    Understanding Sleep with Dr. Ketema Paul

    Sleep is as vital for life as food, water, and breathing, but knowing its importance doesn’t necessarily provide you with the tools to improve it.

On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet a researcher whose work is focused on understanding and improving sleep homeostasis. Listen and learn: Why some people don’t operate on a 24 hour clock How certain individuals seem to adapt to irregular work schedules without health problems Sleep pattern changes with aging and what that means for your health The importance of seeing a sleep specialist if you suspect any problems Gizmos vs. lab tech vs. subjective journaling LINKS Dr. Paul’s Lab ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Ketema Paul is a professor of integrative biology and physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

My guest on this week’s podcast has dedicated his work to the study of gut microbiome and how to fix it when things go wrong. Listen and learn: Why most probiotics haven’t been tested on humans How specific strains are required for specific problems Whether stool tests are really worth it The future of fecal transplants and poop banking ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Gregor Reid is a microbiologist whose work is focused on human microbiome and probiotics.

    How to Become Hyperefficient with Dr. Mithu Storoni

    The way we work has changed more in the past four years than it has in the past 20. An estimated 43 percent of Americans are now working at least partially from home, artificial intelligence is making most people at least marginally more productive, and we’re all connected all of the time. This sounds good–or at least exciting–but is it working for you? Are you more efficient? More balanced? More creative? My guest on this week’s podcast wrote a book on efficiency in our modern world, a quickly changing landscape where decade old systems and processes have become obsolete. Listen and learn: How time energy management is now more important that time management Why productivity should be measured in terms of results not total work completed How to break up your day based on your peak creative blocks Why we need to rethink the way we measure and track work Links www.MithuStoroni.com   ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Mithu Storoni is a medical doctor, neuroscientist, and author, best known for her work on stress and its effects on the brain.
