Insomnia Coach is a free and publicly available mobile app for people who are suffering from insomnia. It was created by a team at the National Center for PTSD, Department of Veterans Affairs. This app provides users with information to help you learn about sleep, a training plan to guide you to better sleep over the course of 5 weeks, a sleep diary to track your sleep each night, and 17 tools to help you quiet your mind, relax your body, and work on your sleep habits. This app can be used by people who are in treatment as well as those who are not. It’s recommended that before using this app you consult a health care professional. This app may not be right for you if you are a shift worker, or if your job requires you to be awake at night.

Michelle Jonelis, MD, Redwood Pulmonary Medical Associates, Redwood City, CA, discusses the use of cognitive behavioral therapy to treat insomnia (CBT-I). CBT is the recommended treatment for ‘all-comer’ insomnia and insomnia in patients with neurological disorders. Traditional CBT is one-on-one with a psychologist. This is very labor-intensive, and there are not enough specialist psychologists to keep up with the incidence of insomnia. Recently, apps that can provide CBT-I have been developed, and research has shown that they improve insomnia symptoms in ‘all-comer’ patients and in patients with neurological disorders. Dr. Jonelis hopes there will soon be CBT-I app recommendations from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Society of Behavioural Sleep Medicine. This interview took place at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting 2023 in Boston, MA.

What’s up guys, Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! In today’s video, I’m reviewing the Stretch Coach Certification by Brad Walker. I’ve been waiting for a definitive assisted stretching certification for a good while now!

For those who don’t know assisted stretching is a service that personal trainers, massage therapists, and other related professionals can offer. Assisted stretching can be beneficial for improving flexibility, improving posture, reducing stress, reducing the chances of injury, and a whole bunch of other things too.

As of right now, StretchLab is the biggest and most wide spread business to offer assisted stretching as their main service. StretchLab is growing at a pretty impressive rate, and because of that we end up talking about them a fair amount in this video. It also just so happens that Brad Walker, who created the stretch coach course also created the flexologist program that assisted stretching practitioners at the StretchLab need to take before working with clients.

I also break down my thoughts on manual stretching scope of practice for personal trainers. It’s a bit of a grey area for sure.

All of this information makes for an interesting discussion concerning things we don’t usually talk about here at Sorta Healthy!

As always, we appreciate you checking out this video and your continued support! If you liked this video and want to see more like it, please remember to hit the like button and subscribe to the channel as it does help us to grow!
