If you came to listen in on a conversation, you’ll have to settle with just me this week. Perhaps you can think of it as a monologue that I put together just for you?

Today, I give a little more context about the importance of sleep — how sleep happens and how to set yourself up for the best sleep for you.

Resources I mentioned:

* Insight into Health Framework

* Chronotype Quiz

* The first article in my series on sleep (subscribe for free to receive upcoming articles)

Thanks for being here,

Listen in on my conversation with Dr. Mary Flett, a clinical psychologist with a lot to share about defining good sleep, handling sleep anxiety, and cutting yourself some slack.

For more information on sleep “hygiene,” refer to trusted resources like Dr. Matt Walker’s podcast & book and the National Sleep Foundation.

Learn more about Dr. Mary at drmaryflett.com - "No matter who is on the other side of the conversation with me, I offer compassionate honesty, real tools, and an experienced ally who will help you create your own pathway forward as all of us navigate aging in the 21st century.  Consultations available by Zoom or phone."

Hi, and welcome to the first episode of the Insight into Health podcast. Listen in on my conversation with Dr. Larry Burchett, where I try to make him laugh, and he’s “not impressed by that.”

Are you tired? Dragging? Just... feel bad?

Hear what an experienced emergency medicine physician has to say about improving mood and energy levels, coming from a person who has seen it all.
