Sleep is My Waking Passion
I am a fellowship-trained and Board Certified Sleep Medicine specialist, and chronic insomniac turned sleep biohacker, who is on a mission to empower my listeners to improve their sleep naturally. Season 2 will explore insomnia as a symptom of other deeper issues and sleep disorders. It is all about circadian misalignment, sleep apnea, rare central disorders of hypersomnia, and beyond. Wellness is about maintaining our health as long as possible, and maximizing our potential for restful sleep is a critical part of the equation. Have a listen!
