  • The Woman Angler & Adventurer | Be a Part of the Women in the Outdoors Movement! : EP. 78 Why Women Hunt...
    The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast hosts Angie Scott and Barb Carey recently had the pleasure of meeting up with author and hunter K.J. Houtman. They were all attendees of the 2019 Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers (AGLOW) conference in beautiful LaCrosse, WI. 
    Houtman recently released a book entitled, "Why Women Hunt," so it was only fitting that the three women spend some time in a ground blind together on this trip. K.J. was outfitted with her bow, Barb with a crossbow and Angie was more than happy to be armed with only a GoPro to capture the scene. 
    Unfortunately, no deer graced the women with their presence during the short amount of time at their disposal in between conference events. However, nothing beats spending quality time surrounded by nature with your sisters.
    That's just one of the many reasons why women hunt. In her intimate examination of 18 different women hunters from all over the United States, Houtman reveals the diverse and deep motivations for hunting these women have.
    Hunters and non-hunters alike will be inspired by their stories which are accompanied by some beautiful photography. 
    Be sure and listen in to today's episode to find out more about this rapidly growing segment of the outdoor industry and gain some insight into the why behind it all. Then pick up a copy of K.J. Houtman's "Why Women Hunt." While you're at it, pick up an extra to gift to a family member or friend as (Christmas is just around the corner)!

  • Tom Rowland Podcast : Sleep: The Foundation Of Health - PHYSICAL FRIDAY #26
    After my last podcast, Sleep - One Of The Key Pillars Of Health, I got a lot of emails from people wanting to know more. So I went back and read this book by Dr. Matthew Walker who is a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. He is also the lead sleep scientist at Google. He wrote a book called Why We Sleep and it has completely changed my perspective on sleep.
    If you don’t have the time to read the book (which I highly recommend reading), I would suggest listening to one of the podcasts below:
    FindingMastery: Dr. Matthew Walker, Professor And Sleep Expert
    #1109 Joe Rogan Experience with Matthew Walker
    Both of these go super deep into the effects and importance of sleep and I think they are quite enjoyable. Let me know if you give them a listen and help me get Dr. Matthew Walker on this podcast!
    Here are some facts from the book that I found super fascinating:
    Research shows a number of people who can survive on 7 hours of sleep without showing any impairment. That number, rounded to a whole number and expressed as a percentage, is 0
    An NBA player on 8 hours of sleep will have 29% increase in points per minute. 12% increase in minutes played. 9% increase in free-throw percentage. He had 45% decrease in fouls and 37% decrease in turn-overs.
    There is a 40% memory deficit when you are sleep deprived, and it gets worse the more you lack sleep. For men who sleep 4-5 hours a night, they have a testosterone level of a man 10-years-older than their current age
    During daylight savings time, we lose an hour in the spring. There is a 24% increase in heart attacks the following day in the spring. While in the fall when we gain an hour there is a 21% decrease in the amount of heart attacks that day.
    If you sleep 5 hours, you are 10x more likely to get a cold
    Here are 5 Rules For Improving Your Sleep Quality:
    Have a solid sleeping routine. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day, on weekdays and weekends. Its not good if you are sleeping 8 hours one night and 5 the next.
    Darkness is far more important than you think. At home I cover up clock faces, I remove the TV, cover windows, turn off all lights. You want your room to be as dark as possible so that you can go to sleep and stay asleep. Keep your phone outside of your room, cover up the lights on smoke detectors and any other lights. It is in our make-up to go to bed when it is dark and wake up when it’s light. So, since in today’s world we can be in light 24/7 we need to be hyper aware of making our sleep environment super dark.
    Stimulate the production of Melatonin through temperature. It is pretty common to feel like you sleep better in the cold than in the hot. That is because with a dark cold room your body will produce melatonin and help you go to sleep. Also you will be able to get the best quality sleep if you can lower your body temperature 2ºF below its norm while you are asleep.
    Caffeine. This one is obvious, but hard to practice if you enjoy some coffee after lunch to give you a boost for the rest of the day. Dr. Matthew Walker talks about the half-life of coffee being 6 hours, and the quarter-life of coffee is 12 hours. Meaning if you drink a cup of coffee at 12pm, then it is like you drank a quarter cup of coffee at 12am. And at that point your brain is being stimulated and even if you are asleep, it isn’t the best quality sleep you could be getting.
    Alcohol, the depressant. Sedated sleep is not the same as good sleep. If you want to hear Matthew Walkers tips on when to drink and how much to still be able to get quality sleep, I recommend listening to one of the podcasts above.
