The Model Health Show
Intro
This chapter explores the critical role of sleep in enhancing well-being and its effects on appearance and health. It shares personal reflections on overcoming challenges and the value of community connections during a recent family event.
Sleep is a critical pillar of human health. Getting a good night of sleep is an important input for your mood, brain health, gut, and so much more. And luckily, learning how to optimize your sleep is simple when you understand the key behaviors that impact your biology. Today you’re going to learn exactly how to optimize your sleep cycles.
On this episode of The Model Health Show, you’re going to hear my interview from Lewis Howes’ School of Greatness Podcast. In this interview, I explained the science of sleep cycles, how your diet and other habits impact sleep quality, and specific habits you can cultivate in order to get a good night’s sleep. You’re going to learn about the role of serotonin and cortisol, how things like sugar and alcohol might be affecting your body, and the latest science on how optimal sleep impacts your health.
You’re also going to hear why sleep needs are individualized, the role your gut health plays in optimizing sleep, and why the common practice of supplementing with melatonin should not be taken lightly. If you’re ready to get better sleep, click play and enjoy the show!
