    Ep. 142 - What Does Clean Air Have To Do With Your Sleep with Mike Feldstein

    Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.   Cooking, wildfire smoke, pollution, fragrance and mold.  Things I didn't think would ever be discussed much on the NYMM podcast, but in doing the research for this interview with Mike Feldstein, I realized, I have been remiss by not discussing the effects of these things on our overall health.  Addressing these things in our home environment can make massive change when we don't feel great.   Mike Feldstein is an Air Quality expert and has decades of experience working in restoration and remediation.  He brings this expertise to the table along with some very interesting stories.  In a study that JASPR did recently, monitoring the group of 125 people with sleep trackers, he found that when the bedroom air was clean and filtered, the participants fell asleep quicker, had 18% deeper sleep and 25% more sleep.  Mike calls clean air "sleep fuel" and he is onto something there.  Listen in to this fascinating conversation to learn more to get better sleep and optimize your health! You can find out more about Mike Feldstein and JASPR @jasprco and at Jasper.co.  In case you missed it, JASPR is $400 off for listeners of the show until November 11, 2024 using the code LOVELY.  If you catch the show after 11/11/24, the code LOVELY will get you 10%!  Thanks Mike (I love my JASPR!)  Thank you to our sponsors for this episode: 💙Just Thrive probiotics and Just Calm Probiotics are like nothing you have tried before!  Clinically proven to affect gut health for the better - keeping you calm and building resilience!  You can find out more about the Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic and Antioxidant here.  You can take 20% off your order of these probiotics with the code LOVELY.  🧬 Ways to work with Dr. Lovely: We get many requests for this info, so here it is!  Thank you for listening to the podcast.  ❤️ Join our community - The Gathering.  In this interactive group, you will find support, information, video outtakes, sharing of new research, and so much more.  Dr. Lovely will be bringing in guests, sharing the videos from the podcast recordings and answering questions in the group.  We are so excited to welcome you!   Join us here.
