Summary: At the inaugural Global Sleep Symposium hosted by Equinox Hotel, regenerative medicine specialist Neil Paulvin, DO, emphasized the critical role sleep plays in overall health and longevity. Paulvin’s panel, held on the second day of the event, explored the connections between sleep, hormonal balance, and long-term well-being. His insights, alongside other experts, highlighted how sleep deprivation can negatively impact not only health but also executive performance and decision-making.
Three Key Takeaways:
- Sleep’s Impact on Health and Longevity: Neil Paulvin, DO, discussed how poor sleep and hormonal imbalances can shorten health spans, suggesting that addressing these issues can improve long-term well-being.
- Intersection of Sleep and Regenerative Health: The symposium highlighted the relationship between sleep and regenerative health, with Paulvin noting that proper sleep can enhance performance and physical recovery.
- Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Performance: Paulvin explained how sleep deprivation undermines executive functions such as decision-making, creativity, and mood, which can lead to long-term health issues.
Neil Paulvin, DO, a regenerative medicine specialist, was a featured speaker for Equinox Hotel’s inaugural Global Sleep Symposium, which brought together industry experts to discuss research with the intention of helping attendees optimize their sleep health and performance.
Based in New York City, Paulvin specializes in functional medicine, integrative sports medicine, regenerative medicine, osteopathic manipulation, and craniosacral therapy. He has spent over 20 years researching longevity and believes in taking a “360 approach” to treating his patients.
The Global Sleep Symposium took place over three days at the Equinox Hotel located in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards. Each day had a different focus. Day one focused on “Embracing the Art of Repose,” while day two focused on “Delving Deeper into the Science of Sleep.” Day three was centered around “Awakening Restored and Empowered.”
‘Sleep, Health, and Longevity Are A Two-Way Street’
Paulvin’s panel took place on the second day. The panel, in collaboration with Will Cole, IFMCP, DNM, DC, focused on the intersections of sleep, regenerative health, performance, and functional medicine.
“Sleep, health, and longevity are a two-way street. For example, if your hormones are at abnormal levels, this affects your sleep and longevity. If you address your hormones with lifestyle and replacement, your sleep and health span can improve,” said Paulvin during the panel.
Paulvin has frequently discussed his theories on how sleep can impact overall health. In a blog post titled “How Sleep Deprivation Undermines Executive Performance (And How To Combat It),” Paulvin stated, “Sleep deprivation takes a heavy toll on executive performance including negatively affecting mood, decision-making capabilities, response time, creativity, and in the long-term, sleep deprivation can lead to serious health complications.”
Paulvin’s participation in the Global Sleep Symposium reflects his focus on integrating sleep into regenerative and functional medicine. His discussions on the importance of sleep in maintaining health and performance add to the broader conversation on improving well-being.
