The Myth of "Perfect" Sleep: Why Waking Up at Night Might Be Normal
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and wondered why? While modern society treats uninterrupted sleep as the gold standard, history and biology suggest that biphasic sleep—waking for a period in the night—is actually quite normal. In this post, we explore why some people are naturally wakeful at night, how age and stress impact sleep rhythms, and when wakefulness signals a deeper imbalance. Plus, learn practical tips to work with your body's natural rhythm instead of fighting against it.
Why Do Multivitamins Have More Than the RDA?
The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) were established (in the 1940-50s) to prevent acute nutrient deficiencies, focusing on minimum requirements for survival. However, modern research indicates that higher nutrient intakes may support optimal health, energy, and disease prevention. Factors such as stress, environmental toxins, and individual variations can increase nutrient needs beyond the RDA. Consequently, many multivitamins provide nutrients in amounts exceeding 100% of the RDA to address these enhanced requirements and promote overall well-being.

Brain Regions That Bridge, Filter, & Regulate (Part 3)
Our brain is a symphony of interconnected regions, each playing a crucial role in how we think, feel, and respond to the world. In this post, we explore some of the most fascinating yet often overlooked areas—the thalamus, insular cortex, corpus callosum, brainstem, and reticular activating system (RAS). Learn how these regions act as bridges, regulators, and filters for our sensory, emotional, and physical experiences.
