Most people treat sleep like something that happens to them. Dr. Michael Breus, aka The Sleep Doctor, treats it like a system — one that can be built, optimized, and recovered no matter how badly you've abused it. In Part 2, Dwayne and Dr. Breus move from theory into full practice: the single morning habit that regulates your entire sleep schedule, the truth about supplements and peptides, and why a 78-year-old entrepreneur taking four different drugs to get through the day became drug-free in two weeks and now more productive than his staff can handle. In this episode: The one rule that regulates your entire sleep schedule The three-15s morning routine: 15 deep breaths, 15 ounces of water, and 15 minutes of direct sunlight within 20 minutes of waking — and why vitamin D is a circadian pacemaker The supplement framework most people get completely wrong Dr. Breus's unambiguous position on peptides: lab-use-only compounds are being injected by people who have no idea what the 10 or 20-year consequences are, and the only thing he's ever found that he cannot fix without medication or intervention is physical pain and major mental health issues How Dr. Breus accidentally became The Sleep Doctor: rejected from his first-choice sports psychology program, he sold himself into a sleep track, fell in love with clinical sleep medicine, and never looked back — "You change somebody's sleep, you change their life."

Everything. There's not a single biological function that you don't do better when you sleep.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ 25% of the people that show up on my doorstep, I have them go do blood work. As soon as we fix the deficiencies, they're done. They're gone. They don't need anything. But here's the funny part. Nobody has a deficiency in ashwagandha, right? Nobody has a deficiency in passionflower, right? Nobody.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ God's delays are not God's denials. You know, you thought you wanted to be this, and you were pursuing this expectation or this hope or this dream, but then what you really found was your true purpose.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “Wake up at the same time seven days a week. Notice I didn't say go to bed at the same time. I said wake up at the same time.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ Sleep is the currency of attention. You cannot pay attention to anything if you're not well-slept. ADD, ADHD gets worse when you're not well-slept. You can't focus. Everything depe- this is why sleep is so fundamental to life, is because it's, it literally dictates what you look at, what you focus on, and where you spend your time. It's all comes from whether or not you got a good night's rest.” - Dr. Michael Breus Dr. Michael Breus, Ph.D., is a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist, and one of only 168 psychologists in the world to have passed the Sleep Medicine Boards without attending medical school. Known as The Sleep Doctor, he is the founder of sleepdoctor.com, was named the Top Sleep Specialist in California by Reader's Digest, and one of the 10 most influential people in sleep, and is the author of several books including The Power of When and Sleep, Drink, Breathe: Wellness is Too Complicated. He has appeared on Oprah, CNN, The Today Show, and The Dr. Oz Show more than 40 times, and lectures globally for organizations including YPO and Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within.

One night in El Paso, the cops go into the crowd - and somehow, 32 years later, we're still unpacking what that means.This week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream, the shuffle landed on 'Yawning or Snarling' from "Day for Night" - and it pulled 76% Love It in the community poll. Add in the Like Its and you're sitting at 95%. Not bad for track four on a record that doesn't exactly hand you easy entry points.jD was joined by the most international panel the show has ever assembled: Andy from St. Thomas, Glynn from Melbourne, and Thomas from Oxford - who tuned in at 1 a.m. on his birthday, which is exactly the kind of dedication this community runs on.The conversation went deep. Bass as MVP. The panning of that slide guitar in headphones. The way Gord built entire worlds by changing two words between verses - glaring to throbbing, day to night - and what that does to the light in El Paso, literally and otherwise. Glynn brought a photographer's eye to 'the bladder of light' and the science of bat sonar. Thomas picked up his guitar mid-episode to demonstrate what makes those interplaying guitar parts so quietly unusual. Andy connected the border tension of early 90s El Paso to the cop-into-crowd imagery and made it land differently than it did before. And the chat surfaced a connection between this bass line and REM's 'Undertow' that is frankly hard to unhear.Oh, and the wheel spin at the end? Next week we're talking 'Bobcaygeon.' At the start of summer. So there's that.About the PanelistsAndy from St. Thomas is a Tragically Hip fan whose entry into 'Yawning or Snarling' was sonic first - the vibe of "Day for Night" as a full atmospheric world - before digging into the lyric's snapshots of border tension and hollow men making purchases.Glynn from Melbourne is a travel photographer and educator who leads international photo tours through his company Creative Photo Workshops (creativephotoworkshops.com.au). His visual brain is genuinely one of the great instruments for decoding a Gord Downie lyric. He came to 'Yawning or Snarling' bass-first, and he left having delivered the definitive explanation of Club 101 in El Paso. Find him on Instagram and Facebook.Thomas from Oxford has a YouTube channel (Tommy KL) and a SoundCloud under his name, Thomas De Bock, featuring three Hip covers - including a recording of 'Cordelia' that predates the pandemic. He also plays guitar, and he used it. His breakdown of the interplay between the guitars - and why the slightly-off notes are the whole point - is the kind of thing that makes you want to listen to the song again the second it's done.Tale of the Tape: 'Yawning or Snarling'Album: "Day for Night" (released September 19, 1994)Track: 4Times played live: 56First played: July 1, 1994 - Molson Park, BarrieLast played: August 1, 2016 - Calgary (Man Machine Poem Tour, twice as encore)Resources & ReferencesSetlist data sourced from Hipbase - the essential Tragically Hip discography and setlist resourceLive recording: Brussels, 1994 (Live from the Vault, Vol. 4) - sourced from The Tragically Hip Archive.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST — Where do magazine designers go after all the magazines are gone? That's a question we've often pondered in recent years. Well, if you've been paying close attention, you'd probably guess, as it turns out, a lot of them go to Cupertino. And much of this migration can be traced to 2014, when today's guest, AIGA Medalist and Emmy award-winning creative director Arem Duplessis, left his storied job at The New York Times Magazine to go to work at Apple. You might be asking yourself, "Why would one of America's most high-profile magazine designers leave a coveted job at an iconic publication—one that brought him global recognition, countless awards, and deep creative satisfaction—for a famously secretive company known, well, for locking away its talent in a vault of non-disclosure agreements?" But the better question might be, "Why wouldn't he?" Duplessis is arguably one of the most influential creative directors of his time. His ten years of covers for The New York Times Magazine shaped its vision and identity. As creative director at GQ, he helped create the now-ubiquitous Gotham family of fonts. And he's blazed the trail for print designers in search of digital futures. While the departure of big-name magazine designers like Rem to Silicon Valley may strike fear in some, it reaffirms what many of us have long known: Despite years of slumping newsstand sales and magazine closures, the all-purpose skills of elite creative directors are still very much in demand. As former ESPN creative director Neil Jamieson says, “Why wouldn't Apple be hiring magazine designers? No category of designer is more multifaceted. Beyond the fundamentals, they do branding, packaging, identity, storytelling. They have experience on set, with video, social, and short-form storytelling.” There's no question there's a dire need in the corporate field for these kinds of skills. The question that remains unanswered, so far, is: Can that kind of digital work ever deliver the same creative fulfillment that magazines do? We talked to Duplessis about learning to scuba dive in his Dad's Virginia quarry, the modeling career that wasn't, cutting his teeth at the controversial hip-hop magazine, Blaze, adapting to life on the West Coast, and what he's planning for life after work. — THIS EPISODE IS MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR FRIENDS AT COMMERCIAL TYPE AND FREEPORT PRESS.

Introduction Dr. Arreaza: Hello, everyone, today we continue with our series about sleep. I invite you to listen to Moira Wilson on Episodes 220 and 221 about the approach of insomnia and CBT-I in adults. Today we will discuss not only what to do, but also why it works. We frequently hear advice like ‘get more sleep,' but we need to dig deeper into the physiology behind it. So, Dr. Kim and Dr. Carlisle are here to briefly explain the physiology of sleep and what we can do to support better sleep. But before we start, let's welcome Dr. Carlisle, who recently matched to our program. He will start his residency soon, and Dr. Kim, who will soon become a PGY2, welcome doctors.  Dr. Carlisle: [Introduce yourself].  Dr. Kim: [Introduce yourself].  Dr. Arreaza: Let's start simple. Why does sleep matter clinically? Why Sleep Matters Dr. Kim: Sleep is one of the most important biological processes we have. It's not passive; it's highly active and tightly regulated. It affects cognition, metabolism, immune function, cardiovascular health, and hormonal balance. When sleep is disrupted, you see downstream effects in almost every organ system. Dr. Carlisle: Yeah, and one thing I always emphasize is that sleep deprivation isn't just about feeling tired. It actually puts you in a physiologic state that's very similar to being intoxicated. There are studies showing that being awake for about 24 hours can impair cognitive performance to a level comparable to being above the legal driving limit for alcohol. Dr. Arreaza: That's actually kind of scary when you think about it.  Dr. Carlisle: It really is. Another way to think about it is sleep deprivation doesn't just make you slower; it actually changes how you make decisions. People become more impulsive and less risky. And in medicine, we see that translates into increased medical errors, decreased attention, and poor decision-making. So, from a clinical standpoint, sleep isn't optional; it's foundational. Dr. Kim: Delay caffeine (but not too late), avoid alcohol, and focus on behavioral strategies (put away your phone 1 hour before bedtime).  Dr. Carlisle: And sleep is the foundation of performance. If sleep is off, everything else is compensating. Dr. Kim: And even beyond cognition, even one night of poor sleep can impair immune function and shift hormones that regulate hunger, which is why people tend to crave more food when they're sleep deprived. Dr. Arreaza: I think it's wise to dispel the myth of the “Russian Sleep Experiment”, have you heard about it? Dr. Carlile-Dr Kim: [reaction] Dr. Arreaza: The “Russian Sleep Experiment” is an internet horror story claiming Soviet scientists kept prisoners awake for several weeks using a gas. They developed extreme paranoia, violence, and self-mutilation. Then, the experiment got out of control, the subjects became unrecognizable, they refused to sleep, continued to deteriorate, and went insane. Even though the story went viral in 2010, it is fictional (reaction), with no real evidence that it really happened. So, it is just a made-up horror story. But there are some real studies about sleep deprivation in humans.  Dr Kim: Yes, the most famous case was Randy Gardner (1964) who stayed awake for 11 days. He developed hallucinations, memory problems, and mood changes. He recovered after sleep (no permanent “madness”). Dr. Carlisle: Sure, but as I mentioned before, even one night without sleep significantly reduces performance and accuracy. Dr. Kim: Another myth we fall into is “catching up on sleep”. It is a myth! Sleep Architecture Dr. Arreaza: Sleeping is a state when you reset your brain and your energy, but what actually happens during sleep? Dr. Carlisle: Sleep cycles between non-REM and REM stages. Non-REM sleep, especially deep, slow-wave sleep, is where physical restoration happens. That's when you get growth hormone release, tissue repair, and metabolic recovery. Dr. Kim: And one of the most fascinating things is what happens in the brain during that deep sleep. The space between brain cells actually expands, which allows cerebrospinal fluid to circulate and clear out metabolic waste. Dr. Carlisle: That's the glymphatic system. And what's interesting is that this clearance is most active during deep sleep (Stage 3, Delta waves). It clears neurotoxins like beta amyloid, which is one reason chronic sleep deprivation is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.  Dr. Arreaza: So, your brain is basically cleaning itself while you sleep. The “glymphatic system” is relatively new. It was described in 2010, and it clears substances like beta-amyloid, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Then REM sleep is more focused on brain function. That's where memory consolidation, emotional processing, and learning really happen. Dr. Kim: And REM sleep tends to occur more in the second half of the night. So, when people cut their sleep short, they lose a lot of that REM sleep, which affects mood, focus, and overall cognitive function. What Drives Sleep Dr. Arreaza: So, what actually makes us feel sleepy? Dr. Kim: There are two main processes. The first is the homeostatic drive, where adenosine builds up in the brain the longer you're awake, creating sleep pressure.  Dr. Carlisle: And the second is your circadian rhythm, which is controlled by your brain's internal clock and influenced mainly by light exposure. Dr. Arreaza: So, in summary, one process depends on how long you've been awake, and the other process depends on your body's own timing.  Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. I think of it as pressure and timing. Adenosine builds pressure, and your circadian rhythm determines when that pressure gets released. Dr. Kim: And when those two systems are aligned, sleep happens naturally. When they're out of sync, that's when people start having issues.  Morning Routine Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about practical tips. The morning seems to be a key element in our sleep. What can we do in the mornings to help us sleep at night? Dr. Carlisle: Morning sunlight, without a doubt. Getting light exposure within the first 30 to 60 minutes of waking helps anchor your circadian rhythm. Dr. Kim: And outdoor light is much stronger than indoor light, even on cloudy days. Dr. Carlisle: The mechanism is that light activates specialized retinal cells that signal your brain's clock. That sets the timing for cortisol release in the morning and melatonin release later at night. Dr. Kim: And it also increases dopamine early in the day, which helps with mood, motivation, and focus. Dr. Carlisle: So, you're not just waking up; you're setting up your entire day's physiology. Caffeine and Hydration Dr. Arreaza: Light exposure; I like the idea. That's why phototherapy works for any kind of depression, not only seasonal depression. What other suggestions can you give us about our morning routine?  Dr. Carlisle: Hydration first thing in the morning helps restore plasma volume and improve alertness since we're mildly dehydrated overnight. Dr. Kim: It is also a good idea to add electrolytes to the water. And caffeine timing is huge. If you drink it right when you wake up, you're interfering with your natural adenosine cycle. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, but it doesn't remove adenosine. So later in the day, when caffeine wears off, all that built-up adenosine hits at once, and that's what causes the crash. And that's why some people feel wired but still tired because the underlying sleep pressure is still there, just being masked by the caffeine.  Dr. Arreaza: So, what should people do instead? (I say people because I personally don't drink coffee, and occasionally I drink caffeine) Dr. Kim: People should wait about 60 to 90 minutes before having caffeine.   Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

Chuchotements numériques et ressentis profonds : qu'y a-t-il derrière nos prompts ?Dans ce nouvel épisode de Remède, je vous invite à fermer les yeux un instant et à vous mettre à l'écoute de votre corps. Que ressentons-nous, énergétiquement parlant, lorsque nous interrogeons une intelligence artificielle ? Derrière la technique et les algorithmes, il existe une part invisible — une vibration que notre ventre ou notre plexus saisit parfois avant notre esprit.Nous explorons ensemble un phénomène de plus en plus marquant : l'utilisation de l'IA comme confidente, amie, voire thérapeute de substitution. Si la machine excelle pour nous renvoyer un effet miroir saisissant et mettre en lumière nos schémas répétitifs (patterns), elle est aussi programmée pour une seule chose : nous satisfaire. Et c'est là que réside le piège. Peut-on confier sa vulnérabilité à un miroir qui ne cherche qu'à nous plaire ?Au programme de ce remède de l'âme :L'énergie de l'invisible : Comment notre corps réagit à la douceur ou à la violence perçue des réponses de l'IA.Le mirage de l'IA thérapeute : Pourquoi la déception ou les traumatismes vécus avec certains humains nous poussent vers les machines, et les limites de ce choix.La boîte noire et le miroir : Comprendre la force de l'IA pour détecter nos schémas, mais aussi son incapacité à nous offrir une véritable sécurité éthique.L'approche Humaniste : Comment la sophrologie nous réapprend à nous écouter nous-mêmes pour remettre l'humain au centre de la scène.Un épisode à écouter pour redessiner la frontière entre imiter l'humain et « être » humain.On se retrouve sur camillehavis.com pour prendre rendez-vous ou pour s'inscrire à la newsletter !

Narcolepsy is often described as a disorder of excessive daytime sleepiness, but that description only tells part of the story. Many people living with narcolepsy also struggle with fragmented, restless, and unrefreshing sleep at night; and these symptoms that can look a lot like insomnia. In recent years, researchers have increasingly viewed narcolepsy as a disorder of sleep-wake instability, where the boundaries between wakefulness, non-REM sleep, and REM sleep become less secure. Understanding narcolepsy through this lens helps explain why someone can be profoundly sleepy during the day and still feel like they "can't sleep" at night. In this episode we will:Explore why disrupted nighttime sleep is considered a core symptom of narcolepsy, not merely a side effect Discuss the role of orexin (hypocretin) in stabilizing sleep and wake states and what happens when that system fails Examine the surprising overlap between narcolepsy and insomnia symptoms, including frequent awakenings, vivid dreaming, and nonrestorative sleep Review key research supporting the concept of sleep-state instability as a unifying explanation for many narcolepsy symptoms Consider how treatments aimed at improving nighttime sleep consolidation may help patients feel more alert and functional during the dayTo find out more about this week's podcast sponsor Sleep Reset, please use the following link: https://www.thesleepreset.com/podcastOriginal intro music Vigilanteology by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026) Original outro music Vigilanteology (reprise) by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026)Produced by: Maeve WinterMusic by: Dr. Abhinav Singh (@sleep_vigilante), all rights reservedMoreTwitter: @drchriswinterIG: @drchriwinterThreads: @drchriswinterBluesky: @drchriswinterThe Sleep Solution and The Rested ChildThanks for listening and sleep well!

The STM's recent bus network overhaul, tied to the launch of the West Island REM line, has left some riders scrambling. One of them is Pointe-Claire resident Jaine Orr, who says the agency eliminated the early-morning 211 bus she relied on for more than 25 years to get to work downtown. She spoke to Andrew Carter.

Andrew Huberman Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Andrew Huberman has had a relatively quiet but still telling few days, the kind of stretch that says more about long‑term trajectory than splashy headlines. No major scandals, no viral Twitter wars, but a steady consolidation of his position as a public scientist who is inching closer to becoming an all‑purpose health and performance brand. The most concrete new content is around peptides. On YouTube, the Huberman Lab channel released or amplified a long-form discussion with physician Abud Bakri on the peptide BPC‑157, where Huberman walks listeners through its Croatian origins, animal data on tendon and nerve repair, and the safety controversies around angiogenesis and growth factor signaling, while repeatedly stressing that the data are largely from animal models and that human safety is not established, according to the YouTube conversation with Dr. Bakri. In a companion discussion on Pinealon, he highlights early data suggesting possible improvements in REM sleep and cognition but again frames it as emerging, not settled, science, as shown in that same Bakri collaboration on YouTube. These peptide episodes are biographically significant: they push Huberman further into the contested space where cutting‑edge performance science brushes up against unapproved therapeutics, a place that both fuels his influence and invites scrutiny. In parallel, the Huberman Lab Essentials feed continues to roll out short, highly produced clips distilling protocols on topics such as psychedelics and neurostimulation for brain health, per the Huberman Lab Essentials page. This Essentials packaging signals an ongoing shift from pure podcasting into a layered media product: long episodes for deep‑dive fans, short protocol hits for the habit‑stacking masses. There have been no widely reported major public appearances or new academic appointments in the last few days in mainstream outlets, and no front‑page headlines featuring his name on major news sites. Social media chatter continues at a low hum: fitness creators, biohackers, and endurance athletes keep clipping older Huberman quotes on managing race‑day anxiety, caffeine timing, and circadian habits, but that is recirculation, not new narrative. Any talk of upcoming book deals, new supplement company stakes, or TV projects circulating on fan forums at the moment remains speculation and is not confirmed by primary reporting from major publishers or by Huberman himself. In short, these last days are about consolidation: more peptide discourse, more protocol packaging, and a still‑growing archive that future biographers will mine to chart how a Stanford neuroscientist became a global behavior‑change franchise.

Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining light on wind energy’s brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow Allen Hall: Alejandro, welcome back to the program.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Thank you so much, Allen. It’s a pleasure to be here.  Allen Hall: Well, so last time we talked, you had so much happening at Green Eagle, and it is, uh, amazing to watch the progress there. You’ve been around for quite a while now. You started, what, in 2011 working on SCADA systems. Uh, uh, there’s been a lot of evolution since then. Walk me through, like, the process where you thought, “Hey, there’s a business here.”  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Of course. Uh, we actually started officially back in 2012. It’s been a, quite a, of a long journey to, to get here. Uh, yeah, we started, uh, back, back then. We say it’s a whole new world, right? If we look backwards, like, almost 15 years. Makes me, makes me feel, like, extremely [00:01:00] old. Uh, but ne- nevertheless, um, yeah, back then we were trying to, to cover, like, a lot of issues that were based on OEM SCADAs, which by the way, we still are dealing with. But, but that, that was starting point. It was, um- It was, uh, based on understanding that the, the renewable energy industry is so complex. Every wind farm, every solar plant has different issues, different systems. Even, even the same models from the same manufacturer sometimes have complete different systems, which complicates everything. So it was very exciting to, to start our careers in a, in an industry where nothing is standard and where everyone is looking for something that is standard. So that’s, that’s where we fit in. Um, yeah, and in these years, we, we started basically creating the f- the foundations, uh, uh, on top of, uh, SCADA systems. [00:02:00] But as soon as we had that, those foundations, we realized that this sector is not gonna evolve, uh, it’s gonna cope up with the complexity, uh, of the technical complexity, market volatility, regulatory compliance. That’s not gonna be solved by just having more SCADAs. So we created a layer of automation in place, which is basically what we’ve been, um, evolving in the last 10 years now, um, with the, with the mindset and with the goal that every wind turbine should be running autonomously without having to have people behind it, uh, supervising and taking control of it. Allen Hall: Yeah, and that’s a great founding idea, but that has grown from an idea to you’re automating, what, 40 gigawatts of renewable assets right now?  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Oh, we’re actually now connected to over 70 gigawatts.  Allen Hall: That’s amazing. Alejandro, that’s incredible.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: And all of them are different.  Allen Hall: Sure. So that, that’s a combination– 70 gigawatts is a combination of wind and solar and anything else? Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Yes. [00:03:00] Well, actually, one of the, one of the main, um, needs that we try to cover from day one is to be able to connect to all, um, asset classes. So we understand that, um, the challenge of operating a large portfolio for our customers, um, can only be solved if we have the ability to connect to all type of asset classes. So we can have to connect to wind turbines, inverters, trackers, substations, um, energy meters, you name it. You– we have to connect to every single asset class, um, because what’s important is how you manage that data on top of that and how you react on the anomalies.  Allen Hall: Right. Because I think a lot of operators are now considering taking your model, the Green Eagle model of s-self-operating, but they need that help, they need that insight into the operation of a solar farm or a wind farm or, or any of those assets, renewable assets, ensure those inverter-driven assets. You’re, you’re seeing– I, I think we’re seeing the same thing, which is a lot of operators decide to [00:04:00] leave full service agreements globally, and what do you think is driving that now? Uh, is it a financial decision? Is it a performance decision, or is it both?  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: I think there are many factors, but I think the main driver is the financial aspects of it. I think when you, when you delegate the operations to a third-party, uh, entity They are gonna optimize their services to whatever service level agreement or availability they are committed to. And for that reason, you’re never gonna get– effectively, you’re never gonna get the extra mile. You’re never gonna get any extra from there. Um, and that’s okay when the market is– has great conditions and everything w- is going well. But we are seeing how in the last years we have, uh, a lot of market volatility, negative pricing. Everything is becoming more and more complex, so many projects are actually under stake financially. And I think that’s, um, that’s pressuring everyone to look for opportunities to squeeze their assets a little bit more or a little bit better, I would say.[00:05:00] Um, and part of that is to take operations in-house so you at least you have the opportunity to, to do, um, a better job, uh, let’s say.  Allen Hall: Yeah, and part of what we’re seeing is, at least in the United States and, and globally now, I think it’s, there’s more action globally than there has been on mergers and acquisitions. So an operator that has historically had a particular OEM in wind, you know, say it’s Vestas or Siemens or GE, whoever, Nordex, it could be any of them. Uh, when they acquire another competitor or another farm, they’re bringing in a f- a wind turbine they probably don’t know much about. And, and that’s a huge problem. And, and there’s not a lot of resources for them to grab hold of. Uh, that’s one of the marketplaces you’re trying to fill right now, right?  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Of course. Uh, as I mentioned before, if something describes our sector is that nothing is standard, despite everyone is seeking standardization of everything, right? Uh, but nothing is standard for, [00:06:00] for– and that, that’s the reality. So the first thing when, when you have a portfolio and you are incorporating new assets into it, you need, um, a solution that is able to connect to all type of assets, right? Um, w-we call our solution a three-in-one solution because first of all, it acts as a second level SCADA, so you can connect everything there, uh, everything there, and you have access to all the data across all your assets. Then we have the SCADA automation layer, and then we have the data analysis layer on top of that. Okay. But let’s focus on the operations, which was, uh, your question, right? So you have a new bunch of assets. Sometimes you don’t have any documentation whatsoever, but these are Gamesas, Nordex, a bunch of them from different years. Um, the first thing that we provide is a second level SCADA, so you can connect to all of those. But We have, uh, something that we believe is very unique. So what we provide to our [00:07:00] customers is ability to automate all these assets autonomously. And what that gives you, it’s, um, set of data that can be analyzed, and we can learn from what’s working, what’s not working, beyond what the manufacturer’s gonna tell you to do, right? So we have thousands of General Electric turbines connected to our software, for instance. Um, we know what works, what doesn’t works, uh, what are the faults that can be resetted remotely, what are the ones that are not, what is the success ratio of those resets, ’cause that’s a metric that nobody else has unless you have automation in place. Uh, but we can actually understand, is it working? Is it not working? Is it creating fatigue for no reason to these turbines? So what– we have all this, this, uh, un- this knowledge and this, um, knowhow, uh, for all these models. Um- I believe one of the main, um, value that we provide to our customers is, is not only the, the solution itself, but it’s also the [00:08:00] ability to be somehow prescriptive. It’s, it’s not that we’re gonna know more about how to operate the assets than our customers, but, uh, we have a sense of what’s the benchmark, right? So I, I– And that benchmark is very, very useful for them as well.  Allen Hall: So th- that’s part of getting to scale, and 70 gigawatts is a, a lot of scale, where you have seen a number of turbines in different places operating in different environments and performing at different levels. That’s unique, right? That gives you insight into really what’s happening to a turbine or a solar asset globally and also locally. For a lot of operators that just happen to acquire or, or, or take on a- an older wind farm, uh, they tend to get stuck, right? They, they, they, they don’t tend to be able to, to find their way through those little nuances. That’s a huge financial impact to them eventually, right?  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: It is. And I, and I believe that for many years this was something that in a way got, um– [00:09:00] didn’t get a lot of visibility. I think people were not fully aware of how much revenue, how much production they were losing just because they were not operating their assets at the best capacity. Um, now we have the data to prove what, what better can look like. W- uh, we have data to prove that if you follow the OEM’s, uh, protocols, you may be creating fatigue for no reason. Um, and there are improv- there are ways to improve that thing. So I think it’s, um– We are, we are opening the door for a new, complete new way to operate your, your portfolio and get more benefit from it. Allen Hall: I think that’s a very interesting aspect of the sort of the structural aspects of how a, a wind turbine performs, and a lot of that is driven by software. And you, you realize if you’re paying close attention to the OEMs that some of the software updates are not necessarily performance enhancements. They’re more of protecting the turbine because they realize they may have a problem. So it may be a slight derate, it may be a, a different sort of power curve that happens. [00:10:00] But a lot of operators don’t really sense that that is happening up close because they’re not into the details of that. That’s where Green Eagle separates itself. You are into all those details. And do you have a lot of operators just reach out for help immediately saying, “Hey, I have this Siemens Gamesa or Gamesa wind farm,” think about an older wind farm, a Gamesa wind farm Help. Just please help. Uh, whatever you can do, just show us you can do it. Do you, do you start to run a little test campaign on that site, or do you, or do you go pull back from the 70 gigawatts and 15 years of history to, to show this is what you can do with that particular asset to, to get them involved in a thinking about the problem a little bit differently? Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Well, I wish, I wish it was that way. Um, but what, what– It, it was that transparent, but what happens is that we’re working with the largest, uh, some of the largest utilities and IPPs in the world. So what happens is that they, they will never come to us saying, [00:11:00] “We don’t know how to operate this turbine,” or, “We don’t have enough information.” Um, the way they ask for it is like, “Are you compatible with this?” And, “Do you know… Do you have some protocols? Do you know the standard protocols to run these turbines?” Um, and that’s the way we, we start the conversation, and then they, uh, they, they get confident that we can actually help them with that. We only know about how, how much or how little they know about a specific model once we start working with them. And it’s not all or nothing. I- Ev-Even the largest manufacturer, e-even the largest utilities, their portfolio is constantly evolving. They’re incorporating new sites almost every month. So there’s always one site that they don’t, they don’t have expertise in the, in the house, so it’s, it’s normal. Like, basically not many people have expertise in some of the models from old Nordex or Gamesas or you name it. It, it’s impossible basically to have to understand all models in the world. So I think we [00:12:00] have the, the data, the benchmarks, and experience, and on top of that, the of course, the, the tools, so you can actually operate better those, those assets.  Allen Hall: So the name of your system is called ARSOS, A-R-S-O-S, and for anybody listening to this podcast, you can just Google it, and it’s gonna take you to Green Eagle. What is that product? How would, how would you define or describe that product?  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Well, ARSOS is a suite. Um, what– The way I like to think about it is a, is a three-in-one solution, right? So it’s first of all, it acts, it, it, it fits in between the SCADA world and the REMs, uh, the REMs, uh, solutions. Okay? And they’re complete different worlds even though you see dashboards and they look the same thing. But SCADAs must be, um, must be able to be installed on premises. They require OT enterprise cybersecurity level. They can be, they should be installed on air-gapped infrastructure, so no access to internet whatsoever. [00:13:00]Um, and that they tend to be extremely complex to configure and, and, uh, adapt to every, uh, every different site. So that’s one world. Um, on the other hand, we have the, the REM solutions that are like more like a SaaS platform, like a Power- it could be Power BI, it could be like the, the normal use cases that you need it. You need something, some tools to create the reports at the end of the month to understand the performance of your assets, right? So you have these two, two worlds. So what we are proposing here is a solution that has been built for the past 15 years, but it fits right in the middle. So it covers Almost everything that you need from a SCADA and second level SCADA solution. It puts automation in place, and then it also gives you all the data so you can consume it in the best way, uh, possible, which by the way, now with, uh, artificial intelligence, it’s incredible what you can do with it. So this is basically what we have built, um, right [00:14:00] now. And the main differentiation here is that since we are in the middle, we are trying to solve all this complexity from a SCADA world with a product that is already pre-configured. So you can basically connect to your sites in a completely easy way, um, doing clicks and not a lot of complexity because it’s already pre-made for your needs. Um, because of that, the time to market is extremely much, uh, faster compared to a SCADA solution, so you can have a solution in thing, in hours and not in months. It’s, it’s not a project anymore, right? Which is, which it sounds like normal when you, when you talk about applications, it sounds like a normal thing to do, that you have a, a system running in hours or minutes. But when you’re talking about SCADAs, that’s like sci- uh, sci-fiction, right? Um, that’s what we’re bringing to, into, onto the table. It’s, it’s, uh, something that you can connect to all your assets in a seamless way, painless, and, uh, and, uh, off the [00:15:00] shelf.  Allen Hall: Well, that’s a very interesting way of framing, uh, the product because, uh, you do see both ends of the spectrum here, where y- there’s a number of companies that are offering a c- completely SaaS product, which is a very pretty dashboard, and it still relies on a human to watch this dashboard and, and to make sense of it, and it provides some insight. And then you get to the other side, which is almost a completely mechanical system, where it’s just SCADA data and, and you’re just picking up data for datas, uh, to have, basically. So you, you f- you sort of find that middle ground. The, the, the amount of software and technology that it’s in that space, though, must be huge, and what is the effect of AI bring to you? Does that help you more with just on the, on the, on the model side or just the, the statistical analysis of all the data that you have access to now?  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Let me make a, um, clarification. Because since, uh, we are, we are providing automation [00:16:00] in a world that is mission critical, right? So there’s no, a lot of, there’s no room for creativity or probabilistic approach. It all has to be the deterministic, right? Uh, so when we talk about automation, we’ve always been focused on deterministic automation, so rule-based, uh, automation, and that’s what we have implemented on top of the level of the SCADAs, right? So that’s, that’s the part where you know how to deal with an asset. You have the protocols. You want to understand how they work, but you want to have certainty of what happens if the turbine is on fault and the fault is related to the gearbox temperature and so on. So you wanna make sure that there’s a reset automatically executed only if the temperature of the gearbox is under X threshold. So this very deterministic approach. Uh, but we have, uh, something, um, very unique when we go on the, on the other side, when we go on the side of the REMs. Because we not only have the data of, of the assets, we [00:17:00] not only have statuses, performance, availability, uh, production. We also have the data of how these assets, assets have been operated, right? So we know how much fatigue they have received, how they’ve been operated, um, have they received curtailments or not? How many curtailments? What were the reasons? So we can actually have a 360, uh, degree of all the data, including all the control, not only how they’re performing, but also how we are operating those assets. And we believe that this is very unique because only if you have all these 360 data, then you can actually enhance what you have on top of that. And that is where AI come, comes in, right? So AI, AI is great in, um, helping our customers in doing root cause analysis, um, dealing with anomalies are not well, um, uh, procedure. Uh, there’s no course of action that is clear, that you don’t know. It’s, they’re not like too [00:18:00] frequent to, to have one. Uh, mixing different type of data. Like I mentioned before, you have, uh, market data, you have curtailments, you have, uh, commands to stop or start a turbine. You have a lot of information there, and you can put all together. Uh, also along with the CMMS information. Um- Lastly, they get– they can pull that together to do whatever they need, right? Uh, they can build with AI. You, you can now do your own dashboards. You can create your own APMs if you wanted to. Um, and I like to think about it, like, with these new tools that you can create disposable dashboards. And, uh, the concept is that it doesn’t matter how many different dashboards you have in an APM, but tomorrow you have a, a specific case. And I think it’s amazing that now with AI and the right, uh, data structure, you can now create a dashboard, and maybe it’s just for one use case, you know? And you just build it today, look at the data. You have [00:19:00] a, um, a case study, and that’s it. May– you never use it that again. The trick for being able to, to, to create this ecosystem where you analyze the data in a completely different way is that we have been working on how to structure the data so the AI is gonna be able to understand the data itself. So once that, that layer is structured in the right way, then you can actually create your own APMs or your own dashboards as you need to.  Allen Hall: That’s fascinating. So instead of just thinking of a turbine or a, a solar field as a asset where you’re trying to maximize performance necessarily, you’re looking at it from the marketplace, the, the, uh, the shutdowns, all the, the things that are contr- overriding the performance and trying to optimize performance in this market environment, which may be very turbulent, and I think for a lot of wind operators is very turbulent, uh, at, at the minute just [00:20:00] because of the nature of the electricity grid. So you’re, you’re then thinking about Having an AI tool to help you do investigative work on the particulars, not just the global data set of how this turbine globally operates, but the specifics, that’s fascinating because that allows you then to treat each turbine as its own separate power plant, in a sense, but also to, to think about lifetime issues and how to maintain that piece of equipment in a much more efficient way. That’s remarkable.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: And you have the– With AI, you also have the capabilities to automate all these type of analysis. So once you have a specific, uh, case to be analyzed, then you can automate that case to be analyzed in a daily basis, in a weekly basis. But that’s, uh, that, that’s, uh, that’s, uh, the world that we are moving to. Allen Hall: So a lot of what’s happening at Green Eagle at the moment is being automated and, and making it easy for, for customers to get [00:21:00]onboarded to the RSO system. What does that look like today? Uh, how do, how do I get onboarded? I have an asset of I got 1,000 turbines and a couple of solar fields. What does it look like to get me started in the RSO system with Green Eagle? Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Well, if you’re using our cloud, it’s, it’s gonna be a process of If you have a, a portfolio of 500 gigawatts, you can connect to our, to our cloud in a matter of like one month to two months So that’s something that you can do by yourself. So, um, you can create the assets, you can create the connectivity. The connectivity is done through IP filtering or VPN tunnels. All that is from the, from the dashboards, from, from the cloud. Um, then you can, based on the model directory, you can choose which is the, the assets that you want to connect to and through what channels, whether you have Modbus, OPC, and so on. Um, but that’s a- as complex as, as it gets. Really? It’s n- it’s not easy either, because [00:22:00] you need to understand what is a Modbus, what is a OPC, but that’s what it is. It, it’s not a matter of, like, installing something on site and doing tons of, uh, complex, uh, um, configurations. You don’t need, uh, SCADA engineers to be, like, building these dashboards tailor-made for your sites and, and all that is, is something from the past in o- in our opinion. Allen Hall: So you’re not on the telephone, or you’re not on a, a online chat with the Green Eagle team, because it’s, it’s, it’s– you’ve, you’ve done enough capacity now that you’ve automated this.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: You don’t have to.  Allen Hall: That’s amazing, because I think that’s the first worry for any operator that is gonna make that leap saying, “Hey, I need a little bit of help with this wind farm or this solar site,” is that, “Oh, I gotta be on the phone. I gotta– There’s a lot of im- of onboarding that has to happen,” and you’ve eliminated that.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Well, first, w- I, I totally understand this hesitation. Um, many of our customers are living in, in the, in the SCADA world, right? Uh, and which w- it was probably once a pain [00:23:00] to be configured to begin with, and I think half the sector is traumatized by these processes. So I, I tot- I totally understand that that pain is, is still there, right? I understand that. But what we’re trying to do is to, to move forward and say like, “Yeah, that, that’s gone. That was the past. Now we have a different way to do it.” And if you have, uh, either new assets that you need to connect or you even consider, like, moving to something more modern, something with more capabilities, something that comes with automation in place, uh, well, we have a solution that is painless. Allen Hall: Can I discuss, or can we go back and forth about the, the use of inverter-based resources, the solar and the wind sites, in terms of the, the move from grid following to grid forming and stabilizing the grid? I think there’s gonna be a lot of changes in the way that we operate these assets over the next year. Mostly, uh, I see action in the United States from the Iberian blackout about a year ago. They’re changing the thought process of how they want to run the grid so that the wind [00:24:00] and solar can keep the grid operating. Is– Are you involved in, are you involved in that aspect of how you operate those assets and how those inverters perform and, and configuring them to, to do more of the, of the grid forming and keeping the grid stable? Alejandro Cabrera Muños: I believe, to be honest, this is more related to power plant controllers and hybrid plants. So we have, we have made several projects with, um- With a mix, uh, of, uh, wind, solar, um, and storage. And wh- but what we’re doing here, uh, to be completely honest, we are not involved in the power plant controllers. Uh, we believe that that’s an electrical device and has, uh, uh, particularities that are out of us- our scope. But what we do is to, again, we connect to all asset classes, right? So we also w- connect to the PPCs, and we can monitor the PPC, the performance of the PPC, and we integrate that into everything else, right? So [00:25:00] that’s, for us, that’s another asset that we are connecting to, and that it make– it completes the view of, um, of sites that are now, like, almost like mini portfolios at, at the same place, right? ‘Cause you have, uh, different technologies, service stations. You have so many things that you need to orchestrate as well. So we’re, we’re w- moving into, into that area as well, uh, f- with the same concepts.  Allen Hall: B- so in a, in a sense, you’re able to monitor the health or status of the grid. Because you’re connected to so many of these assets, you have a pretty good understanding of how the grid is doing at any particular moment then. Alejandro Cabrera Muños: That’s right, yeah, especially in, in Spain, of course, ’cause we’re connected to, um, over 25 gigawatts at the, uh, at, in Spain, so.  Allen Hall: Alejandro, that’s amazing.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Over 25 gigawatts at the, uh, at, in Spain. So, so that’s s- it’s almost a third of the, of the installed capacity in Spain.  Allen Hall: Is there a movement in Spain to, to use technology like yours [00:26:00] to better monitor, regulate, control the, uh, wind and solar assets so- such that they stay engaged when, when the, the grid starts to, to vary a little bit? Has anybody asked you to, to be involved with that? Because it seems like you’re the right– you’re in the right place at the right time.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: The challenge of all these grid codes, uh, in, in most of cases is just that There are tons of curtailments that are coming from many different reasons, technical restrictions, market, uh, dispatch, um, other type of compliance. Um, the, the first challenge is to just execute on them, right? So they’re coming, you need to apply on the, on the sites. Um, that was the first, the first phase. But now that we have so many gigawatts connected, and that we’re also participating in balance mechanis- balance mechanisms and ancillary services, what we are seeing is that depending on how your assets perform and how quickly they are in regulating, um, you are gonna [00:27:00] have penalties or more, uh, profitability in the participation of the markets. So that’s, that’s extremely important as well ’cause it’s, it’s quite difficult to, to measure. But we have all the– Since everything is automated, you can always track, and you can statistically understand which of the sites are performing better or worse, in what cases, and therefore you have opportunities to improve the regulation and get more revenue from it. Allen Hall: Okay. So Green Eagle then is, because of the scale that it has at the minute, can look at the grid and is involved in, in the, the grid requirements, so to speak, of, of, uh, curtailments and what assets are operating when, and also the voltage control aspects and frequency control, which is the other part of it. You, because you’re, because you have so many assets in Spain and globally, you, it’s amazing the number of assets you have. You, you then can actually, one, see health of the grid, two, [00:28:00] provide insights to operators on what that looks like. I mean, real time you could, you can do that. And then are, are, are the regulators then coming to, to you asking advice on how these assets should perform? Because it does seem like you would be a tremendous resource on how the grid is actually doing on a larger scale from a renewables standpoint.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Yeah. Well, fortunately, the, the regulator has its own also, uh, system, so it’s, uh, redundant, right? So as far as we, we are working to, to have, uh, the best system in the world, but, but it will be a lot of, uh, responsibility for us to just have the whole grid depending on us. That would be a lot of weight. Uh, but in a, in a way, in, in a, in a way, it already depends on us, uh, effectively. So, so the pressure is, is there. We have, we have talked to them, um, since we have so many customers, um, in the, in the– at this level, uh, we have to be very quick in implementing new grid codes and new [00:29:00] regulatory, uh, compliance issues and, and so on. So that’s, that’s, um… It’s a challenge, but at the same time, it’s, it’s very exciting that we are always ahead in, in this regard.  Allen Hall: Right. If, if I was an operator and I had Green Eagle as one of my, uh, helpers in a sense, uh, assistants in a sense, that helps with the, the grid code i-in terms of, one, understanding it, and two, being able to implement the changes that are coming down all the time. You have a resource there that understands it from a larger perspective because you see it from multiple operators in multiple places trying to do the same thing. That’s a huge advantage instead of you trying to na-navigate or try to understand all those grid code changes and why they’re happening and what it means to you and how do you operate your assets. So you can provide a little bit of guidance there for the operators.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Of, of course. Um, uh, the main, the main value proposition that we can have here for anyone that wants to participate or be part of the Spanish market is that we already have all this figured out. So if you wanna start from the scratch [00:30:00] with, uh, with a SCADA, industrial SCADA, well, let’s, let’s go with, let’s go with that. You’re gonna be probably traumatized in the future, right? Uh, but with us you have an off-the-shelf product that is already compliance. It, uh, h- we have already set, uh, the system certified by the TSO in Spain. So we have already gone through this process so many times, and it’s off the shelf, so you don’t have to worry about any of this. And on top of that, you have the Peace of mind that if tomorrow there’s gonna be a, a, a new change in the, in the, in a new grid code, well, which most likely is gonna happen, um, soon, uh, we have to, we have to do it. Because we have already, uh, a lot of customers that, that, that need it. So for us, it’s actually also, uh, strategic to, to be ahead and be fast in implementing these grid codes. Allen Hall: That’s amazing. That’s such a huge resource for Spain and the rest of the world. Yeah, that’s amazing. Well, I, I know people who are listening to this podcast right now are thinking, “Okay, I haven’t heard of Green [00:31:00]Eagle, but now I’m interested, and I need to f- find out more.” How do they contact you? Where do they go first? What’s the best first step?  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Well, they can connect, uh, directly to me through LinkedIn, or they can just write to sales@greeneaglesolutions.com.  Allen Hall: Great, yeah, and Alejandro’s available on LinkedIn, so you can f- find him there. And we’ll put his contact information in the show notes to, so you have quick access. Alejandro, you gotta come back more often because the, the things that you’re doing with Green Eagle are amazing, and, uh, the, the scale is incredible. Congratulations on that. Uh, and, and I, I, I need you to come back and tell us what the next generation looks like because I know when you guys get ahold of AI and start thinking through some of these real challenging problems, Green Eagle will have solutions. So you’re welcome back anytime.  Alejandro Cabrera Muños: Super exciting to come back, uh, when you invite me. Thank you so [00:32:00] much.

Christina Hagopian has spent 24 years running her own brand strategy and creative practice. In this episode she joins Rick Watson to explain why a brand is far more than a logo: it's what people think and feel about you before your message ever lands, and it has to trace back to a company's actual mission, vision, and values.She and Rick talk through the real and the overstated parts of AI in marketing. It earns its keep on brainstorming, competitive audits, brand voice, and rough first drafts of positioning or naming. It falls down on original, trademarkable work because it leans on the average of what's already out there, and Christina describes a case where it couldn't get something as specific as REM sleep brain waves right for a medical site. Her argument: AI replaces average design, not designers.The Watson Weekly interview is sponsored by Avalara - the agentic AI platform automating global tax and compliance for leading eCommerce brands. For more details: https://avalaratax.watsonweekly.com.The throughline is differentiation. In a crowded digital space, a clear point of view is what gets you noticed, and a strong brand is the foundation everything else stands on. You have one either way. The only question is whether you've built it on purpose.

This week, I'm joined by Dr Nicole Bijlsma for a deep dive into the invisible threats in our homes and how to minimise risk: mold, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), dust mites, and poor air quality, and how they're so often missed by doctors and naturopaths alike.Nicole shared her powerful story of turning personal health battles into a mission to educate others, emphasising that exposure history is the key to uncovering root causes of chronic illness.We tackled the alarming effects of Wi-Fi and baby monitors on sleep, with Nicole's groundbreaking research showing how even adults are impacted by EMFs: disrupting non-REM sleep and increasing insomnia risk within just seven nights.Practical, actionable advice: HEPA vacuums, hard-wired tech, and proper ventilation are non-negotiables, especially in humid climates like Sydney. Nicole also broke down how to manage dust mites, maintain mattresses, and avoid steam cleaning carpets (a hidden mold risk!).There's hope on the horizon: New Work Health and Safety legislation now classifies mold as a biological hazard, giving renters and homeowners stronger rights to demand proper remediation.Nicole's call to action? Educate yourself, document everything, and push back using the right language because your health is worth the fight.This episode is packed with eye-opening insights and tools to help you create a safer, healthier home.

Lucid dreaming is often presented as a modern discovery, but traditions across the world have explored conscious dreaming for centuries. In this episode, I examine what neuroscience has actually shown about lucid dreams, how Tibetan dream yoga reframes the practice, and why magical and contemplative traditions may have understood aspects of the dreaming mind long before the sleep laboratory could measure them.We will look at lucid REM sleep, dream induction methods, dream yoga, magical dream work, and the important limits of reducing these practices to brain activity alone.CONNECT & SUPPORT

We continue our examination of the year 1986 by talking about the albums that were released in the second half of the year. Metal and rap were reigning supreme with releases from Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, and The Beastie Boys, but pop and rock offered up some really strong records as well with major releases from Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper, Berlin, The Pretenders, REM, Huey Lewis and the News, and Sparks. Even The Monkees made a huge comeback for their 20th Anniversary! What's your favorite albums from the second half of 1986? Let us know!

In Italia 12 milioni di persone soffrono di disturbi del sonno: un adulto su quattro. Nel 1942 si dormiva in media 8 ore a notte, oggi siamo a 6,8. Nel frattempo è cresciuta un'industria da 585 miliardi di dollari fatta di materassi smart, anelli che monitorano le fasi REM e app che promettono il sonno perfetto. Il paradosso? La stessa industria tecnologica che produce gli schermi che disturbano il nostro sonno ci vende i dispositivi per monitorarlo. Nel nuovo episodio di Specchio Giallo con ⁠ @sonomiaceran ⁠ , vediamo cosa dicono davvero i dati, perché l'uso degli smartphone prima di dormire provoca insonnia e sonno frammentato, e qual è l'unica terapia che secondo la ricerca funziona, senza farmaci e senza gadget.

Dr. Elliot Justin — emergency medicine physician, serial entrepreneur, and Founder & CEO of FirmTech — joins us to discuss “erectile fitness” and how sexual health can reveal critical insights about overall wellness. Using data from over 2.4 million erections, he explains the connection between erections, heart disease, sleep, aging, and why many ED diagnoses are misunderstood. Dr. Justin also breaks down the limits of ED pills, the benefits of simple alternatives like rings, and why men's health conversations need less stigma and more science.

For a generation raised to admire endurance, Dr. Nicole Moyen makes the case for sleep as a daily form of biological respect. In this conversation, she and David look at why body clocks become more important with age, why sleep regularity may matter more than people think, and why the 3 a.m. wakeup has become such a familiar midlife complaint. Nicole explains the science behind core temperature, deep sleep, REM, light sleep, glucose regulation, hot flashes, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular recovery, including Eight Sleep's research on temperature regulation for peri- and postmenopausal women. The episode gives listeners a practical framework for thinking about the bedroom as an environment that can either support recovery or work against it.Special Thanks to Our PartnerEight Sleep: Our favorite sleep brand helps you rest cooler, deeper, and more consistently by automatically adjusting your bed temperature throughout the night.

Ever wondered how a few weekend drinks or that nightly glass of wine is actually impacting your waistline, your sleep quality, and your hard-earned progress in the gym? Alcohol acts as a poison that forces the body to prioritize clearing toxins over burning fat and building muscle. When we drink, our normal metabolic functions pause, meaning any food consumed alongside alcohol is preferentially stored as fat. This disruption extends into the evening, forcing the liver to work through the night instead of resting. The result is ruined sleep cycles, morning glucose spikes, and intense sugar cravings the next day. To enjoy a drink without destroying fitness momentum, strategy is everything. This includes adding environmental friction at home, choosing simpler, lower-calorie drinks, and keeping food and alcohol consumption entirely separate. Key takeaways The metabolic pause: For every drink you consume, fat burning and muscle building stall for about an hour while your liver prioritizes filtering out the toxins. The fat storage trap: Eating food while drinking causes your body to immediately store those calories as fat, often targeting love handles, the lower belly, and visceral fat. Sleep and recovery destruction: Drinking close to bedtime crushes deep and REM sleep, leaving you exhausted, raising your body temperature, and spiking morning blood sugar. The hidden calorie cycle: Poor sleep from a night of drinking leads to lowered inhibitions and intense sugar cravings, which can add thousands of extra calories over time. Strategic mitigation: To protect your progress, stop eating two hours before drinking, stick to clear alcohols with non-caloric mixers, and wait an hour before eating again. Frequency matters: Drinking three or more nights a week makes weight loss nearly impossible, whereas limiting drinks to one night per week keeps goals within reach.

Summits between US and Chinese leaders are important events. They provide opportunities to discuss sensitive issues, manage friction, and to identify ways to solve problems and promote cooperation where possible. A great deal of preparation usually goes into a US-China summit, involving hundreds of phone calls, virtual, and in-person meetings between US and Chinese officials.   The May 14-15 summit in Beijing was atypical, perhaps not surprisingly since Donald Trump is a very atypical president. Today we are going to talk about the summit – the process and well as the outcomes and the implications for the US-China relationship and American interests.  Joining us today to talk about these issues is Sarah Beran. Sarah Beran was senior director for China and Taiwan affairs in the National Security Council during the Biden administration from 2022 to 2024. She was subsequently deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Beijing. At the NSC, she led strategic preparations for multiple summits between President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. After her 23 years in government service, Sarah joined Macro Advisory Partners.   Timestamps:   [00:00] Introduction   [01:45] Differences in Preparing for the Summit   [03:33] What Was Missing from Trump's Itinerary   [08:18] US and Chinese Objectives for the Summit   [12:30] Constructive Strategic Stability as a Framework   [18:09] Iran, North Korea, and Denuclearization in Chinese Policy [23:55] Tension over Taiwan Language   [29:15] Potential Reactions to Trump Calling President Lai   [30:12] Future of US-China Relations and Ally Reactions 

Dr. Diogo Lara alcançou o topo absoluto do mundo acadêmico e científico. Neurocientista posicionado no top 1% mais citado do planeta, ele publicou mais de 160 artigos e passou 16 anos como professor titular da PUC-RS. Ele entendia perfeitamente a teoria, mas o colapso veio quando ele mudou de cadeira. Em 2010, Diogo desenvolveu um estresse pós-traumático brutal e passou 3 meses se sentindo um morto-vivo, envelhecendo 10 anos em 90 dias. Diante da total impotência da psiquiatria tradicional em resolver a sua própria dor, ele descobriu que a especialidade médica está quebrada. Remédios não curam; eles apenas empilham efeitos para "despiorar" sintomas enquanto a raiz do sofrimento é ignorada.

Host Katherine Bell talks with G. William Domhoff about dreams, sleep, and consciousness through the lens of his book Dreams, Sleep, and Consciousness. Domhoff explains his neurocognitive theory of dreaming, arguing that dreams are not random nonsense, but a form of internally generated thought that reflects personal concerns, imagination, and the sleeping brain's unique activity patterns. The conversation explores several big questions: What are dreams? Why do we dream? How are dreams connected to mind-wandering, sleep stages, and self-awareness? Domhoff also discusses research showing that dream content often reveals recurring waking-life concerns, relationships, and emotional patterns. He shares examples from long-term dream series, including how recurring dream imagery can illuminate deeper concerns even when the imagery itself seems surprising or symbolic. Domhoff argues that dreaming emerges when the brain's systems for external attention and self-reflection are dialed down, while imagination and internally generated imagery remain active. The result is a vivid mental world that is immersive, emotionally meaningful, and often revealing. If you are interested in dream research, sleep science, REM sleep, non-REM dreaming, lucid dreaming, consciousness studies, dream meaning, dream journals, or the neuroscience of imagination, this episode offers a rich introduction to one of the field's most influential researchers and his decades of work. Topics covered in this episode: Bill Domhoff's neurocognitive theory of dreaming Whether dreams are meaningful or simply byproducts of sleep The connection between dreaming and mind-wandering What dream content reveals about personal concerns and relationships How REM sleep, non-REM sleep, and sleep onset relate to dreaming The difference between knowing and self-knowing in consciousness Why dream research matters for understanding the human mind BIO: G. William Domhoff is a pioneering dream researcher who has studied dreaming since 1960. He taught a long running university course on dreams at UC Santa Cruz through 2019 and has spent decades exploring how dreams work, how we remember them, and what they reveal about the human mind. His latest book is called “Dreams, Sleep, and Consciousness: Interweaving the Neurocognitive Theory of Dreaming with New Theories of Sleep and Consciousness.” Contact our guest: DreamResearch.net and Dreambank.net Bill is an invited speaker at the IASD conference which is June 13-17 in Ashland Oregon.

Evelyne Bloch-Dano "Le parfum des années" (Ma nuit au musée. Stock)Évelyne Bloch-Dano va passer une nuit à la Villa du Temps retrouvé, à Cabourg ; un lieu dédié à la Belle époque. Entourée de portraits de femmes, qui tinrent salon ou bien ouvrirent la voie au féminisme et à la liberté des moeurs, de Rosa Bonheur à Winnaretta Singer, de la comtesse Greffulhe à Sarah Bernhardt, l'autrice convoque leurs fantômes, les mêlant à ses propres souvenirs. Remémoration de moments fugaces, d'un éternel présent évanoui. Le parfum des années est un fil tendu entre l'éphémère et l'éternel. Entre le bonheur qui fuit et le désir de le fixer pour toujours.Musique: L'heure exquise, musique de Reynaldo Hahn, dans l'interprétation de Graham Johnson et Martyn Hill.Hébergé par Ausha.

A band that lives in a hearse sounds like a gimmick until you hear the reasons it happened and the work it takes to keep it going. We're joined in the studio by Shaun and Rachel from The Stifftones, a DIY touring duo that turned a full reset into a full-time musical life, complete with two dogs, a rolling home, and a schedule built around small venues, open mics, and the people they meet along the way.We talk through the origin story, from an open mic to a relationship they describe as “best frenemies,” and how that honesty becomes a creative advantage. They break down the practical side of life on the road: dividing roles, handling tension in tight spaces, and learning how to keep moving when the vehicle that carries your entire world decides to quit on you. If you care about independent music, touring logistics, and the emotional reality behind “chasing the dream,” this conversation gets specific fast.We also dig into the album Existentialism on Main Street and how The Stifftones captured tracks across multiple locations and collaborators while staying true to their sound. Along the way we hear about mentors like Johnny Hickman of Cracker, connections to Camper Van Beethoven, the story behind their cover of “Father Winter,” and a wild REM thread that includes a Peter Buck jacket.Listen through to the end for a live performance of “These Times,” then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a push to go all in, and leave us a review.

In this episode, Charles sits down with Mike Bernard, a Boston-area author, screenwriter, and playwright who came to writing later in life and hasn't slowed down since. Mike has published eight novels, written a stage musical, and optioned multiple screenplays through prestigious competitions including the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, the Page International Screenwriting Awards, ScreenCraft, and the Nantucket Film Festival. The conversation weaves together music, memory, friendship, and the creative life — all anchored in the gritty, soulful sounds of the 1970s and early '80s. Mike's live music journey begins with a memorable — if reluctant — first show: escorting his grandmother to see Liberace at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. His real musical awakening came when he saw the J. Geils Band at the old Boston Garden as a teenager, an experience he still counts among his best. The blues-driven energy of "House Party" and "Musta Got Lost" made a lifelong impression, and he draws a sharp distinction between that era of J. Geils and the MTV-era band that followed. Other standout shows include Elvis Costello at the Cape Cod Coliseum — where the opening silhouettes under blue light during "Watching the Detectives" hit him like a gut punch — and an extraordinary 1990 benefit concert at Worcester's Clark University featuring Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and Jimmy Buffett all on the same bill. And for pure comedic gold, Mike recounts the moment a Little River Band guitar pick landed — and stuck — to his bare thigh at the Melody Tent, with zero competition from the crowd for the souvenir. Charles and Mike then discuss Mike's book Concert Dates; a fictional story told in interview form — inspired by Daisy Jones & The Six — that follows six friends who meet at a concert at age 15 and are reunited decades later through a video diary. The backdrop is the Cape Cod Coliseum, a converted hockey rink that hosted an extraordinary run of classic rock shows from 1972 to 1983, including Van Halen, The Clash, Talking Heads, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and J. Geils (twelve times). Mike also shares the remarkable story of connecting with photographer Rudy Childs — a previous Seeing Them Live guest — through a Facebook group dedicated to the Coliseum, only to discover that Rudy's candid parking lot photos included a picture of Mike and his own friends from a Clash show. Listeners who enjoy music, nostalgia, and deeply human storytelling will find Concert Dates — and Mike's wider catalog, including Crossing the Sagamore — well worth picking up on Amazon. BANDS: Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Billy Joel, Bob Seger, Bon Iver, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Eagles (Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit), Elvis Costello, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frankie Avalon, Huey Lewis and the News, J.

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:

The Fact Fly's One Big Question Why does your body force you to shut down for eight hours every single night — and what happens inside your brain while you do? Join Lauren and the Fact Fly (fresh off an accidental cold brew catastrophe) as they investigate the surprising science of sleep! From the "Reading Bug Bookstore" analogy that explains memory consolidation, to the brain's nighttime power-wash system called the Glymphatic System, this episode reveals that sleep is far more than just rest. You'll discover exactly how caffeine tricks your brain with a chemical con, why your brain cells actually shrink while you sleep, and what REM's "Movie Remix Mode" is really doing while you dream of cheese-drum solos. Whether you're following along with the Power-Down Protocol to become a Sleep Hero or marveling at the brain-gunk-flushing Cerebrospinal Fluid, this adventure makes the science of snoozing genuinely fascinating. Perfect for night owls, curious dreamers, and anyone who's ever wondered why the "bean juice" always wears off at the worst possible moment!

From muscle paralysis and sleepwalking, to the power of our subconscious, Dr Sutapa Mukherjee takes you into the secret world of sleep.Dr Sutapa Mukherjee is a sleep specialist fascinated by how the time we spend awake is built on the hours we spend horizontal, and totally withdrawn from the world. She trained initially as a respiratory specialist, but moved into sleep research when she realised how little was known about what happens to us when our conscious mind switches off at night. Sutapa helps people to overcome sleep disorders, like insomnia, sleepwalking and narcolepsy, which can sometimes come with a condition known as cataplexy: when laughter or another strong emotion causes someone to instantly collapse into sleep. This episode of Conversations was first broadcast in 2024The producer was Meggie Morris and Carmel Rooney was the Executive Producer.It explores sleep, insomnia, sleepwalking, narcolepsy, sleep apnoea, consciousness, cataplexy, mental health, physical health, mental clarity, energy, mood, snoring, respiratory illness, mindfulness, anxietyTo binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Click to Send us a text!Testosterone is one of those words that can shut down a serious performance conversation fast, especially in pro motorsports where anti-doping compliance matters. So we make the distinction up front: this is not a steroid or “shortcut” talk. It's a practical look at healthy hormone physiology and why low testosterone can quietly erode recovery, focus, mood, body composition, libido, and long-term vitality for drivers and over-the-wall crew.We challenge the idea that declining testosterone is automatically “just aging.” If it were, every athlete over 35 would slide the same way, and they don't. From a real-world personal story of extreme hormone suppression tied to long COVID to the clinical patterns we see in high performers, we unpack what actually pushes hormones down: inflammation, poor sleep, stress physiology, metabolic dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, alcohol, and total toxic load.Motorsports adds its own pressure cooker. Travel, heat, adrenaline, broken sleep, and constant exposure to exhaust, solvents, tire compounds, and plastics all stack stress. We explain the cortisol and testosterone seesaw, why the body prioritizes survival over reproduction, and how that affects performance longevity. We also dig into testing, including why saliva testing can help reveal free, bioavailable hormones like testosterone and cortisol in a way blood serum alone may miss.You'll leave with a clear, compliant game plan: reduce visceral fat and inflammation, cut back on alcohol, protect deep sleep and REM sleep, use the simple 3-2-1 sleep rule, improve vitamin D and key micronutrients, and lower environmental exposures that act like hormone disruptors.

Stop pretending you're fine on 5 hours of sleep. You're not. On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider bring back Robert Sweetman, former Navy SEAL, sleep scientist, and founder of Sleep Genius, to talk about what actually makes the difference between garbage sleep and real recovery.Rob's approach starts with a concept he calls the sleep dojo. The same way you'd treat a martial arts dojo with respect, structure, and intention, that's how your bedroom should work. Take the fights out of it. Take the scrolling out of it. Take the laptop, the TV, and the phone out of it. And then start paying attention to the physical environment: light, sound, and temperature.Rob walks Jon and Will through the neuroscience of why blue light kills melatonin production, why a 35-decibel noise spike can wreck your sleep cycle without waking you up, why 65 to 69 degrees is the sweet spot for your bedroom, and why eating close to bedtime leads to visceral fat because melatonin blocks insulin. He also drops the truth about THC and sleep... it kills your REM. Will was doing sober October and says his REM numbers have already gone up.Jon talks about going through Rob's 62 Romeo sleep course and how it changed his sleep habits. Rob explains his work building sleep pods for the military and writing a memo to the Secretary of Defense on weaponizing wellness for the warfighter. And the episode wraps with Rob offering to sign copies of his book, 62 Romeo Sleep 101, for listeners who comment on the episode.What you'll hear in this episode:The sleep dojo concept and why your bedroom needs the same respect as a martial arts dojoWhy blue light, noise spikes, and warm bedrooms are wrecking your recoveryThe link between late eating, melatonin, insulin, and visceral fatWhy THC eliminates REM sleep even when it feels relaxingDeep sleep vs. REM sleep: aim for 90 minutes of eachWhat orthosomnia is and why obsessing over sleep data makes things worseRob's military sleep pod project and what it means for warfighters in austere conditionsThe 45-minute wind-down routine that preps your body for real sleepRob's book: 62 Romeo Sleep 101 (Amazon, $10) Rob's website: sleepgenius.us Rob's platforms: LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, TwitterSign up to learn more about the Awareness to Action course here: https://focusnowtraining.com/a2a-course-interestHosted on Ausha.

Bryce sits down with former Navy SEAL turned physician Dr. Kirk Parsley for a powerful conversation on sleep deprivation, nervous system overload, recovery, and the hidden cost of high performance culture.After serving as a SEAL operator, Kirk returned to the teams as a physician and discovered a growing problem inside Naval Special Warfare:Some of the toughest men on the planet couldn't sleep.This episode explores what chronic stress, hyper vigilance, deployments, cortisol overload, and sleep deprivation actually do to the brain and body. Bryce and Kirk dive deep into SEAL culture, hormone disruption, recovery, modern hustle culture, sleep optimization, and why so many entrepreneurs today are unknowingly living like overstressed operators.If you've been waking up exhausted, wired at night, dependent on caffeine, struggling to recover, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will hit home.Topics include:• Hell Week and sleep deprivation• SEAL culture and nervous system dysregulation• Cortisol, testosterone, and hormone health• Why sleep medications became common in operators• Sedation vs restorative sleep• Stress addiction and modern hustle culture• Sleep optimization protocols• Circadian rhythm, light exposure, and recovery• Why recovery is a performance tool, not a weaknessThis conversation is a reminder that performance without recovery eventually becomes survival.⸻Key Takeaways• Sleep deprivation impacts cognition, hormones, mood, and recovery• You cannot outwork poor sleep• High performers often struggle to down regulate their nervous systems• Deep sleep and REM sleep are essential for recovery and performance• Recovery is one of the most overlooked aspects of modern health⸻Quotes From The Episode“The mission ended, but their nervous systems never got the message.”“You can override biology for a while. Eventually biology wins.”“Most people are not underperforming because they lack motivation. They're under recovered.”“Sedation is not the same thing as sleep.”⸻Timestamps00:00 Intro03:14 Kirk's journey from SEAL operator to physician09:02 Hell Week and sleep deprivation17:48 Why Navy SEALs struggle with sleep26:33 Cortisol, testosterone, and hormone disruption35:40 Sleep medications and nervous system overload44:12 Sedation vs restorative sleep52:27 Modern hustle culture and burnout1:01:16 Simple sleep optimization protocols1:11:04 Recovery, longevity, and sustainable performance⸻Connect with Dr. Kirk ParsleyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirkparsley/Website: https://docparsley.com/⸻Connect with ALLSMITHInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/allsmithco/Bryce: https://www.instagram.com/therealbrycesmith/Website: https://www.allsmith.coSubscribe to ALLSMITH on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts for weekly conversations exploring mindset, fitness, wellness, recovery, and the pursuit of a deeply aligned life.Thank you for Listening!

A question I get often is: “How do I know if EMDR might be right for me?” In this episode, we break down what EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) actually is, who it can help, and what a session really looks like. Originally developed to treat PTSD, EMDR is now used to support people struggling with birth trauma, childhood experiences, anxiety, panic, phobias, depression, parenting triggers, and more. You do not need a formal diagnosis to benefit from it. Many parents come in simply feeling reactive, overwhelmed, or triggered in ways they do not fully understand. We discuss: • How trauma and intense experiences are stored in the brain • Why certain parenting moments can feel disproportionately triggering • What “reprocessing” actually means • The science behind bilateral stimulation and REM sleep • The phases of EMDR therapy • What safety and preparation look like before starting • What a session may involve, including eye movements, tapping, or tones • Why EMDR is about healing, not retraumatizing Want more?
