Mom Brain tribe, you spoke and we listened. Since sleep training is one of the most requested topics in the Mom Brain inbox, and there are so many moms (Hilaria and Daphne included) who desperately crave more sleep. We invited Dr. Sophia Axelrod, PhD to help us all out. She is a neuroscientist, sleep researcher and mom of 2 with the superpower (and scientifically proven methods) to get her kids to sleep through the night! She has distilled 100 years of sleep research into 3 simple steps, which she shared with us. Her new book is science-backed, and inspired by the latest Nobel Prize–winning research—that shows you how to get your baby to sleep through the night naturally. It's called How Babies Sleep: The Gentle, Science-Based Method to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night. She also has an app called Kulala Baby Sleep that helps with sleep training.

Dr. Axelrod tells Hilaria and Daphne about the power of red lamps in keeping kids calm and asleep. She delves into how she addressed her own insomnia, and discussed how sleep deprivation in moms leads to postpartum depression and other illnesses. Get ready to tuck the kiddos in for an uninterrupted night of R&R!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
