Is your lack of sleep quietly sabotaging your health, hormones, and fat loss goals?

In this episode, Kristin pulls back the curtain on why sleep is the true foundation of health—ranking even above nutrition and exercise. Recording in her pajamas with blue-light blocking glasses on, she shares her personal sleep routine, her favorite biohacking tools, and the cutting-edge science from Dr. Matthew Walker’s book Why We Sleep.

Whether you struggle with insomnia, want to optimize your athletic performance, or simply want to wake up feeling more energized, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you sleep smarter, longer, and deeper.

Tune in to hear:

• The shocking statistic linking sleep deprivation to cardiovascular disease risk (+45%).
• Why sleep is the real foundation beneath diet and exercise.
• How deep sleep fuels muscle repair and fat loss while REM sleep recharges the brain.
• The surprising hormone shifts (ghrelin, leptin, cortisol) that make you hungrier when you’re sleep deprived.
• Why humans are the only animals that intentionally skimp on sleep—and what that means biologically.
• The best supplements and biohacks Kristin uses nightly to improve sleep quality.
• Sleep disruptors you might not realize are sabotaging your rest—like late-night eating, alcohol, and lack of sunlight.
