Mastering The Master Clock To Boost Your Mood, Jumpstart Your Metabolism & Break Free From Burnout For Good

Episode Summary

What do hot flashes, weight gain, depression, anxiety, low libido and mental burnout all have in common? If you answered 'circadian rhythm disruption' you're right. In fact, countless clinical research studies have shown that our master body clock does much more than just regulate our sleep. If the past year of quarantine has added a few extra stubborn pounds to your life and turned your zest into stress, this is the episode you need to tune into. You'll take a quick time travel back to the first discovery of chronobiology, fast forward to the latest genetic research about the genes that control your sleep-wake cycle, learn how it all connects to three MASTER hormones that govern your body's metabolism, motivation and mood and you'll leave with my insider tips on the clinical studies, functional lab tests and lifestyle strategies that can help you master your master clock, jumpstart your metabolism and break through burnout for good!
