Sleep And Your Carnivore Health | Dr. Shawn Baker & Kirk Parsley
Welcome to a brand new episode of the Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast, where today we're diving deep into the world of sleep science with our esteemed guest, and former Navy SEAL, Kirk. Known as the "sleep guy" in military circles, Kirk brings a wealth of knowledge from his transition into the medical field, specifically on the topic of how sleep—or the lack thereof—affects our metabolic health and performance. In this episode, we unpack the mysteries of sleep and discuss its anabolic nature, the significance of each sleep stage, and the intricate physiological processes our bodies undergo during slumber. Kirk draws from his extensive experience to explain how he helped soldiers off prescription sleep medications, which in turn led to vast health improvements. Dr. Shawn Baker, with his shared military background and orthopedic expertise, joins the conversation to delve into the repercussions of sleep deprivation and the risks associated with commonly used sleep drugs. You'll hear about the impact of poor sleep on everything from emotional processing and risk of disease to everyday performance and longevity. We also outline practical strategies for improving sleep quality, including supplement recommendations, meditative practices, and sleep hygiene techniques.

Teach Your Kids About Carnivore | Dr. Shawn Baker, Theo, and Nicole
Theo, a Belgian musician and entrepreneur, and Nicole, a visual artist and anthropologist from Hong Kong, are the creative minds behind a Carnivore Picture Storybook aimed at the Carnivore Community. Their journey began after Theo discovered the carnivore diet while treating his chronic health issues, including asthma and IBS. The couple turned to carnivore diet, a shift that significantly improved both of their health. This dietary transition, coupled with Nicole's contrasting experiences between the sugary European diet and her meat-rich Hong Kong heritage, inspired them to author a Carnivore Picture Storybook aimed at the Carnivore Community and beyond. Living across France, Belgium, and the UK, the couple is committed to promoting the carnivore diet not only as a healthy choice but as a way of life, especially as they plan to start a family. They recognize a gap in educational materials about carnivore eating for younger audiences and see their book as a pivotal step towards filling this void.
