What if your sleep problem is being treated the wrong way?
In Episode 300 of the Now + Then Podcast, Dr. Bart Precourt and Callie Michaelis examine why insomnia may require more than a sleeping pill and how stress, nervous-system regulation, caffeine, alcohol, blood sugar, and daily habits may affect your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
They also explore what a swallowable camera reveals about whole foods versus ultra-processed foods inside the digestive system, why counting calories does not tell the complete health story, and how food quality influences digestion, metabolism, and long-term health.
