"The only animal on this planet that sleep deprives itself on purpose is us. It makes evolutionary sense that our brains perceive lack of sleep as famine or threat because there's some kind of stressor going on. That is why people who don't sleep well or don't sleep enough have higher amygdala tone and higher stress hormones." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Benefits of Sleep "It takes 8 hours to recover from being awake for 16 hours. The benefit of sleep is the hormone production, the repair, the acceleration of your immune system, the consolidation of memories, the categorization of emotional events." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Your Brain Creates Waste Products "When you go to sleep, the neurons that hold the structure of the brain contract about 30% and they create little channels for the cerebral spinal fluid to flow through. There are ways for it to clear and get outside of the blood brain barrier and get rid of your waste products. If you don't clear that, it's toxic. It's a waste product. It'd be like if you leave feces in your living room, you don't get rid of it, it's toxic. And what happens is that your brain or your body attacks it. It's like a foreign object. So it's an inflammatory response." - Dr. Kirk Parsley Links From Today's Show  Kirk Parsley MD 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley – Sleep To Win 256 Navigating Transitions In Relationships, Health, and Wealth: Dr. Kirk Parsley & Krisstina Wise 591 Dr. John Lieurance | Biohacking Big Souls: How UFC Fighters + Big Wave Surfers Holistically Heal William Dement The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal MD 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

Kirk Parsley completed SEAL training at the age of 19 and served as a 60-gunner on SEAL Team Five in Coronado, California. He left the SEAL community in 1994 to pursue a college education. Later, he re-entered the US Navy to attend the military's medical school in Bethesda, Maryland, where he was commissioned as a Navy Officer in 2000.After completing medical school, internship, and residency, Kirk returned to the SEAL teams as the physician for the West Coast SEAL teams. Kirk was tasked with helping the world's most elite warriors optimize and maintain their performance after eight years of sustained combat. It was during this period that he noticed a significant gap between "healthcare" and true "health."Kirk was compelled to delve into extensive alternative medical literature, synthesizing and applying it effectively and practically to ensure the SEALs could perform at their peak 365 days a year. Performance and fitness are related components of a SEAL's ability, but they are not synonymous.Due to the limitations and restrictions of medical interventions available in austere environments with limited medical support, Kirk had to develop plans that relied minimally on pharmaceuticals, supplements, or gadgets. His unparalleled success led him to become a sought-after medical human performance expert, not only for Navy SEALs but also for various military special forces commands. He parlayed this experience into private consulting for professional sports teams, international corporations, law enforcement, first responders, the Department of Justice, entrepreneurs, and executives.Dr. Parsley has collaborated with numerous elite performers, achieving remarkable results in optimizing their physical, cognitive, and emotional performance. His philosophy is straightforward: our bodies are built on a 100,000+ year-old model, and we perform best by emulating the lifestyle we evolved to live as closely as possible, striving to attain the health metrics of our 25-year-old selves. Kirk firmly believes that 80% of health is derived from focusing on Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress mitigation, with a strong emphasis on Sleep. Kirk is certified in Hyperbaric Medicine, Anti-Aging Medicine, Hormone Replacement Therapy, and is currently pursuing national certification in Psychedelic Medicine Therapies. He dedicates a significant portion of his time to advising non-profit organizations that support the SEAL community and providing healthcare guidance and treatment to veterans. Operating his practice and supplement business from Austin, Texas, Kirk is an avid outdoorsman and fitness enthusiast. When he's not working or working out, you can usually find him in nature, continuously enhancing his medical skills. SHOWNOTES:

On today's very exciting episode, Dr. Jaime interviews M.D. and Retired Navy SEAL, Dr. Kirk "Doc" Parsley. Doc's story begins at 17 years old when he joined the Navy SEALs right out of high school. He spent the next decade of his life with no choice but to live at the peak of physical and mental performance. For most people, serving in one of the world's most elite special forces would be enough of an accomplishment, but not for Doc.After serving with the SEALs, Doc entered medical school at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda. Doc graduated in 2004, 1 year after the birth of his third child. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006.After all those years of living on the edge, Doc realized that the most underused and underrated tool in his arsenal was a good night's sleep.From 2009 to 2013, Doc served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One. While there, he led the development of and supervised the group's first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. Doc saw firsthand the effect that low sleep and high stress had on the young SEALs who were under his care, men who he realized looked a whole lot like himself just a few years before. It was during this time that he began to develop the all-natural Sleep Remedy that is now the supplement of choice for Navy SEALs, pro athletes, C-level executives, and thousands of others. Henry, now Sleep Remedy's CFO, was one of the first to experience the life altering impact of Sleep Remedy.It was in California where Doc was looking to grow the Sleep Remedy team to continue the mission of changing lives through the power of sleep. Shay was one of those Doc interviewed. After initially bringing Shay on as an Executive Assistant, Doc quickly saw Shay's drive, excitement, and appreciation through Doc's work. Shay quickly excelled into her current role as COO.While in this role, Doc and Shay have worked together on all future business plans. Included in these plans was something very important to Shay - Sleep Remedy for Kids'. After years of her trying to convince Doc to bring this to market, he gave her the green light. Shay made it her personal mission to see this product through start to finish

GUEST BIO: Dr. Latt Mansor holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford, where his research focused on the metabolism of the type 2 diabetic heart in hypoxia. He also holds an M.A. (Columbia University) and B.Sc. (Hons) (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. He is a world expert in physiology and metabolism, and consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations.- **Principal Investigator of a $6 million military contract on exogenous ketones** - Dr. Mansor is the Research Lead at H.V.M.N., overseeing all of the company's research efforts and collaborations with universities and research institutions. Currently, he is the principal investigator of the $6 million U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) contract awarded to H.V.M.N by the Department of Defense, with a targeted completion date of October 2022. This project focuses on operator performance in hypoxia (low oxygen environment), which has applications for soldier performance at altitude, in mountains, on fighter jets, and, potentially one day, in space. - **Interest and previous research in diabetes and cardiovascular disease** - His interest in diabetes and cardiovascular disease stemmed from the high prevalence of those diseases in both his parents' families. He then developed interests in metabolism and exercise during his undergraduate years as he created a mathematical model of adipose tissue (fat) metabolism for his final year project. He then researched using exercise as an intervention for sarcopenia, muscle loss due to aging, for his Master's thesis. Along his journey of acquiring more knowledge on metabolic health and physiology, he started applying his findings in his daily life to strive for better health and to prove that genetic disposition to chronic diseases is not the entire equation. Epigenetics and lifestyle choices have been proven to change the trajectory of disease progression or in some cases, even reverse it! - **Personal health journey from smoking cessation to weight loss** - The turning point was when he realized that he was only 22 years old and already living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. Weighing over 200 lbs, never exercised unless he was forced to and a heavy smoker that smoked 30-40 cigarettes a day to boot! The more knowledge he acquired, the more he understands that he is doing injustice to his body and is definitely not helping his genetic disposition towards diabetes and cardiovascular disease so he turned his life around, quit smoking, started with only jogging around the park to joining a gym, quit drinking soda every day and started eating healthy. It was not an easy journey but it has certainly been a self-discovery and rewarding journey nonetheless. He is now committed to finding new ways to make his insights more relatable and accessible to the general public.Although his education was primarily in health sciences, Latt always believed that collaborative efforts between science and business have more potential to create an impact in improving people's lives than each on its own. SHOW NOTES:

Mike's guest this week is Kirk ‘Doc' Parsley. When Kirk joined the Navy SEALs straight out of high school at the age of 17, and he was forced to live at the top of his physical and mental abilities for the next ten years of his life. Serving in one of the most elite special forces organizations in the world would typically be considered a feat, but not for Kirk. Kirk worked as an underwater medical officer with Naval Special Warfare Group One from 2009 through 2013. He oversaw the establishment of the first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation clinic for the organization when he was there and observed firsthand the effects that little sleep and a lot of stress had on the young SEALs in his care, men who he discovered resembled himself quite a bit only a few years earlier. He started working on the all-natural Sleep Remedy at this time, which is now the supplement of choice for Navy SEALs, professional athletes, C-level executives, and thousands of other people.

This week, Courtney is joined by Master Esthetician, Emily Ward, to talk about our newest product, Sugar Bear Sleep. They talk about the benefitical ingredients & how it can actually help you get more restful sleep!   Instagram:  @skinsweetie @courtneyspatrouve @spatrouve @theglowbosspodcast   Website:  spatrouve.com

River and Terran were super excited to see a package from Doc Parsley with their name on it.  They grabbed their camera, so they could share the unboxing experience with you.  Inside the box, they discovered some of Doc Parsley's Sleep Remedy. They were familiar with the packaging that is so similar to the sleep remedy that their dad had been taking for quite some time, but these boxes were labeled “for kids”, and with heads full of questions, River and Terran set up Zoom for a meeting with the Doc himself!   Meet the Doc Before jumping into the science of the sleep remedy, let's take a moment to properly meet the founder.  Doc Parsley, also known as Kirk Parsley, M.D. is a retired Navy SEAL.  He joined the Navy upon graduation from highschool, at just seventeen years old.  It was here that he first learned an appreciation for living in peak form.  He had to be physically strong, of course, but he also had to be in a superior mental state in order to endure training and service as a SEAL.  He realized that there was more to learn about getting the body to that peak state, and that new interest led him to medical school.     After graduating, Doc Parsley continued his studies in a different way - as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One.  Suddenly, he was looking at the military experience from a different standpoint, and really coming to realize the impact too little sleep, and too much stress had on the body. His calling was clear, and work began on the development of a sleep remedy that would provide a natural, healthy sleep each and every night.   The Sleep Remedy More recently, Doc Parsley has shifted his focus to include a group that has notoriously struggled with sleep - kids.  Especially in the pre-teen and teenage years, sleep can be a challenge.  In this video, Doc explains the reason for that phenomenon in this video.   The sleep remedy is something that RIver and Terran's dad, Ben Greenfield, had been using for a while.  With the development of a kids' remedy, it made perfect since for the twins to give it a try. It's loaded with all of the ingredients needed for a natural, easy sleep that doesn't leave you groggy the next day: Melatonin L-Tryptophan 5-HTP Magnesium Vitamin D3 GABA L-Theanine Phosphatidylserine   Did you try Doc Parsley's Sleep Remedy?

Dr. Kirk Parsley joined the Navy SEALs at age 17 and spent the next decade exploring the peaks of human performance with one of the world's most elite fighting units. After finishing his active duty, Doc entered medical school at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda. After graduation, he studied Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006. From 2009 to 2013, Doc served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One. While there, he led the development of and supervised the group's first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. In working with SEAL teams, he realized that inadequate sleep, recovery, and sunlight exposure were hampering their health. This led to him developing the all-natural Sleep Remedy, which is the supplement of choice for special operators, pro athletes, C-level executives, and thousands of others. In this episode, you'll learn from Doc: · How to improve your mental health with improved sleep duration, quality, and consistency · Why our society needs more bold, courageous leaders · What the best times are for moderate caffeine and alcohol consumption · How to dial in your focus to achieve big goals · Which other top performance and recovery habits you can implement starting now To keep up with Doc Parsley, visit his website and follow him on Instagram.

In today's episode, Ted Ryce speaks with Dr. Kirk Parsley, an expert in sleep and a medical doctor who helps his patients sleep better and understand the importance of sleep for their overall health. Doc Parsley will reveal how sleep loss lowers testosterone levels, causes weight gain, makes us age faster, damages our prefrontal cortex, leads to increased stress levels, and much more. He will also share some effective strategies to improve and optimize our sleep so we can achieve the highest quality of life possible.  Listen now! 

Over the past few years, there has been an unprecedented collision between medical science and politics. Some would say that politics has perverted science, and it seems that many people are viewing specific scientific view points as a religion.  I brought my good friend, Dr. Kirk Parsley on to help us sort through the weeds of this debate. I'd like this to get out to as many people as possible, so I've excluded several key words related to the subject matter. Nevertheless, you can probably figure it out.  Dr. Kirk Parsley served as a US Navy Seal. After his enlistment, he rejoined the Navy as a doctor and helped to create Naval Special Warfare's Resiliency Clinic. He is one of the world's foremost experts on sleep, and is the inventor of Doc Parsley's Sleep Remedy.  To learn more about Dr. Kirk Parsley, or to purchase his sleep remedy, you can visit http://www.docparsley.com.  To follow Doc Parsley on Instagram: https://www.kirkparsley.com

Later on, he enrolled in the military's medical school. After getting his degree, Dr Kirk became the manager of a sports medicine facility for the military. Here, he worked with other medical experts.  Those in the military will usually lie to healthcare providers so they won't get excluded from work, but they tend to be more honest with Dr Kirk because they have worked with him before.  After testing for vitamin deficiencies and adrenal fatigue, Dr Kirk realised that many of his patients were taking Ambien, a sleeping drug.  After learning more about sleep, Dr Kirk realised that every symptom his patients were presenting could be explained by poor sleeping.  [17:31] Sleep's Various Cycles With a sleep drug, you are just unconscious and not sleeping.  Proper sleep needs to go through a repetitive pattern of deep sleep at the beginning of the night and then REM sleep by morning.  The different cycles are important since they affect our bodies in different ways.  Sleep can help boost your immunity and memory!

Poor sleep then leads to higher stress levels, and the cycle gets worse.  People who get poor sleep age faster, not just in appearance but also in their physiology.  Poor sleep can lead to protein structure breakdown, decreased blood supply, aged tissues, and more.  As we age, we also face the problem of not repairing as fast. This is how sleep affects our lives.  [23:56] The Foundation For Better Health We are often taught the basics of health are sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management.  However, these pillars cannot function without sleep as their foundation, emphasising how sleep affects our lives.  For example, exercise becomes counterproductive when you're sleep deprived because you're not recovering.  Poor sleep can also change your insulin sensitivity and gut biome, which changes your nutrition levels. Because of how sleep affects our lives, it should be our priority. Sleep deprivation is the fastest way to break someone down, this is why it's used as an interrogation technique.    [28:35] How Do We Sleep? We need eight hours of sleep a night. Make your sleeping routine simple. The more complex it is, the more likely you will fail.  First, convince yourself that sleep is important.  We are all born to sleep, and we don't need to learn how.  Before electricity, people used to fall asleep three hours after sunset. Tune in to the full episode to learn more about the neurochemical process of sleep.   [35:36] Creating the Right Conditions for Sleep During sleep, our senses still work, but they don't pay as much attention to external stimuli.  For our ancestors, the sunset will lead to decreased blue light, decreased temperature, decreased stimuli, and increased melatonin.  Better sleep is just creating these conditions in our environment.  If we take melatonin, we should be careful to take only small amounts.  [39:20] Melatonin Supplementation Some have argued that melatonin supplementation does not downregulate our brain receptors, but there are no definitive studies on this yet.  In fact, measuring melatonin is difficult due to its quantity and concentration in each part of the brain.  It's okay to take melatonin supplements but not in physiologic amounts.  [45:15] Can We Reverse Aging? You need to understand your genetics and what ratios will work for you.  While good habits and supplements can improve your overall health, we don't know if it undoubtedly reverses age.  Our bodies are more complex than we think. Shorting yourself two hours of sleep can change over 700 different epigenetic markers.  We can only describe biology. We don't know how to manipulate it most of the time.  Dr Kirk also shares his experience with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the full episode.  [1:03:36] Paradigm Shifts in the Medical Industry There is a lot of dishonesty in both the media and the medical industry.  Many doctors and medical experts have been silenced on potentially better cures, especially during this pandemic.  Western medicine is effective in treating the sick, but it doesn't keep people from getting severely sick in the first place. A lifestyle change is more important than taking supplements.  [1:12:22] The Importance Of Behaviour Change  People often don't want to work on their behaviour because taking medicine is easier.  We also need to be aware of how the food industry is tapping into our addictive mechanisms to keep us eating more.   Caffeine consumption can also ruin our sleep. More than 200 milligrams can give the opposite effect of staying awake and alert.  Learn exactly how sleep affects our lives, together with caffeine and sugar consumption, when you listen to the full episode. [1:19:40] Widespread Impressions on Sleep and How It Affects Our Lives People have grown to believe that sleep is for the weak and lazy.  This belief also impacts our children, especially since they are still developing.  Losing two hours of sleep can decrease testosterone and growth hormone by 30% and increase inflammation by 30%, among others.   Dr Kirk delved into researching how sleep affects kids after giving a lecture for American kids overseas to professionals in the school system. Kids' brains are still developing. The prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that allows us to simulate things, experiences a shift during adolescence. [1:26:34] How Sleep Affects Our Lives as Kids Dr Kirk delved into researching how sleep affects kids after giving a lecture for American kids overseas to professionals in the school system. Kids' brains are still developing. The prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that allows us to simulate things, is formed during adolescence. Furthermore, adolescents also require more sleep because of a shift in their circadian rhythm. Requiring kids to do more with less sleep interferes with their development. [1:31:40] How Sleep Affects Our Lives When We are Sick A new field in medicine called chronobiology is studying how sleep deprivation precedes any psychiatric disease or psychological flare-up. An Ivy League hospital managed to get their patients off medication by regulating their circadian rhythm and chronobiology. [1:34:34] It's More Than Switching Things On and Off Medications can be difficult to get off because they have too many side effects.  For example, most antidepressants are not just working on serotonin. Instead, they affect several neurotransmitters as well.  Physiological doses are artificial and can cause you more trouble.  Learn how sleep medication and affects GABA receptors that slow down the brain when you listen to the full episode. [1:41:17] Dr Kirk's Sleep Remedy Dr Kirk discusses how cavemen took around three hours after the sun went down to fall asleep. In the present day, what can people do in those three hours? To fall asleep, stress hormones need to come down due to lifestyle. Dr Kirk's Sleep Remedy involves getting the proper ratios of substances. His product comes in the form of tea, stick pouches, and capsules.  [1:46:27] Dr Kirk's Final Advice Change your environment by decreasing blue light and stimulation.  Learn to slow everything down.  Just like how you slow everything down to get a kid to sleep, so should you do the same for an adult.   7 Powerful Quotes ‘You aren't actually sleeping when you're on sleep drugs. You're just unconscious. Your brain is dissociated, but it's not sleep.' ‘Often, if you're sleep-deprived, more is worse for sure. You don't really need to do any exercises. You just stay active until you've recovered, and then you can exercise again.' ‘Insulin sensitivity is decreased by 30%, just by losing two hours of sleep. One night with two hours of sleep. So you go from sleeping eight hours of sleep to six. If you're pre-diabetic, you're waking up diabetic.' ‘Even though I'm known for sleep, the hardest thing for me to coach people to do is to sleep.' ‘The most sleep-deprived years are the most horrible years of the brain development.' ‘Get rid of the blue light. Decrease the stimulation. Lower your body temperature. That's sleep hygiene.' ‘Part of lowering stress is just slowing down your thinking. You can't work on your computer until 9:59 and get in bed in 10 and think you're gonna be asleep.'   About Dr Kirk Dr Kirk Parsley was a former Navy SEAL who went on to earn his medical degree from Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda in 2004. From 2009 to 2013, he served as an Undersea Medical Officer at the Naval Special Warfare Group One. He also served as the Naval Special Warfare's expert on sleep medicine.  Dr Kirk has been a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 2006 and consults for multiple corporations and professional athletes. He gives lectures worldwide on wellness, sleep, and hormonal optimisation. He believes that many diseases and disorders are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits. We can achieve the highest quality of life possible by changing this habit problem.  Interested in Dr Kirk's work? Check out his website.

Lisa Tamati: Well, hey everyone! And welcome to Pushing The Limits. This week, I have another amazing guest for you. I managed to get some incredible people. I have Dr Kirk Parsley with me. He is an ex-Navy SEAL, and also a medical doctor. A little bit of an overachiever, this one. He spent many years in the SEALs, an incredible man. He also was involved with the first sports medicine rehabilitation centre that was working with the SEALs, an incredible expert on sleep. And that's what we do a deep dive into today. We also talk about hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We also go into areas about the current state of the medical system, one of my favourite topics. And I hope you enjoy this episode. It's really, the most important thing is around sleep.  Sleep is something that all of us, I think, are underestimating its importance. And that this is the biggest lever, not food, not exercise, not meditation, not mindfulness, not anything else. Number one of all leverage points is sleep. So how the heck do you get enough sleep? What is enough sleep, and how to get it is what this episode is about.  Before we head over, I just want to remind you we have Boost Camp coming up. This is our eight-week live online program.

This week, I have a superstar, who is a good friend of Commander Mark Divine, you may have heard previous weeks on my podcast. We have Dr Kirk Parsley with us today. Welcome to the show.  Dr Kirk Parsley: Thank you. I feel very welcome and happy to be here. I'm still here. I'm happy to be sharing this airspace with you or whatever it is sharing.  Lisa: I'm really super excited. I've heard you a number of times on Mark's show and just thought how hefty you're on because you're such an expert. We're gonna dive into a little bit into your background, but you're an absolute sleep expert. So I'm really keen to help my audience with their sleep, and their sleep patterns, and all of that good stuff. But before we get into that, we were just chatting about genetics and endurance. So, give us a little background. You've been a Navy SEAL. You've been in the military, in the naval military. So give us a bit of background on yourself, personally. Dr Kirk: Yes. So ironically, I actually dropped out of high school. I was a terrible student my whole life, didn't have any interest in school. And after you don't do well for long enough, you just convince yourself that you can't do well. And so you're just, ‘I'm just done. I can't do it'. I was always very physical, very athletic. Just fortunately, genetic lottery, I won, just be an athletic and strong guy. And it came pretty easy to me. But I worked hard at it because I didn't do school work. So when I dropped out of high school, to join the military and do the hardest training in the world. And that was what the SEAL training was supposed to be, as the toughest training in the world like, ‘Well, I'm gonna go do that.' So I went to do that.  This was a way long time ago. This is 1988. So, it was long before anybody knew what SEALs were. They didn't have the notoriety they have now for sure. And when I would come home from the Navy and tell people as I was a Sealer, like, ‘What do you mean, you work for SeaWorld or something? What do you do?' Kinda. So, I went through SEAL training, I would say I made it through SEAL training, I became a SEAL. That was pre-9/11, obviously. So we didn't have the combat that the SEALs of this generation do. So it's not really comparable. We were still mainly working in Southeast Asia doing police work and training other militaries.  I did three deployments. It was really the same thing over, and over, and over again because there was no combat. So you just did the same training, and then you deployed, and then came home, and you did the same training. And of course, I was like, ‘Maybe, I'll go do something else.' And I thought I would be—I was dating a woman who would become my wife. She was getting a master's in physical therapy. And I was reading her textbooks on deployment to make myself a better athlete. And I thought, maybe I could be a physical therapist. And so I started working, I started volunteering in a physical therapy facility in San Diego, called San Diego Sports Medicine Center. And it had every kind of health care provider you could possibly imagine. And this building, it's just this healthcare Mecca. It's the most holistic thing I've ever seen to this day.  I decided pretty quickly, I didn't want to be a physical therapist, but I don't know what else I wanted to do. But I got to follow the podiatrist around, and acupuncturist, and massage therapists, and athletic trainers, and conditioning coaches, and the orthopedist, and the family practice, and the sportsmen. I just got to follow them around and see how everybody worked. And a group of young doctors there, who were probably only five or six years older than me, and they were saying, ‘Well, you should go to medical school.' And I was like, ‘Pump the brakes, kiddo. I didn't even graduate high school. I'm not getting into medical school.' And then the senior doctor overhears the conversation. He comes out of the office. And he says, ‘Kirk, the question isn't, “Can you get in?” The question is, “Would you go if you've got in?”' And I said, ‘Of course, I'd go.' So, well, there you have it. So, he sort of shamed me into it/  I studied hard and got really good grades. And then when it came time to apply for medical school, this was pre-Internet, so you had to go to the bookstore and get your book review and look and see what schools are competitive for. And when I was going through one of those books, I found out that the military had their medical school. The military was a closed chapter in my mind. I'd done that. That's something that I figured I'd always do in my life. But it was never meant to be my whole life. And so I had done that. I was, I figured I was done. But I was already married and had kids. And I was like, ‘Well, the military will pay me to go to medical school. Or I can pay someone else to go to medical school and my wife can work while we're in medical school.'  I made enough to support my family and go to medical school for free. And then to pay off in the military's, they'll train you to do anything. You have to give them years of service and your job. So once you finish your medical training, you have to be a doctor for the military for eight years. And so I figured, ‘I'll get back to the SEAL teams, I'll go pay something back to the community that helped me, was hugely formidable in who I became in my life.' And went back to the SEAL teams, really well-prepped to do sports medicine and orthopedics. And I knew quite a bit about nutrition, and performance, and strength and conditioning. I was pretty sure I had the exact pedigree. When I got there, they had just gotten the money to build a sports medicine facility, which was actually their vision was exactly what I told you that I worked in in college. That's exactly what they wanted to build. I'm like, ‘I got this.' So they put me in charge of building this out. And I was a significant part of us hiring everyone we hired. So we hired our first strength and conditioning coach, our first nutritionist, our first PT, our first everything.  We built our own sports medicine facility. And then orthopedics was coming through every week, and they had to do rounds there. And we'd have pain rounds, pain management rounds come through. We had an acupuncturist coming through. And we hired all these people from the Olympic Training Center, and professional sports teams, and the best colleges. And so, we had all these brilliant people who knew way more than I did about what they do.  Lisa: So you went from there to there.  Dr Kirk: Yeah. And so at that point, I was the dumbest person around, right? Because we had all these experts in every little niche that I knew this much about. We hired experts who knew that much about. And so in the military, when you're the dumbest guy, they put you in charge, right and say, ‘Well, you manage this,' right? And so, I'm managing all these people who know more than I do, however that works. But my office was in this facility that we built.  The SEALs are a lot like professional athletes in that you put them on a bench, so to speak, right? Because they're injured, they need some help. So they can't work. It's the worst thing. Worst thing. So when they see a health care provider, they just lie because they don't want to be— Lisa:  They don't wanna be taken out.  Dr Kirk Parsley: They will take money out of their pocket, and go into the city, and find a doctor to treat them so that the doctor at work doesn't know, so they don't get put on the sideline. But because I was a SEAL, and there were still a lot of SEALs at the SEAL team. It was close enough to my time. There are still a lot of SEALs at the team who I worked with, and I trained with, and deployed with. And so they knew me. And I had a good reputation. And so they trusted me, and they come in my office and they say, ‘Let me tell you what's going on with me.'  They reported this litany of symptoms that didn't have any pattern that I could recognise. And so they were saying that their motivation was low, that they're very moody, that they couldn't concentrate. They're super forgetful. Their energy was low. Their body composition was shifting. They felt slower, and dumber, and colder. None of them were sleeping very well. They're all taking sleep drugs. They had low sex drive. They had a lot of joint pain, a lot of inflammation. And I didn't have the slightest idea. I'm like, ‘And I know it sounds like you're obese and 65. But I'm looking at you and you're not. So I don't know what's going on.'  I just started testing everything I could possibly test. I tested literally 98 blood markers. They were giving 17 vials of blood. Now just shotgun approaches, test everything, and see what's abnormal. And I started seeing some patterns. And they had really low anabolic hormones, so the DBTA, and testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone, pregnenolone. All of that was low. They really have high inflammatory markers. They really had poor insulin sensitivity for how healthy I knew they were, and how well they ate, and how much they exercised. But it's still within the normal range. But it wasn't. Everything was in the normal range. But everything that should be really high was just like barely in the normal range. And everything that should be really low, it's just barely inside of that range. They didn't have a disease. And I was a medical doctor, so I had learned how to treat disease, then they didn't have disease. So I was like, ‘I don't know. What am I going to do?' So that led me to having to train with outside providers. And fortunately, at that time, the SEALs did have the reputation. They'd already done all these amazing things. This was in 2009. So, I think they'd already shot Bin Laden and at that point. So I could call anybody, right? I'd watch somebody's TED Talk, read their book, I'd see them lecture. And I'll just call them and say, ‘I'm a doctor for the West Coast SEAL team. Could I come train with you? Can I consult with you? Can I ask you some questions?' And everybody was generous and said, ‘Absolutely'. So I get to learn a lot really quickly. I take a lot of leave from work and just go sit in these guys' clinics for four or five days. And just pick their brain, go see patients with them, and take notes, and learn. And then I just call them every time I have a question. And I just got to learn really quickly. It's like this team of experts who knew everything about the alternative world.  I was trying to treat people for adrenal fatigue. And I was trying to treat people for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which are obvious from what was going on. And I couldn't quite figure out what it was. And about 100 patients into it, and probably after 30 guys came in, I could have told everybody, they could just sit down. I'll tell you what you're going to tell me. I could have just just route it off; it's so similar. And about 100 guys into it, embarrassing that it took so long, but I remember this guy telling me that he took Ambien every night. What do you guys call it? Stilnox, I think, right?  I was married to an Aussie, so I know a lot. I mean, I know you're not an Aussie, but I know a little bit about your world, as in your language. And I remember putting a note in the margin, ‘Seems like a lot of guys take an Ambien.' Then I go back through everybody's records, 100% of the guys who had been in my office were taking Ambien. So I thought, ‘Well, maybe that's an issue, right?' So, let me go look at the side effects of Ambien. And it was a fairly new drug. And the pharmaceutical industry, they get to cherry-pick their data. So they were like, ‘Oh, it's the safest drug ever. There's nothing, no problems.' And I'm like, ‘I don't quite believe that.'  Unfortunately, like every other doctor in America, I didn't know anything about sleep. I never had a single class on sleep in medical school, didn't have the foggiest idea what should be happening. I knew what you called a mechanism of action on this drug, which means molecularly what does it do. Well, it binds GABA receptors and has an effect called GABA analog, and benzodiazepines are the same, things like Valium. And so that's about as much as I knew, Well, what is GABA doing? What is GABA supposed to do? And then you can't really understand that without understanding what's actually going on in sleep.  Then, I had to learn about sleep physiology. And what's supposed to happen during sleep? And what are the normal shifts and changes? And what does that do? And if that doesn't happen, what effects do you get? So after studying quite a bit, I figured out the general Occam's razor principle of the thing with the least assumptions is, literally, every single symptom that these men told me about, could be explained by poor sleep.  Now, I didn't think that it would be, right? I wasn't naive, but it could have, then, right? So if this was definitely the most powerful thing, because being a Western doctor I wanted to give them Cortef and raise their cortisol. I wanted to give them testosterone and raise their testosterone. I wanted to get like, I wanted to give them medication to improve their insulin sensitivity. I wanted to just go in there and do it. But I couldn't do that, right? Because you can't give SEALs medication that they're dependent upon. Because then, what if they go out on the field, and they don't have their medication, they can't do their job and it's a waste. So that puts people on the bench, that disqualifies people. So I couldn't do that.  I had to figure out, well, what else can I do? So like I said, sleep seemed like the unifying theory. So let me see about that. And this was right around the time that everybody was catching on to the important vitamin B3. And that was associated with poor sleep. So, I tested all my guys. Every one of them had low vitamin B3. So I'm like, ‘Yeah, I'm going to give them vitamin B3. I'm going to be a hero. Everyone is gonna love me. I'm the best doctor ever.' And it helped a little bit. But it wasn't everything.  Like I said, I had this epiphany with this sleep drug. And once I learned enough about the sleep drug, you aren't actually sleeping when you're on sleep drugs. You're just unconscious. Your brain is dissociated, but it's not sleep. Because sleep has to have, as one of its criteria, you have to have this predictable sleep architecture. You have to be going through these sleep cycles that take you through these different stages. And a particular pattern is repetitive, and it's primarily deep sleep in the beginning of the night, and almost exclusively REM sleep by morning, and you have to do that transition.  If you don't do that, then it's not sleep. It can be partially sleep, if you're just getting poor sleep. But I was having these guys do sleep studies. And they were coming back with 99.9% of their sleep study being stage 2 sleep, which is just the transition. It's what we call a transitional sleep phase. So it's not deep sleep or REM. So they weren't really getting any of the benefits of sleep. And of course, that's an oversimplification. They're obviously getting something, or they'd be dead. But we don't know what they're getting.  That's all we know is that healthy sleep does this, and when you go through these cycles, we know these things happen. Like when you're in deep sleep, we know that's when you're the most anabolic, and you're secreting your anabolic hormones like growth hormone, and testosterone, and DHEA is being ramped up, your immune system's being ramped up. We know this happens. And then we know in REM sleep, what's going on in the brain: the physiological changes, forming more durable neural tracks, that neurological memories, shifting things from working memory into long term memory, pruning off useless information, these little buttons that grow on the side of your nerves that are starting to bud new information. You're like, ‘I don't need that.' You clean up all that. You get rid of weak products and you get the brain working better.  The whole purpose of going to sleep tonight is to prepare myself for tomorrow, right? Whatever I do today, that's what my brain and body are gonna think it needs to do tomorrow. It's gonna use today as a template to try to make me better tomorrow at doing what I did today. And if I don't get enough sleep, if I don't get to restore, I still have to do tomorrow. And how do I do that? Well, I do it the same way you do anything. I'm stressed out. I use Marinol and a bunch of cortisol and DHEA. And I start robbing all my nutrients for my cells. My blood glucose is going up, I'm getting fuel sources that way, epinephrine and norepinephrine stimulate my brain and my tissues to be able to get energy where there's really no energy there. And then I'm going to bed with these really high stress hormones, which are supposed to be low when I sleep, and then I'm trying to sleep with high stress hormones. Then, I get worse sleep. Then, I need more stress hormones tomorrow. And that's what breaks people.  In fact, when you see somebody who doesn't sleep well for even six months, they look so much older. ‘Why does he look old? That doesn't make sense. Is it just because they're tired? Is it tired old?' But if you think about it, you're born into this contract. You're born into this contract; you can't get around. It's just like you're born knowing you're going to die, 100% certain you're going to die. There's also this other contract that certainly is your body ideally worked for about 16 hours, and it needs eight hours to recover. That's the way it works. That's what you're born into. There's small variations there. But obviously, you can't get around that.  If you don't get those 8 hours, you didn't recover from those 16 hours. And so if you think about it logically, obviously, when you're a kid, you need more sleep. So it's not a great example, when you're really young. Kids actually sleep a lot more than eight hours by and large, but you see them actually getting better every day, right? They're growing. They're getting smarter. They're getting more coordinated. You can see that every day. But if you think about, say, like, once you hit 25, and your brain's fully formed, and everything's static. If you could recover 100% every night, and wake up the next morning as good as you were that other morning, you wouldn't age, right? There would be no aging because you would have recovered 100%.  Lisa: It's very important, yep.  Dr Kirk: Everything that you're deficient in, if you're missing 10%, you're going to age that 10%. And if you're missing a little more, you're going to age faster. So when you see people who haven't been sleeping well for a year, they are literally older because they've been recovering less and less every night. So yeah, there's a breakdown in their protein structure. There's decrease in their blood supply, their peripheral vascularisation. Their tissues are aging. There's a buildup of waste products that aren't getting out, and that's toxic. And that's damaging the mitochondria and forming more senescent cells, and all these other things, they're building up. And every marker that we have, even genetic marker, when you look at your children and linked methylation on the genes. Every marker, they look older. And then when you look at them, they look older. That's why.  That's really what aging is. It's really just the absence of being able to recover 100% every night. And as we get older, we just don't repair as fast. And that's, unfortunately, when most people quit sleeping as much. And now that's double whammy there. You're getting twice the aging effects that way. And there's no reason to sleep less when you're old. It's typical, but it's not something you have to do. I've had 84-year-old women who haven't slept more than 4 or 5 hours in 20 years, and I get them to sleep eight hours a night.  Lisa: I've got one over there who's rustling around, walking around behind me. She's 80 years old, nearly. Hey, mum. And she's struggling with sleep in the early morning hours. And therefore, you know her memory and things. So I want to pick your brain on that. Can I just slow you down a little bit because we just covered a ton of ground here. Dr Kirk: You just asked me about myself, and I just couldn't stop. Lisa: No, but you were on an absolute roll. So I didn't want to interrupt you because there was so many things, but my brain's just going like, ‘There's so many questions!'  Dr Kirk: That was just meant to be an overview.  Lisa: That was an overview. Now can we dive deeper into some of the weeds because now I understand why you've become, classically, the sleep expert because obviously that was the biggest leverage. In other words, this is the biggest leverage point that you see. When we think of the SEALs, we think of the SEALs as being these gods of amazingness that can do everything. But what you're saying is like these guys are pushing their limits: endurance, and in fatigue, and all things like that. And so they're going to be the Canaries in the Gold Mines in a way because they're going to be coming up against the limits of everything.  For you to say, as an ultra marathon, so I've come up against the limits in certain ways, like with sleep deprivation. And I sort of understand some of the things now that you were talking about. So you've ended up finding out that this is probably the biggest leverage point in anybody's life, basically, for their health is their sleep. So people, take a bit of a grip on that one. It's not necessarily the food or nutrition, it's the sleep. Would you agree? Dr Kirk: When I first started lecturing, I used to say there were four pillars of health: sleep, nutrition, exercise. And then the fourth pillar is audience dependent. It could be mindfulness, stress medication, it could be community, whatever it is that controls your stress hormones, and your emotions, and your mood, and all that stuff. Then after a while, I shift to there's three pillars sitting on the foundation of sleep. Because if you take the sleep away, none of those are going to work. There's nothing you can do. In fact, if you exercise when you're sleep deprived, it's counterproductive because you're not recovering. And we all know that you don't actually get better when you exercise. You damage yourself when you exercise. Then when you sleep, you recover, and you come back stronger. When you deprive yourself of sleep, you change your entire gut biome, you change your insulin sensitivity. You change everything here. And now your nutritional status doesn't work anymore. And when you don't sleep well, as I said, you increase your stress hormones. So you can do the mindfulness training and all of that stuff, meditate and all that, but you're just going to bring yourself down maybe to where you would have been if you just slept well and didn't do any kind of training.  It's really the foundation for everything. And I say that all the time. It sounds hyperbolic, but I'm 100% convinced it's true. There's nothing that you can do that will, nothing that will break you faster than poor sleep, and poor and insufficient sleep. There's a reason we use it as an interrogation technique.  Lisa: Exactly. Yeah.  Dr Kirk: There's a reason we break people down, intentionally, this way because it depletes all your resources. It interferes with your brain function, your willpower, your problem solving, your speech, your ability to formulate plans, your motivation, your mood. Everything goes almost instantaneously with one night of lack of asleep. Never mind keeping somebody up for three or four days in a row. They're just a mess. They're just in input mode. They just want you to just, ‘Tell me whatever I have to do. I'd do it. Then I'll sleep. Anything I can do to get sleep, I'll do it.' You don't have to rip people's fingernails out of stuff. You just deprive them from sleep.  Conversely, there's nothing that will improve the quality of your life and your performance faster than sleeping. Well, if you're an inadequate sleeper, which most people are. They don't even know they are. Everybody has these 30-day challenges and 60-day challenges. I'm like, ‘I only need seven days.' Again, one week where sleep is your number one priority. And you do everything right, and you get eight hours of sleep, at least eight and a half hours in bed every night, and you're sleeping approximately eight hours a night. And give me that for a week. And then, if you're not convinced this the most powerful thing, go back to wherever you're going. But nobody's ever gone back.  Lisa: A lot of us, I can hear people saying, ‘Yeah, but I go to bed, and I can't sleep. And I wake up at 2 am. And my brain is racing and I've been told to do some meditation. And maybe it's my cortisol.' Let's look now because if we haven't got the message across now that sleep is the number one thing that you should be prioritising about everything that you do, we haven't done very well for the last half an hour.  How do we sleep? What foods do we need to eat before we go to bed or not eat? What supplements can we take? You've got your sleep remedy that we'll get into a little bit. What routine can I do to optimise? What light-dark cycles? All of these things that can be leveraged points for us in optimising our sleep. And how do we test that we're actually in that deep-sleep phase? What are one of the best tools that you've found to work that out? So that was a mouthful, but yeah. Dr Kirk: So the first thing we need to do is get away from that phonetic question right there, which is what everybody's going through in their heads up like, ‘What about this? What about that?' And so my job is to make this really simple. Because simple things we can do, and the more nuanced your plan is around sleep, the more likely it is to fail. And we're doing big, macro movements here. So the very first thing is, what you said, I think we've already covered. The very first thing is to convince yourself that sleep is the most important thing. And to make it your priority for at least one week to get everything going.  Now, when I say your priority, I mean the true meaning of that word. There's only one thing there's nothing else, that's the one, including raising your kids, and your dog, and your exercise routine, and everything else. The most important thing is to sleep. The most important thing for winning. If you aren't quite convinced yet go to PubMed, or go to Google Scholar, or something like this, then put in sleep and anything else you care about: being a parent, mood, dating, sex drive, athleticism, strength, endurance, concentration, memory, I don't care. Whatever it is you care about—strength and this, strength and business, strength and I don't care. Anything you want.  Read to your heart's content. It will convince you that the one good thing about sleep, in the sleep sciences, it's not actually controversial. There's no one out there saying, ‘Oh, you don't really need to sleep.' Everybody agrees. There's nuances and people are different. Everybody agrees you need about eight hours of sleep a night. And just convince yourself that is the most important thing. Once you're there, that's the most important thing.  After that, recognise, ‘Okay. I'm going to make this my number one priority.' Recognise that you're born to sleep. You don't need to learn; you need to unlearn some stuff, right? You're designed to do this. And this should feel good. You should enjoy sleeping. You should usually look forward to going to bed and waking up in the morning, like, ‘Man, I feel so much better. I'm ready to go do my day.' This should be as easy as selling sex but it's not. People resist this forever. I have no idea why. It's great. Why don't you like sleep? I've always liked sleep. So then you just think, ‘Okay, when did sleep go bad for humankind?' Probably in the last seventy years.  Lisa: Yeah, when we got electric light.  Dr Kirk: That's about it, right? It's only been, really since rural electrification, right? Since they got electricity out to everybody. That's really when it started. When you look back in America just 100 years ago, look at people's journals in the winter, they spent like 14 hours a day in bed. That's a certain thing they do. So if you think about it, and just say, ‘I know this is simple. I'm going to let myself fall into it.' And then I'll tell you, there's all the sleep hygiene. You can get on the Internet, and you can find, ‘Oh, do this. Drink a hot cup of tea. Drink milk. Do this. Make your room really cold. Make your room really dark. Make your bed really soft. Make your bed really hard. And get a white noise machine. Get rid of all the EMF.' A million people are going to tell you all sorts of different things to do. And I'll cut through all the BS, and then you can pick and choose. The real answer is all of that stuff works, to some extent. All of that's important to some extent. The way I work with clients is at least 95% of all the successes is from lifestyle. And then all these little gadgets, and your mitigation tools, and supplements, and all this stuff back, that's the other 5. It's 95% behavioural. So you just look back, how did we evolve to sleep? Nobody teaches people how to sleep, right? You're born as a baby; you sleep. So how did we sleep as adults in cultures 100 years ago? Well, when the sun went down, we fell asleep about three hours later, and we woke up around the time the sun came up. It was pretty much that easy.  Okay, so let's reverse engineer that a little bit. I think most people know that blue light is a stimulus for being awake. We don't truly have a sleeping program. If you think of it like software, we don't have any sleeping software. We just have lack of awakening software. So we have things that go on in our brain and body that make us still awake and make us interact with our environment. And then when you take those things away, we're in what we call sleep. The blue light, actually, has nothing to do with the vision. There's nerve cells in the back of your eyes. It senses blue light. That's all they do. And then they fire pathways back to the circadian pathway membrane, essentially. And then the pineal gland secretes melatonin. The melatonin is a hormone, the starter pistol. It initiates all these cascades. And then one of the cascades that it initiates is the production of this peptide called GABA, capital G-A-B-A, gamma-Aminobutyric acid. And what that does is it slows down the neocortex.  When you think of the human brain, the picture of the human brain, we all have that big, wrinkly, massive crescent shape. That's what we call the neocortex. And that is how we interact with the world, right? All of our senses get processed in that, and then all of our movement is processed from that, right? So when we're asleep, all that's really different with our sleep, about in a general sense, right? There's nuances in every neuron and every molecule. And then, in the neural sense, there's a barrier between us and our environment is how it's phrased. What it means is we aren't paying attention to our environment anymore. Our eyes obviously still work, right? You can turn the light and you can wake somebody up. Our ears still work, you can make your noise and wake somebody up. Our sense of touch still works. You can shake somebody. They can roll into something sharp, and their pain receptors will wake them up. Heat will wake them up. Cold will wake them. So we still work. Everything still works. We start processing it. We're not paying attention to it.  What helps us do that is GABA. So GABA involves neurons. A neuron has what's called a resting potential. So there's like an electrical current in here. And when you put in enough electrical current, it goes like this. And that neuron fires. And then, does whatever it does and forms pathways. Well, GABA lowers that. Now, it takes more energy to make that thing fire. And you can overcome this by just putting a lot of energy into the cells. So if you've ever been exhausted, woken up exhausted, didn't get enough sleep for whatever reason. Like, ‘I'm going to go to work. I'm gonna come home. I'm going straight to bed. I'm gonna sleep 12 hours a day.' And then your friends talk you into going out or you get a cup of a drink. You stay up ‘til midnight, ‘I feel fine.' And then you suffer again the next day, right? Because you just overcame that.  You can actually read about this because this still exists, believe it or not, they're still I think 35 or 45 pretty large communities around the globe that have never experienced electricity. And they just lived like hunters and gatherers. They go out. And the men go out and hunt. And the women pick, and nurture their kids, and weave. And just when you think of your caveman doing, they still live like that today. And we study these people. And we did actigraphy. So it's not true sleep, say. It's just movement to know when they're likely to be asleep. And what we find is, the sun goes down. Again, the blue light goes out of their eyes. It fires, the brain starts secreting melatonin that leads to a cascade of 365 billion other chemical changes in the brain, right? But that initiation has to happen. Once that initiation is going, one of the things it does is secrete GABA, increase GABA production in lots of regions of the brain that starts slowing the brain down.  The sun goes down. They don't have electricity, right? The best they have is a fire. So what else happens? Their body temperature goes down. So when the sun goes down and it is dark, we can't see well at night, we can't see very far. So there's way less stimulus, right? They don't have flashing lights. They don't have loud music. So there's not much to stimulate them. So they sit around a fire. Maybe if they're lucky, if not, they just stare around the dark, and they have some quiet, calm conversations, and then they drift off to sleep.  That's all sleep hygiene is. That's it. Those three things: decrease the blue light, decrease the stimulation to your brain, and drop your body temperature. You need a cool place to sleep. One of the things that you can do to speed these things up is to concentrate the right nutrients in your brain. If you are going to take melatonin and just take a very, very, very, very small amount. You just want to initiate. You don't want to put so much melatonin in your brain that your brain doesn't need to make melatonin because then you start running insensitivity to melatonin, and now when you take it away, you don't have, you're essentially melatonin deficient because you've downregulated the receptors, and your brain is not sensitive to melatonin anymore. Lisa: Can I just stop in the first, one second. Dr John Lieurance is his name and he was on the Ben Greenfield podcast, and he's written a book about melatonin. And he argued that melatonin, interesting work, doesn't downregulate when you take melatonin, and doesn't cause that downregulation. All the other hormones do. If we take testosterone, we're going to downregulate our own testosterone, if we take right whatever. He said that they didn't. And he was advocating in his book for actually, super-physiological doses of melatonin. Certainly when you're doing things like jetlag, or whatever you're trying to reset, but also for a raft of other ailments to help with many diseases. Have you heard of his work or? Dr Kirk: I'm familiar with him and his work.  Lisa: Yeah. What's your take on that? Because I was like, ‘I don't know.' Dr Kirk: So, I disagree, obviously.  Lisa: Yeah. That's what I want to know. Dr Kirk: But specifically, so what he's talking about, 90% of his work is about the antioxidant. Lisa: Yes. Is it an antioxidant? Yep.  Dr Kirk: The studies that he's quoting are saying that melatonin doesn't downregulate. We don't know for sure. It's like, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. The only way we would know is if we could actually drop a catheter into somebody's brain and sample their fluid in their brain 24 hours a day and study this over months. And so we can't say for sure. We can do animal models. Again, it's hard to quantify because from the time the sun goes down, which is about three hours before you'll fall asleep, to the entire time you slept, until the sun comes up, you're looking at somewhere between 11 and 12 hours. That entire time your brain will only produce five to six micrograms of melatonin.  Lisa: Tiny amount. Dr Kirk: So how do we study, right? It's really hard to study, and you think of it in a mouse model, how much smaller the quantities are we're looking at that point. And the concentration of melatonin in each region of the brain is not the same, it depends on some cells in the brain can actually be stimulated by melatonin. It's somewhere. It's different. And same with GABA. GABA doesn't go to every region of the brain because it can stimulate regions of the brain. But what we do know, so first, I always go with, we don't know anything. We have research that makes us believe certain things are likely to be true based on the best science we have right now. So we don't know anything. And I believe that to be true about everything in science. Just wait a week, it might change. But what we do know is that every other hormone does this.  Lisa: Yes.  Dr Kirk: But if it doesn't do this, it's the only hormone in the body that doesn't. Pretty unlikely. But what we do know with 100% certainty is that it does downregulate melatonin receptors. Lisa: Right. Dr Kirk: It can take away melatonin receptors. If I normally have 10 melatonin receptors, and I go down to just having one, now even if I'm sprayed with melatonin, I only have one. And I have to have this supersaturation for this one receptor to do all this work. And if I go down to normal physiologic levels of melatonin and this one receptor, there's just getting an occasional melatonin coming by, I'm going to be, it's no different. It doesn't matter whether I'm not producing enough, or I don't have enough receptors, it's the same end result. You have to have melatonin binders stuffing pulled into the cell to have it function. Lisa: So can I ask one question there like, so for elderly, who, from what I understand, in my basic research on melatonin, is that their melatonin production goes down with age, and, therefore, they could benefit from melatonin supplementation. Is that a thing or? Dr Kirk: Yeah, I agree. And so what happens is that the pineal gland calcifies just like our arteries. And every vessel, everything in our body calcifies, right. That's sort of aging. Lisa: One of the majors.  Dr Kirk: And so it calcifies, and you do almost certainly secrete less melatonin, right? And again, the only way we would know is to drop a catheter into somebody's brain. But I'm not saying that you shouldn't take melatonin at all. I'm just saying you shouldn't take super physiologic. So his example of when you're speaking about the melatonin work earlier, right? His example is, well, this is a great antioxidant. Now, if I do these super physiologic amounts, there's all these benefits to it. Well, if I give you 10 times the amount of testosterone that your body ordinarily has, you're gonna feel fantastic. If I give you something that secretes a bunch of epinephrine and norepinephrine, like cocaine. And you have this huge rush of norepinephrine; you feel fantastic. And you're super productive, and your brain's really sharp. Does that make that a good idea? I don't think so. I don't deal with anything super physiologic.  Again, I'm the behaviourist, and 95% of all your health is going to come from re-approximating the way you revolt. This body takes hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to this planet. And now we're just like, ‘No, we're smarter. Like I'm a 35-year-old biohacker. I read a bunch of books. I know I can do it better than–” We know nothing about the body. Lisa: Can we all mean for people–we also know that people tend to die. If we wanted to extend our healthspan and their lifespan, but healthspan mainly, can we, with hormone replacement therapy, there's a raging argument: should you be on hormone replacement therapy, should you not? If you're wanting to optimise. Now, there's downsides. And you need to understand your genetics, and you need to understand all of those aspects.  There is benefits for us to taking testosterone or DHEA or all these things in the right physiological doses of, say, a 30-year-old, like, I'm 50 or 52, I want to be at the level that I was, say at 30–35. I understand my genetics, I know where my risk factors are. I can keep an eye on all of that sort of stuff. Can I all meet that so that I live and function longer? Because I think the core question here is how do we optimise? Yes, we've developed like cavemen but then they die at 70–80, as well. Can we extend that with the knowledge that we currently have? Dr Kirk: Well, so I don't ever promise anybody that I can make them live longer. I say, ‘You might live longer from this.' If you think about it, think about it this way: at first, we talk about what sleep does, right? And if we could catch up every night, we wouldn't age. So what are we doing when we're doing things like hormone-replacement therapy? We're doing metabolomics. And we're doing all sorts of supplementation around that, or we're doing artificial things like hyperbaric, and near-far IR sauna, and ice baths, and doing all these steps to stimulate the production of the thing.  Of course, now we have antibiotics, and we have all sorts of treatments to keep people from dying as young from certain diseases. So certainly, we should be able to either, probably add years to your life. But if not, definitely we can add life to your years, right? If you're going to die at 80 either way, one version of this, you could die hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, another one you're dying in a little chair in a nursing home. So I don't know.  The question is, even with the longevity work that people are doing, really smart guys like Sinclair and all these guys are doing all these things, and they're doing all these things with clearing senescent cells, we're doing all these things with peptides. And now I give my patients peptides for certain things. I don't know nearly as much about the longevity stuff as I'd like to. And we and we're reversing aging genetically, right? We're going in there and saying, ‘Actually, over the course of a year, with a lot of work, a lot of effort, a lot of tries, a lot of modalities, really focusing on your lifestyle and doing everything. Ideally, we can actually, probably, reverse your genetic age a little bit.' Are we actually reversing age? I don't know, we made your telomeres longer. The increased the methylation on your genes, and those are markers for age, does that reverse it? We don't really know, right?  Lisa: We haven't been around long enough to work it out.  Dr Kirk: Right. It's like with omega-3s. If your omega-3s are this, then we know that certain things go this way. Well, but if we supplement your omega-3s, is that the same as you having that nutritionally. Or vitamin B3? Is that the same? We don't know. We're thinking that it probably is. And we're thinking if we're reversing the markers we know for genetic aging that's making you genetically younger. But maybe there's some totally different information in there on aging that we don't know anything about yet. That's possible, too.  I think from what I know about you, you probably agree with me. I think epigenetics is more important than genetics, anyway. You have certain genetics and you change half a dozen things about your day, and your epigenetics are totally different. If you short yourself 2 hours of sleep, you change 735 different epigenetic markers from just 2 hours. All your pro-inflammatory ones are the ones turning on, and all of your anabolic ones are the ones turning off. And again–  Lisa: That's still the biggest leverage point, isn't it?  Dr Kirk: It's still a crazy complex to think that you can decipher what 735 changes in epigenetics mean. We have some ideas of what certain things, how does all that work in synchronicity, but even though we're the smartest animal on this planet, we still have a very feeble mind. Lisa: We're still dumb.  Dr Kirk: When it comes to understanding the complexity of our bodies, we can't understand the complexity of the planet, much less our bodies. And life is just this amazingly complex thing. We don't have systems in our body. We divide the body up in systems as a way to learn it so that we can systematically learn and we can test about the learning, but the body doesn't work in systems. Lisa: I have such an issue with it, too. It's nothing like the way that the medical model breaks us all down. Dr Kirk: The reductionist model doesn't work for life. And if you think about it, most of biology is purely descriptive. All of it is, we've come up with better and better ways to test things and look at things, and then we can describe what's going on. We don't know how to manipulate it most of the time. If we do, it's really clumsy. And it's causing 500 other changes because we wanted to flip this one switch this way. Then what are the downstream effects? We don't know. We'll find out in like 30 years after 100,000 people go through this. It's really clumsy.  I don't know if can I make somebody live longer. I'd never make that claim. But can I make people look, feel, and perform better? Absolutely. I can do it all the time. And me, personally, like you're saying, I just approximate use. Their arguments, there are people out there saying, ‘Well, these hormones will cause this or that.' I'm like, ‘Okay. If high estrogen levels cause breast cancer, why don't young women get breast cancer? Older women, they're the ones who are getting breast cancer, why?' That thing with men and prostate cancer, giving them testosterone is gonna cause prostate. No, it's not. If that were true, then a 20-year-old would have prostate cancer, and a 60-year-old wouldn't, right? It's a lack of this. And I think breast cancer is a lot like prostate cancer. What we know with prosta

Our guest on this week's episode of Jon Wayne Reloaded is Dr. Kirk Parsley. Doc Parsley is a former Navy Seal who after his time on the Teams went to medical school and was able to make his way back to the West Coast Seal Teams as a doctor. We discuss the evolution of his career, and how he became a sleep doctor in order to help the Navy Seals improve their health. We also dive into sleep hygiene, the negative effects of not getting enough sleep, and the creation of his sleep aid Doc Parsley's Sleep Remedy.

Many listeners are probably familiar with Dr. Kirk Parsley and his work on sleep. He is a former Navy SEAL who is now an MD and has developed the Sleep Remedy, which is a supplement designed to activate and reinforce your natural sleep cycle. In the second part of this interview with Doc Parsley, he and Mark talk more about sleep and longevity. Hear how: Laying in bed unconscious with your eyes closed doesn't mean you're actually sleeping Your sleep will be different based on what you did during the day—there's different types of sleep for recovering from physical or mental effort There are methods not to only slow aging, but to reverse aging If you cut out a part of your sleep, you are cutting out a part of your true potential Listen to this episode to learn more about the vitality of sleep, so you can properly deal and manage the VUCA world that we all live in.

 In this two-part interview, Mark is talking to his old friend Dr. Kirk Parsley. Doc Parsley is a former SEAL who is now an MD who specializes in sleep. He realized that most of us are getting less sleep than we need and are kind of seeing sleep as “the enemy” or a waste of time. As a result, he developed his “sleep cocktail” for SEAL patients and has now developed it for all of us as the Sleep Remedy. Learn how: Lack of sleep just accelerates the aging process Working out while being sleep deprived is counterproductive—no benefits Sleep is a part of life that we must accept—16 hours awake and 8 hours of sleep for recovery Listen to this episode to get a better understanding of how your sleep is important to how you deal with this VUCA environment.

Learn how: Lack of sleep just accelerates the aging process Working out while being sleep deprived is counterproductive-no benefits Sleep is a part of life that we must accept-16 hours awake and 8 hours of sleep for recovery Listen to this episode to get a better understanding of how your sleep is important to how you deal with this VUCA environment.

Here's Why 1. Low Acid & Overgrowth [18:07] Chase says: Hello Robb & Nikki! My sister has been experiencing severe digestive distress for about 18 months. She had existing digestive issues from overuse of fake protein bar type foods and then when quit taking birth control her symptoms rapidly got worse. Eating 1oz of avocado would bloat her stomach by 6+ inches. Reflux is a very common thing as well. I finally talked her into trying a low fodmap diet, fasting, etc and we finally ended up having her see a specialist. They gave her an antibiotic and said see ya in 6 months. Her physician hasn’t responded to questions so I figured I would reach out. My question is, should we follow up immediately with a probiotic (if so recommendations?) and as far as her stomach acid recovering, is there a natural gradual process after balancing the micro biome or is this something that requires supplementation or both? Thank you so much for any insight! Once again our medical system f**king sucks (: P.S. Your podcast equips me to help hundreds through my health club. Thank you so much for what you do.   2. Workout HR conundrum [21:48] Karen says: Hi Robb and Nicki, I just love you guys!! I love the homeschooling bits. I homeschooled my 2 children ( now aged 23 and 26) and I feel it was the best parenting decision I made. I’ve been a loyal listener for 10 years now. Time flies. I am a 58 year old female. 5’5” 150 pounds. I have been eating a Paleo/whole food diet for 10 years. My Functional Medicine doctor informed me that my blood work is great across the board. I sleep great. 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours every night. My Oura ring gives me great readiness scores every morning. My question has to do with my type of exercise in relation to my heart rate(HR). I have a resting HR of 45bpm. I have been jogging since I was 16 years old. I usually jog every other day for 3 miles( a 12 minute mile pace). I then do 30 minutes of dumbbells and basic body weight workouts on the opposite days. I rarely take a day off from exercise. I have no injuries, so I feel as though I’m not over training. I keep busy throughout my day. I alway get at least 10,000 steps in every day. I hike outside all year long as well. Ohio can get pretty cold in the winter, but my dog and I tough it out. Problem: I can not get rid of the nagging 15 pounds and belly fat I carry around. When I’m jogging my HR hovers around 150bpm. When I do other workouts (dumbbells and hiking) my HR is around 115bpm. Do you have any suggestions for me to get the extra poundage off? I consume approximately 1800 calories per day. All Whole Foods. I drink lots of water. Approximately 80 ounces a day. I will have an LMNT once in a while. I love them, I just forget to drink one more often. I take Natural Calm before bed as well as Doc Parsley’s Sleep Remedy(one capsule) each night. My cortisol levels are spot on through the day according to the saliva test. Thank you so very much for your time on this matter. Please keep up the wonderful work. Karen   3. Food combining? [29:55] Kim says: Hi Robb, hi Nicki, Thanks for all you do. I do best on a very low carb diet but if I were to occasionally have a serving of sweet potato, what is your take on consuming that sweet potato along with protein in the same meal? Should we consume and digest carbs separately from protein or can our bodies handle efficiently processing both at the same time? Thanks! Kim   4. Nickel Allergy and Weight [34:31] Thalin says: Hey Robb&Nicki, I hope you’re doing great! I need your help figuring out what’s going on with my body. I have always been overweight but until my first pregnancy I felt I was in a good place, I was eating Paleo and all was good. Then, after my first pregnancy (about 4 months after giving birth) I gained a lot of weight pretty quickly without obvious changes in my diet. I have been keto, I fasted long and short...no improvement. Then somebody suggested to me that my weight gain might be due to my nickel allergy. I knew I had a sensitivity but never thought that would make me “weight loss resistant” but then got across these papers (mostly Italian researchers) showing a strong link between obesity and nickel allergy: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30153310/ https://www.medpagetoday.org/hematologyoncology/hematology/50971?vpass=1 There’s also a connection to the ROS theory of obesity: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28429306/ Could a low nickel diet help overcome weight loss resistance?   5. Kefir and fighting cytokine storm [39:58] Rock says: What are your thoughts on this? Have you seen other research similar to these findings? "This study illuminates a yet-unrecognized mechanism for cross-kingdom inhibition of pathogenic bacteria cell-cell communication in a probiotic microorganism mixture. A newly identified fungus-secreted molecule—tryptophol acetate—was shown to disrupt quorum sensing pathways of the human gut pathogen V. cholerae. Cross-kingdom interference in quorum sensing may play important roles in enabling microorganism co-existence in multi-population environments, such as probiotic foods and the gut microbiome. This discovery may account for anti-virulence properties of the human microbiome and could aid elucidating health benefits of probiotic products against bacterially associated diseases." https://www.jpost.com/health-science/could-a-cup-of-yogurt-cure-your-case-of-covid-19-664976 https://microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40168-021-01027-8 Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

You are really going to like this episode all about vibration and the healing power of sound with Michael Tyrrell.   Michael is an author, visionary, musician, composer, and producer. He exists to bring love, healing and motivation to a hurting world and in turn, inspire others in our generation to do the same.   ***Resources Mentioned*** Michael’s Wholetones 2 Sleep Player for deep healing sleep - Use code STERN for $10 off!! Michael’s book The Sound of Healing Michael’s website  120 Hz Frequency Royal Rife Used for Cancer Explained The Biology of Belief book by Bruce Lipton The Magnasphere Michael used to instantly heal his laryngitis Sonos speakers Michael recommends (but please don’t use the WiFi!!)   *** This topic definitely falls firmly into the energetic side of the healing spectrum.  If you are skeptical or doubtful of such things, I would refer you to everyone’s favorite Nikola Tesla quote, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”   In This Episode:   The power of frequencies  In this episode, Ryan catches up with songwriter and producer Michael Tyrrell to discuss the healing power of frequencies and music, and why most music we listen to today is delivered at the wrong frequency.    Frequencies are everywhere    Every time you speak your voice box vibrates and creates a frequency. When you form words your tongue vibrates and that's a frequency too. Music creates frequencies and some fo these frequencies have the power to heal.    Not all frequencies are healing   A musician all his life, Michael knew from an early age that there was something wrong with music. Frequencies are measured using unit of measurement called Hertz (Hz). Michael wanted to know why tuners calibrated at a specific frequency (440 Hz). “Who says this is how you must tune your instrument?” Micheal discovered through traveling the world that not everyone tunes to the same note.   Micheal wanted to know where the standardized A=440 Hz frequency came from. What he discovered shocked him. This frequency has an attachment to Nazi Germany and mind control, and is a frequency that can disrupt the circadian rhythm of the human body.    Micheal’s story   Fate or God brought Michael to a coffee house in Tel Aviv, Israel where he met a pianist called David who told Michael that when he woke up that morning God had told him he was to give his life’s work away today.    David spent his life studying and decoding the ancient psalms of King David –  ancient Hebraic forms of music. He gave these manuscripts to Michael in a backpack. Michael got home and played some of the music but his guitar was still tuned to 440 Hz. He put the music in his study and forgot about it for two years.    Michael came home one day with the number 222 in his head. He reached for his Bible wondering what he’d find on page 222. Sure enough he found reference to Kind David. He instinctively knew to double the number 222. 444 is a derivative of A but 4 cents higher. Michael calibrated his guitar to 444 Hz, pulled out the manuscripts from David and started playing. His hairs stood on end - he could feel the music.    Healing frequencies   Michael explains that 444 Hz is a balanced frequency. Instruments become more stable and stay in tune longer at that frequency.   Michael has discovered 7 frequencies that have been used to heal and protect since ancient times. He has created a compilation of music using these healing frequencies called Wholetones®: The Healing Frequency Music Project.   The power of the spoken word   Ryan and Teddy have been working with an energy healer who told them that Ryder had “a summer heat” trapped inside his body. For the next two nights Ryder woke up drenched in sweat as the heat was worked out of him.    Ryan explains that ancient writers associated the constellation Cancer with ‘a summer heat’.   Michael explains that words in descriptive and energetic forms have the ability to bless or curse. Michael encourages people to speak life to each other. If we can get out of the ‘them versus us’ mentality we can change the world.    Michael reminds us about the law of vibration and that the beginning of the universe was spoken “Let there be light”. “Frequencies were introduced into the world by the mouth of God.”    The importance of higher vibration    Michael believes that cancer is a disease of the environment. “We are being bombarded by negative frequencies such as EMFs”. Michael focuses on creating energetic environments of peace and sleep, that are conducive to healing and help people to relax and smile. He wants to help people into a space of homeostasis and spontaneous healing.   Michal explains higher vibration is better than lower vibration. “Negative people are low vibration. When you’re a high performing person frequency wise you operate with a lot of love.”  Micheal recommends making sure the frequencies you use are congruent and balanced, can interact with each other and can elicit healing.   Royal Rife 120 Hz frequency    There are specific frequencies that are useful for different parts of the human body and some frequencies that are too close to one another can mask each other.    Other experts and resources   Michael believes frequencies can affect your body on a cellular level. Ryan references Biology of Belief by Dr Bruce Lipton which discusses how thoughts can change blood chemistry, epigenetics etc.    Michael talks about Nicola Tesla and his studies on frequency. He created the Pico-Tesla frequency. Tesla believed that by vibrating parts of the body with low amplitude frequency he could bring spontaneous healing.    Michael cites another example, Dr Jerry Jacobson and his Magnasphere, a frequency arch that works on Pico-Tesla frequencies. Michael explains that he healed himself of Laryngitis after 15-20 minutes in the Magnasphere.    Michael has written a book called The Sound of Healing to help people unlock their potential.    The best way to listen to frequencies   Ryan asks Michael the best way to listen to frequencies. Michael explains that the problem is truncation or compression. “When you digitize anything you’re converting wave form into numbers”. So the best way to experience frequencies is in analog. Michael records Wholetones in analog. However he goes on to say that MP3s are better than nothing. The Wholetones samples on Michael’s website are MP3s.   Michael recommends Sonos Sound Systems.   Ryan asks Michael about different instruments. Micheal explains the frequencies are all the same it’s just a different modality - humming, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls etc. It doesn’t matter about the instrument - just as long as it’s a balanced, healing frequency.    Michael encourages a proactive approach to health “don’t wait until sickness arrives before making changes”.    Sleep disorders - a modern day anomaly   “Why are people sleeping less?” Michael explains that EMFs, 5G, photonic energy and wifi are all disrupting our sleep. “If you’re not sleeping 6-8 hours a day your body cannot heal.” Michael remembers the times he slept the most soundly was in his mothers arms. She sand him lullabies - the song, creating soothing vibrations.    Michael has created Wholetones Sleep, a collection of lullabies. A nurse once told Michael that Wholetones should be the soundtrack for the entry and exit of every human in the world it was that calming..  Michael has created a Wholetones player to deliver the music at maximum quality.    Michael tells the story of the Wholetones launch party where everyone fell asleep. The joke is that the song on the album Angels All Around Us is “the song no one’s ever heard the end of”.   But the medical community want scientific evidence so Michael conducted a clinical trial with control groups. The results were conclusive - trial participants that listened to Wholetones fell asleep faster, stayed asleep longer and woke up feeling more refreshed than those who didn’t.   Michael explains that for some people the effects of Wholetones work straight away while others need more repetition. Volume is also not important when working with frequency as long as it’s audible.   Ryan’s quote of the day, “Trust in God but row away from the rocks”.    Special Podcast Offer   Wholetones 2 Sleep Player - 3 hours of music, infinite repeat.

Power Quotes From The Show "What I learned the hard way when I went through my health crisis is that my body is my No. 1 asset. When you don't have your health, then the money, career, and possessions you own don't really matter; all you want is your health back. If we trade our health for wealth, what's the point? It all comes down to just realizing that love, our physical bodies, and our health are what's truly important because we use our bodies, health, love, and our hearts to experience life every day." - Krisstina Wise "Both Krisstina and I process our thoughts by talking to allow ourselves to think out loud. Our plans, next steps, what we want to learn and how we want to grow aren't really processed and solidified for either of us until we can talk about them. Who are you going to talk about them to if your partner isn't going through it with you? That's one of the powers of our relationship and one of the reasons why I've been able to grow so much faster since being in a relationship with her. It's all because I can talk things through with her and we do have the same appreciation for language, we have very similar backgrounds, and we can understand each other in a way that neither of us has ever been understood before." - Dr. Kirk Parsley "The real work is self-love first. That's where the work is. We have to learn how to love ourselves and until I had my breakthrough, I didn't love myself. I didn't feel loveable and I escaped myself through success and achievement. I had to completely break apart to be whole and love this person named Krisstina Wise. I love her but then that's not enough; I have to love me before I can love somebody else." - Krisstina Wise "We're so distracted going from one thing to the next and keeping ourselves busy and this is how we go around the fear. That's why plant medicine is so powerful; because it allows us to go straight to focusing on the fear. From a place of truth and love, we can face our fears." - Krisstina Wise "You can replace ego with fear because ego is a defense from fear. If I become angry, then I'm protecting myself from my own fear and I'm projecting that fear on somebody or something else. Anger is a form of bullshitting in which I'm lying to not only myself but others as well and I know it. If you're being egoic, then you're really being fearful and the only way to get past that fear is to not bullshit." - Dr. Kirk Parsley "When it comes to love and relationships, the fastest way to face fear is to be in an intimate relationship. This is the biggest mirror of our fears of abandonment, overwhelm, or not being good enough. The real-world practice of love is in relationships but we're out there searching for the next thing rather than being present and connected right now to one another." - Krisstina Wise What Others Are Saying About Wealthy | Wellthy Live Links From Today's Show WealthyWellthy Facebook YouTube Krisstina Wise Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Dr. Kirk Parsley Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Wealthy | Wellthy Live Event WealthyWellthy Supplements Falling for Money by Krisstina Wise Wealthy Wellthy Wise Podcast Money Masterclass The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Brendan Brouchard Tait Fletcher Tony Robbins WFR 055 Gay and Katie Hendricks WFR 125 Dr. Kirk Parsley About Dr. Kirk Parsley Doc Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One. He is a former SEAL and served as Naval Special Warfare’s expert on Sleep Medicine. Doc’s philosophy is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way we evolved as a species. Many diseases and disorders that we accept as “inevitable” in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. As a physician, Dr. Kirk Parsley has been indoctrinated to "standard of care" medicine. As a life-long athlete and former Navy SEAL he's been heavily involved in nutrition, exercise, mental toughness, coaching, and constant self-improvement. Dr. Kirk has researched, practiced, trained, proctored, and consulted with world leaders in alternative, eastern, western, holistic, and functional medicine. He’s also had the good fortune to become close colleagues and friends with the greatest minds in nutrition and exercise. He incorporates all of his life experience into his passion for helping people make immediate and profound shifts in their health and performance. His belief is that we can all improve (you don't have to be sick or broken to want to be better), and optimizing your health and performance is not as overwhelming as all of the misinformation would have people believe. You simply need the right team of experts with you, and the self-determination to do it.

For today’s podcast, I’ve rounded up several of the NBT coaches to look more deeply at the single factor that is capable of improving athletic performance, mood, testosterone levels, blood glucose, fatigue, productivity, stress tolerance and gut health. We’re talking about sleep - the under-rated and often slighted backbone of a healthy lifestyle. In today’s busy world it’s easy to put sleep last on the list, but there are many reasons not to let that happen. Coaches Megan Roberts, Clay Higgins, and Zach Moore are with me today to discuss the specific benefits of getting good sleep, as well as evidence-based steps you can take if you’re struggling with persistent thoughts at night or waking too early. We share what has worked for our clients (and ourselves!) to create habits and environments conducive to sound sleep.

Best of the best in physical intelligence: In today's fast paced society driven by the "hustle and grind" mentality, sleep is usually the first thing to go. With the demands of the modern world, what practical steps for sleep hygiene can we practice every day to get the most emotional, physical, and spiritual fulfillment we need to live life well? Everyone knows that a good night's sleep will make us feel better, but science is showing the impacts from chronic sleep deprivation are more far-reaching than we realize. Not only will a lack of quality rest affect mood, feelings, and overall wellness, but it can also degrade our memory, decision-making abilities, life expectancy, and so much more. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST If we want to make drastic improvements to our mental and physical wellness, we get to ask ourselves an imperative question: How can we remedy our sleep habits and lifestyle to maximize our wellness and live life to our fullest potential?  On this special archive episode of Wellness Force Radio #125, we explore this topic and much more with Dr. Kirk Parsley, author of the upcoming book "Sleep To Win." During this exclusive, in-person interview, Dr. Parsley uncovers the tools and strategies we need to receive all the benefits that come from making sleep a priority in our lives.  Sleep To Win: Get 10% off your box of Sleep Remedy use code WF10 at checkout Listen To Episode 170 As Dr. Parsley Uncovers: How he met and developed a friendship with Robb Wolf How an impromptu interview brought him into the world of podcasting Learn about his journey from a Navy MD to his own wellness coaching practice Why he has always had a problem with simply "following the rules" How we can begin to prevent disease instead of just diagnosing and treating our ailments His dietary evolution that led him to a Paleo whole-foods style of eating The fact that traditional medical school focuses on diagnosing disease, and fails to teach proper strategies for nutrition, sleep, exercise, and how to optimize our health Why his Navy Seal patient's health and memory started to fade at a young age Why a restful night's sleep can add massive productivity to our days The data that shows fewer traffic accidents occur when school starts later in the day The ways our lifestyle can lead to years of sleep deprivation Why children receiving more sleep reduces delinquency, drug use, emotional disturbance, and injury in sports The striking similarities in the symptoms of ADHD and sleep deprivation How sleep debt causes improper function in the prefrontal cortex What he calls the 3 components of sleep How overstimulation in today's society affects our sleep and wellness The difference between our circadian and ultradian rhythms The importance of getting practical with our time management How sleep can affect our conscious awareness The importance of reducing our blue-light intake a few hours before going to bed The neurochemicals and processes that prepare our bodies for sleep How we can use supplementation and technology to get better rest The benefits of using a sleep journal Why technology, supplementation, and hacks can help improve sleep, but our lifestyle is the most important driving factor How getting better sleep can lead to weight loss Why sleep deprivation will affect our willpower and lead to decision fatigue Top 3 Takeaways From Dr. Parsley Technology and supplementation can aid us in receiving better sleep, but our lifestyle is the driving factor for ensuring proper rest and wellness. We have to make sleep a priority to build better health.  We can do this by eliminating activities that are non-essential and delegating tasks to free up more time. The first prerequisite to improving our sleep is to understand the value and benefits it will add to our lives.

Former Navy SEAL, medical doctor, and sleep specialist Dr. Kirk Parsley Is our guest in episode 1324 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show“. Sleep (along with stress) is perhaps one of the biggest non-dietary factors that plays such an instrumental part in the weight and health success or failure that people tend to have. If you get an adequate amount of restful, rejuvenating sleep in bed at night, then your health will be rewarded for giving it what it wants. But for most people, they are living their lives on a significant sleep deficit and that is taking a major toll on their quality of living that cannot be ignored any long according to Dr. Kirk Parsley, MD, who served as the Naval Special Warfare’s expert on Sleep Medicine and is certified in hormonal modulation lecturing extensively on sleep, wellness, and hormonal optimization. Listen in today as Jimmy chats with Dr. Kirk Parsley about his book on sleep optimization, catching the attention of Robb Wolf because of a TEDxReno talk he gave on the subject of sleep called America’s biggest problem, sleep, fasting, ketosis, Navy SEAL challenges, his Sleep Cocktail (soon-to-be called Sleep Remedy) supplement, and a lot more.   Nutrient-Rich Vegetables in an Easy-to-Use Powder “JIMMY” at checkout to get 20% off your first order!

In today's fast paced society driven by the "hustle and grind" mentality, sleep is usually the first thing to go. With the demands of the modern world, what practical steps for sleep hygiene can we practice every day to get the most emotional, physical, and spiritual fulfillment we need to live life well? Everyone knows that a good night's sleep will make us feel better, but science is showing the impacts from chronic sleep deprivation are more far-reaching than we realize. Not only will a lack of quality rest affect mood, feelings, and overall wellness, but it can also degrade our memory, decision-making abilities, life expectancy, and so much more. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST If we want to make drastic improvements to our mental and physical wellness, we get to ask ourselves an imperative question: How can we remedy our sleep habits and lifestyle to maximize our wellness and live life to our fullest potential?  On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and much more with Dr. Kirk Parsley, author of the upcoming book "Sleep To Win." During this exclusive, in-person interview, Dr. Parsley uncovers the tools and strategies we need to receive all the benefits that come from making sleep a priority in our lives.   Sleep To Win: Get 10% off your box of Sleep Remedy use code WF10 at checkout Listen To Episode 125 As Dr. Parsley Uncovers: How he met and developed a friendship with Robb Wolf How an impromptu interview brought him into the world of podcasting Learn about his journey from a Navy MD to his own wellness coaching practice Why he has always had a problem with simply "following the rules" How we can begin to prevent disease instead of just diagnosing and treating our ailments His dietary evolution that led him to a Paleo whole-foods style of eating The fact that traditional medical school focuses on diagnosing disease, and fails to teach proper strategies for nutrition, sleep, exercise, and how to optimize our health Why his Navy Seal patient's health and memory started to fade at a young age Why a restful night's sleep can add massive productivity to our days The data that shows fewer traffic accidents occur when school starts later in the day The ways our lifestyle can lead to years of sleep deprivation Why children receiving more sleep reduces delinquency, drug use, emotional disturbance, and injury in sports The striking similarities in the symptoms of ADHD and sleep deprivation How sleep debt causes improper function in the prefrontal cortex What he calls the 3 components of sleep How overstimulation in today's society affects our sleep and wellness The difference between our circadian and ultradian rhythms The importance of getting practical with our time management How sleep can affect our conscious awareness The importance of reducing our blue-light intake a few hours before going to bed The neurochemicals and processes that prepare our bodies for sleep How we can use supplementation and technology to get better rest The benefits of using a sleep journal Why technology, supplementation, and hacks can help improve sleep, but our lifestyle is the most important driving factor How getting better sleep can lead to weight loss Why sleep deprivation will affect our willpower and lead to decision fatigue Top 3 Takeaways From Dr. Parsley Technology and supplementation can aid us in receiving better sleep, but our lifestyle is the driving factor for ensuring proper rest and wellness. We have to make sleep a priority to build better health.  We can do this by eliminating activities that are non-essential and delegating tasks to free up more time. The first prerequisite to improving our sleep is to understand the value and benefits it will add to our lives.

The ketogenic diet has many promising applications including better management of type 1 diabetes and as an adjunct cancer therapy. Thirty-five thousand people signed up for the Keto Summit where we talked about other applications including neurological diseases, fat loss and improved athletic performance. If you adopted a high-fat paleo-type diet, you could be forgiven for thinking that if that was good, then ketosis should be better. I know I did. Unfortunately, that isn’t necessarily the case, and recently in our practice, we’ve seen several athletes eating a diet that failed to fuel their activity. Obstacle course racing appears to be one type of event where carbohydrates are mandatory. My guest this week is client and software engineer Ryan Baxter. Ryan is a competitive obstacle course racer and an excellent example of what can go wrong when you fail to fuel for your activity. The reintroduction of carbs may have been the most important recommendation we made for Ryan. To be fair, Ryan also found overgrowths of opportunistic pathogens Candida albicans and Clostridium difficile and treating those with nutritional supplements will have also contributed to the resolution of his complaints: low libido, poor sleep, foul mood and food cravings. You should listen to this interview to find out what it’s like to be part of our Elite Performance Program for athletes.

We are  back with Jason Seib of AltShift for Part II of our four part series of interviews to discuss the Four Pillars of Weight Loss in more detail. This is Part II where we focus on Sleep. Listen in on Part I for our discussion on Stress Management. What is AltShift Diet? It’s a diet that was created after Jason was following a paleo diet. Paleo makes people healthier, but doesn’t necessarily lead to fat loss. The AltShift Diet cycles fats, carbs and calories, and people are finding this healthy eating plan easy to follow. It is a fat loss protocol and people are achieving astonishing results. There is scientific research backing the diet protocol. The reached #1 on Fitness & Nutrition category in iTunes, and received Paleo Magazine’s Best of 2015 Award for Best Ebook. And the testimonials are amazing! Purchase Ebook Here   Four Pillars of Good Health and Fat Loss The following are the four pillars of fat loss. We will be dedicating one whole episode to each, so be sure to come back the next few weeks to listen in on discussion about the other pillars. Part I- Stress Part II- Sleep Part III- Nutrition– coming up Part IV- Exercise– coming up Not one is more important than the other. If one is missing, it can dismantle your goals for loosing weight, burning belly fat, and healthy living. The Effects of Sleep and What Happens To Our Bodies When We Don’t Get Enough Sleep Jason explains why it’s important for humans to get at least 8 hours of sleep per night, and at the same time every night. Lack of sleep results in insulin resistance which inhibits the body’s ability to lose fat. We previously had on the show Dr. Andrew Hill who mentioned that a the chronically sleep deprived brains tend to look like a head injury brain or a depressed brain. You can listen to his episode here. “Lack of sleep will make it difficult or impossible to lose fat.” Missed or broken sleep in a night will create in some people, insulin resistance similar to that seen in Type II Diabetics, and will prevent loosing weight and burning belly fat.   Typical Recommendations for Sleep Get 8 hours of sleep a night, but not 12 to 8 because it doesn’t match the body’s diurnal rhythm. 10pm to 6am is ideal. Prioritize your sleep. You have a choice to watch TV or sleep. Choose to make sleep a priority. If you have infants, lack of sleep is temporary. If you work at night, make a huge effort to get a day job. For those of us in need of “adult time”, we tend to try and find it after the kids to go bed. We stay up late, get up early, and are still tired. When we get the proper sleep, we won’t have a need for “adult time” because we will manage our time better and the kids won’t wear us out. Wow. What a statement!   9 Tips to Improve Sleep Hygiene After sunset, no electronics. The blue light in the inhibits melatonin. Wear orange lens glasses to further eliminate light blue light. Set the blue light blocker on your iPhone at a certain time. Dim the lights, use as little as possible. Use candles. Supplement with magnesium. Doc Parsley’s Sleep Remedy is a good one. Eat well. When diet is garbage, you can’t sleep well. Over training can damage sleep. Take baby steps to improve your sleep. If you go to sleep at 12, try for 11:45 and improve from there.   “Sleep Deprivation Takes Years Off Your Life”   You won’t be successful to improve sleep if you don’t take care of the other 3 pillars: stress management, nutrition and exercise. More details on nutrition and exercise in upcoming episodes. Come back in the next few weeks to listen in on them, get tips on healthy living and build self confidence. Listen in on the Stress Management Episode.
