Podcasts about Circadian rhythm

Most of us live in a light-deprived world. We spend less than 15 minutes outside daily—despite thinking we're outdoors for hours—leaving our circadian rhythms dangerously misaligned. In this episode, Dr. Jamie Zeitzer and Lucas Tang of Lumos Glasses break down how light acts as a conductor, orchestrating every system in your body: your sleep, mood, metabolism, and immune function. You'll discover why the contrast between bright days and dark nights matters more than total light exposure, why morning light directly impacts serotonin production and depression risk, and how light therapy works synergistically with SSRIs. Whether you have outdoor access or not, they share practical, evidence-backed tools to reclaim your natural rhythm—from outdoor time to Lumos Glasses, a fashionable light-therapy solution for those who can't get consistent daylight. This episode cuts through outdated light-therapy advice and equips you with science-grounded strategies to transform your health from the inside out.Resources mentioned:• Dr. Jamie Zeitzer (circadian rhythm researcher)• Lucas Tang (Lumos Glasses co-founder)• Lumos Glasses (light-therapy eyewear)• Happy Light (light therapy lamp)• NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey)• US Bureau of Labor Statistics Time Use Survey• OSHA workplace lighting standards• UBC landmark study (light therapy + fluoxetine for depression)• Fluoxetine (SSRI medication)Links mentioned:Circadian Rhythm and Light Therapy Guide here: https://dradamrinde.kit.com/5320da545b Sponsorship Mentioned: Pulsetto: Listen for special code mentioned in the episode https://pulsetto.sjv.io/jed7KMLinks:• Lumos Glasses: https://www.lumosglasses.com• Lumos Glasses on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lumosglasses/• Lumos Glasses on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lumosglasses• Lucas Tang on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucaswencanada• Dr. Jamie Zeitzer on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-zeitzer-7888185/

Episode Highlights With KatieThe real story behind baby #7 and the hardest year of my life — not the polished version, but the honest journey of what it looked like behind the scenes.The unexpected prayer that changed everything and what happened when I asked life to shake up anything that wasn't rooted in love and kindness.What it felt like to walk through a season where I couldn't fix, plan, or control my way out — and the lessons I learned from finally letting go.Navigating an unexpected pregnancy, the emotions I wrestled with, and how this season transformed my relationship with trust, surrender, and acceptance.My experience with a darkness retreat and what facing my deepest fears taught me about becoming a different version of myself.Why this was emotionally my hardest pregnancy but physically my easiest, and the health practices that supported me through it, including nutrition, movement, circadian rhythms, and stress reduction.Redefining what it means to be alone, finding deeper support through family and community, and discovering that a full life doesn't require everything to look the way I once imagined.What I learned about hard seasons: don't judge the story from the middle. How sometimes the things that feel like they're breaking us are making space for something new.HiyaHiya created a super powered chewable vitamin for kids that packs twelve organic fruits and vegetables plus fifteen essential vitamins and minerals into every dose.

The best performers in the world have found a competitive edge that's completely free. You can use it too, and it starts tonight.When Dr Jemma King put wearables on Australia's Special Forces in 2017, the culture was "sleep when I'm dead". Within months, those same soldiers were showing off their recovery scores and competing over who slept the most. Not because they went soft. Because the data showed sleep was making them faster, sharper and safer, and elite performers chase anything that does that.Jemma has spent a decade measuring what great sleep unlocks in people whose decisions matter: Special Operations Command, Olympic swimmers, CEOs. Her conclusion is genuinely exciting. Sharp is recoverable at any age, and it doesn't take supplements or gadgets. It takes a handful of deliberate habits the world's best are already using.Jemma introduces you to the midnight librarian who explains your 3am wake-ups (and how to give her the night off), the express bus that takes you straight to deep sleep, and how to build your own Sleep First formula around your biology and your life.Your upgrade is waiting. 00:00 It's 3am.

You've no doubt heard references to the existence of body clocks, and it's no surprise because all of our bodily functions are regulated by the circadian system. To put it simply, our circadian rhythms optimise bodily functions. In this episode, we explain why it is important. They are managed by a master clock known as the circadian pacemaker which is formed of around 20,000 neurons. It's situated in the brain, more specifically in the hypothalamus. The sleep-wake cycle is an obvious example of a circadian rhythm. But these cycles help many other systems to function too, like hunger, organ activity, memory consolidation and pain perception. The word “circadian” actually comes from the Latin “circa diem”, meaning “around a day”. What are the dangers of a disrupted circadian rhythm? What's the best way to stop circadian rhythms from getting disrupted? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Can you train yourself to become a night owl—or an early bird? Millions of people try. They force themselves to stay up later, wake up earlier, or work overnight because that's what life demands. But can your body really adapt? Or is there a biological clock inside you that simply refuses to cooperate? Scientists now know that your circadian rhythm governs much more than when you feel sleepy. It helps regulate your energy, mood, memory, metabolism, immune system, hormones, and even your risk for a surprising number of chronic diseases. When that internal clock falls out of sync with the schedule you keep, the consequences can range from feeling groggy and unfocused to serious long-term health problems. So how much control do you really have over your body clock? Why do some people naturally spring out of bed at dawn while others come alive after dark? What actually happens when you regularly ignore your body's signals? And what are the simple changes that can help you work with your circadian rhythm instead of constantly fighting it? Russell Foster joins me to explain the remarkable science of the body's internal clock and why understanding it may be one of the most important—and overlooked—keys to better sleep, better health, and better performance. Russell is Professor of Circadian Neuroscience and Director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford. He is author of Life Time: Your Body Clock and Its Essential Roles in Good Health and Sleep (https://amzn.to/3QQGZ6v). Whether you think of yourself as an early bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between, this conversation may completely change the way you think about sleep—and about time itself.

You've tried the topicals, the antibiotics, maybe even birth control — and your skin still isn't clear. That's because acne isn't a skin problem. It's an inside job. In this episode, Jensen, Kira, and Lacey break down the real root causes of acne — from gut health and mineral imbalances to blood sugar, hormones, and bile flow — and give you the actionable habits to finally address what's happening beneath the surface.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Your skin is an elimination organ — when your gut, liver, or lymphatic system is overwhelmed, it shows up on your face. Hormonal acne is rarely a hormone problem; it's usually a downstream symptom of things like blood sugar dysregulation, poor bile flow, or chronic stress. Healing your skin starts with foundations — sleep, minerals, hydration, and drainage — before jumping to testing or treatments.   CHAPTERS: [00:00:00] - Introduction: Why Your Skin Isn't Clearing [00:03:17] - Skin as an Elimination Organ [00:10:09] - The Gut-Skin Axis & Leaky Gut [00:22:28] - Mineral Imbalances & the HTMA Test [00:29:00] - Blood Sugar, Insulin & Androgens [00:31:14] - Hormones Are a Symptom, Not the Root Cause [00:35:08] - Bile Flow & Estrogen Clearance [00:36:55] - Why You Break Out Before Your Period [00:43:18] - Actionable Habits: Sleep & Circadian Rhythm [00:50:44] - Hydration, Minerals & Blood Sugar Support [00:57:10] - Lymphatic Drainage for Skin [00:58:52] - Skincare Minimalism During Active Acne   RESOURCES & MENTIONS: High frequency wand (Amazon) — https://amzn.to/4oJ5sY2 Quinton Minerals - https://amzn.to/4w6nhCP Aussie Trace Minerals - https://amzn.to/4gqcnTJ / https://a.co/d/0gD6ueeX  My Circadian app - https://mycircadianapp.com/ Root Cause Reset program - https://www.lifestyleucoaching.ca/wellness-effect-906145 Blood Sugar Resource - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PUa-wZinrpzobigPES3bTW-5TwNOXVuK/view?usp=drive_link Psyllium husk (fiber support) Spearmint tea (for high androgens)   EPISODES MENTIONED: Inflammation episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-down-the-inflammation-rabbit-hole-ep-70/id1561267131?i=1000767549037  Circadian Rhythm 101: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plant-medicine-peptides-relationships-a-candid/id1561267131?i=1000754622631  Lymphatic Drainage episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lymphatic-drainage-your-bodys-most-underrated-system-ep-68/id1561267131?i=1000764261331    Want to Work With Us?

Quantum Biology for Women over 40 begins with the choices we make at the grocery store—and the oils hiding in our favorite foods may be doing more harm than good.     In this eye-opening episode, Lisa Fischer sits down with nutrition pioneer Cherie Calbom, better known as The Juice Lady, to explore how juicing became her life's work and why she believes seed oils are fueling today's epidemic of inflammation and chronic disease. Cherie shares practical strategies for incorporating vegetable juicing without blood sugar spikes, explains the benefits of anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and ginger, and offers simple ways to support Circadian Rhythm and Hormone Balance through everyday nutrition.     Together, they unpack the surprising history of seed oils, discuss the science behind oxidative stress, and reveal why more consumers are rethinking what's on their plates. From healthier cooking fats to navigating restaurant menus, this conversation equips listeners with realistic steps toward Non-Toxic Living and Hormone Recovery while supporting Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging.    

Your brain may be stuck in survival mode. That could be why fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep refuse to budge no matter what you try. People with Long COVID, ME/CFS, and chronic fatigue often do everything right: clean up their diet, run labs, try every supplement, and they still don't recover. In this conversation, Patrick Porter, PhD, founder of BrainTap, explains why nervous system regulation may be the piece that keeps getting skipped. We cover how stress recovery, brainwave training, sleep quality, and brain fitness affect energy production, mental clarity, and the body's ability to heal. In this episode, you'll learn: Why chronic stress is often less of a problem than a lack of recovery How nervous system dysregulation can keep the body stuck in fight-or-flight mode The connection between brainwaves, energy production, and brain fog Why sleep quality matters more than simply spending more hours in bed How light, sound, and brainwave training are used to support neuroplasticity Practical strategies that may help improve focus, resilience, recovery, and sleep Guest: Patrick Porter, PhD is an award-winning author, speaker, and founder of BrainTap, a neuroscience-based platform specializing in brain fitness, neuroplasticity, and brainwave entrainment technology. Backed by 30 plus clinical studies and trusted by over 120,000 users and 3,000 health clinics worldwide, his work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and the Joe Rogan Experience.

While we often think of sleep and diet as separate pillars of health, our internal biological clocks and gut microbiome intricately connect them both. In this episode, co-hosts Dr. Siobhan McCormack and Dr. Sheena Fraser dive into the fascinating, bidirectional relationship between circadian rhythms, sleep quality, and gut health.They discuss how our physiology adapts to 24-hour light and dark cycles, the metabolic havoc caused by social jet lag and shift work, and how our gut microbes actually operate on their own daily schedules. Plus, Siobhan and Sheena share practical, evidence-based chrononutrition strategies and explore how targeted dietary patterns, probiotics, and fermented foods can significantly boost your mood and sleep architecture.What We Cover:The Circadian Symphony: How light, dark, and our body's internal peripheral clocks orchestrate everything from hormone release (like cortisol and melatonin) to digestion.Sleep Architecture & Mental Health: The critical role of REM and deep sleep, and how just one night of sleep deprivation increases impulsivity and degrades mood.Chrononutrition: Why when you eat is just as important as what you eat, and how meal timing acts as a major environmental cue for your gut microbes.Social Jet Lag & Shift Work: The metabolic consequences of disrupted sleep cycles, including increased risks for Type 2 Diabetes, and actionable strategies to regain circadian balance.Nutrients & Microbes for Sleep: Exploring the science behind specific dietary protocols, the power of Lactobacillus, and how fermented foods support restorative rest.Scientific References & Further Reading:Conti, F.

What if your child's meltdowns, picky eating, grumpy mornings, and sensory struggles weren't personality traits — but signals? Kira shares how testing her daughter's minerals changed everything in just 3 days, and the 7 foundational habits behind it. Kira and Lacey dive into children's functional wellness, starting with Kira's personal journey discovering her daughter Ellie was severely mineral-depleted despite doing "everything right." She walks through the 7 foundational habits she believes every child needs for better sleep, mood, behavior, immunity, and emotional regulation — and why most families are unknowingly skipping them.   Key Takeaways: Your kid's "quirks" — tantrums, picky eating, sensory issues, poor sleep — may be signs of mineral depletion or nervous system dysregulation, not just personality. Foundations like protein-forward breakfasts, morning light, and gut health support need to be in place before any supplement can do its best work. Your nervous system as a mom directly regulates your child's — working on your own regulation is one of the most impactful things you can do for their health.   Chapters 00:00:48 - Ellie's Story: When "Normal Kid Stuff" Isn't Normal 00:03:17 - The Meltdowns, Sensory Struggles & Grumpy Mornings 00:06:57 - Testing Her Minerals: The 4Lows Result 00:13:04 - 3 Days on the Mineral Blend & What Changed 00:17:36 - The Transformation: Sleep, Mood & Getting Dressed 00:25:15 - It's Never Too Late to Start 00:29:52 - The Input-Processing-Output Framework 00:33:48 - Pillar 1: Protein-Forward Breakfast 00:38:38 - Pillar 2 & 3: Morning Light + Minerals in Water 00:43:47 - Pillar 4 & 5: Outdoor Movement + Protecting Light at Night 00:49:42 - Pillar 6: Co-Regulation (Your Nervous System First) 00:55:14 - Pillar 7: Gut Health — One Food In, One Food Out   Resources & Mentions: HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) — the test used to assess mineral levels; available through Root Cause Reset Aussie Trace Minerals — available on Amazon; mentioned as an easy entry-point mineral addition to kids' water Root Cause Reset — Join the program, click here.

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper and dive into what the paper says, how it was conducted, and try to find any practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "ADHD as a Circadian Rhythm Disorder: Evidence and Implications for Chronotherapy." Now, this is a perspective paper looking at the available research on circadian rhythm dysfunction in ADHD and what works for correcting some of that dysfunction. So as we get into it, I think a great place for us to start is to talk about what a perspective paper is, because it's a little different than what we usually take on.

Are your daily habits negatively impacting your hormones and your overall health? And when it comes to hormones, are you focusing on only your sex hormones? It turns out other hormones are running the show! This episode breaks down common hormone dealbreakers and practical steps you can take to avoid them and reclaim your health.On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Robin Nielsen, board-certified integrative nutritionist and founder of Natural Hormone Solution, to unpack the hidden hormone dealbreakers quietly sabotaging your health. From the real role of cortisol rhythm to the truth about cholesterol and sex hormones, xenoestrogens in your face cream, and why your to-do list is wrecking your endocrine system, this conversation is a masterclass in natural hormone balance for women at every stage of life.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why cortisol and insulin are your two most important hormones and how their dysregulation drives symptoms that are often misread as perimenopause or aging.✅ How environmental xenoestrogens found in face creams, shampoos, and household cleaners silently disrupt your estrogen balance and what to do about it.✅ The critical connection between eating for hormone balance, meal timing, and why skipping breakfast and over-exercising are two of the most damaging habits for women's hormonal health.✅ How cholesterol actually serves as the building block for all your steroid hormones, and why lowering it too aggressively may be making your symptoms worse.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeDoes your sleep tracker know you better than you know yourself — or is it just stressing you out? If you've ever woken up more anxious about your sleep score than actually rested, this episode is for you. We're cutting through the noise, the supplements, and the sleep-maxing culture to get back to what actually works — a common-sense, no-fuss approach to sleeping better in midlife. Because you're not broken.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Cori Durall | Book Appointment In Today's Episode In this episode of Table Talk, Melody sits down with Dr. Cori Durall, a pharmacist and functional medicine practitioner, to discuss her journey from conventional pharmacy to root-cause healing. Dr. Cori shares how her personal health struggles, professional burnout, and experience with post-viral recovery led her to embrace functional medicine and advocate for taking ownership of your health through foundational lifestyle changes. Key Take Aways Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms rather than masking them with medications. Chronic stress can significantly impact hormones, nutrient status, adrenal health, and overall recovery. Foundational health habits—sleep, movement, nutrition, sunlight, and stress management—are often the most powerful tools for healing. Post-viral syndromes, including long COVID, can uncover deeper issues like inflammation and gut dysfunction. Taking responsibility for your health empowers long-term wellness and reduces dependence on reactive healthcare solutions. Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome to Table Talk Introduction to Pharm to Table's mission and today's guest, Dr. Cori Durall. 00:32 – Meet Dr. Cori Durall Cori shares her background as a pharmacist in Salina, Kansas, and her experience in community pharmacy. 02:13 – Discovering Functional Medicine How compounding pharmacy and hormone health sparked her interest in integrative care. 05:29 – Why Women's Hormone Health Matters The often-overlooked symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. 07:24 – Realizing the Limits of Conventional Pharmacy Why filling prescriptions no longer felt like true healing work. 09:57 – Cori's Personal Health Journey Begins Experiencing unexplained neurological symptoms, fatigue, and frustration with “normal” labs. 12:00 – Healing Through Lifestyle Changes How sleep, nutrition, movement, and gut health became key to recovery. 14:00 – Nutrient Deficiencies and Supplement Support Vitamin D, magnesium, adaptogens, and rebuilding foundational health. 16:00 – Stress, Burnout, and Choosing Health First Why stepping down from leadership was essential for healing. 19:42 – Long COVID and Post-Viral Recovery Navigating lingering symptoms and discovering deeper root causes. 24:32 – The Role of Circadian Rhythm and Recovery Why sleep timing and nervous system regulation matter. 29:23 – Taking Responsibility for Your Health Dr. Cori's encouragement to prioritize lifestyle foundations. 30:10 – Tools for Taking Back Your Power How health tracking and functional testing can guide healing. 32:00 – Foundations of Wellness Program Resources available through Pharm to Table for getting started. Resources Mentioned Table Talk Podcast — Resources & Links The PharmToTable Team – Functional Medicine Providers Therapies & Approaches Discussed: Functional Medicine & Root-Cause Analysis Environmental Detoxification (Mold & Mycotoxins) Comprehensive Gut Health Restoration Metabolic Awareness via Biometric Tracking (Continuous Glucose Monitoring / CGM) Nervous System Regulation & Stress Adaptation (Somatic & Vagal Toning) Foundations of Wellness Framework (Sleep, Stress, Movement, Community)

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the growing interest in biological age versus chronological age and explains that biological aging is modifiable through consistent lifestyle choices. She outlines common measurement tools and biomarkers, including epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation), telomere length, VO2 max, inflammatory markers, grip strength, and muscle mass, noting that genetics account for only about 25–40% of biological aging variation. Key interventions include regular aerobic and resistance exercise, protein-adequate nutrition to preserve muscle and prevent sarcopenia (with whey protein and leucine-rich foods noted), improved sleep, stress management, reducing processed foods and visceral fat, and lowering chronic inflammation (CRP, IL-6). She also reviews hormetic stressors such as sauna use and mentions red/near-infrared light and sun exposure without sunglasses. Leyla shares client examples showing biological age can worsen or improve, and encourages repeat testing after lifestyle changes.

Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group, details his paper “Energy Allocation Resilience and Endocrine Integration” in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. He introduces the Energy Allocation System (EAS), which emphasizes how the body allocates energy—not just produces it—and links many symptoms to impaired bioenergetics and resilience. They discuss mitochondria as energy generators and cellular signaling hubs, the integrated stress response and endocrine coordination (HPA axis, thyroid, gonads), and mitohormesis/eustress (exercise, fasting, heat/cold, circadian “zeitgebers”). Schuler explains nuanced testing for fatigue (diurnal cortisol, CGM patterns, thyroid markers including T3/reverse T3) and a case of a perimenopausal woman where oral contraceptives and cortisol dysregulation affected glucose patterns. They cover mitochondrial support (removing obstacles like pollutants/antibiotics, triglycerides, carnitine, dietary fats, micronutrients) and pacing/sequencing lifestyle interventions.

Did you know your skin has its own internal clock — and that ignoring it could be accelerating aging? In this episode of the Science of Skin podcast, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Patti Farris sits down with renowned cosmetic dermatologist and Harvard graduate Dr. Ava Shamban — founder of AvaMD Dermatology and the skincare line Althea — to break down the fascinating science of circadian rhythms and skin health. They cover: What circadian rhythms actually are and why every skin cell has its own biological clock How clock genes control 50% of your genome — and drive collagen production, DNA repair, and barrier function Why screen time, blue light, and night-shift schedules are silently destroying your skin The emerging field of chrono cosmetics — syncing your skincare routine to your skin's natural 24-hour cycle Dr. Ava's science-backed skincare line Althea and its groundbreaking day/night formulations Her new multimodal at-home device featuring LED therapy, radio frequency, and microcurrent — pending FDA clearance Whether you're a skincare enthusiast or a medical professional, this episode will completely change how you think about anti-aging, skin longevity, and your nighttime skincare routine.

You already know sleep matters. What you don't know is why you keep waking up at 2 AM, why your tracker is probably lying to you, and why the rules you've been following may not be meant for you. Dr. Michael Breus is one of the world's leading sleep doctors - not just a sleep expert, but a clinical psychologist who actually treats patients and pressure-tests every theory in real life. The difference matters. The rule saying you need a pitch-black, 65-degree room with no TV and no partner? He sleeps with two French bulldogs and a big screen on. His point isn't that sleep hygiene doesn't matter. It's that it has to work for your actual life. One thing that might reshape how you think about your body: every human on earth wakes up between 1 and 3 AM. It's biology. Your core body temperature drops to prevent hypothermia, and your body briefly surfaces. Most people roll over and go back to sleep. If you don't, the fix isn't pills - it's understanding what's happening and using tools like 4-7-8 breathing to lower your heart rate below 60 and let sleep return naturally. Your chronotype - lion, bear, wolf, or dolphin - is genetic. It shifts across your lifetime. Forcing a wolf to be a lion doesn't make them a better performer; it makes them worse. The biggest unlock, according to Dr. Breus, isn't more sleep. It's doing the right things at the right time for your specific biology. Dr. Breus has a five-step daily framework he gives every patient. It's specific, it's sequenced, and most people are violating at least three of the steps without knowing it.

Sarah hosts Nikko Kennedy on the Evolving Wellness podcast to discuss motherhood, preconception, and sleep, emphasizing how optimizing light and darkness can support polyphasic sleep and help mothers function despite frequent night wakings. Nikko argues modern expectations of consolidated 8-hour sleep and nighttime screen use worsen fatigue, while extended time in dim darkness (often 10–14 hours postpartum) can improve resilience, weight loss, and overall endocrine and metabolic health. They connect sleep to anemia, noting over 90% of new red blood cells come from recycled iron, with inflammation-regulated hepcidin limiting iron use regardless of supplementation; they highlight the roles of mitochondria, liver, spleen, and bone marrow and the need for nighttime darkness. They also touch on community/social cues, dad's health and placental outcomes, pregnancy blood volume expansion, and mixed experiences with desiccated organ supplements.— Connect with Nikko:https://substack.com/@nikkokennedy?r=5eztl9&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pagehttps://www.instagram.com/brighterdays.darkernights/ YOUR COMPLETE SUMMER SUN GUIDE - Free Webinar: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/webinar-your-summer-sun-guide or Scan the QR code at 01:58 _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order. _________Timestamp:00:00 Coming Up00:29 Podcast Intro 03:27 Meet Nikko Kennedy06:04 Why Nikko Helps Moms13:52 Polyphasic Sleep Basics16:26 Postpartum Rest Strategy17:54 Sleep Is Social Screens22:22 Handling Pushback Privilege24:17 Jealousy Online25:44 Iron Recycling Basics28:06 Darkness Heals Mitochondria29:03 Enforced Darkness Protocols31:18 Sunlight for Postpartum Recovery35:17 Light and Breastfeeding Gains36:06 Motherhood Moment Break37:34 Practice Based Research39:31 Dad Health and Placenta41:22 Blood Volume Expansion42:23 Boring Basics Protocol42:47 Organ Supplements Debate——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, an Integrative Medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author specializing in chronic fatigue syndrome, details “adrenal fatigue,” contrasting Endocrine Society guidelines focused on overt adrenal failure with his view that the adrenals can be functionally exhausted and may be missed by standard testing and “normal ranges.” They discuss adrenal roles in stress response, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, immunity, and symptoms suggesting low adrenal function (irritability when hungry, sugar cravings, fatigue, recurrent infections, lightheadedness/brain fog, mood shifts). Contributors include high sugar intake, chronic stress, dehydration, and salt restriction, with modern media fear/divisiveness cited as a major stressor; hypothalamic dysfunction and circadian rhythm disruption may cause “tired but wired” insomnia. They cover options such as licorice (not DGL), dietary and lifestyle changes, Adrenaplex, adaptogens (ashwagandha standards, HRG80 red ginseng study), phosphatidylserine for high nighttime cortisol, cautious low-dose hydrocortisone thresholds, and DHEA/pregnenolone considerations, plus resources at endfatigue.com.

Kim Rogers spent over 20 years in Western medicine running 25 healthcare colleges, teaching as a professor, authoring medical materials, and earning two healthcare degrees, all while battling chronic illness herself. In 2019, her health declined severely, leading her and her husband to sell everything and move to their property to build a log home and focus on healing. After exploring natural approaches, including mushrooms, Kim discovered parasite cleansing in 2021. Within days, she saw major results, and after sharing her experience online, her story quickly went viral. Motivated to help others, Kim co-founded RogersHood in 2021, creating ParaFy cleanse kits focused on supporting the body's detox process. Since then, she has built a community of over a million followers and a growing company with 30+ employees and a self-built 10,000 sq ft manufacturing facility. Through her journey, she also uncovered mold toxicity and chronic Lyme as root contributors to her illness, reinforcing her mission to help others explore deeper causes of their health challenges.   SHOWNOTES:

If you want to do your best, you'd better get your rest.The quality of your sleep fundamentally affects the quality of your communication. Communicating well, Dr. Cheri Mah says, starts with being well-rested.“Sleep impacts nearly every aspect of how you function,” says Mah, a sleep physician, adjunct lecturer at Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, and internationally recognized expert on sleep and human performance. In her research and work, particularly with elite athletes and professional sports teams, she explores the link between getting rest and doing our best. “If you are getting quality sleep, you can think more clearly, react under pressure, make good judgment calls, have more patience, be more empathetic,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mah and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for better sleep, from bedtime routines to paying off “sleep debt” to the “nappuccino” — a caffeine-fueled power nap. Whether you struggle to sleep or can nod off at any time or place, Mah's insights reveal why doing our best requires getting our rest.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Cheri MahEp.183 Rethinks: How Anxiety Can Fuel Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:57) - Sleep & Performance (04:11) - Better Sleep Habits (06:16) - Quieting a Racing Mind (07:49) - Dr. Mah's Night Routine (09:19) - Sleep Extension (10:52) - Preparing for Big Events (11:44) - The Nappuccino (13:21) - Managing Jet Lag (15:56) - Chronotypes Explained (18:00) - Starting the Day with Sleep (19:40) - The Final Three Question (23:57) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Today we're diving into the nuanced world of circadian rhythm sleep syndromes, and how biological and environmental factors intersect in shaping our children's sleep. My guest is Alex Mortlock, a registered clinical psychologist who has been in practice since 2010, with training rooted in evidence-based approaches to mental health. Alex will help us unpack what's actually happening when a child's sleep rhythm is out of sync, and why this is so often misunderstood. We talk about practical strategies, the role of light exposure and light therapy, and how melatonin can be used thoughtfully to support regulation.  About Dr. Devon Price Alex Mortlock has been a registered clinical psychologist since 2010, trained at the University of Canterbury with a focus on evidence-based approaches to mental health assessment and treatment. His work is grounded in psychological science, with an emphasis on the interplay of emotion, cognition, and motivation. He uses evidence-based methods to help people make positive changes in their behaviour, fostering an environment of authenticity, acceptance, and understanding. Throughout his career, Alex has had the privilege of witnessing growth and transformation in people from diverse backgrounds — experiences that have reinforced his belief that, with the right support and guidance, everyone has the capacity to flourish. He lives in Christchurch, New Zealand with his wife, who is also a clinical psychologist, and their two over-analysed children. Curiosity, compassion, courage, and flexibility are the values that guide him through the professional and personal challenges that human life presents.   Things you'll learn from this episode  How circadian rhythms shape sleep patterns and why they matter for children's overall health Why conditions like delayed sleep phase, advanced sleep phase, and non-24-hour sleep disorders can disrupt typical sleep cycles How neurodivergence can influence light sensitivity and circadian regulation Why gradual light exposure, environmental adjustments, and low-dose melatonin can help realign sleep rhythms How habits like late-night screen use can interfere with healthy sleep patterns When to seek professional support and how parents can practically support their child's sleep development Resources mentioned Alex Mortlock's website Late Nights, Later Days: The Under-Recognized Impact of Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome in ADHD (Additude Magazine) Reset Your Inner Clock: The Drug-Free Way to Your Best-Ever Sleep, Mood, and Energy by Michael Termin, PhD Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Joint Hypermobility Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (National Institute of Health) Article on Light Boxes (Yale School of Medicine) Light Therapy Visors (results page from Amazon search)   Learn more about your ad choices.

Your body already makes one of the most powerful antimicrobials on Earth, and almost nobody knows about it.Hypochlorous acid lives inside your white blood cells. When you get cut, burned, or scraped, your immune system sends it to the injury site to kill bacteria, calm inflammation, and support healing. Scientists have known how to replicate it for over a century, but until recently, it couldn't stay stable long enough outside a hospital to be bottled.Justin Gardner spent 20 years launching regenerative medical products, including skin grafts and advanced wound care technologies. When he came across hypochlorous acid, he saw something different: a non-toxic antimicrobial that works fast and aligns with how the body already heals. He licensed the technology and built Active Skin Repair to bring it to consumers.In this conversation, we get into how it compares to things like colloidal silver and manuka honey, why most products labeled “hypochlorous acid” don't actually work, and how it's being used for everything from post-surgery recovery to everyday skin issues.For the next week, The Life Stylist loyal listeners can get their biggest discount, 25% off all Active Skin Repair products, when you go to https://lukestorey.com/skinrepair and use code LUKE at checkout.
