Best of all, I'm including a short, 7 minute episode to help you on your journey to better brain health. Check it all out below, enjoy!
How is sleep related to ageing?
As long as humans have been self-aware of our life cycle, we’ve looked for ways to slow it down. Beat back the ageing process. Maybe even achieve something like immortality. In the below episode with Dr. Frank Lipman, we discussed the ageing process including gut microbiome, nutrition and sleep as it relates to ageing.
Did you know that sleep is intimately tied to the longevity survival circuit? NAD - Sirt1 are actually the master regulators of circadian rhythms!
The body has to restore itself overnight, and if you skip sleep, you are pushing yourself closer and closer into old age. Take a nap every once and while. It’s amazing what it will do for your health. Click the link below to listen to the full episode!
