    [Circadian Rhythm] How to Optimize Your Internal Sleep Clock w/ Dr. Greg Potter, Anders Varner, and Doug Larson

    [Circadian Rhythm] How to Optimize Your Internal Sleep Clock w/ Dr. Greg Potter, Anders Varner, and Doug Larson

    Dr. Potter values helping people feel great and do good.
    He knows how hard it can be to thrive nowadays, and lots of us try our best to understand what we should be doing to look better, perform at a high level, and be happy and well. 
    But, achieving this is often elusive, for many aspects of modern life — grueling work schedules, fast food, physical inactivity, social isolation, pollution and so on — are at odds with the behaviors and conditions our bodies need to function optimally. 
    Let’s be honest: There’s a lot of nonsense about health out there too!
    Dr. Potter helps empower people to make simple and sustainable lifestyle changes that add years to their lives and life to their years. 
    To this end, here are some of his qualifications: 
    He did my undergraduate and master’s degrees in exercise science at Loughborough University
    His PhD research at the University of Leeds focused on sleep, circadian rhythms, nutrition, and metabolism.
    He is qualified as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist and have worked as a coach for over a decade..

I’m so I glad I found this podcast!

I just listened to the episode about menopause and fitness with Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan. I have weight trained for over 30 years, but I am realizing I definitely need to up my game with protein and also supplementation now that Im post menopausal. The entire episode was incredibly helpful and informative.

Actionable info on the current knowledge in nutrition, fitness, etc

Helpful and provides insights that’s practical. However, I wish there were more practical tips on analyzing bloodwork history (episode on ‘Bloodwork What your doctor isn't telling you’).
