Hey, guys. This is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Dr. Damon Ashworth to the podcast. Dr. Ashworth, but I'm going to call you Damon for the purposes of this conversation, as we just discussed, thank you for joining us. How are you? And first up, before we get into the nitty-gritty of the conversation, I would love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

Damon

(01:41)

Sure. Yeah. I'm Damon. I'm a clinical psychologist. So I did my research at Monash University in Australia. It was a clinical trial where we saw people with insomnia and depression, and they'd been given antidepressants, and they weren't improving as much as they'd like to. So we gave them four sessions of CBTI or cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, and we found that it improved their sleep, but it also improved their mood and depression, their anxiety, their stress, and also their fatigue. So it had a huge impact.

  Look, thank you so much for sharing some of your time today. Now, you are based in Croatia. I'm in Australia. So, you are bright eyed and starry eyed, and I'm a little bit bleary-eyed because it's the end of my day. So, bear with me.

  Mario

  (01:51)

  So, I was always very passionate about health and wellness. I always had this intuitive knowing that the body has the potential to heal basically anything, that we are created perfectly, so to speak. And I was always very, very interested in finding ways to assist that natural process in a powerful way. I opened a natural pharmaceutical company where I helped thousands of people with amazing, amazing products for many years, and it was a really gratifying experience. I really loved it. And after a decade of doing that, I sold the whole business to Walgreens.
