Your Truth

You’ve heard it all: “The truth about carbs,” “The truth about hormones,” “The truth about fasting.” But here’s the real truth—context matters, and no single “truth” out there applies to every woman, every body, or every season of life.

Instead, you’ll learn how to approach your health like a scientist: with curios...

In this episode, I break down what sleep really does for your body—from hormone production and muscle repair to fat metabolism and cognitive function.
