Episode Summary: Are you sleeping enough but still exhausted, anxious, or gaining weight? The issue might not be how long you're sleeping—but when. In this episode, Shana explains why the circadian timing of your sleep is critical for hormone balance, metabolism, and adrenal health. Discover how getting to bed by 10 PM supports the natural flow of cortisol, melatonin, insulin, and leptin, and why late-night sleep (even if it's 8 hours) can disrupt your hormonal repair cycles.

Martha Tettenborn, RD shares her inspiring story of surviving and thriving through cancer and chemo treatments! It is no secret that cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow without a steady supply of glucose. But when you're diagnosed, nutrition recommendations often result in increased blood sugars, the essential food that cancer cells need to thrive. In her book Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor @marthatettenborn offers a new way of treating cancer with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. As Martha says, change how you fuel your body, add in a "take control" attitude, and you'll have nontoxic but tough tools to power your way back to health. Don't feed cancer, hack it! I learned a ton in this empowering interview, and I know you will too!

He specializes in helping individuals recover from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and long covid through neuroplasticity and brain rewiring techniques. Miguel shared his powerful story of when he woke up one day and was astonishingly incapable of sustaining his own needs which led to months spent bedridden in the hospital with unexplainable symptoms and debilitating pain.

Sarah tried nearly every diet, from vegan and vegetarian to carnivore and beyond until finally understanding the root cause of her chronic inflammation and infertility.
