Sleep Aids: A to Zzz
Not all sleep aids are created equal. With dozens of options available ranging from natural supplements to prescription medications, finding the solution that will get you to sleep, keep you asleep, and not have unwanted side effects can be a challenge.
That's why pharmacist and nutritionist Joey DiMatteo is making it easy by ranking them! He discusses the ones that work, the ones don't, and how to choose based on the particular challenge you're facing.
After that, Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) goes over a study directly linking strength in older women to longevity. There are a host of reasons women over 60 should do resistance training, but a 33% reduced risk of mortality has to be one of the best!
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
• Which sleep aids work best.
• How to find the root of your sleep disturbance.
• Which prescription sleep aids a pharmacist would never take.
• When it's time for a sleep study.
• What single factor reduces risk of mortality by 33% in women 63+.
