The Sleep Whisperer Podcast

Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is a Relationship and Intimacy Expert, who helps couples build beautiful, stable, long-lasting, passionate relationships. She is the bestselling author of Uncompromising Intimacy and the creator of the "Aligned and Hot Marriage" program. Alexandra has been featured in the Huffington Post, USAToday, Cosmopolitan, Business Insider, FOX NEWS NYC, and many other publications.

A wife of 24 years and a mother of 4, Alexandra believes the key to passion, fulfilment, intimacy and success isn't compromise--it's being unwilling to compromise--because when both people feel free to be themselves, and know how to love and be loved for exactly who they are, the relationship is juicy, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.

For over 20 years she has shown men and women how to bring pleasure and purpose into all aspects of life--from the daily grind of running a household, to clear and intimate communication, to ecstatic experiences in the bedroom.

"Insulin Resistance and Sleep"

• Dr Bikman has really looked deep into fat cells and the role of insulin. What made him so fascinated about insulin resistance and exploring this so deeply? What are inflamed fat cells?
• What can fat cells do in the body and the role of insulin? Is obesity something that can be ignored?
• Do certain diets predispose someone towards insulin resistance?
• What exactly is insulin resistance? How can you know if you are insulin resistant?
• How does insulin resistance impact all health?
• How can insulin resistance impact sleep?
• How can long term poor sleep that is ignored impact how insulin behaves in your body? What are the three pillars that lead to insulin resistance?
• What are the ways you can improve insulin resistance in terms of diet and habits? How do you actually know that you are insulin resistant and how would you know if that has improved?
• If someone is struggling with poor sleep and insulin resistance, where should they begin?

In this episode, we dive into:

"Weaning Off Sleep Medication"

• Why did Nishi choose the path of psychiatry and eventually focus on sleep? How is a clinical psychiatrist different from a psychologist?
• Millions of people worldwide take prescription drugs to fall asleep and have the potential danger of getting addicted to them. Frequent use of sleep medication has been linked to greater mortality rates. This is a very concerning issue. What are sleeping pills (specifically benzodiazepines and Z-drugs)?
• What do people begin to take them? Are they prescribed short term? Are they self prescribed?
• Typically this class of medication is potentially addictive. What are the side effects of these drugs? Are there physiological ramifications as well? What are short term side effects? What are long term side effects? Can some of them be frightening?
• Why don't they work long term? Is it because they lose effect? Is it also that they are potentially dangerous and impact you beyond just sleep?
• Often, people end up scared of even attempting to let go of sleeping medication. There are several instances where people have been on them for years and close their eyes to impact because they are so fearful of stopping them. Can they wean off? How can they get off them?
• What are four categories of root causes of poor sleep?
• What about supplements or over the counter medications for sleep?
• How can you improve sleep instead of taking sleeping pills?

If I take a look at each of us, there is so much of an interdependency which we have with the rest of the universe, that we tend to underestimate that. These are words of wisdom from our guest today.

Mukesh is a venture capitalist and the cofounder of Scital, a science community platform provider that enables students to engage and get mentored by experts from various industries. Mukesh has an excellent balance of large scale global corporate experience across the television and healthcare business combined with rich entrepreneurial experience both as a successful entrepreneur and as a Mentor and advisor to a host of startups and investors. Mukesh ran the Japan and LATAM operations for DIRECTV and was also involved in their successful bankruptcy turnaround. Subsequently, he founded Akeso Healthcare, a fast growing healthcare startup which got acquired by the Apollo Hospitals Group. He is a husband, father, spiritual seeker, mentor, entrepreneur and venture partner. We are talking with Mukesh about Eating & Better Sleep on a Budget. This episode is packed with thoughtfully specific protocols to get you started on supporting your sleep and health while staying on a low budget. We are so excited to have him here today!

In this episode, we dive into:

"Eating & Better Sleep on a Budget"

• What made Mukesh so compassionate?
• When local farms are established, eating local protects farmland. Reducing food miles helps alleviate our dependence on fossil fuels, reduce air pollution and cut back on greenhouse gas emissions. Why is this critical to India?
• In today's world, health has become both talked about and moved in the direction of temporary fads and away from local application. How can nutrition and lifestyle recommendations be adapted in a way that it is extremely accessible, affordable and applicable to masses?
• How can an anti-inflammatory diet framework be applied on a budget? What are actionable ways in which someone can eat healthy without impacting themselves financially?
• If you compare your grandfather's time to now, how have daily practices that impact sleep changed? What would sitting in a simple home two generations ago look like for morning and evening practices?
• Each tradition has interesting sleep norms and culture that allow for local relevance to play. In Spain, siesta is a way of life. In Japan, people sleep on mats made of rice straw called Tatami mats. In South America, hammocks are used to nap. Do you recall any local traditions in India woven around sleep?
• How can someone create a sleep space including the surface to lie on, mattress, linen all on a budget?
