Do you find yourself tossing and turning at night, unable to achieve that sweet slumber you desperately crave? You're not alone. In our fast-paced modern world, chronic insomnia and sleep disturbances are all too common, with about a third of adults regularly struggling to sleep. The culprits?  Everything from work stress to hefty schedules that often lead to insomnia, abbreviated sleep times, and groggy mornings. Consequently, an increasing number of people are turning to sleeping pills, hoping to usher in sleep, maintain it, or simply improve its quality. But what impact do these habits have on our life expectancy and mortality rates? That's exactly what we're delving into today.  This episode explores the intriguing relationship between sleep duration, sleeping pill use, and life expectancy among adults, with a special focus on findings from a study in Taiwan. I have linked the study below.  Before we get into it, I have a YT page for those of you wanting more of a visual stream to these episode, thats l

Cold exposure, including ice baths has been getting a bad rep in the last 2 weeks due to misleading studies cited by many “performance experts” These studies are lacking evidence due to - in part- small sample sizes: studies often include a limited number of participants, making it difficult to generalize the results and gender bias: Some studies have only included participants of one gender, which may not provide a comprehensive understanding of potential benefits. Joining me today to discuss this is mike Mutzel. Mike is wildly popular in the health, fitness and nutrition space garnering tens of millions of views on his YouTube channel which is actually where I first found out about mike.

Max Lugavere is a science journalist and New York Times bestselling author on a mission to help people feel better, live longer, and maximize their brain health by optimizing their diet.On this episode, Max will speak about nutrition and dementia. With so many conflicting views on which nutrition route to take towards staving off Alzheimer's disease, there is too much confusion so Max provides a great overview of what route to take according to clinical data. Alzheimer's disease, one of the most dreaded conditions of old age, is unfortunately made even more of a burden by a gene called ApoE4. With two copies of this gene, you can double your risk of developing this devastating condition, proving that life isn't always fair. Even if you don't have the gene, aging still increases your chances, making it seem like no matter what you do, Alzheimer's will still creep up on you. But don't lose hope - animal studies have found that heat shock proteins can at least offer some protection against it. So, while Alzheime

I have come across numerous stories that are both shocking and intriguing. The connection between nutrition and depression is a topic that has captured my attention. After all, who knew that what we eat could affect our mood in such a significant way? Recent research has shown that nutrition plays a significant role in the development and management of depression. How? People with depression are often deficient in several key nutrients involved in modulating inflammation, neurogenesis, and aspects of metabolism, including folate, vitamins B6 and B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. In this podcast I speak with Dr Idz. A medical doctor with a masters in nutrition who is quite verbal on TikTok, he goes viral every time he posts in fact. His TikTok and his brand is know for debunking the misinformation that is spread in the wellness space but along with that, Dr Idz has a deep passion for nutrition and depression. In this episode we speak about certain nutrients that are protective for mental health and other nutrients
