The DAILY HACKS To Improve Sleep, PREVEN...

Impact Theory
About this episode

For most of us, when we think of melatonin, the first thing we think of is “a chemical to make you feel sleepy”.

And while it’s true that melatonin plays a critical role in governing our circadian rhythm, it turns out that melatonin is also one of the most powerful antioxidants produced in the body.

This is a huge deal when it comes to disease prevention, as oxidative stress and inflammation are primary causes of some of the deadliest and most common diseases known to man.

In today’s episode of Health Theory, Dr. Roger Seheult breaks down the science of melatonin, vitamin D, circadian rhythm, and much more.

So whether you’ve been having trouble sleeping, are worried about inflammation and disease prevention, or just want to brush up on your biochemistry, then I promise you’ll get something beneficial out of today’s episode.
