This episode unpacks the often overlooked link between our physical health and our mental capacity.

A while back, I was living the 'hustle and grind' life, waking up at 4:30 am, running on 5-6 hours of sleep, thinking I was pushing my limits. That was until my body started screaming for help. The lesson learned? The key to well-being and productivity wasn't any fancy medication, but simply - good sleep!

Dr. Matthew Walker's work on sleep is truly eye-opening. He states, "Sleep is the single most effective thing we can do to reset our brain and body health each day." That's right, folks. Good sleep not only protects you from grave health issues but also enhances learning, decision-making, and even emotional regulation.

But, we're not just talking about sleep here. Fitness, nutrition, and overall recovery play key roles too. Physical training is more than keeping in shape. It's about how our physical exertion influences our mental abilities. Remember what doc. Huberman says, "If you impose a demand on your system and then follow it up with proper rest, your system will adapt."

In essence, looking after your physical health is an investment in your mental prowess, which in turn, boosts your professional growth. So let's make time to exercise, eat well, and most importantly, sleep enough. Remember, success isn't a sprint, but a marathon. Join me in this vital conversation.
