Sleep is one of the most critical yet often overlooked components of health, performance, and overall well-being. Poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep can disrupt circadian rhythms, impair glucose metabolism, and alter hunger signals, leading to increased food intake, reduced insulin sensitivity, and other undesirable outcomes. In this episode, we bring together expert discussions from some of the leading researchers in sleep science, to explore what defines high-quality sleep, the mechanisms behind sleep regulation, and the factors that influence sleep-wake cycles, from light exposure to psychological stress.

Dr. Potter values helping people feel great and do good. He knows how hard it can be to thrive nowadays, and lots of us try our best to understand what we should be doing to look better, perform at a high level, and be happy and well.  But, achieving this is often elusive, for many aspects of modern life — grueling work schedules, fast food, physical inactivity, social isolation, pollution and so on — are at odds with the behaviors and conditions our bodies need to function optimally.  Let's be honest: There's a lot of nonsense about health out there too! Dr. Potter helps empower people to make simple and sustainable lifestyle changes that add years to their lives and life to their years.  To this end, here are some of his qualifications:  He did my undergraduate and master's degrees in exercise science at Loughborough University His PhD research at the University of Leeds focused on sleep, circadian rhythms, nutrition, and metabolism.

Wonder Woman is perhaps the most iconic female character in comics and one of the few superheroes to remain in continuous publication since the Golden Age, but Diana of Themyscira has had an uneven and somewhat rocky creative history. Following Crisis on Infinite Earths, George Pérez took it upon himself to radically reinvent the character with co-plotter and scripter Greg Potter, emphasizing her mythological roots and attempting to address the patriarchy and its impulse to war. We look at the first seven-issue arc, "Gods and Mortals," and how it establishes a new status quo, engages with late-Cold War nuclear fears, and tries to solve DC's longstanding “Wonder Woman problem.”

We're continuing the conversation this week with Greg Potter, PhD., but with a plot twist. We've had Greg on the podcast many times discussing all facets of sleep and circadian biology, but today the topic is low back pain.  Greg has had personal experience with this problem since the age of 12 and has devoted extensive time and effort to researching and trying various treatment methods to find relief for himself and his coaching clients. He's quick to admit he's not an expert in low back pain, but it's clear he's well-versed on the topic. Greg thoroughly examines low back pain in this podcast, including causes, treatments, and scientifically-validated approaches for relieving chronic discomfort. He discusses time-tested treatments and cutting-edge options, including therapies, exercises, and supplements.

Today we return with the second half of our two-part interview with Dr. Greg Potter, a British researcher who specializes in circadian biology, sleep, diet, and metabolism. In this second part of our interview, host Ken Ford and Greg continue their conversation about circadian biology and cover topics ranging from insomnia, sleep apnea, time-restricted eating, exercise, nutrition, and supplementation. In part one of our interview, episode 136, Ken talked to Greg about how he became interested in circadian biology and the importance of synchronizing our lifestyles to be in tune with our circadian rhythms. Greg also explains why he decided to specialize in sleep and what his research has taught him about the role and importance of melatonin, a hormone that helps control the body's sleep cycle. Dawn Kernagis was traveling during our talk with Greg and couldn't join Ken to co-host the interview.  Greg gained attention in the U.S. and Europe for his research into the importance of biological rhythms and sleep and how they affect people's lives. His work has been featured in the BBC World Service, the Washington Post, Reuters and other scientific journals and news outlets. In addition to being a science writer and sleep consultant, Greg also is an entrepreneur who co-founded Resilient Nutrition in 2020, a company that leverages science to produce foods and supplements geared toward helping people feel and perform better. Greg earned undergraduate and master's degrees in exercise science from Loughborough University in England a Ph.D. from the University of Leeds. Show notes: [00:03:12] Ken opens part two of our interview with Greg by asking him about continuous positive airway pressure machines, known as CPAPs, that are used for sleep apnea and related disorders, and how these devices relate to circadian rhythms and quality of sleep. [00:05:47] Ken brings up chronotypes, the concept that some people are better suited to an earlier or later sleep schedule. Ken goes on to say that during our interview with Satchin Panda, he argued that chronotypes are largely a myth. Ken asks Greg how much he thinks chronotypes are the product of environment as opposed to evolutionary biology and genetics. [00:10:27] Ken asks what an example would be of an advanced chronotype. [00:11:54] Ken asks Greg about chrononutrition, which is the relationship between a person's nutrition and their body clock. [00:20:46] Ken mentions that muscle protein synthesis comes up as a problem for people getting older who begin a fasting diet which is generally good for their health but prevents them from maintaining or gaining substantial muscle mass, as their protein demands are higher than they were in youth. Ken asks Greg his thoughts on a pulsatile approach to fasting and protein intake for this cohort. [00:23:39] Ken asks Greg about chronopharmacology, what it is and how it might tie into nutrition. [00:25:21] Ken asks Greg to explain his stance that we should re-engineer our lifestyles to better mimic certain aspects of our distant ancestors to protect ourselves from chronic diseases and revive the kinds of energy we had as children. Greg explains what aspects of our ancient ancestors we ought to emulate. [00:29:07] Ken mentions a paper Greg published on sleep and bodyweight, and asks Greg to expound on the relationship between sleep and weight regulation. [00:33:54] Ken asks if Greg thinks it is true that there is now an “epidemic” of sleep loss. [00:36:57] Greg gives a list of advice for people to optimize their sleep. [00:40:57] Ken mentions that many people enjoy a little wine or other drink before bed because they feel as if it helps them fall asleep. Ken asks Greg to talk about how this can damage a person's sleep. [00:43:52] Ken asks when people should go to bed, and how much sleep is needed for a person on average, and how much variation there is in the quantity of sleep needed between people.

Show notes: [00:05:03] Ken opens the interview asking if it's true that Greg's curiosity and fascination with building things as a child led him to tell his uncle he wanted to be an engineer when he grew up. [00:06:22] Greg talks about how he and his older siblings lived on the campus of the school where their parents taught. [00:07:35] Ken asks Greg why he abandoned the idea of being an engineer and instead applied for an art scholarship to senior school. [00:08:28] Ken asks what kind of art Greg liked to make. [00:09:17} Ken asks how a rugby injury in Greg's childhood sparked his initial interest in science. [00:10:33] Ken asks why Greg took a year off before attending university, and what he did during that time. [00:11:04] Greg talks about his first experience with research, which came during a physiological society studentship in his second year of university, where he worked under Dr. Johnathan Folland. [00:12:59] Ken asks about Greg's experiences as an undergrad when he coached sprinters and worked as a personal trainer and massage therapist. [00:14:18] Ken mentions that Greg must have been a good coach because in addition to training sprinters, he also helped two men break the Atlantic Rowing World Record.

The Great Britain Olympic Team used Loughborough as its base. Greg talks about what a great experience that was for him as a recent graduate who had an interest in elite athletic performance. [00:16:42] Ken asks about Greg's experience in between his undergraduate and graduate studies, where he took an internship in the sports science and sports medicine department of the Rugby Football Union. [00:17:36] Ken mentions that while at Loughborough pursing a master's degree, Greg began to pay more attention to the role of biological rhythms and sleep in people's lives.

We've decided to do a series of episodes on the fundamentals of good health - each containing the best practical information we've come across for improving the quality of your life and achieving your goals. We're focusing on the most commonly asked-about areas, such as stress and hormesis, movement and exercise, and diet and nutrition. Today we're kicking it off with a discussion about one of the most important, often the most frustrating, and easily the most overlooked pillar of health: sleep. On this podcast, Megan Hall and Clay Higgins draw from their years of combined health coaching experience to bring you their best advice for getting great sleep. They explain why you should care about the quality of your nighttime routine, and they discuss the impact of light, food and exercise on your ability to sleep well. They also share their opinions on supplements and technology designed to enhance sleep and talk about some of the more common behaviours that can lead to insomnia.

The relationship between our diet and sleep is bi-directional; i.e. sleep impacts diet and diet impacts sleep. Therefore, we can examine the impact of sleep timing, duration and other dimensions on our dietary intake. And then also examine the impat of both overall diet and specific nutrients on improving/worsening sleep. The is clear evidence of distinct, acute effects of restricted sleep time on food preferences, eating behaviour, energy intake, and our underlying metabolic physiology. When it comes to the ability of certain foods or nutrients to improve sleep, often many claims are based on weak evidence or mechanistic reasoning. But there is evidence showing some impacts of certain compounds to either positively or negatively impact sleep. So what is the accurate way to look at this bi-directional relationship? In this episode, Greg Potter, PhD discusses the evidence to date. Dr. Potter received his PhD from the University of Leeds, where his research focused on circadian rhythms, sleep, nutrition, and metabolism. In this episode: 03:15 - Sleep architecture and dimensions of sleep 10:29 - Influence of sleep on diet 35:11 - Chronotypes 53:26 - Impact of diet/meals on sleep 59:50 - Supplements like melatonin and tryptophan 1:20:27 - Rescuing a poor night's sleep - caffeine and nootropics 1:40:31 - Key Ideas segment (Premium only) Click here for show notes.   Click here to subscribe to Sigma Nutrition PREMIUM.

You know it, I know it, we all know it: sleep is crucial. Sleeping less than 7 hours a night is associated with many health-related problems, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. On top of that, consistent sleep loss can affect your physical capabilities as well, including cardiovascular fitness and strength. Knowing this won't help you sleep better, though. Lifestyle factors such as working prolonged or irregular hours, social commitments, and family responsibilities can all contribute to inadequate sleep. In this episode, Greg gives us plenty of practical tips for better sleep, and in turn, better gains and better life. . . . _______________________ Greg Potter Ph.D. has a master's degree in Exercise Science from Loughborough University, and he did his Ph.D. on circadian rhythms, sleep, nutrition, and metabolism, at the University of Leeds.

After spending 15 years working in the data, insights and technology space at Accenture, he combined his passion for human performance with his technology experience to found Optimal Human Performance, a company that works with scientists and coaches to help individuals and teams test the limits of their abilities, often in extreme environments. It was this experience and getting to work with his co-founder, Dr Greg Potter, that lead to the creation of Resilient Nutrition. Greg Potter leads the development of Resilient Nutrition products. He has a PhD in nutrition, circadian rhythms, sleep, and metabolism, and an MSc and a BSc in sports science.

Greg, whilst not low carb or keto, focuses on nutrition, exercise and sleep and appreciates that all aspects of lifestyle influence how we feel and how we function. Together they created a product to help two rowers cross the Atlantic in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge that was nutritious, energy-dense, easy to digest foods that will be stable without a fridge for several weeks at a time.

Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Lisa and Richie talk with this week's Everyday Rockstar. You can send your nominations to thelisashow@byu.edu.   Chrononutrition (0:06:45) Did you know that the timing of your meals may be more important than you think? A new health trend is on the rise called chrononutrition, a regiment that focuses on your body's natural sleep schedule and eating when your hunger and internal rhythm line up just right. So what exactly do our internal clocks have to do with our diet? Joining us on the show today is Dr. Greg Potter, a doctor who focuses on chronobiology, here with us to discuss how when we eat may be just as important as what you eat.   Officer Clemons (0:19:33) Won'tyou be my neighbor? For many of us, those words bring to mind the image of Fred Rogers in a sweater and sneakers broadcasting messages of kindness, acceptance, and empathy as part of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. And those messages are just as important today. But Mister Rogers' was also involved in a larger conversation about race. He challenged ideas of segregation, injustice, and inequality like, for example, in the famous pool scene where he washed his feet with Officer Clemmons, played by Francois Clemmons... the first African American actor to have a recurring role on a children's television program. Francois' book “Officer Clemmons: A Memoir” was recently released, and he joins us today to discuss his book, Mister Rogers, and his role as Officer Clemmons.   Science Fiction: Dream or Prophecy (0:38:00) Science fiction books and movies are some of the most popular pieces of entertainment out there: consider Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Avengers just to name a few. They inspire us to dream about what our futuristic world might look like. Could we one day fly around the universe as part of our daily commute or use light sabers to fight off bad guys? Thinking about the technology that might someday exist is exciting! But even more exciting is seeing those gadgets from science fiction become reality like bionic hands for amputees or electric cars. But who is inspiring who? Do science fiction writers shape the future of technological advancement, or are they just good at predicting the future? To help us discuss this we've invited Charlie Jane Anders onto the show, a science fiction author, speaker, and journalist.   The Power of Music (0:52:47) We all have our favorite comfort songs, songs that we like to listen to when we're down. Maybe you like to listen to sad music so you feel validated in your feelings. Maybe you need an angry, heavy metal song you can scream along to. Or maybe you enjoy happy songs that pull you out of the gutter.  Whatever you choose to listen to for comfort—you can't deny that music seems to have almost a magic power to help us feel better. Why is that? Here to talk with us all about how music can heal us and improve our mood is music therapist Brian Jantz.   Onyx: Celebrating Black Women in Sports (1:15:51) The amazing black female athletes among us aren't celebrated as often as they should be. These inspiring women tend to be overlooked. We've heard of Venus and Serena Williams as well as Simone Biles, but what about the many other women of color breaking records and doing great things on the court, the beam, or the field? One media company called GoodSport is working to change that. They're highlighting the stories of black athletes on their latest program that comes out mid-July called Onyx: Celebrating Black Women in Sports. The host of the show, Monica McNutt, joins us today to discuss its mission and some of the stories. She's the former captain of Georgetown University's basketball team and a sports reporter.   How Dark Times can Spark New Beginnings (1:28:16) We all face moments in our lives when we have to decide how we're going to let a situation mold us. Will we let our trial by fire moments make us stronger and more refined or will we allow them to make us bitter and hopeless? Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Likewise, I think nothing and no one in this life can make us give up or feel hopeless without our permission. So how do we push through dark times or even tragedies? Today, we're speaking with author Brian P. Walsh about his experience as a young firefighter who experienced extreme trauma after getting caught in a burning building. He joins us to discuss how adversity can spark new beginnings.

#056 - Studying Preindustrial Societies Informs us About How to Be Healthy - Herman Pontzer

humanOS Radio

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 16, 2019 26:27


For the vast majority of human history, our species lived hunter-gatherer lifestyles. We can therefore learn much about how humans probably once lived by studying preindustrial societies. Research on preindustrial societies has consistently shown that these people have exemplary metabolic health. And when we consider that modern humans are succumbing to chronic diseases at an alarming rate, we clearly have much to learn from preindustrial people. In this episode of humanOS Radio, Greg Potter speaks with Professor Herman Pontzer about what Herman has learned from his research on hunter-gatherers. Herman's findings led him to develop the counterintuitive hypothesis that how physically active we are each day may scarcely affect how many calories we burn… … no, I'm not kidding. As he explains in the podcast, however, this hypothesis in no way discounts the importance of being physically active – far from it! Tune in for more on Herman's fascinating research on physical activity, diet, and more.

So much of the discussion on nutrition is about the food itself. What's discussed far less regularly is the impact of food timing, fasting periods, and meal skipping on the same outcomes we're interested in when we talk about saturated fat, carbs, fiber, etc. It turns out, there is a whole lot to discuss here that matters for human health. In this episode, Dan speaks with two topic experts - both with several peer-reviewed scientific publications related to the subjects discussed in the episode - and both of whom are collaborators on humanOS.me. Enjoy the conversation.
