A Considered Life

In this week's episode, we discuss why good sleep is so important, what hinders your sleep, and what you can do for a good sleep routine.

This episode is in two parts, first half we review how we went with our version of the fasting-mimicking diet, then we discuss two types of breathwork, Wim Hof method and Andrew Huberman's physiological sigh. If you are short on time, jump to timestamp 25:28 for the breathwork portion.

In this episode we discuss the benefits from the spectrum of light we can not see, UV and infrared light. They impact our mitochondria function, immune system, and vitamin D levels. More evidence has been found about the benefits of exposure to this light and leading us to discuss how we are going incorporate sunlight exposure for the health benefit in our lives.

In this weeks episode, we discuss our journey and improvements that we are making in our exercise routine. We discuss incidental and zone 2 exercise and how we are going to implement this daily. And we also talk about how we can overcome things that might get in the way of reaching our goals.

Our conversation this week is on the very fascinating topic of fasting. We go over the two ways to fast and the way to mimic a fast and still get the benefits. We listened to what the top experts are saying on fasting. We discuss how fasting effects our bodies, the benefits and some risks of fasting, and how women should fast. You'll also learn what we are going to attempt.
