In this episode of Compound Wisdom, Steve Suid sits down with technologist and scientist Philippe Kahn—the inventor behind the first mobile photo sent over the internet and a pioneer of real-time photo sharing. Philippe shares how a personal challenge with his daughter’s sleep sparked the creation of Fullpower’s sleep-tracking technology, which has now captured hundreds of millions of nights of data. The conversation dives into what large-scale, longitudinal sleep data reveals about health, how AI is transforming sleep science and remote monitoring, practical habits that improve sleep quality, and why Darwin’s idea of adaptability matters for both biology and business.

In this episode of Compound Wisdom, we sit down with Dr. James Lavelle, a clinical pharmacist, board-certified clinical nutritionist, bestselling author of Cracking the Metabolic Code, and a leading authority on peptides and metabolic health.
