Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

What stops people with disabilities from being physically active? In this episode, we discuss real barriers—and real solutions—from lived experiences and research. From neuropathic pain to equipment costs, Dr. James Haley shares what truly matters when designing inclusive activity interventions. In this continuation of the conversation between Dr. James Haley and host Dr. Olli Tikkanen, the focus shifts to the day-to-day challenges that prevent people with disabilities—especially spinal cord injuries—from engaging in physical activity. Dr. Haley outlines individual, environmental, and social barriers, such as fatigue, lack of adapted equipment, inaccessible facilities, and social stigma. Importantly, he also shares insights into what motivates and supports physical activity, including community, co-designed interventions, and creative at-home options. The episode explores how sports like wheelchair basketball foster belonging and motivation, while also addressing global disparities in access to inclusive programs. Dr. Haley also touches on his vision for scaling his work beyond the UK to low- and middle-income countries. Finally, the discussion includes practical examples and participant experiences from his research, as well as reflections on co-design principles and the potential future role of AI in enhancing adaptive health technologies. _____________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.

People with disabilities face more barriers to physical activity—but technology is offering new hope. In this episode, we explore one of the world's first exercise apps designed specifically for people with multiple disabilities. Dr. James Haley, a health psychologist from the University of Chichester, joins host Dr. Olli Tikkanen to discuss how co-designed mobile health interventions can support individuals with complex needs. Drawing from his PhD work at Loughborough University, Dr. Haley shares insights into the development and evaluation of the "Accessorize" app—an inclusive tool created during the COVID-19 pandemic to help people with various disabilities become more physically active. In this first part of their conversation, Dr. Haley explains how the app adapts to users with spinal cord injuries, amputations, or achondroplasia, allowing them to customize workouts based on environment, goals, and available equipment. He also discusses the outcomes of usability studies, the behavior change techniques embedded in the app, and the challenges faced in conducting feasibility trials with disabled populations. This episode is a must-listen for researchers, developers, and healthcare professionals interested in digital health, inclusive design, and physical activity promotion for underrepresented groups. ___________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.

Jason Johnson joins Trap Talk for Episode 177, and this one covers a little bit of everything: trapshooting, military service, family, mindset, sleep, and why coming back to the sport can be just as exciting as starting young.Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Jason, a Texas trapshooter, military veteran, and part of the family behind Johnson's Furniture, Appliance & Mattress, a new sponsor of the show. Jason talks about growing up around trapshooting, pulling targets, watching great shooters, serving 23 years in the military, and eventually finding his way back to registered trapshooting as a way to make memories with his dad and family.The guys get into the mental side of shooting, including box breathing, pre-shot routines, music on the line, slowing down under pressure, and why one bad mount should be a reset instead of a lost target. Jason also shares what he learned from the Nevada State Shoot, the fun of events like the Back Fence Shootout, and why the ATA needs more energy, more excitement, and more opportunities for everyday shooters to win something and feel part of the action. They also dive into a topic most trapshooters ignore: sleep. Jason explains why a good mattress matters when you are traveling, shooting long programs, living out of an RV, or trying to stay sharp over several days of competition. From Tempur-Pedic mattresses to RV setups and white-glove delivery, this episode makes a strong case that better rest can lead to better performance.This is a great conversation for shooters getting back into the game, new ATA members, traveling competitors, and anyone who knows that trapshooting is about more than just breaking targets.Enjoy this episode and please like, share, comment, and subscribe to support the channel.Follow & Subscribe to Trap Talk!

Hey friend, Have you tried every bedtime routine and still can't fall asleep? Do you wake up tired even after eight hours? Could the fix to your sleep be two short windows of daylight — not a long afternoon walk? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. Daylight is the strongest signal your brain uses to set your sleep clock — but not all daylight talks to your brain the same way. In this episode I unpack the two short windows that do almost all the work (morning and sunset), why the middle of the day matters less than you'd think, why moms with chronic illness need these signals even more, and the two-doorway practice that quietly improves sleep without rearranging your day.

Most of us are intentional about how we start our mornings, but rarely think about our last thought before sleep. It turns out that final moment before you drift off matters more than you might realize. Your brain continues processing and consolidating whatever is on your mind as you fall asleep, which means choosing that last thought carefully could change not just how you sleep, but how you feel the next day.

Hey friend, Do you lie in bed replaying today's hard moments? Does your brain start running tomorrow the second your body lies down? Do you fall asleep cataloging the ways you weren't enough as a mom? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness, raising neurodivergent kids. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. This is the series finale, and it's a different kind of episode. Instead of adding another practice to your night, we're naming three quiet patterns that are stacking your fatigue: the Replay, the Rehearsal, and the Review. I walk you through what each one is, why the Review is the most expensive of the three (especially for moms of faith), and how to choose one to drop tonight.

Most productivity advice skips right past the most obvious lever: sleep. In this episode, JR speaks with Nathalie Walton who leads growth at Better Sleep, the app that's become the go-to sleep tool for 65 million people around the world. Nathalie's path here wasn't linear. It started with her own experience during pregnancy where she came to realize that there was a frustrating gap in support for women's health. That led her to found Expectful, a platform for fertility, pregnancy, and early motherhood, and eventually to Better Sleep, where she's helping scale something that genuinely changes how people feel day to day. JR and Nathalie get into:Why sleep isn't something you can bank or borrow againstHow Better Sleep built real trust with its users in an era when most health apps cut cornersWhy expanding access to care (especially for women and underserved communities) is one of the most important problems anyone in healthcare can be working on right now If you're interested in health, startups or optimizing your performance at work and in life, you don't want to skip this episode.

The pursuit of restful sleep is a common goal, especially considering that around one-third of people in the UK experience sleep disorders such as insomnia or even orthosomnia, an obsession with achieving perfect sleep (to find out more about this listen to our episode all about it.) To combat this people try all sorts of methods from meditation to counting sheep, one new approach is the 10-3-2-1-0 method. Developed in 2016 by Canadian personal development coach Craig Ballentyne, this method uses a simple countdown to prepare your body for sleep. What is the this method? What does these numbers mean? Does it actually work? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : Why do our bodies need to sleep? How do I know if I sleepwalk?

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes David Messerschmitt, a retired computer and signal processing engineer, and Stuart Crisp, a retired process control engineer and educator, to discuss patient-facing open-source PAP platforms and how informed users leverage detailed data to optimize their sleep apnea treatment. This episode represents a departure from the typical clinical expert format. After eight seasons focusing on sleep medicine professionals, these engineer-patients reached out to share how platforms like Sleep HQ and OSCAR have transformed their understanding and management of sleep-disordered breathing. Both are power users who have helped thousands of fellow patients navigate complex PAP data, representing a patient empowerment movement that many clinicians may not fully appreciate. David and Stuart explain what Sleep HQ and OSCAR are, how these platforms differ from standard clinical downloads, and what data visualization capabilities they offer. The platforms integrate multiple data streams—high-resolution flow rate data from PAP device SD cards, pulse oximetry from wearable rings, and sleep architecture from devices like Apple Watch—creating a comprehensive picture that goes far beyond what's typically reviewed in clinic appointments. The conversation explores sophisticated analysis techniques these informed patients employ: identifying upper airway resistance syndrome through inspiratory flow limitation and heart rate spikes, distinguishing sleep onset versus wake onset events, detecting REM-related apneas, and recognizing positional apnea patterns. Stuart and David discuss "Somnopose," chin tuck events, and what they call "high-level waveform forensics"—detailed signal analysis that reveals subtle breathing pattern abnormalities. A crucial discussion addresses whether these patient communities represent antagonism toward the medical establishment or an unmet need that sleep medicine should embrace. The guests emphasize their desire for collaboration, not confrontation, and offer insights into how clinicians can better partner with informed, data-driven patients who arrive with detailed self-analysis. Whether you're encountering patients who bring detailed PAP data to appointments, curious about what these platforms reveal that standard reports don't, or seeking to better collaborate with informed patient communities, this episode provides essential perspectives from the patient side of sleep medicine. Join us for this unique conversation that bridges the gap between clinical expertise and patient empowerment in sleep apnea management.

We all know sleep is important. But for those facing mental health challenges, research from UC Berkeley shows how good sleep is also foundational for treatment and recovery.Early results from a long‑term study at Berkeley's Golden Bear Sleep and Mood Research Clinic show that sleep is directly linked with our mental health and, when used alongside standard clinical treatments, can dramatically improve patients' outcomes. “The finding keeps replicating: If you treat sleep, you'll improve mental health symptoms,” says Allison Harvey, a Berkeley professor of psychology and director of the clinic who led the study. In 2017, Harvey and Daniel Buysse, a professor of psychiatry and sleep medicine expert at the University of Pittsburgh, published a book detailing a sleep tool they developed called the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention, or TSC. It includes a range of do-it-yourself sleep treatments, from regularizing wake-up times to detaching from digital devices before bed, that can help anyone get better rest. Mental health practitioners in county clinics across California are now using it to treat clients, with remarkable results: Not only has the TSC helped to decrease symptoms of psychosis, nearly two-thirds of people reported drinking less alcohol, and suicide-ideation severity was reduced for almost half of the clients. Emma Agnew, the clinic's director for clinical implementation and partnerships at the time, has seen this impact firsthand. She says the data confirm a vital shift in how we approach mental health care: “Sleep treatment is literally something that is life-saving for people.”Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-voices).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo via Unsplash; design by Neil Freese/UC Berkeley.Resources: Allison Harvey's UC Berkeley faculty profile pageEmma Agnew's websiteTreating Sleep Problems: A Transdiagnostic Approach (2017) by Allison Harvey and Daniel BuysseResearch on the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian InterventionThe Berkeley research team's recent webinars on sleep science Hosted on Acast.

Did you know that your sleep is just as important as exercise and nutrition when it comes to bone health? Today, I'm thrilled to welcome back Dr. Audrey Wells, a triple board-certified sleep physician, Chief Medical Officer of SLIIIP.com, and an expert in the connection between sleep, menopause, and women's long-term health. Dr. Wells shares how disrupted sleep can weaken bones, especially in women, and how improving sleep can directly benefit bone density and overall health. We discuss research that shows women who sleep five hours or less have significantly higher rates of bone loss and osteoporosis. Dr. Wells explains the anabolic effect of sleep and why good sleep is essential for making the most out of your nutrition and exercise efforts. Most importantly, Dr. Wells offers simple, practical strategies you can implement tonight to improve your sleep quality and protect your bones. She covers everything from sleep hygiene to avoiding sleep apnea. "Without good sleep, you're not going to make good choices… Not only does sleep help with the primary physiology that preserves bone health, but it also helps with those mental decisions that keep you on track with health goals." ~ Dr. Audrey Wells In this episode: - [02:15] - Why people overlook the importance of sleep - [04:39] - How disrupted sleep affects bone density and health - [07:09] - Why women who sleep poorly are at a higher risk of osteoporosis - [11:53] - Practical sleep strategies for better bone health - [17:40] - How sleep apnea and poor sleep contribute to bone loss - [23:03] - Sleep evaluation process - [28:11] - The 5-minute brain dump to relax your mind - [33:08] - Tips for creating a sleep-friendly environment - [35:59] - The effects of taking sleep medication and supplements - [40:48] - How better sleep impacts long-term wellness Resources - Dr. Audrey Wells's website - https://sliiip.com - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-exercises-to-strengthen-your-bones-and-prevent-fractures More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Dan Pardi to unpack the science and surprising versatility of creatine, far beyond its reputation as a muscle-building supplement. He breaks down how creatine supports cellular energy production, enhances strength and performance, and may even buffer the effects of sleep deprivation—making it a powerful tool for modern high-performers. The conversation dives into nuanced dosing strategies, optimal timing, and key differences between forms like monohydrate and HCL, while also addressing common concerns like bloating and kidney health. Dr. Pardi highlights important considerations for women, including lower natural creatine production, hormonal influences, and its potential role in postpartum depression and brain health. The episode ties it all together by exploring how creatine intersects with methylation and NAD support, positioning it as a foundational supplement for longevity, resilience, and cognitive optimization.Dr. Dan Pardi is the Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, where he leads education to advance healthspan and peak performance. He's the founder of humanOS.me and host of humanOS Radio, the official podcast of the Sleep Research Society.
