The CDC is now categorizing insufficient sleep as an epidemic, associating the problem with increased risk for numerous health conditions and injury.

Mark and Dr. Gladden discuss the slippery slope of poor sleep habits, the “fly-wheel” effect that can have a negative impact on your health in so many different ways.

Sufficient, quality sleep supports our health, creativity, intellectual capacity and much more while we’re awake.

Mark and Dr. Gladden explain the natural, complex process of the sleep-wake cycle. They offer a number of suggestions to reduce things that often hinder good sleep and recommend good habits to improve sleep.

Taking Charge of Your Own Health Care – a Conversation with Dr. Kevin Wacasey – Episode 37

Mark and Dr. Gladden open the show discussing some of Mark’s health and fitness progress, and they touch on how to safely obtain and use peptides.

Next, they invite Dr. Kevin Wacasey onto the show. After a background in emergency room care, Dr. Wacasey opened a direct patient care (also called direct primary care) practice in 2013. He started this in reaction to seeing his patients paying massive amounts for basic care, because of their insurance. They discuss a number of issues related to our “sick care system” that exists in the U.S., calling for an end to the managed care model. They talk about the independent healthcare mindset and how patients need to be educated about what they’re actually paying for. As insurance dictates what tests or procedures you can or cannot get, you may be denied the care you really want.

Our current insurance system is profit-driven, not outcome-driven or patient focused. To be at our best health and performance, we must take control of our own health care.
