| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to this special episode of the Get Your Globet podcast, brought to you by Pooker Herbs. |
| 0:10.6 | I'm joined today by Joe Weber, the head of herbal education at Pooka Herbs, Araveidic practitioner and yoga teacher. |
| 0:19.4 | Joe specialises in women's health and the concept of food |
| 0:22.9 | as medicine. And on today's episode, we spoke all about how herbal medicine can help us combat some of the |
| 0:29.8 | greatest challenges of modern life, including getting a good night's sleep. Joe is extremely |
| 0:35.9 | passionate about empowering people to take charge of their own |
| 0:38.9 | health and I'm so excited to share her wisdom in today's episode. Let's bring on the wonderful |
| 0:44.4 | Joe. Joe, welcome to the podcast. Hello, Madi. I am so excited to talk to you about the subject of sleep because I think it is |
| 0:57.1 | something that a lot of us suffer with and I think you've got an amazing position being a herbal |

| 1:28.4 | per night than we were a generation ago, so maybe against our grandparents. And that amounts |
| 1:34.3 | to about one month's sleep less per year. So it is definitely a thing that one in three people |
| 1:39.6 | are getting less sleep. And that has worsened during the last six months with all the stresses |
| 1:45.0 | and strains of lockdown. But I think generally modern life is quite disruptive of sleep, |
| 1:50.0 | be it the electric light bulb that makes it really easy to read late in the evening or Netflix, |
| 1:56.2 | stress and anxiety, which is also a very big problem today. So about one in six people suffering from |
| 2:01.8 | stress, anxiety and one in three people having sleep issues. So a bit of a mixed bag, really, |
| 2:06.7 | from diet and lifestyle to general all-round habits. I'm definitely being guilty of the Netflix |
