Brain Eating Zombie of the Day

Michael J. Breus, "The Sleep Doctor"

A High-Fat Diet Undermines Sleep
His science is crap.  He talks all experty about orexin, then doesn't even know how it works
He uses rats for metabolic models, when rats' metabolism is completely different. They eat grain for a a living and get diabetes when they eat fat.

And he promotes himself as credible because he's appeared on many media outlets.

Your Sleep Industry At Work.   Creating confused patients for the future.

(We discussed this earlier in comments, but I wanted you all to see it.  Big thanks to Liam for the link and reading Psychology Today so I don't have to.)
