Podcasts about sleep tracking

Dave Asprey is widely known as “the OG of biohacking”—a visionary entrepreneur, best-selling author, and pioneer who sparked a global movement focused on upgrading human potential. From transforming coffee into a performance-enhancing tool to turning aging into a choice, Asprey has dedicated his life to uncovering the systems and protocols that optimize health, performance, and longevity. Once a successful Silicon Valley computer hacker with a personal health crisis, Dave used his relentless curiosity—and scientific rigor—to create a revolution now valued at $63 billion worldwide. His latest book, Heavily Meditated, delivers a blueprint for mastering mental and emotional resilience to unlock true human potential. Takeaways: You Cannot Hack What You Can't Track: Dave emphasizes the importance of measuring your recovery and performance—using tools like sleep trackers—so you can make meaningful improvements to your health and productivity. Darkness is a Powerful Bio-hack: Simply sleeping in complete darkness—with blackout curtains and no light leaks—can significantly improve sleep quality, boost cognitive function, and reduce risk of depression and aging-related decline. Energetic Peace is Key for Leaders: True leadership and personal growth come from “choosing peace, no matter what.” When you master your emotional state and triggers, you lead your team and yourself with more clarity, resilience, and authentic power. Sound Bites: “Now, you can hack it because you can track it. You cannot hack what you can't track.” “One of the cheapest biohacks of all that improves leadership and performance and longevity in aging is darkness.” “If anything on earth can trigger me, it’s in charge, not me—and that is a very high standard for living.” Quote by Mick: “I feel like sometimes our soul needs to know that we are worthy of the praise that we're getting. And so I want you to know, man, like, you are worthy of all of this praise, brother.” Connect & Discover Dave: Website: https://daveasprey.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DaveAspreyBPR LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/asprey/ Podcast: The Human Upgrade Book: Heavily Meditated FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer is an expert on sleep – or, more accurately, an expert on why so many can't sleep. He notes that, ironically, it's often anxiety about sleep that prevents good sleep. In short, we lose sleep over lost sleep. Wearables and other tools can help but only to a point, and medications do not induce natural sleep. Instead, he counsels consistent routines, less stimulation at bedtime, and cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce worry about insomnia. Unfortunately, you can't work harder to get better sleep – you have to learn to relax, Zeitzer tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Now more than ever, people are putting a heap of energy into tracking the length and quality of their sleep each night. What percentage quality? How many hours? How long spent in each phase of sleep? It can be interesting to read the data, but is it really beneficial or does it create too much pressure on sleeping patterns? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Today I want to talk to you about a concept that's fascinating, powerful, and, for some people, even life-changing. It's called biohacking. Now, if you've never heard that word before, don't worry. It simply means taking charge of your own health—your own biology—by using science, technology, and discipline to optimize how you live. And isn't that what we all want? To live better, healthier, more productive lives? But as with anything, the tools we use to improve ourselves can either be a blessing or a curse. Today, I want to explore how one of the most popular tools in biohacking—wearables—can help us, or hinder us, depending on how we approach it. What is Biohacking? Biohacking, at its core, is about becoming a better version of yourself. It's about saying, “I'm not just going to live by default, but by design.” Now, biohacking comes in many forms. Some of it is as simple as changing your diet—cutting out the junk and eating foods that nourish your body. Some people try intermittent fasting to give their system a break and unlock new energy levels. Others take cold plunges to strengthen their willpower and their immune system. And then there are these little devices—wearables—that have become incredibly popular. Fitbits, Oura Rings, Apple Watches… They promise to tell you how many steps you've taken, how many calories you've burned, how well you slept last night. In a way, they act like a personal coach, giving you constant feedback. But here's the real question we have to ask ourselves: Are these tools helping us reach our goals, or are they distracting us from them? Are they empowering us to live better—or trapping us in a cycle of stress and dependency? Remember this key principle: Tools are only as effective as the mindset of the person using them. The Benefits of Wearables Let's start with the good news, because wearables do have some incredible benefits when used wisely. First, there's health awareness. How many of us really think about how much we move—or don't move—throughout the day? A wearable can show you. It says, “Hey, you've only taken 2,000 steps today. Time to get moving!” And that's a wake-up call for a lot of people. Then there's prevention. These devices are getting so advanced, they can actually warn you about potential health problems. Imagine your watch saying, “Your heart rate is irregular—go see a doctor.” That's not just convenient—it's lifesaving. Next, wearables can help with motivation and accountability. There's something powerful about seeing progress, isn't there? You're closing rings, hitting goals, watching your steps add up. It's a reminder that small efforts, repeated daily, lead to big results. And finally, they offer customization. You're not following someone else's plan. You're tracking your own journey, learning what works for you. That's the beauty of technology—it allows us to tailor solutions to fit our unique needs. But—and here's a big but—success with any tool depends on balance. And that's where some people run into trouble. The Downsides of Wearables Now, let's talk about the other side of the coin, because every tool has its limitations. One of the biggest dangers with wearables is data overload. Imagine this: You're staring at your device, looking at all these numbers—steps, calories, sleep scores—and you don't even know what to do with the information. It's like trying to drink from a firehose. Too much information can leave you overwhelmed and stuck. Then there's the risk of stress and obsession. Some people get so caught up in the numbers that they forget to enjoy life. “Oh no, I didn't hit 10,000 steps today! I'm a failure.” My dear listeners, that's not living—that's being trapped by your own tool. And let me ask you something: How accurate do you think these devices really are? That's the problem with accuracy issues. Are we making decisions based on solid information, or are we trusting flawed metrics? And here's a big one: privacy concerns. Let's not forget—every time we strap on one of these devices, we're handing over personal data to big companies. Your heart rate, your sleep patterns, your location—where is all that information going? Who's using it, and for what purpose? It's a question we can't ignore. The Psychological Impact Now, here's something that I find fascinating—and a little troubling. These wearables can actually mess with our minds if we're not careful. Have you ever heard of a “health guilt loop”? It's when you feel bad about yourself because you didn't hit your goals for the day. Instead of celebrating your efforts, you're punishing yourself for falling short. That's not a healthy mindset. And there's a new term for something I think we'll see more of: orthosomnia. It's when people are so obsessed with tracking their sleep that they actually ruin their sleep. Imagine staring at your phone every morning, stressed out because your app says you didn't get enough deep sleep. Let me tell you something: Your body knows how to rest. Don't let a gadget convince you otherwise. The Future of Biohacking with Wearables So, where does all this lead? The future of biohacking is exciting—and a little unsettling. Wearables are getting more advanced every year. From devices that monitor your blood sugar in real time, or track your stress levels and mood to implantable wearables—chips that go under your skin. But here's the key question we have to ask ourselves: Will these tools make us better, or will they make us dependent? Are we using them to improve our lives, or are they using us to sell more products? Remember, success isn't about the gadgets you own. It's about the discipline you practice. A wearable won't make you healthier unless you make a decision to act on the information it gives you. You still have to put in the work. You still have to take responsibility. So here's my advice: If you're going to use wearables, use them wisely. Use them as a tool to support your journey—not as a crutch or a distraction. Stay focused on what really matters: taking care of your body, your mind, and your soul or spirit. Because in the end, the best biohack isn't a gadget. It's a commitment to becoming the best version of yourself—one choice at a time. Thank you for tuning in.   Peace and love always,   xoxo

In the world of combat sports, optimizing performance extends beyond physical training and nutrition—sleep plays a critical role. Maladaptive sleep behaviors, such as inconsistent sleep schedules and inadequate sleep duration, can significantly impair an athlete's performance by reducing cognitive function, reaction time, and recovery ability. Understanding these impacts is crucial for athletes and coaches seeking to enhance performance through more effective sleep strategies. One of the key challenges combat sports athletes face is managing the effects of shift work and irregular event timings, which often conflict with typical training schedules. What are some strategies to mitigate these challenges, such as adjusting sleep schedules in advance? And what are the implications of jet lag for athletes traveling to major competitions? While technology offers valuable tools for tracking sleep, there are potential drawbacks, including reliance on inaccurate data or the psychological effects of constant monitoring. By educating athletes and coaches on best practices for sleep, they can make informed adjustments to training regimens, ultimately enhancing overall performance. In this episode, sleep scientist Dr. Ian Dunican discusses his work related to understanding and improving sleep behaviors in combat sports athletes.

Today I share with you the easiest sleep hack you can start using today! It's all about closing your mouth! See like me I'm sure some of you wake up with a dry throat after a night's sleep. And if that's the case then you most likely are a mouth breather while you sleep.Why is this a big deal? Because when you breathe through your nose you filter air and retain more oxygen vs when you sleep with your mouth open you are brining in more bacteria, getting less oxygen and causing disruption in your sleep from snoring or sleep apnea which is induced by mouth breathing.In today's episode I break down some of the biggest improvements I've had with my sleep over the past two weeks! If you want to learn more you can check out James Nestor on YouTube to hear more of his podcast where he goes deep into the science of nasal breathing vs mouth breathing. If you are convinced and want to start taping your mouth shut you can click the link below and get your Hostage Tape now! https://www.hostagetape.com/discount/CHRIS75390 See you all next week!

The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. Today we are joined by Ted Kritsonis, who studies a variety of tech products. Ted is talking to us today about wearable health tech. In this episode, we cover the best wearable tech Ted has seen and discuss the pros and cons of some of the most popular smartwatches on the market. He dives into the accuracy of wearables and the best way for consumers to use the products. Ted also gives some great tips on choosing the best device for the purpose consumers seek to understand. Tune in today to learn how to utilize wearable tech for your lifestyle.IN THIS EPISODE:●   [4:51] How did Ted get into the tech field from journalism? ●   [7:28] Ted's favorite wearable tech products.  ●   [9:40] What's the best product for sleep tracking? ●   [12:10] Ted discusses the pros and cons of the major smartwatches on the market.  ●   [16:10] What to consider when buying a smartwatch for yourself or others. ●   [18:16] What should we know about WHOOP and Oura Smart Ring?●   [25:02] Ted discusses the accuracy of wearable devices. ●   [32:03] How does what you eat tie into wearables? ●   [34:10] How do the devices get our heart rate from the top of our wrists? ●   [36:52] How should we understand the context that devices share? ●   [40:50] Why should you take the data to the doctor to determine the next steps if something seems “wrong” on the wearable?●   [43:19] What does Ted think is next in this space?KEY TAKEAWAYS:●   Different watches have different benefits, so when shopping for a smartwatch, determine what you want it to do and then shop for the best watch with those capabilities. For example, for runners, Garmin is the best. ●   Accuracy is getting better, but the information isn't 100%. Use the information as insight instead of final information. Use it to compare how you've done across a span of time vs. reading too much into the information. If something seems off, take the data to a doctor to help you understand.●   Your lifestyle habits, including sleep, nutrition, and physical activity, all tie into your health. The watch cannot give you all the answers, especially regarding the food you consume.   QUOTES: “I always advise people to skip a year and go two or three years before you upgrade because then it'll feel like there's a bigger jump. There are times when a feature comes out that people can get excited about. Where I feel like there's confusion, is the expectation that one company, because it has a reputation for making good products, is really good at making this type of product, and I have to call out the apple watch for that. A lot of people look at the apple watch and think that's the best and end all of smartwatches when it is not. If you're a runner, I would recommend a Garmin over an apple watch any day.”  Ted Kritsonis“Treat the numbers that you see as an insightful perspective. Thank it from, like ok, maybe I'm in the ballpark, and if that ballpark is dangerous, that could be a cause for concern. There's ECGs now on certain smartwatches; if there's something that seems off about the way your heart is working, the watch isn't going to tell you why, but go to your doctor and say, hey doc, I'm seeing this number on my device pretty consistently, what do you make of it?.” Ted Kritsonis“I do suspect we will see more, especially on mental health. Mental health tracking, brain scanning, things on the cognitive side of health as opposed to just the physical activity.” Ted KritsonisRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES:Ted Kritsonis TwitterTed Kritsonis InstagramTednologic Podcast TwitterTednologic Podcast InstagramGUEST BIO:Ted Kritsonis has been a freelance journalist and photographer for 20 years, covering the tech industry.

Today, I am blessed to have an internationally bestselling author, podcaster, and inspiring speaker who is a highly sought-after lecturer around the world, Jimmy Moore.  Jimmy Moore catapulted onto the health scene in 2004 after a phenomenal 180-pound weight loss enabled him to come off prescription drugs for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and respiratory problems.

Tune in as we chat about the mental benefits of keto, why keto isn't a weight-loss tool, and the reason fruit isn't part of a carnivore diet.  Get Keto Flex on Audible for Free (New Customers Only): https://adbl.co/36d6A24 Get Keto Flex on Audible here for current customers: https://adbl.co/3699lBm / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Health isn't just about food; it's also about sleep.  When people have sleep issues, they start taking melatonin.  Melatonin helps you get to sleep, and you do feel heavy with melatonin.  Over time, Jimmy realized that he kept needing to have more and more melatonin.  Eventually, Jimmy started to train his circadian rhythm by getting sun in his eyes. Also, ice baths before bedtime are helpful for sleep.  [10:40] Cortisol Isn't The Enemy; However, You Need To Manage Stress Still  Check out the Oura Ring: https://ouraring.com/ You want a high level for HRV. You can get that through meditation and stress management. However, people live in a stressful state, never managing it. You can be on keto forever, but that stress will negatively affect your health if you don't have it under control.  Most people don't have high cortisol. In fact, they have super low cortisol. Well, you need cortisol production throughout the day to be healthy.  If you have unmanaged stress, it can really affect your hormones.  [31:00] Start A New Tradition: Going To Sleep As A Family  Do the best you can when it comes to your sleep. If you can't afford the best meat possible, just do the best you can.  Grain-fed beef will be better than cereal. So, talk with the people in your family about improving your sleep.  Start a tradition where you and your family all go to sleep at the same time.  [34:30] Listen To Your Body Because The Oura Ring Is Just A Tool  An Oura Ring is a tool for your health journey.  It will not be 100% accurate.  You need to take everything with a grain of salt.  Don't get too upset if one night on your Oura Ring doesn't seem right.  Listen to your body because you know when you slept well.  [39:50] Adding Fruit and Honey To The Carnivore Diet Jimmy is disappointed in the persistence of redefining terminology. For instance, there has been a massive trend of adding fruit and honey to your carnivore diet. If fruit and honey make you feel good on the carnivore diet, then do it!  However, when you call it carnivore, you are changing what the term means.  Jimmy says that it's disappointing they are changing the meaning behind standard health terms.  [43:55] Keto Isn't A Weight-Loss Tool; Keto Is A State of Metabolism  You are doing a disservice to your clients if you're a coach, and you promote keto solely as a weight loss diet.  Keto is a state of metabolism, not a diet.  If you tell people to eat keto, then it doesn't make sense.  You get into a state of metabolism to improve your health.  Don't promote keto as a weight-loss tool.  Of course, keto is a powerful tool for weight loss; however, it's a weight-loss tool for everyone.  Keto puts your body in a better position to be optimally healthy.  [47:00] The Mental Benefits of Keto Will Change Your Life Forever  The psychological component of being in ketosis is the best part of keto. When you're not thinking about food 24/7, that's life-changing.  On keto, you'll be satiated and have hunger control. When you nourish your body well, your body will reward you.  The psychological benefits are priceless from keto.  [48:35] People You Need To Start Following Right Now  Temple Stewart: https://templestewartrd.com/ Temple on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.ketogenic.nutritionist/ Jen Winkler on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachjenwinkler/ Ryan Mitchel Brown on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryanmitchelbrown/ Madeline Evergreen's Website: https://madelineevergreen.com Madeline on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthy_madeline/ AND MUCH MORE!
