Yoga With Jake Podcast

In the U.S.today, an estimated 40 million people take advantage of the incredible mental and physical benefits that yoga has to offer. Of these 40 million yogis, only a quarter of them are men. This staggering gender disparity is improving, as more and more men feel inclined to reap the health benefits this practice has to offer, but there is still quite a bit of work to be done.

In this episode of A SENSe of Wellness, Susan Greeley, MS, RDN, sits down with Jake Panasevich, who is a yoga instructor with over 16 years of experience. Specializing in yoga for men and athletes, he's worked with male professionals on the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies, and the Philadelphia Union, and he teaches a popular grassroots men's class in Philadelphia. Jake and Susan address the massive gender gap within this wellness practice, the societal norms and constraints that cause barriers for men practicing yoga, and the profound effect of positive reinforcement on the male psyche. In addition to hearing about the role of yoga in the world of professional athletes, listen as they talk about yoga's positive impact on treating pain and managing stress, weight loss, sleep and mental health, and much more.

Satchin Panda, PhD is a Professor at the Salk Institute in California, where his research focuses on the circadian regulation of behavior, physiology, and metabolism in model organisms and in humans. Dr. Panda discovered a blue-light sensing cell type in the retina entrains our master circadian clock, affects mood, and regulates the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Recently, he discovered that maintaining a daily feeding-fasting cycle – popularly known as time-restricted feeding (TRF) – can prevent and reverse metabolic diseases. Based on a feasibility study in humans, his lab is currently carrying out a smartphone-based study to assess the extent of circadian disruption among adults. Dr. Panda has received the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research, Dana Foundation Award in Brain and Immune System Imaging, and was a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences.
