Striking a balance btwn poor sleep vs. long-term use of OTC sleep aids
Sleep is the foundation of our mental and physical health and performance in all endeavors, no doubt. For those of us who struggle to get a full night's sleep without OTC sleep aids, does it make more sense to get a good night's sleep with sleep aids or suffer through insufficient and/or disrupted sleep? I have personal interest in the long-term use of doxylamine succinate, which I find super helpful in small doses, but it would be cool to learn about OTC sleep aids more broadly. What are the potential risks of long-term use? How does the risk-benefit profile compare to the effects of poor sleep? (I feel like I should add that I spoke to my physician about this, who shrugged and said it was probably fine so long as I took precautions to avoid developing physiological tolerance.) It would be awesome if you could do a deeper dive into health trade-offs associated OTC sleep meds.

How do you research and find tools for each episode
What is your step by step approach to research every episode and find a compelling story? (e.g. pubmed search, asking colleagues, extra resources? etc.) And how do you extract tool/protocols out of it? That would be so exciting!! Thanks a lot!

I’ve just been through most of your series with Galpin and am deeply impressed - I’ve been looking for 20 years to find such frank, curiosity driven, high brow but simply explained knowledge on science backed subjects. The last time I saw this was on a show called the daily planet on the discovery channel - which I sadly miss to this day. Thank you for your work and I’ll now listen to all your podcasts. I simply would ask if you have thought of doing a podcast on CrossFit - hopefully tailoring Galpins thoughts to the CrossFit form of exercise. However, I would very much appreciate your thoughts on CrossFit - I’m considering going back to this but am at odds. Yea, nay, or meh ad you say!? Thanks again
