Teenagers, Sleep and Mental Health

Teenagers and Sleep

A Whole9 guest post by Emily Deans M.D., a board certified psychiatrist with a practice in Massachusetts who teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School One of the reasons mental health problems can be so difficult and debilitating is that they tend to start when someone is quite young. Adolescence is a key developmental stage of the brain, which is not fully “adult” until the early 20s. Babies, children, and adolescents of all species need more sleep than their adult counterparts, mostly … [Read more...]

Secrets to a Good Night’s Sleep: Advanced Tips – Part 2

Advanced Sleep Tips at Whole9life.com

Whole9 guest post by Emily Deans M.D., a board certified psychiatrist with a practice in Massachusetts and she teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. In Part I of this series, we reviewed the importance of good sleep to brain health (summary: you die without it) and some basic sleep hygiene points managing the sleep cycle and circadian rhythms. But let’s say you try and try, you eliminate caffeine and you only drink a single beer at noon on Sunday while watching the football game.  You … [Read more...]

Improve Your Mental Health with Sleep – Part 1

Sleep and Mental Health at Whole9life.com

A Whole9 guest post by Emily Deans M.D., a board certified psychiatrist with a practice in Massachusetts and she teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Sleep is incredibly important for good mental health. In my view it comes ahead of exercise and a good diet…if you aren’t sleeping reasonably well, no matter how great your workout habits and how clean your diet, you are shoveling sand against the tide. It’s no coincidence that pretty much every major mental health condition you can … [Read more...]

3 Things You Should Know & Do But Probably Don’t

training recovery coach rut

Whole9 guest post by Coach Rut, who participates in the sport of weightlifting and is the current Kansas State Champion and the 2006, 2013 and 2014 National Master Champion at 94kg. During the week between Christmas and the New Year a very talented athlete started coming into the gym to workout twice per day.  This represented a doubling of her current training baseline and I saw the train wreck coming.  Sure enough the next week she succumbed to the influenza that had engulfed our … [Read more...]

Sleep: An Undervalued Ergogenic Aid

sleep

Note: The following is a repost from the Whole9 Archives. Enjoy! In February 2011, Dallas wrote an article for Performance Menu, the “journal of nutrition and athletic excellence” published each month by Greg Everett of Catalyst Athletics.  The article focused on the impact of sleep (or lack thereof) on your health and athletic performance. Thanks to the generosity of Catalyst Athletics, today we are offering Dallas' article for free - available to those without a subscription to … [Read more...]

Ask Whole9 Canada: Should you drink coffee?

Welcome to Ask Whole9 Canada, where Summer Innanen and Sarah Ramsden answer all of your health and nutrition questions. In this week’s episode, Clarissa from Toronto asks us, “Is coffee bad for you??” We'll say this up front--this is one topic that does not have a black or white answer. It is a situation where your individual context matters, as noted in the Whole9 Coffee Manifesto. We see studies that show that coffee can be good for us, but we cannot forget that coffee is a potent … [Read more...]

The 400,000 Hour Body

A nice little reminder from the Whole9 archives. Also, we've not read the 4 Hour Body, so can't speak to its contents - we just thought this title played nicely. We get a lot of questions about products, services and protocols that promise miraculous results - improved body composition, fitness, energy or health - with minimal effort. This slant is not new – the lure of a shortcut (or “free lunch”, as Gym Jones calls it) has been the carrot dangling from our health-and-fitness stick since … [Read more...]

The Whole9 Health Equation

whole9 health equation

Since founding the Whole9 in 2009, we've used “our 9” to address the multi-faceted nature of a healthy lifestyle with our consulting clients.  But after developing a great working relationship with Robb Wolf and attending several extraordinary nutrition seminars (including Robb’s), we decided to concentrate our public health focus on nutrition.  Since then, we’ve written extensively about nutrition’s role in a healthy lifestyle over the past several years, and conducted more than 70 Foundations … [Read more...]

the 4 hour body

We get a lot of questions about products, services and protocols that promise miraculous results - improved body composition, fitness, energy or health - with minimal effort.   This slant is not new – the lure of a shortcut (or “free lunch”, as Gym Jones calls it) has been the carrot dangling from our health-and-fitness stick since we first started paying attention to what we ate and how we moved.  And wouldn’t it be great if it were true?  If you could achieve all of your health and fitness … [Read more...]
