Podcasts about N4

Most women think poor sleep is inevitable as they get older. It isn't. It is your stress hormones, your cortisol cycle, and a specific stage of deep sleep called N4, and all three can be addressed.  I sit down with Dr. Juliane Hellhammer, a psycho-neuro-endocrinologist specialising in stress and sleep, and what he shares will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about rest and recovery. If you have ever woken at 2am with your mind racing, struggled to feel recovered no matter how much sleep you get, or wondered whether your wearable is actually telling you the truth about your sleep quality, this episode gives you the science and the solutions. Because what if the sleep stage that matters most is the one no one is talking about? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why perimenopausal women wake up at 2am and what is actually driving it • What N4 deep sleep is and why it matters after 40 • What destroys deep sleep quality in perimenopausal women and how to fix it • Can wearables accurately measure deep sleep stages • What poor sleep does to brain fog and fatigue in perimenopause • Why trying too hard to sleep is keeping you awake • What genuinely high quality sleep looks like TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Why Deep Sleep, Stress & Sleep Duration Matter in Perimenopause 07:48 Why Trying Too Hard to Sleep Is Destroying Your Deep Sleep 13:26 What High Quality Sleep Really Looks Like and The Ancient Ingredient That Improves It 23:20 Why You Wake Up at 2–4am in Perimenopause and How to Fix It 27:34 Top 3 Evidence-Based Upgrades for Sleep and Recovery 30:25 How to Use the Sleep Well Supplement for Best Results VALUABLE RESOURCES •  Take the BioSyncing Quiz to help you understand what's actually happening in your body and how to fix it.

Starting his career in 1987 as a Distributor Account Executive with AVEDA, Jeffery quickly earned a reputation for enhancing the retail performance of salons he served. His efforts caught the attention of ED Wyse Aveda of the Pacific Northwest, who recruited him in 1991 to elevate their business to the next level. In 1993, Jeffery transitioned into the manufacturing sector as Sales Director at ABBA Pure & Natural Hair Care, where he successfully established and managed major distribution channels. Following ABBA's sale in 1996, he acquired and operated Rocky Mountain Salon Consultants until 1998, further solidifying his expertise in distribution and sales management. Jeffery then expanded his horizons by working with Join Soon Electronics MFG, a cutting-edge connectivity and wireless technology manufacturer. This experience proved invaluable in 2000 when he was approached by Jim Markham, co-founder of ABBA, to develop a new professional hair care brand that eventually became Pureology. Jeffery served as Vice President and Co-founder of Pureology until its acquisition by L'Oreal in 2007. In 2007, Jeffery launched Aspire Salon & Spa in Scottsdale, AZ, and through his consulting firm, JKO International Consulting, Inc., he facilitated distribution for brands like FHI Heat and became a partner with Enjoy Haircare. He also founded NEUMA, pioneering a clean, sustainable professional hair care brand introduced to the salon industry in 2010. Today, NEUMA is distributed across North America, the EU, LATAM, APAC, Amazon, and NEUMABEAUTY.COM. In 2020 with the purchase of his former Pureology business partner, Cosway Beauty Brands, LLC, was formed, an umbrella company, managing, NEUMA, ColorProof and N4 professional hair care brands. In addition to being the founder of NEUMA RESEARCH, LLC, Jeffery continues to serve as COO of Cosway Beauty Brands, LLC.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We had loads of fun in this conversation. Robert Wagonner joins us from his home in the Midwest. He is a veteran lucid dreamer, having taught himself how to do it in the '70s and never looked back. Robert elaborates on the lucid state as being an educational system. He discussed "buzzing" while having an out of body experience as a young boy, his brother's book and the Monroe Institute, flying through his neighborhood, house cats and mountain lions. We hear about the mysterious "N4" (144), the mentally mediated realm, following the creativity and the blue light. We explore the magic of goofiness, fear, becoming an electron, the search for inherent evil, Daoist societies, "going the distance" and the voluntary death experience. What a trip.

391 Stories and Connection It is vital to our own communities that we remember our stories and share them with one another, not to dwell on regrets and what ifs, but to reach out and connect with one another so that we all can learn and grow together, and hopefully create more grand stories on the paths we walk together. In this revisited episode, Sarah Elkins and Lee Keylock discuss their own stories and how they have healed through sharing stories and listening to the stories that others share with us.   Highlights Connecting with people through sharing stories. Healing from trauma through stories and the community that sharing those stories creates. The changing paths our decisions create and how we should live in the moment and not dwell on what ifs. Greet the world and the challenges offered with open minds and a willingness to learn.   Quotes “No regrets. Life is sliding doors right? If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.” “We're perpetual students, right? I've never approached anything I've ever done as an authority on anything.” “It's not enough to just hear stories. That can be brilliant and beautiful and life changing and you can have those moments, but when we work with youth we want them to think about how they can use stories to think about themselves, their communities, and the world and their place in it, and how they can become agents of change.”   About Lee Lee Keylock is Director of Global Programs at Narrative 4 and oversees the coordination and administration of all aspects of N4's ongoing programmatic development. Originally from Britain, Lee immigrated to the United States in 1989 and taught English at Newtown High School in Connecticut for thirteen years. He has served as an adjunct professor teaching Creative Writing and Composition at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, where he also earned his MFA in Creative Writing.  Connect with Lee on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram! And make sure you check out his website Narrative 4!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

For decades, semiconductor fabs tolerated—and even expected—bad yields. Less than 50%, sometimes as low as 10%. Credible die yield data is rare, but here's a market analysis from the late 1980s for the US Trade Representative during the US-Japan semiconductor dispute. It implies that when American and Japanese firms began 16K DRAM in 1978, yields were about 2%. Laughably low, but expected. And they stayed low. By 1984, US 16K DRAM yield hit 36%. Japan: 48%—better, still bad. Six years later! Now look at TSMC's N5/N4 node, about 4–5 years old. Trade secrets, but N4 yields are around 80%. What's going on? 6-micron process vs. 4-nanometer. The latter is far harder. Yet we're hitting 80–90% yields. Is it a conspiracy? No—the fabs opened their third eyes. With new tools, they began inspecting and improving. In this video: how automated inspection tools revolutionized chip fabrication.
