Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Figure Out Your Sleep Schedule

One of the keys to optimizing your sleep is setting a nightly sleep schedule and wind-down routine. This then signals to your body that it’s time to switch modes and turn off the stress hormones and turn on the rejuvenating ones…

2. Reset Fat Burning Hormones

By stabilizing your blood sugar you will be able to easily adapt to an overnight fast where burning stored body fat becomes your go-to fat-burning fuel.

3. Next Level Sleep

After you’ve gotten the needed hours and shifted your sleep schedule you then may want to look at the quality of your sleep like deep sleep vs REM hours. Not only does total sleep count, but the quality of that sleep matters as well.
