Summary

Dr. Leland Stillman is one interesting doctor and a man after my own heart – meaning he's interested in everything from how polar bears use cold thermogenesis and hibernation to enhance longevity to how your environment drastically shapes your health no matter how hard you exercise or how perfectly you eat.

He became interested in natural and integrative medicine at an early age. After majoring in environmental health at Connecticut College and earning his medical doctorate from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Dr. Stillman completed his training in internal medicine at Maine Medical Center. Board-certified in internal medicine and specializing in integrative medicine, he has a passion for doing whatever it takes to discover the root cause of his patient's medical problems through advanced laboratory testing and then addressing those imbalances with dietary or lifestyle interventions. Dr. Stillman focuses not only on the patient but on all aspects of their environment. Some of Dr. Stillman's professional interests include phototherapy (photobiomodulation), nutrition, toxicology, and the immune system.

0:04.3	When we look at the historical literature on iodine, the discoverer of vitamin C,
0:10.3	Albert Sankurgy, one of my heroes, he said basically when in doubt,
0:15.6	prescribed the patient iodine. And it was incredibly common to use it therapeutically
0:20.8	back in the day. And when you look at the number of things people have used iodine to treat,
0:24.9	they'll treat you to acute illnesses with it, colds, flus, gastroenteritis. I mean,

1:09.8	mode, which made me feel like I was on a blend of like having a cocktail and maybe a dark chocolate
1:17.1	bar and being surrounded by amazing people. And then later on I discovered it worked for sleep,

1:31.5	focus mode. And then later on it goes into work mode. I forget what the work mode is.
1:37.7	Anyways, it's all on schedule. Later on, if that goes relaxation and then sleep. I can just
1:42.7	wear this thing all day automatically. Just as I go, no side effects, safer adults, safer children,
1:48.0	students, you name it. It's just this gentle, vibratory, haptic sensation. They did a recent
1:52.8	sleep study and showed that consistent Apollo wearable users gain an extra 30 minutes of high
1:58.4	quality deep sleep and high quality sleep in general per night. It's safe. It's not invasive.
