We have an inspiring guest, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, who has been on before, but it's been a few years. And I wanted to really get clarity because she has so much research. She does so much great content that I wanted to try to simplify some of the things that are happening right now in the health and fitness space. There's so many different opinions. And I like to get the best expert with the best research that can help us optimize the different parts of our life where we're struggling in all areas of life. And in this episode, she really shares some surprising things, especially the surprising connection between resistance training, lactate production, and brain health, which I want you to pay attention to when we get into it.
Also, how to time your workouts and meals for optimal glucose regulation and cognitive performance. And she talks about one main supplement that I thought I was applying to my nutritional intake on a daily basis, but I'm not doing it enough. And she talks about the critical role of omega-3 fatty acids in longevity and why supplementation matters. I always go back and forth on supplementation. Is this actually mattering? Is this making a difference? She talks about the power of it and why you need to be paying attention to it and which supplements matter for you. That and so much more. I'm so excited that you're here today. I'm grateful for you. If you're enjoying this, make sure to click the follow button over on Apple or Spotify.

We have the inspiring Dr. Rhonda Patrick in the house. So good to see you. Thank you for being here. First time in person on the show, but second time on the show, right?
That's right. Great to be here.
I'm so excited that you're here. I've been a fan of your content for a long time. You've been serving humanity to help people improve their life by giving them the exact scientific peer reviewed protocols. and continually updating and optimizing these protocols over time for many years. Your podcast, your YouTube channel, your guides, your newsletter, they all add a lot of value to so many people. So I'm grateful that you're here. And there was something that we were talking about before we jumped on camera, which was around sleep. And I have a statistic, a couple stats that I saw online about sleep, and I want to have you reflect and share on this. because you have so many different levels of expertise around sleep, nutrition, supplements, food, training, and really optimizing the body.
But at this season of your life, I think we were talking about beforehand, sleep is something that people need to think about and their ability to work out and to physically build muscle and strength and aerobic exercise. But I saw a survey, a WebMD survey found that an average American sleeps 5.7 hours a night. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but 5.7 hours a night. And I also saw the National Institutes of Health says that six or seven hours of sleep is not enough and can lead to chronic sleep deprivation. I'm curious. Simple question. How many hours of sleep a night do you think humans actually do need to function at a high level? And if we don't sleep that much, what does that mean, this chronic sleep deprivation?
