The #1 Anti-Aging Tool You’re Ignoring (Hint: It’s Free and Happens at Night)

Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show, and I often tell people that you can overeat your way fat, you can under-exercise your way fat, you can undersleep your way fat, and you can also overstress your way fat.

Just one night of sleep deprivation, we're seeing about 14% reduction in glucose reaching your brain. Now before we jump into today's episode, I'd like to note that while I wish I could help everyone by my personal practice, there's simply not enough time for me to do this at scale.

And that's why I've been busy building several passion projects to help you better understand, well, you.

Human beings are the only species that will deliberately deprive themselves of sleep for no apparent good reason.

Like doctors, you mean? And like doctors, exactly. But what does that tell us? That tells us is that Mother Nature has never had to face this challenge of sleep deprivation.
