The human being is the only animal that decides to sacrifice its hours of sleep. Different factors can influence its lack. We all know that stress, work, and responsibilities usually play a considerable role, but we must comprehend that this has consequences in the short and long term. Today Dr. Kirk Parsley will give us a masterclass. He will explain the importance, consequences, and benefits that sleep brings to our lives. Incredibly, some humans cannot do natural things such as rest. That's one of the reasons we dived into this subject deeper, not only to find answers but also to figure out how to improve our life by applying just a few extra hours of rest into our routines. Take notes! The fountain of youth is a dream away from you. ABOUT KIRK PARSLEY Dr. Kirk Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One from June 2009 to January 2013. While there, he led the development and supervised the group’s first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. He is a former SEAL, and received his Medical Degree from Bethesda, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in 2004. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006. His philosophy for wellness is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way. We evolved as a species. He believes that many diseases and disorders that we accept as “inevitable” in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. His passion is to help his patients and clients achieve the highest quality of life possible, and realize their health, performance, and longevity goals.
