Episode 23: Dr. Greg Potter: Sleep Optimization for the Physique Competitor

Episode 23: Dr. Greg Potter: Sleep Optimization for the Physique Competitor

In this episode of J3 University, Luke and I are joined by sleep expert Dr. Greg Potter. Sleep is our number one recovery tool for physique enhancement, so not getting enough puts a large damper on fat loss, muscle building, but also health outcomes. Dr. Potter give the run down on why we need sleep, what good sleep looks like, and gives a framework of how a healthy sleep routine should be designed with takeaways to problem solve common sleep issues.
