And I'd like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. As part of the Summit Series, you know, I'm organizing the Whole Health Summit, January 14 to the 16th 22. And I'm having the speakers on my podcast and today, we are blessed to have Dave Gibson. And he is an expert on one of my most sought after subjects that I'm learning about his sleep. So he coaches people on sleep. I saw on his Instagram that perfect night's sleep in four weeks. So that sounds really pretty cool. He teaches workshops, he does individual sessions. And he's joining us today from London. Dave, welcome to the program. I want to thank thank you for joining us. So how did you get in? Oh, yes. So how did you get into this topic? We'd love to hear your story. I know my listeners would. So give us a little background on who you are. I had a 01:19 personal need and a professional need to crack it.

And you know, you open up a Pandora's box when you look at your own genetics. And if you've got good genetics, you're on it, you're on a winning wicket more often than not anyway, when I started to work as an osteopath over 20 years ago, I suddenly found that more people had sleeping problems and bad backs. You know, I was talking about stress management, time management. And the more the more we started using mobile technology, it seemed that the worst athlete was getting, you know, so there was a, there was a tipping point that we got to about a decade ago, when all of a sudden people are noticing that their health is suffering, because they've gone below a sort of sustainable threshold. We've gone from being under slept on occasion to be chronically under slept long term. And then things started to go wrong, health wise and emotionally wise. 03:01 Got it? Wow. So, so many,
