Kirk Parsley: Why Sleep Impacts Every Aspect of Life and How You Can Improve and Protect Your Sleep

Kirk "Doc" Parsley completed SEAL training as a teenager and served on SEAL Team Five for 6 years. After leaving to attend college, Kirk received his medical degree and returned to the military as the physician for the West Coast SEAL teams. It was while helping the world's most elite warriors optimize and maintain their performance after years of sustained combat that he noticed a significant gap between "healthcare" and true "health." Kirk was compelled to delve into extensive alternative medical literature, synthesizing and applying plans that relied minimally on pharmaceuticals, supplements, or gadgets. His unparalleled success led him to become a sought-after medical human performance expert, not only for Navy SEALs but also for various military special forces commands. Kirk firmly believes that 80% of health is derived from focusing on Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress mitigation, with a strong emphasis on Sleep.

Doc Parsley was the first person in our universe that helped us understand the importance of sleep. In this episode, we learn the mechanisms by which sleep impacts every aspect of life, and it is filled with practical and actionable information on what you can do to improve and protect your sleep.
