176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone

Here’s more about Dr. Martone and his background: 

Dr. Peter Martone is an educator and patient care practitioner who has been focused on improving patient’s biomechanics for over 23 years during his private practice as a chiropractor. Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine effects the function of the central nervous system, and this principle is the cornerstone of his practice.

Dr. Martone’s core belief is that the central nervous system controls every function in the human body and in order to be able to express true health you have to keep your nervous system healthy. When your spine falls out of alignment due to poor spinal mechanics, it interferes with the proper function of the nervous system thus throwing the body out of balance.

Peter’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life. During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. His patients were coming in with the same problems which inspired him to come up with an innovative solution to help correct patients spines while they sleep. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patients spines while they sleep.

Dr. Martone’s revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, Dave Asprey’s Upgraded Conference, and over 50 podcasts as he travels the world teaching people how to regain their health by mastering the art of sleeping.
