Angela presents a bitesize preview of her forthcoming conversation with Dr Gregory Kelly, a naturopathic physician and vice president of product development at Qualia Life Sciences.
Together they examine the fascinating world of nootropics, specifically focusing on natural compounds that enhance brain power and cognitive function. Dr. Kelly shares his insights on the key ingredients in Qualia Mind, such as L-theanine, taurine, and saffron, which work synergistically to improve focus, creativity, and emotional regulation without the jitters often associated with caffeine.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Using nootropics like Qualia Mind can enhance emotional regulation and empathy, leading to better interactions with loved ones, especially after a long day.
Important nootropic ingredients include L-theanine, taurine, adaptogens like rhodiola, and choline precursors, which work together to enhance focus, reduce jitteriness, and support long-term cognitive health.
To maximise the benefits of nootropics, it's recommended to cycle their use, taking breaks to prevent adaptation and maintain effectiveness over time.
For best results, nootropics should be taken 30 to 40 minutes before engaging in focused work or athletic performance, with the option to combine with additional caffeine if needed.
BEST MOMENTS
"The brain performs better when it has more resources. And when it doesn't, the harder jobs it does, like managing our emotions, having empathy, executive functions, are what suffer."
"If our brain works better, it's so much easier to do all the other things we need to do to stay healthy."
"More is not always better. Stacking things together will bring out the best in our performance."
"Saffron has quite a few really good nootropic studies, including some for focus."

Angela is joined by Dr Morgan Nolte, a geriatric physical therapist, to explore the critical topic of insulin resistance and its widespread impact on health.
Dr Nolte shares her journey from traditional physical therapy to focusing on disease prevention, emphasising the importance of understanding insulin's role in blood sugar regulation. She also delves into the differences between insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, highlighting the often-overlooked significance of fasting insulin levels
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Insulin Resistance Basics: Insulin regulates blood sugar, but chronic high levels lead to resistance, increasing risks of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other chronic conditions. Early Warning Signs: Indicators like high blood pressure, skin tags, fatigue, and cravings may hint at underlying insulin resistance even before blood sugar levels rise. Lifestyle is Key: Adopting a low-carb, high-protein diet, engaging in strength training, walking post-meals, and managing stress and sleep can reverse insulin resistance. Testing Matters: Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR are better indicators of insulin resistance than traditional glucose and HbA1c tests.TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS

ABOUT THE GUEST
Tina Anderson’s journey into the world of health had a unique start and some unusual turns. She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health, and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina along with her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.

Angela welcomes Dr. Peter Martone, an expert in sleep biomechanics, to discuss the critical impact of sleep positioning on overall health and well-being. Dr. Martone shares insights on how proper spinal alignment during sleep can enhance restorative sleep, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for reducing stress and promoting recovery.
The conversation delves into the concept of the "triune of sleep," emphasising the importance of alignment, subconscious safety, and conscious relaxation techniques
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
The Sleep Triune: Alignment, Safety, and Subconscious Control: Dr Martone presents the Sleep Triune, explaining that true sleep quality starts with proper alignment. If the body is misaligned during sleep, it leads to subconscious pain, causing tossing and turning throughout the night. Corrective Sleep Positioning for Spinal Health: The ideal sleep position is lying on the back with arms at the side, legs straight, and a pillow under the neck (not the head). This position supports the natural cervical curve and prevents long-term structural problems. Sleep Avatars: Personalising Sleep Based on Subconscious Patterns: Dr Martone categorises sleepers into three avatars—Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich—based on their subconscious sleep habits. Understanding your sleep type can help tailor strategies to improve both sleep quality and overall health. Optimising the Vagus Nerve for Better Health: Misalignment in the cervical spine can compress the vagus nerve, leading to a range of issues, from poor digestion and immune system dysfunction to anxiety and depression. Aligning the neck properly during sleep can enhance vagus nerve function and improve parasympathetic tone. Breathing Techniques to Calm the Mind: Focusing on long exhalations rather than inhalations helps calm the mind and body. Dr Martone recommends a simple technique: breathe in slowly, let the breath out even more slowly, and pause before inhaling again.TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS
00:01 – Introduction to Dr Peter Martone and the role of sleep positioning in health. 01:41 – The Sleep Triune: Why proper alignment is crucial for sleep and health. 06:51 – Corrective sleeping position: Back sleep with pillow under the neck, not the head. 13:15 – Understanding the three sleep avatars: Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich. 21:07 – Impact of vagus nerve compression on parasympathetic function. 33:49 – Strategies to calm the subconscious: Pressure points and breathing techniques. 37:42 – Importance of exhaling for falling asleep: A simple breathing exercise. 41:28 – Customising sleep strategies based on sleep avatars. 42:42 – How sleep posture impacts your ability to create the reality you want. 45:15 – Call to Action: Take the Animal Sleep Avatar Quiz at DoctorSleepRight.com.For more information and to connect with Dr Peter Martone, visit DoctorSleepRight.com or follow him on Instagram @DoctorSleepRight.
