Dr. William Pierce joined our team at Brentwood MD [https://brentwoodmd.com/new-doctor-concierge-medicine/] not long ago, and while his current members know him well, I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce him more broadly here and on my podcast. Because the story of how William Pierce became a doctor, found his way to concierge medicine, and landed in our practice is one worth telling.

In our second discussion, I wanted to find out more about what each of us can do personally to improve our sleep, especially with the rise of wearable technology [https://brentwoodmd.com/wearable-health-tech-for-executives/] and its readily available sleep data. Is that data truly helpful? How do we make sense of it? And which lifestyle adjustments have the biggest impact on our rest?

It’s not because patients are unappreciative; it’s simply that they feel relatively the same (unless their metrics get really out of hand). But sleep is different. When we help someone improve their sleep quality, the impact is immediate and profound. Better sleep translates to more energy, sharper focus, improved mood, and a tangible boost to daily quality of life. And patients notice. As one of the three pillars of health [https://brentwoodmd.com/the-recovery-of-sleep/], sleep matters immensely to me for my patients. That’s why I was thrilled to sit down with Dr. Sahil Chopra, the Harvard-trained, quadruple board-certified founder of Empower Sleep [https://www.empowersleep.com/about-us]. His approach to sleep care represents a significant departure from traditional sleep medicine, and it’s producing remarkable results for patients throughout the country.

Subscribe and explore: https://youtube.com/@BrentwoodMD [https://youtube.com/@BrentwoodMD] In my new podcast series, “The Cost of Success,” I’m taking a look behind the curtain at the lives of people who build, lead, and create the most interesting things at the highest levels. We talk about what they’ve made, but more importantly, what it cost them: the pace, the pressure, the tradeoffs, the sacrifices, the scars. My first guest is Pastor Darren Whitehead, who founded Church of the City [http://churchofthecity.com/] in Nashville and grew it to 10,000 people across four locations. It’s easy to look at an outcome like this and believe it was part of a person’s grand plan all along. But Darren readily admits he’s not a long-term-plan kind of guy. Rather, his story is one of recognizing open doors and having the courage, flexibility, and faith to take risks and walk through them.
