In this episode, I’m joined by two of my favorite humans: blood sugar expert Danielle Hamilton (Light Up Your Metabolism) and wellness powerhouse Kristin Weitzel (WELLPOWER). Together, we dig into the interconnected web of circadian rhythm, glucose regulation, stress, light, and sleep—and how these systems are either working for you or against you every single day.
We also share the tools we’re loving (shout out to UBLOCKOUT - code: sleepisaskill — my ride-or-die blackout shade!), the low-hanging fruit that can make a big difference in your sleep, and the mindset shifts that help you actually stick to these habits—even when your partner thinks your red lights are a little... intense.
