| 06 Aug 2020 | Dr. Steven Lockley: Fix Your Sleep—Understanding circadian rhythm, jetlag, & more | 00:49:21 | |
Steven W. Lockley, Ph.D is a Neuroscientist in the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Sleep Medicine, Harvard Medical School. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and an Affiliated Faculty member of the Center for Health and the Global Environment, Harvard School of Public Health. He received his B.Sc. (Hons) in Biology from the University of Manchester, UK in 1992 and a PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Surrey, UK in 1997. He joined the faculty at Surrey in 1999 and the faculty at Harvard Medical School in 2003. “ The problems caused by jet lag cannot be tackled using generic advice, which is oversimplistic and can often be counterproductive, making jet lag worse. Each traveler and trip is different and requires a personalized approach taking your sleep pattern, chronotype, flight plan, and a range of personal preferences into account. — Steven W. Lockley, Ph.D. With nearly 25 years of research experience in circadian rhythm and sleep, Dr. Lockley is a specialist in ways to reset the circadian clock, particularly the role of light and melatonin. He has studied the effects of light on the circadian pacemaker extensively including the role of light wavelength, timing, duration and pattern. This work has led to development of ‘smart’ lighting applications designed to improve alertness, safety and productivity. He was also the first to show that daily melatonin administration could reset the biological clocks of totally blind people and treat non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder (N24HSWD), a serious circadian rhythm disorder. These studies inspired the clinical trials that led to the approval of tasimelteon, a melatonin agonist, as the first FDA- and EMA-approved drug to treat N24HSWD in the blind. Dr Lockley has also studied the impact of circadian disruption, long work hours, sleepiness and sleep disorders on performance and health in occupational groups, including doctors, police and firefighters, and has led several workplace interventions that have reduced workplace errors and injury. He also advises NASA on how to alleviate jetlag for astronauts traveling the globe and how to reduce the problems associated with shiftwork at NASA Mission Control. Dr. Lockley has published more than 150 original reports, reviews, chapters and editorials on circadian rhythms and sleep and his research is funded by NASA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) among others. He has won a number of awards including a Wellcome Trust International Prize Research Travelling Fellowship, the Sleep Research Society Young Investigator Award, the Healthy Sleep Community Award (as part of the Harvard Work Hours Health and Safety Group) from the National Sleep Foundation, the Harvard Club of Australia Foundation Harvard-Australia Fellowship, the Taylor Technical Talent Award from the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, and two awards from NASA: the Group Achievement Award (as part of the Chilean Miners NASA Rescue Support Team) and the Johnston Space Center Director's Innovation Team Award (as part of the ISS Flexible Lighting Team). He co-edited the first textbook on sleep and health ‘Sleep, health and society: From Aetiology to Public Health’ and recently co-authored ‘Sleep: A Very Short Introduction’ from Oxford University Press.

| 05 Nov 2020 | Dr. Heather Sandison: Detoxing & Healthy Aging | 00:49:25 | |
Most of us have had a disappointing interaction with the culture and approach of conventional medical care. Perhaps it was a doctor who prescribed a highly addictive medication for back pain while seeming minimally interested regarding the pain’s precise cause. Perhaps it was a doctor writing a script for an old-standby antibiotic for symptoms barely heard out let alone dynamically analyzed. Or maybe it was waiting weeks for an appointment with a specialist only to arrive on time for your appointment then wait for hours and spend 7 minutes with the doctor. Dr. Heather Sandison is not one of these doctors, and her practice is doing its part to drag approaches of yesteryear into the 21st century. After earning her N.D. at Bastyr University outside Seattle, she took her passion for true healthcare to San Diego, CA where she is the founder and medical director of North County Natural Medicine, a pioneering clinic of integrative medicine in Encinitas, CA. Her list of expertise is impressive: bio-identical hormone therapy, integrative neurochemistry balancing, Walsh metabolic integrative psychiatry, mold and environmental exposure detoxification, Egoscue postural therapy, thyroid balancing, gut-brain axis issues and more. She mentors students at Bastyr’s San Diego campus, preparing the next generation of medical professionals to care for the body as a whole, and for the root causes of its ailments. From Neurohacker Collective (where Dr. Sandison is advisor & podcast host): "Dr. Sandison’s broad naturopathic education made her particularly appreciative of Qualia’s potential. The feedback from her patients to whom she’s recommended Qualia have been so positive that she’s helping our research team in developing future NHC products. Utilizing bloodwork and diagnostics to create custom stacks is coming down the pike for NHC, and with educations as accomplished as Dr. Sandison helming our research, we’re more than a little pumped regarding our future product lineup."

| 16 Apr 2020 | Linda Wobeskya: The Zero Balancing body/mind therapy technique | 00:36:37 | |
Linda Wobeskya was pursuing a career as a professional contemporary dancer when she broke her foot during a dance class. Although she didn’t realize it at the time, the fracture in her foot would break open her life and lead her to her true calling. The course of her healing exposed her to both Physical Therapy and acupuncture. The Physical Therapy she received led to her achievement of a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy in 1986. Although her Physical Therapy training focused solely on the physical body, she knew intuitively that injury or illness can affect every level of a person. The acupuncture she had received led to her study of Zero Balancing, a therapeutic modality that would allow her to express this holistic awareness with direct hands-on treatment. She began using Zero Balancing with her patients immediately following her first class in 1992. Linda is also a dedicated teacher and has been drawn to teach whatever she is passionate about. After years of experience teaching dance and Physical Therapy, she certified to teach Zero Balancing in 2004 and has taught Zero Balancing all over the United States. She became the director of the Zero Balancing Certification Program in 2007 and joined the Board of Directors of the Zero Balancing Health Association in 2014. She has developed classes in the Zero Balancing curriculum that focus specifically on Zero Balancing touch. The clients in her private practice benefit from an integrative approach that combines Zero Balancing with the Zero Balancing forms of craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation.
