mentally and physically sharp. Shawn Stevenson is a bestselling author and creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the #1 Health podcast in the world on iTunes.

I am delighted to connect with Shawn Stevenson for the first show of 2023! Shawn is the host of the prolific Model Health Show. He is also a Nutritional Scientist, an author, and a father. Shawn was a top-tier athlete when he was in high school. At fifteen, his hip broke while running a 200-meter time trial. He had some standard of care, but nobody ever asked how an apparently healthy kid broke his hip while running. Two years later, he went to college. Soon after that, he got diagnosed with degenerative disc disease.    In this episode, we get into how his background influenced his career path. We discuss fast food economies, ultra-processed food, the impact of subsidized food on our health, the gut microbiome, and the danger of seed oils. We dive into metabolic switching, the vagus nerve, and how it impacts food absorption and leaky gut. We talk about brain health and how the brain gets influenced by the food we eat, the interrelationship between the brain and metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and the impact of inflammation on the brain. We also speak about the importance of hydration and electrolytes, and more. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Shawn developed his passion for talking about nutrition and synthesizing research and got to where he is today. How changing his thinking changed his life. What are ultra-processed foods? How ultra-processed foods impact the health of the average American citizen. Why so many Americans are obese today. Why we need to understand the connection between the brain and the gut. What is the relationship between our immune system and our gut microbiome? An unusual benefit of extra-virgin olive oil.

Shawn was a top-tier athlete when he was in high school. At fifteen, his hip broke while running a 200-meter time trial.

We discuss fast food economies, ultra-processed food, the impact of subsidized food on our health, the gut microbiome, and the danger of seed oils. We dive into metabolic switching, the vagus nerve, and how it impacts food absorption and leaky gut. We talk about brain health and how the brain gets influenced by the food we eat, the interrelationship between the brain and metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and the impact of inflammation on the brain. We also speak about the importance of hydration and electrolytes, and more. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Shawn developed his passion for talking about nutrition and synthesizing research and got to where he is today. How changing his thinking changed his life. What are ultra-processed foods? How ultra-processed foods impact the health of the average American citizen. Why so many Americans are obese today.

StoryShots Book Summary and Review of Sleep Smarter: 21 Essential Strategies to Sleep Your Way to A Better Body, Better Health, and Bigger Success by Shawn StevensonAbout Shawn StevensonShawn Stevenson is a health and wellness expert, author, and speaker. He's also the creator of The Model Health Show, the #1 health podcast in the U.S., with millions of downloads each year. Stevenson graduated from the University of Missouri, St. Louis, where he studied business, biology, and nutritional science.

Stevenson has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, The New York Times, Muscle & Fitness, ABC News, ESPN, and many other major media outlets. “A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.” - Shawn Stevenson. Introduction Have you ever wondered how to boost your health through healthier sleeping habits? Sleep Smarter teaches you how to do exactly that. Too many of us fail to understand the value of sleep and the incredible impact sleep can have on our health. This 290-page book gives readers actionable tips. You can use these tips to sleep better, feel better, and do better. StoryShot #1: Sleep Is Critical for Optimal Productivity and More “You will perform better, make better decisions, and have a better body when you get the sleep you require.”  ― Shawn Stevenson Have you ever wondered why sleep is valuable? The average person spends one-third or nearly 230,000 hours sleeping in their lifetime. That can make getting in your 8 hours feel like a massive waste of time. Many of us don't know that getting enough rest is critical to optimizing the time we aren't sleeping. Sleeping enough and sleeping well are essential for being productive during daylight hours. Our brains need a compound called glucose to function optimally. And studies show that people who sleep less tend to have less glucose in their brain tissue. This phenomenon is mainly present in the prefrontal cortex, which helps us solve problems and perform more complex cognitive tasks. Sleep handles everything from regulating our appetite and consolidating memories to strengthening immune system function and repairing damaged cells. Sleep is precious for your health for these reasons and many more. StoryShot #2: Sun and Screen Exposure Can Throw Off Your Circadian Rhythm Humans need light. Since the dawn of human time, we've required sunlight to produce vitamin D. Our bodies can't make this vitamin naturally. But we also need light because it regulates the circadian rhythm, aka our sleep-wake schedule. Light exposure correlates with your sleep schedule because of a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin tells our brains when it's time to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Melatonin needs exposure to sunlight during the day. You can throw off your melatonin levels if you get too much light exposure when you're supposed to be sleeping. This effect is why sleep scientists recommend not using blue-light screens before you go to bed. “...Make it a mandate to turn off all screens at least 90 minutes before bedtime in order to allow melatonin and cortisol levels to normalize.”  ― Shawn Stevenson. StoryShot #3: Temperature Is the Most Important Factor for Sleeping Well--- Disclaimer: This is an...

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens. Inadequate sleep, in terms of both quantity and quality, is a major problem for many of us. Not only does not sleeping well leave us feeling bad, it is also detrimental to our overall health. Poor sleep can lead to everything from mood swings to blood sugar and hormonal imbalances, weight gain, poor memory, and much more. In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Cindy Geyer, and Shawn Stevenson about how to create daily habits to support restful sleep, including how we can best honor our circadian rhythm. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow. He was awarded the Cogan Award in 2017, which is given to the scientist making the largest discoveries in the study of vision. His lab's most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. Work from the Huberman Laboratory at the Stanford University School of Medicine has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and Cell and has been featured inTime, Scientific American, and Discover magazines, the BBC, and other top media outlets. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed her residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY, and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The UltraWellness Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director at Canyon Ranch for 23 years.

Bet you think we couldn't fit anymore content? Never! We will chat with David Roddenberry the CEO of HealthyWage. HealthyWage touts to be the world's leading purveyor of financially-induced diet contests for individuals and corporate/team-based weight loss challenges with A-list partnerships such as the one they have with Sherri Shepherd. The efficacy of diet gamification is well-proven. For one, according to study findings published by JAMA Internal Medicine, behavioral economics-based gamification led to “significantly” increased physical activity among overweight and obese Americans. In this particular study, pairing a step tracking device with social incentives led to sustained, long-term behavior change—prompting participants to take more steps then with a step tracking device, alone. While the report explains that “gamification interventions significantly increased physical activity during the 24-week intervention,” with competition being the “most effective.” Listed as Industry-leading health and wellness, HealthyWage, provides cash incentives, social and expert-based support, tools and resources, and goal-setting and tracking technologies to address our nation's obesity epidemic and improve America's collective health. HealthyWage is at the forefront of the weight wagering movement, having formally created competitive, cash-fueled programs for more than 90 Fortune 500 and other companies, hospitals, health systems, insurers, school systems, municipal governments and other organizations throughout the U.S., and their program has been more informally run at more than 3,000 companies and organizations. The company was founded in response to academic research that proves even small cash rewards triple the effectiveness of weight-loss programs; that people are more effective at losing weight when their own money is at risk; and that social networks play a large role in the spread of obesity, and will likely play a large role in reversing obesity.

Should we be prohibited from asking questions? If we lose the ability and right to speak, ask questions, to think for ourselves, to have sovereignty over our bodies and lives... we are on a precarious path indeed. With more of us obese, overweight and diseased than ever before, it's the very governments and corporations silencing us and ordering us around that got us here in the first place. As we're being told what to believe, many of us are being censored, shadowbanned, or even de-platformed - apparently just for thinking for ourselves. How many times do governments, politicians and mega corporations have to exploit us before we get a clue? If you look at history, you can see where this goes, and it's not pretty. So we have a spicy episode for you here today. Returning to the show is our dear friend, Shawn Stevenson, speaker, host of the #1 ranked podcast The Model Health Show, and bestselling author of “Sleep Smarter” and the brand spanking new book “Eat Smarter”.

With more of us obese, overweight and diseased than ever before, it's the very governments and corporations silencing us and ordering us around that got us here in the first place. As we're being told what to believe, many of us are being censored, shadowbanned, or even de-platformed - apparently just for thinking for ourselves. How many times do governments, politicians and mega corporations have to exploit us before we get a clue? If you look at history, you can see where this goes, and it's not pretty. So we have a spicy episode for you here today. Returning to the show is our dear friend, Shawn Stevenson, speaker, host of the #1 ranked podcast The Model Health Show, and bestselling author of “Sleep Smarter” and the brand spanking new book “Eat Smarter”. Shawn graduated from The University of Missouri–St. Louis with a background in biology and kinesiology, and founded the Advanced Integrative Health Alliance which provides wellness services to individuals and organizations worldwide. You're going to like this one. Shawn definitely takes the gloves off a little bit. It's a great conversation. I hope you dig it. We're chatting about... Why it's worth it to have higher standards for what you're eating How subsidized foods are fattening America Why it's important that people don't skip over balance in the diet How to share love through home cooked meals Why we should prioritize prevention over medical intervention The importance of diversity in our gut microbiome And much more...
