Mini Chief: The keys to a perfect night's sleep with sleep guru Dr Carmel Harrington [Best of Series]

"When we sleep, a spinal fluid washes over our brain and gets rid of a peptide called beta-amyloid which is implicated in the Alzheimer dementia process.

This is a special episode only available to our podcast subscribers, which we call The Mini Chief. These are short, sharp highlights from our fabulous guests, where you get a 5 to 10 minute snapshot from their full episode. This Mini Chief episode features Dr Carmel Harrington, an Executive Sleep Guru and Managing Director of Sleep for Health. Her full episode is titled The myths and factors of sleep that drive optimal health, joy and performance.
