Send us a textSupplements are an important tool in today's world where our food has fewer nutrients than in the past, but taking them without understanding why or choosing low-quality brands can waste money and potentially harm health. We explore the top three mistakes people make with supplements and how to choose products that genuinely support your body's needs.• Mistake #1: Relying on supplements instead of focusing on a nutrient-dense diet and lifestyle changes• Mistake #2: Buying supplements without checking brand credibility – 4 out of 5 supplements from major retailers don't contain the herbs listed on labels• Mistake #3: Taking supplements without a clear reason or understanding if they're actually helping• Look for third-party certifications like NSF, GMP, ISO, or IFOS (for fish oil) when purchasing supplements• Consider working with a practitioner who can help identify what supplements will specifically support your needs• Use lab testing to make data-backed decisions about supplementation rather than guessingFREE RESOURCE DESIGNED FOR WOMEN IN SALESUnlocking Peak Performance: A Hormonal Guide for Women in Sales

The Matt Walker Podcast✓Claim Key Takeaways  For every new time zone that you cross, it takes approximately one day for your body to acclimate The difference between circadian rhythm and chronotype: Circadian rhythm is your body's internal 24-hour clock that regulates biological processes, while chronotype is your natural preference for when you feel most alert or sleepy within that rhythmTop sleep tips from the episode:Maintain the same sleep schedule on weekdays and weekendsGo to bed and wake up at the same time, or at least within a 30 min windowReduce effects of jet-lag by taking pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight measuresKnow your chronotype so you can performance-peak at desired times Over 40 NFL seasons from 1970-2011, during night match-ups, the West coast team was two-fold more likely to beat the East coast team This is due to the West coast team's circadian advantage over the East teamLeverage “Sleep Loading”: Before going into a high-stress period or an acute period in which you will be sleeping less, increase your sleep duration in the several days leading up the period of anticipated sleep-loss or higher-stress While it is difficult to “pay back” sleep debt after-the-fact, it appears that you can build up “sleep credit” by front-loading sleep ahead of anticipated periods of high stress and sleep-lossTaking a hot shower or bath 90 minutes before bed can dramatically improve your sleep quality A study conducted using the NBA schedule was able to predict game outcomes with 76-86% accuracy based on travel-induced fatigue criteria – completely independent of strength of team Use the nappuccino to boost alertness and performance: Consume your favorite caffeinated beverage, immediately take a 20-30 minute power nap, then wake up when your alarm goes off and you will be in a heightened state of alertness Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Cheri Mah returns to the podcast today to explore a few different topics including how circadian rhythms shape athletic performance.

In this latest AMA episode, Matt and Dr. Eti Ben Simon tackle even more listener questions regarding any and all aspects of sleep. Today, they discuss sleep tracker accuracy, noting that while nightly data isn't perfect (~75-85% accurate), weekly trends are reliable. Feeling exhausted despite good tracker metrics? Potential causes include fragmented sleep, circadian issues, undiagnosed disorders (like apnea), or tracker-induced anxiety (orthosomnia). Matt and Eti stress consulting a specialist for persistent fatigue and focusing on long-term data patterns.They also explore why many wake around 3:30 AM, linking it to shifts into lighter sleep stages and hormonal changes (cortisol rise, melatonin drop). The hosts explain alpha wave intrusion's link to nonrestorative sleep, theories behind teeth-falling-out dreams (trigeminal nerve activity), and differing sleep onset times (partner variations, potential sleep debt). They also touch upon how antidepressants affect dream recall via REM sleep reduction and debunk precognitive dreams, attributing them to statistics and cognitive bias, not prophecy.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Matt will be the first to tell you that launching his sleep-related merchandise sales was incredibly smooth, thanks to our new sponsor Shopify and their integrated sales and inventory system.

What's Good Famiglia?! How we doin out there?! We're changing it up a little bit this week. I got a chance to chop it up with the homie Ryan, CEO and founder of Doja Pak, at Hall of Flowers in Ventura a couple weeks ago. We had a real dope conversation about the future of worldwide cannabis, and all of the possibilities that come with the new wave on the global scene. It was a very inspiring conversation and shed a lot of light on what's happening outside of California cannabis. We covered everything from the importance of stacking your genetic IP, Doja BCN, what it takes to build a worldwide brand, and how cannabis will be sold from country to country through the GMP.  Watch this one all the way to the end, trust me! Y'all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we're about to take this journey around the world with the homie Ryan from Doja Pak!✌

Dr. Cheri Mah returns to the podcast today to explore a few different topics including how circadian rhythms shape athletic performance. She notes that these 24-hour cycles regulate sleep, hormones, and core temperature, with peak physical capacity often occurring between 4-8 pm—when many world records are set. Dr. Mah also discusses chronotypes, showing how tailoring training to one's natural rhythm can enhance results. She reveals research on circadian disruption in sports, notably how West Coast NFL teams outperform East Coast teams in night games due to a three-hour body clock advantage. The episode also covers jet lag strategies, sleep loading, and managing fatigue, making it a must-listen not just for athletes and high performers, but truly for us all. Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Matt is only too happy to share the fact that launching his sleep-related merchandise sales was incredibly smooth, thanks to show sponsor Shopify and their integrated sales and inventory system.

In this episode of SCW for Pharma, host Evren Ozkaya welcomes Fabrice Le Garrec, Founder of The OSICS Network and a global authority on Lean manufacturing and operational excellence.Fabrice sheds light on the inefficiencies plaguing the pharmaceutical industry, particularly its heavy reliance on outdated processes, paper, and spreadsheets. Drawing comparisons with advanced industries like automotive, he argues that GMP regulations shouldn't be an excuse for inefficiency.The conversation emphasizes the critical role of Lean manufacturing in boosting performance, productivity, and cost savings. Evren and Fabrice point out the shocking disparity in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE): just 35% in pharma compared to 80-85% in consumer industries. Fabrice claims with existing maturity levels almost any pharma manufacturer can achieve a 20-30% productivity boost within the first year of Lean implementation, even without significant investment.  He claims the ROI is clear—optimizing changeovers, eliminating paperwork, and enhancing visibility through digital tools can generate millions in savings annually for medium-sized pharma factories.Fabrice highlights the synergy between Lean practices and digital transformation, noting that their combination can significantly amplify their impact. However, he cautions that digital tools are ineffective unless paired with a problem-solving culture. His advice for digital factory transformation is to start with simple, integrated systems, beginning with enhancing shop floor visibility, and then building execution, scheduling, and compliance systems upon that foundation.With rising tariffs and escalating costs, Fabrice underscores the urgency of optimizing existing sites rather than building new ones. Boosting OEE from 35% to 70% can double output without additional facilities—offering a cost-effective, time-efficient path forward. He also added, tariffs can negatively impact drug prices and availability.

Revolutionary €8 Million EU-Funded Project Aims to Restore Vision for Millions with Cutting-Edge Bioprinting Technology to tackle Corneal Blindness A groundbreaking initiative is set to transform the future of vision restoration with the launch of KeratOPrinter, an €8 million EU-funded project pioneering an advanced bioprinting suite capable of producing fully functional, biocompatible, full-thickness human corneas. A Global Solution to Corneal Blindness Corneal blindness is the third leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting millions of people. Yet, due to an alarming shortage of donor tissue, many patients remain unable to access life-changing corneal transplants. The KeratOPrinter project is tackling this urgent healthcare challenge by developing an innovative 3D bioprinting technology that can replicate the complex structure and functionality of the human cornea - bringing hope to millions in need. Why KeratOPrinter is a Game-Changer Bridging the Global Cornea Shortage: By bioprinting full-thickness, optomechanicallyfunctional corneas, this project has the potential to revolutionize the field of ophthalmology, offering an alternative to limited donor tissues. Real-World Clinical Application: The project integrates Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant workflows and AI-driven quality control mechanisms to ensure consistency, reliability, and safe clinical translation. Economic and Societal Impact: By delivering a scalable, cost-effective solution to corneal transplantation, KeratOPrinter will lower production costs, improve access to treatment, and enhance the quality of life for millions, particularly in vulnerable populations. A European Collaboration Driving Innovation The KeratOPrinter project brings together a powerhouse consortium of nine partners from five EU countries - Finland, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and Ireland. This multidisciplinary collaboration includes leading research institutes, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and industry specialists in stem cell differentiation, biomaterials, bioprinter devices, regulatory affairs, and clinical ophthalmology. The project also features state-of-the-art transport solutions, including portable incubators with active CO? and temperature control, ensuring the safe delivery of living cells and biological samples under optimal conditions. Expert Insights: A Visionary Approach to Bioprinting Professor Heli Skottman, KeratOPrinter coordinator from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology at Tampere University, Finland, highlights the significance of this initiative: "The KeratOPrinter project has strategically assembled a world-class consortium to develop an innovative bioprinting technology capable of producing standardized, biocompatible, and hypoimmunogenic full-thickness corneas in a scalable, GMP-compliant manner." She further adds: "Corneal blindness is driven by a wide spectrum of ophthalmic conditions requiring corneal transplants. However, the severe global shortage of donor tissue is a major barrier to effective treatment. The KeratOPrinter project presents a revolutionary solution, using cutting-edge technology to address this critical medical challenge." A Bold Step Towards Restoring Vision By harnessing the power of advanced bioprinting technology, the KeratOPrinter project is set to redefine corneal transplantation, making vision-restoring therapy more accessible, efficient, and sustainable. With its transformative impact on ophthalmology, this project marks a new era in regenerative medicine.

Our host, Gareth McGlynn, welcomes back Bob Kovacs, Director of Preconstruction at Albion General Contractors, for another insightful conversation. Having previously joined us in 2022, Bob returns to discuss his career shift and key industry topics shaping preconstruction today.Discussion Highlights:

Matt and Dr. Eti Ben Simon team up to answer more audience questions today, and begin by delving into the subjective experience of time during dreams, exploring how our perception stretches and compresses during REM sleep and whether we can hack our dreams. They also explain the cognitive, emotional, hormonal, and immunological consequences of pulling an all-nighter, highlighting the dramatic impact on memory consolidation, stress hormones, appetite regulation, and immune function. The cardiovascular and metabolic repercussions are also addressed underscoring the serious health risks associated with chronic sleep deprivation.The discussion shifts to the societal bias favoring morning types, challenging the notion that evening types are simply lazy. Our hosts examine chronotypes, the “sentinel hypothesis”, and the importance of aligning sleep schedules with individual preferences for optimal health. Matt and Eti then draw the episode to a close by addressing the common phenomenon of night sweats, differentiating between pathological causes and the normal thermoregulatory disconnect during REM sleep.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Tired of untrustworthy protein shakes?

Matt Walker welcomes Dr. Ranji Varghese to the podcast this week for an in-depth conversation about sleep and prescription sleeping pills. A psychiatrist specializing in sleep medicine, Dr. Varghese begins by discussing his entry into the field which was sparked by a fascination with sleep and wake circadian rhythms. He goes on to highlight the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorder Center's focus on parasomnias, particularly REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, emphasizing the intersection of neuroscience, physiology, and psychology in sleep medicine.As you will hear, sleeping pills, prescribed to initiate or maintain sleep, are typically used as a last resort for insomnia after other treatments fail. Dr. Varghese explains they work by modulating brain activity, often targeting neurotransmitters like GABA or melatonin receptors. He details two main classes: benzodiazepines (like Restoril and Ativan) and non-benzodiazepines (Z-drugs like Ambien and Lunesta), outlining their mechanisms, benefits, and risks. His powerful personal anecdote and the discussion of complex sleep-related behaviors underscore the critical need for careful consideration and informed decision-making when using these medications.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Long-time show sponsor LMNT is Matt Walker's go-to for a sugar-free electrolyte mix.
