About the transcript

I have difficulties in logging in to watch the full transcript on the website. Any one know the solution?

Idiopathic Hypersomnia

Hi! I would like to hear your point of view on idiopathic hypersomnia diagnosis, treatment, and current research. It is a difficult diagnosis to have as a patient. From a clinical standpoint, they just want to prescribe everyone sodium oxybate, which I have a hard time getting on board with. Sleep disorders are extremely hard to navigate, even as a nurse practitioner! Another good note would be how patients can get involved in research/clinical trials! Thanks!

Fueling for running

What’s the science behind fueling? How should one fuel before a run or exercise?

How much control does a person have to be able to train his startle response?

How would I train myself to respond a certain way when startled, mainly the response where the arms move to a protective position to cover the head? How can I train myself to respond more quickly to a stimulus when I get startled? How can I train myself to startle to certain stimuli that I or anyone normally don't startle to, and also train myself to respond a certain way to that stimulus? (I'm hoping to gain more information in addition to Coach Tony Blauer's SPEAR System training. I do already know about him as a resource.)

How to use cyclic hyperventilation for different results

How would I use cyclic hyperventilation for stress inoculation and how would I use it to make myself alert when I’m feeling unmotivated or lazy? Can I get more information about how to use cyclic hyperventilation for stress inoculation and any information for stress inoculation whatsoever?
