The clinical study was 80%. Holy crap. That's insane. The average improvement in sleep, duration of sleep was in the high 70s. There was improvement in recovery, energy, libido, hair, skin, and nails, reduction in anxiety, and recovery from stressful situations much faster. Damn.

Chapter 2: How does cortisol affect our body and sleep?
Cortisol face is one of the big ones. Cortisol is stress. Stress is cortisol. Stress is anxiety. Everything gets kind of interwoven to one another and they are linked, but they are not interchangeable.
Yeah, I actually assumed it was stress, so it's not stress.
It's the easiest way of doing it. Cortisol is your fight or flight hormone. It is your body's natural alarm system to tell you when you need to be on alert. Typically, it's used as a safety system. Highlight, you're about to be mugged, there's a fire in the building, something's happened that requires your instant attention, like there's an accident, there's a fire, something is to get you up.
then all of a sudden adrenaline kicks in and that is the basically the the chemical that's helping you actually get into action so one is kind of waking you up to it getting you hyper focused the other one is getting you into action to actually do something about it got it and the problem that we have as a society especially over the past 30 years is the fact that our cortisol levels are getting higher and higher and higher
because we are doing more and more and more at a faster pace. And that's what's causing high levels of cortisol, which directly affects how we sleep. And that sleep is what is critical to all of us. It's the original biohacking. If you sleep, you actually get to regenerate, to recover. And in your deep sleep, you make your sex hormones, your testosterone, your estrogen, your progesterone.
So a lot of people are supplementing with HRT when really they should be focusing on protecting and getting more sleep. Interesting.
Why do you think the cortisol levels are so high these days?
Technology, 100%. So phones. Yeah. Yeah, if you think about it, 30 years ago, we didn't have the internet, right? Or just beginning. We didn't have email. We didn't really have smartphones at all. And so the pace of life was much slower. You wanted to... watch a series of TVs, you go to get a DVD or Blu-ray, something like that, and you could go through it, but it was costly, right?
You'd have to have a lot of money to go binge watch all the shows because you'd have to buy the DVDs and the Blu-rays. Prior to that, you would go to Blockbuster or a video store, And you would be one or two copies of that movie behind the sleeve on the shelf. And if you were lucky, you got that one and you got to watch it, right? One per weekend, maybe two.

Chapter 3: Why are modern lifestyles increasing cortisol levels?
I remember watching Shark Tank as a kid and Damon John said he only sleeps five hours a day.
You know, that is an interesting topic that we've spoken about quite a bit, which is there is a mentality in the United States to do more, work harder, sleep less. Time is wasting. There's opportunity out there. But at what cost? And I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about your health. Right. And so, um, scientifically speaking, medically speaking, you need seven to eight hours.
And the way that I look at it is if you got four hours of sleep, how are you functioning that next day? Are you 100% with it? Are you as sharp as a tack? No, not even close. Right. So you're making bad decisions potentially or making poor judgment calls versus if I got the seven to eight hours and you were operating at 95, 100% effectiveness, you're going to be far better off.
You're going to do more in a shorter period of time. than you would if you operate on less sleep and need it all day to get it done. So there's efficiency associated with actually looking at it going, hmm, yeah, if I actually get a good night's sleep, I'm going to be 10 times more productive and effective tomorrow than if I got two hours of sleep or three hours of sleep.
And a lot of people wear that as a badge of honor. Yeah, I need to operate on three hours of sleep. I'm like, well, I'm not getting in the car with you.
Hell no. They say you're actually drunk, right, if you don't sleep?
Yeah.
Like your blood alcohol is the same level?
They're not blood alcohol, but I mean, in terms of your, you know, decision-making skills and reflexes and ability to make decisions when operating either heavy equipment or whether you're driving a car or whether you're making financial decisions and important life and death decisions, you shouldn't do it on three hours of sleep.
