Ever wonder What actually helps you sleep better, and what’s making your sleep worse without you realizing it?
In this episode, renowned sleep specialist and author of the book Sleep Drink Breathe, The Domino of Wellness, Dr. Michael Breus, also known as The Sleep Doctor, talks about the science of sleep and the habits that most directly influence how rested, focused and healthy we feel. He explains how insomnia gets diagnosed, why so many people are overprescribed sleep medication, and how cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia can help people rebuild healthy sleep patterns.
He also shares his work on chronotypes— and tells us how we can tell if we’re a lion, bear, wolf or dolphin— I’m a lion…many of us are. He discusses how our natural body clock influences the best times to sleep, work, exercise, drink caffeine, have alcohol, and even connect intimately. (you can take the quiz to find out your chronotype at his website sleepdoctor.com). He also covers melatonin myths, the effects of caffeine and wine on sleep quality, the role of hydration and breathwork, AND how meditation tools like Muse can support relaxation and sleep.
This episode is packed with practical, surprising, and highly actionable insights for anyone who wants to improve sleep, boost energy, and better understand their body’s natural rhythms.

Encore: Today I sit down with neurologist and neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi to unpack the science of neuroplasticity — the brain’s remarkable ability to change, rewire, and grow at any age. He’s adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins and author of the book The Invincible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan to Age-Proof Your Brain and Stay Sharp for Life. We discuss many things related to his book, from building new connections to strengthening memory-related regions of the brain, to the five pillars of brain health…fitness, sleep, nutrition, mindset and brain training. , Dr. Fotuhi explains why “age-related cognitive decline” and even Alzheimers isn’t as inevitable as we’ve been led to believe. I was particularly intrigued with his concept of "the soup of abnormalities." There’s lot’s of great stuff here.
