Self-Care Sleep.AI, Solius Labs, Healthnix
July 24th is International Self-Care Day. Our Rethinking Aging Club Podcast Self-Care themed show covered three very important aspects of longevity, wellness and self-care: Sleep health; Health benefits of precision sunlight; Nutrition for pain management.
Colin Lawlor explained the role of Sleep.AI in the wellness industry, providing sleep data, analysis and APIs. The Sleep.AI app uses sonar for ambient monitoring, not requiring wearables. We discussed the importance of consistency for sleep health and some restless leg syndrome tips. “One percent reduction in deep sleep results in a 27% increase in dementia risk.”
Christopher Kiple highlighted the benefits of personalized UVB light therapy through Solius, which can increase vitamin D levels by 76%. UVB light is important to fostering not only a healthy but more diverse microbiome in the gut and the skin, and found to be related to anti-inflammation, which is associated with longevity and health span. Works both for at-home use and through health clubs and spas.
Maja Mazur introduced HealthNix, an AI-driven nutrition platform for chronic pain management, which personalizes dietary plans based on biomarkers and patient lifestyle. Targeting arthritis, migraines, fibromyalgia and chronic pain. For use by clinicians and individuals. The system is designed to correlate symptoms and pain flare-up triggers to dietary intake and lifestyle factors.
