 Sleep in a cool bed and burn more body fat. All right guys. Let's talk about this Well, that's a great me. I've been doing it right the whole time. You have that's a great commercial for chili Oh, yeah, that's a good point. No, there's okay. So are you guys familiar with brown fat and white fat? Yeah, I've heard I've heard some podcasts. I thought that's been debunked like the difference of that like the whole you know No, no, no, Ron Patrick talks about a lot. Oh really? Yeah. No, so brown fat is God is used to warm up the body it's more thermogenic and Studies show that people and animals with more brown fat as a percentage of their overall body fat tend to be leaner So it's like the I guess for lack of a better term the fat burning fat now Here's the cool thing right so you can convert the you know, the white fat. That's what I thought was debunked. No, that's true Yeah, oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, so there's like plasticity with with your fat so your some of your white fat can convert to brown fat which then becomes more thermogenically active and Healthier and makes you makes it easier to get leaner So are you saying one of the ways to do that is by sleeping in a cooler bed can actually convert some of the white fat to brown? Yes, so there's a few yeah, there's a few interesting things right so sleeping in a cool bed first off It significantly reduces sleep apnea So people with mild sleep apnea just cooling the bed down or cooling the room down that'll help So it's good for your health there increases REM sleep and also sleeping in a cool bed or cool room Creates more of this conversion of white fat to brown fat So the theory would be that that would help you become leaner more brown fats better No, that's interesting because I think that I would have thought that the benefits of that come from your body trying to regulate its Temperature therefore it's got to work harder to raise your your temperature, right? Well, that's I sleep because I sleep at like 55 degrees with my chili So I imagine that my body through the night is trying to keep me warm And so it's having to work more than it normally would in turn i.e. burning more calories Yes, so that's where I would think the benefit comes from well, that's the fat burning benefit So you get all the sleep improvement benefits was my point right so a cool bed Significantly improved sleep quality across the board and we know It's a matter of fact that sleeping better You are leaner you're healthier you build more muscle better hormone profiles or to put differently Getting suboptimal sleep causes you to store more body fat. You don't burn it You don't build as much muscle hormone profiles not as good. So there's that so but if we remove that just forget that for a second What you're saying is is absolutely true So there's a study that they did called the where they actually studied how brown fat is Converted or how we end up developing more brown fat from sleeping in a cooler bed It's not just eating chocolate ice cream. No, it's not eating chocolate ice cream So they they did this with people and they found that the the that cold beds or cool beds Stimulated this kind of brown fat buildup or conversion, which is really interesting. So this is really cool So they said I wonder if there's a connection then to people that have like live in like colder states that they have more brown fat than Other people than live in like areas like Florida or California. That's a good question now Now the to a good point around that is it's not gonna offset like Right, we're talking about like Small difference here, right? We're not talking about like crazy amount like a workout is gonna burn a lot more Yeah, like if you live in Miami, you're probably more self-conscious about looking good That's a bit of motivation like showing your body without your clothes on. Yeah, so they're you know, but but besides that you sleep every night and you do it for your entire life and it's it's a Significant portion of your life. I don't know what the number is but it's a huge chunk of your life is spent sleeping So if you could every single night for the next however long sleep in a cool bed Could this be Significant over long periods of time I think so because just because of the amount of exposure and how often you go to sleep and how long you sleep So it's a pretty big deal now I personally noticed a couple effects from using the chili pad or the you know, their devices the oeler in fact That's the one I use so if people don't know it's a it's a pad You put over your mattress and you put your sheets over and it uses water To heat or cool the bed. There's no emfs So there's no it's not the the part of the device where it's you plug it And everything is not on the bed that you're sleeping on so low emf. It's water cool water warmed What I noticed when I made the made the bed cool is yes, I slept better. I also noticed less inflammation I woke up less stiff more energy throughout the day now as far as a fat loss effects I you know because I control my diet and exercise so much and notice that but these studies are really fascinating this is another another benefit of doing this and it's the most effective way of cooling your bed because Some people can cool the room, but they I don't know about you guys But I generate so much heat sometimes and it's like I'll end up doing this thing where I sheets off Then I get cold sheets on then I'm hot and she's but with the chili pad. It's it if you said it Let's say at 60 degrees It'll keep it like 60. Yeah, so it's not like it's just cold if you start to go You know some biggest benefit. I noticed cuz yes, you know, I do sleep hot, but also I'll wake up I'm more prone to getting up and then having to go to the bathroom or you know Rolling over and I'll kind of wake up and look around When I'm I'm hot when I'm sleeping versus like When it's cool and then the temperatures that that nice cool even distributed cool Like I it's the deepest sleep I can get well from an evolutionary standpoint. It makes perfect sense, right? If we evolved without temperature controlled rooms, it probably got cold at night So it makes sense that this is how I mean everybody knows you sleep better when when it's cold versus when it's hot Yeah, so it makes perfect sense and then the way that the that your body wakes up It there's there's a couple things we do that are super unnatural. One is when we wake up It's a loud alarm clock right off the gates and it's super loud Yeah, then we get up and we switch the lights on boom like staring our phone Yeah, that's not nature like you don't wake up with a super loud unless something scary happen Yeah So, you know what you could do with these this these new devices is they could slowly warm you up to get your Body to naturally wake up and then I combine it with an alarm clock That slowly glows. I still haven't got that you guys all have that. Yeah, it's so I have it But I haven't really used it. Oh, it's so awesome Oh, you have a programmable. It's hard to read the most at least the one I have it's hard to read Yeah, they're they're they're not that hard to just read the thing super yourself figured out Doug still needs me to come over program No, but it's like simulates the sun rising and so yeah I think it was a year or two ago and I was like, oh, that sounds interesting But I mean I wake up pretty pretty naturally in the morning The only time I have to is if I set like my alarm for like really early, do you not send alarm just wake up? Yeah, I just like what time we get here right now like I'm up by that time because max is up by that time I need all the help like all the aids all the things To get me up and so like you guys know me and the whole cup zero and like everything involved with me getting up Is you know this this whole process. So yeah, I have like that sun rising effect I have the heating up effect. I have you know, the first thing I do is just like I have all my clothes already set Sometimes I have to like look for things. Oh my god. I just don't have it I don't have it until I get my car. I start driving You know what? I hate to say I hate to say this But I I would bet money right now that all of us except for maybe Doug have Apnea some kind of sleep apnea damn it. That's I first of all I've shared rooms with probably but yeah You guys snore like I can't even understand, but I'm a side sleeper. So it's somewhat Yeah, you know, like I'm sure it's a little bit better than on my back. But yes I have me worried about that because you've said that to me But it Katrina tells me I don't snore, but then I get situations like that I do know we're relaxed when I'm in there with you I Know if I do store it's normally either like an allergy or I'm sick or like I'm exhausted Yeah, you know, we did so like that thing that was your time on the trip where we went out and talked all day And yeah, that tends to get me to snore like that But I'm afraid to get tested because this is a stupid reason to be afraid to get tested Because sleep apnea increases risk of like heart disease heart attack strokes like terrible for you But I'm afraid to get tested because I don't want to wear The I know this is so dumb I sound like such a new bro the freaking nose thing that you with the tube. I do not want to turn in Darth Vader Also when we had dr. Rusell on like the reason why I knew about the didgeridoo is because of that fact I just don't want to put on this Mask I would rather Become like, you know a hippie on the streets like doing a didgeridoo in order to not wear a mask Sleep better. Yeah, apparently the the the skill of playing that strengthens the muscles in the yeah Tongue in the throat and helps prevent sleep apnea. Yeah, it helps sort of like set it So it doesn't your tongue. Are there other things besides the didgeridoo thing whatever that thing is like the Being leaves. Yeah, it's just yeah, remember that study I read a long time ago when people gain body fat They're tongues Is it just Muscle mass Say I know when I was up to like 230 240 I was snoring and so I think that there's definitely a sweet spot for my weight Where my body wants to be lost on the heavy breather now apparently? I don't even realize I'm doing it That's a layer. Well, I mean look at this is very interesting because if you know those people who are into fitness and health Focus heavily on exercise and nutrition Maybe hydration and sleep is it tends to be a little bit on the back burner Mainly because you get away with suboptimal sleep, especially if you're fit and healthy especially if you're young and you drink a lot of caffeine which a lot of people in fitness do and But it's the truth is sleep quality has such a profile It's as profound of an effect on your health All the magic happens really it is as a diet and exercise and so if there's something you can do to increase the amount of Thermogenic fat burning fat on your body Even if it's a couple percent, but you sleep every single night and you do for the next, you know However many years you're alive just doing this thing. I feel could have a well I think I think that's just like a nice little kicker I mean I think Focusing on your sleep is so impactful in your life in itself like even if it didn't have any fat burning effects I think the value in getting a good sleep routine and trying to figure out how to get the best sleep you possibly can It pays you back tenfold and everything else you do Hey, if you enjoyed that clip you can find the full episode here or you can find other clips over here and be sure to subscribe
