Off The Cuff with Danny LoPriore

Everybody Has Something; Finding and Dealing with Yours with Dr. Kristen Casey


Listen Later

Let’s face it; this world we call ours is crazy and getting crazier each year. We’re all, every last one of us, dealing with something, and many times, our unwillingness to admit this truth limits the life we could be living. 

“Take a look at the world we’re living in and be honest … who wouldn’t be depressed by what we see?” - Kristen

Today, I’ll spend time with Dr. Kristen Casey; a woman who is adept at building solutions that tap into the best of all of us. We’ll cover the entire gamut from sleep hygiene and the role sleep plays in our mental health to meals and when we eat to how past and current experiences with loved ones shape our lives. No matter what it is you’re facing, chances are she has seen it a time or two.

“Your brain will still respond to things while you’re sleeping. If you fall asleep with the television on your brain is responding to stimuli in the environment.” – Kristen 

Her journey has been an interesting one and one you won’t soon forget. She’s an author, a content creator, and entrepreneur who is keenly focused on delivering services that help others get the most out of their lives. 

“Sleep plays a role in your health and research shows that people who have poor quality sleep habits tend to have higher mortality rates. “
