Deep dives
Benefits of Morning Sunlight for Sleep
Getting exposure to morning sunlight is crucial for regulating core body temperature, which is essential for a good night's sleep. Controlling environmental temperature helps in falling and staying asleep. Exposure to morning sunlight also supports the body's natural circadian rhythm.
Use of AG1 for Nutritional Support
AG1, a vitamin drink containing adaptogens, provides foundational nutritional support, especially when whole foods are insufficient. It aids in maintaining gut, immune system, and brain health. Regular intake of AG1 can lead to overall improved well-being and optimal nutrient levels.
Insights on Nicotine Consumption
Nicotine consumption, especially through non-cancer-causing forms like pouches, can have cognitive enhancement effects. However, it is important to consider potential blood pressure and vasoconstriction issues. Using nicotine to offset specific neurological conditions may have benefits, but caution is advised, especially for younger individuals.
Approaches to Managing ADHD
A combination of behavioral, nutritional, supplement-based, and prescription tools can be effective in managing ADHD. Tailoring treatment to individual needs and considering a holistic approach involving various tools can lead to better outcomes. Understanding the benefits and potential risks of pharmaceutical interventions is crucial in ADHD management.
Recommendations for Improved Sleep Habits
Quality, quantity, regularity, and timing are key factors in improving sleep habits. Maintaining consistent sleep patterns, regulating environmental factors like light exposure, and focusing on sleep quality can significantly impact overall sleep health. Implementing sleep hygiene practices can help in achieving better sleep outcomes.
Parenting Principles for Child Development
Creating boundaries and fostering a sense of safety and realness in children are essential principles of parenting. Encouraging children to explore their unique interests and allowing them to express their emotions can contribute to their overall well-being and development. Acknowledging and validating children's feelings and experiences can help in building trust and a strong parent-child relationship.
Recently I had the pleasure of hosting a live event in Brisbane, Australia. This event was part of a lecture series called The Brain Body Contract. My favorite part of the evening was the question and answer period, where I had the opportunity to answer questions from the attendees of each event. Included here is the Q&A from our event at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
