🚨SLEEP DEPRIVATION DAMAGES YOUR BRAIN—LITERALLY Sleep deprivation isn’t just tiring—it’s brain damage. A study on young participants found that just one night of bad sleep increased levels of the protein S-100B by 20%—the same spike seen in traumatic brain injuries. Once in the bloodstream, this protein triggers toxicity, potentially leading to neuronal death. How do you prevent this? Get high-quality sleep. Treat bedtime like the most important appointment of the day. Source: Instagram/ bryanjohnson_

This morning, Sage and I found a peaceful spot in the park right across from home. We spent a few minutes on breathwork, grounding, and light movement. These simple routines help you feel safe in your body, reset your circadian rhythm, and set you up for deep sleep tonight. It’s one of the most powerful ways to start the day, hoping everyone has a great week 🙏🏻🙏🏻 What’s one morning habit that makes you feel grounded? Drop it for me to see.

I love educating on health w the help of my medical team of doctors. As part of SO JAO campaign to create awareness on sleep crisis, I have made over 15 reels & this one addresses a very important myth. As we get older, we don’t sleep as well & then just dismiss it saying “ it happens to everyone with age, you need less sleep as you get older”. This is so incorrect & therefore this reel had to be made. You can find all my educational reels on sleep in the highlights section of my Instagram page. Do get educated & work on your sleep hygiene. My dream is to have a healthier nation !!
