Lewis Howes
About this episode

“It’s more difficult to think the thoughts we want to think when we don’t feel well.”

Today's guest is Shawn Stevenson, who is a graduate of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, where he studied business, biology, and nutritional science. He’s the founder of Advanced Integrative Health Alliance, a company that provides wellness services for individuals and organizations worldwide. He’s the author of the international bestselling book Sleep Smarter and creator of The Model Health Show and today we’re talking about his book Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain and Transform Your Life.

Our conversation was so powerful that I had to split it into 2 parts, so make sure to check out part 2 coming next week!

In this episode Lewis and Shawn discuss why more than 60% of people have chronic inflammation, how sleep affects your brain when you have enough or have too little, how our mental health is affected when we aren’t taking care of our body, the link between inflammation in the body and neuroinflammation, and so much more!
