IN THIS EPISODE:
● [5:31] What is a biohack?
● [14:46] Why many biohacks can be misleading.
● [15:32] What is the ultimate biohack?
● [17:21] What is insomnia?
● [20:08] Why do we deprive ourselves of sleep?
● [25:00] How can you set up your day to support quality sleep?
● [30:26] What are the four stages of the sleep cycle?
● [32:58] What are the biggest things that impact the quality of our sleep?
● [36:06] What is your own best sleep cocktail?
● [43:58] Jenn’s final thoughts on sleep.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
● [15:57] If you remedy your sleep, you can reduce many health symptoms and challenges.
● [28:44] The biggest impacts on your health come from doing the little things consistently, and then adding a new little thing once the first has become a habit, rather than doing a dramatic thing that happens occasionally.
● [43:59] Health happens when we sleep, and our biohacks are a lot of wasted effort if you don’t have the fundamentals in place first.
QUOTES:
[9:00] “When we see it as the magic bullet, I think the implementation of that is that people say, that’s the only thing I need to do. I can do the one thing and then nothing else matters, this is the thing that’s going to undo all the others, and that’s not exactly the case.” - Jenn Trepeck
[14:20] “You can’t supplement your way out of poor nutrition. It’s fighting an uphill battle all the time. You take one step forward, two steps back over and over, every time you hyperfocus on these other things, instead of focusing on the consistency of the fundamentals.” - Jenn Trepeck
[19:53] “All of these things connect to what happens when we sleep, if we aren’t getting that repair, it stands to reason we’re going to have a whole host of malfunctions.” - Jenn Trepeck
[30:48] “This is where the body’s biology is so smart and it does it on its own, and sometimes our best bet is to get out of the way. Let it do its thing and get out of the way.” - Jenn Trepeck
[43:59] “Health happens with sleep, and our biohacks are a lot of wasted effort if we do not have the fundamentals in place. Your biohacks are a thimble of water on your house fire, and when we’re tempted to go toward the shiny object and the biohack from the guru, pause and recognize that what we really need is consistency in the fundamentals and probably a little bit more sleep and we’re all going to be just fine.” - Jenn Trepeck
