Welcome to a brand new episode of the Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast, where today we're diving deep into the world of sleep science with our esteemed guest, and former Navy SEAL, Kirk. Known as the "sleep guy" in military circles, Kirk brings a wealth of knowledge from his transition into the medical field, specifically on the topic of how sleep—or the lack thereof—affects our metabolic health and performance.
In this episode, we unpack the mysteries of sleep and discuss its anabolic nature, the significance of each sleep stage, and the intricate physiological processes our bodies undergo during slumber. Kirk draws from his extensive experience to explain how he helped soldiers off prescription sleep medications, which in turn led to vast health improvements.
Dr. Shawn Baker, with his shared military background and orthopedic expertise, joins the conversation to delve into the repercussions of sleep deprivation and the risks associated with commonly used sleep drugs. You'll hear about the impact of poor sleep on everything from emotional processing and risk of disease to everyday performance and longevity.
We also outline practical strategies for improving sleep quality, including supplement recommendations, meditative practices, and sleep hygiene techniques. Kirk's valuable insights extend to managing sleep troubles in the elderly and mitigating jet lag.
