Biphasic sleeping compared to monophasic sleeping - Are sleep benefits equal? How to optimise for biphasic sleeping?
Is Biphasic sleeping safe for high quality sleep and recovery, in comparison to monophasic? So, sleeping at night and also taking a nap (even sleeping a full sleep cycle of 90 minutes or maybe more if needed). If it can be done without negative effects, how can we optimise for best sleep in a biphasic fashion? Caffeine timing, or no caffeine? How long to adapt to a new sleeping rhythm? I find I will go to bed 10-12pm (schedule can vary) and often wake up around 5 or 6am, but then I feel it's a good idea to take a nap later in the afternoon for a full cycle. I'll sometimes try and just sleep longer in the morning, but I'd prefer to do biphasic if it can be done healthily. Appreciate any insight, thank you!
Anti-microbrial protocol - How best to detox and cleanse system
Would love to explore more strategies for detoxing and cleansing system, and perhaps tests that can be done. Currently working with a functional medicine practitioner (Ways2Well) and going through a GI mapping test, mould tests and others to investigate and cleanse system of mic-otoxins, etc. Would love a deep dive on this topic! First, tests that can be done to examine problems and second, supplements and protocols to promote detoxification. Thanks!
Real benefits of Gree Drinks
Do supplement drinks like AG1 and alike really benefit the overall wellbeing? Does the data show the effectiveness of these drinks? Are there long Time studies showing the effectiveness? And Are there any side effects to start drinking those green drinks? Can vitamins minerals etc even be absorbed and used in such a blended mix of ingredients.
Implementation Science Guest Request to compliment Dr. Robert Lustig episode
Thank you for yesterday's episode with Dr. Robert Lustig. It contained some information that I have been trying to convey to my parents about their health situations, so I will definitely share some clips with them. During the episode, you posed a question about enacting change at a corporate/political level. Since Dr. Lustig advised change most effectively starts from within the medical community, I would be interested to hear from an Implementation Science professor at UCSF. They can discuss methods of promoting the integration of research findings into healthcare policy/practice and the behavioral challenges of getting patients to change. I think this new field of study could be especially useful in this discussion, because poor food choices are due to two main factors (assuming you already have access to high quality food): lack of knowledge and dealing with sugar addiction.
