Dr. Kelly Olson on Sleep, Wellness and Leading Well

Greg Aden talks with Dr. Kelly Olson, a neuroscientist who works in the sleep, genomics and biotoxin space, about the health habits that quietly shape how you lead. She explains why she starts at the molecular level, comparing it to the foundation of a house, and why health is not an all or nothing project. The back half of the conversation gets practical on sleep: the seven to nine hour range most adults need, cutting blue light an hour before bed, a cool room, a wind down routine, caffeine half life, what deep sleep actually does for the brain and immune system, and what a study on wine showed about the second half of the night. Kelly also shares her path from border patrol to sports medicine to a PhD, and the why behind the work.
