No matter how healthy you eat...

Your body won’t recover if your sleep is broken.

Few people know there are simple tweaks to help you sleep like a baby.

Here are 8 sleep hacks to unlock deeper rest and full recovery🧵:
1. Keep your bedroom under 19°C

Your core temp must drop ~1°C to fall into deep sleep.

A cool room supports this drop.

In one NIH study, people in 19°C rooms had more stable REM and less waking during the night.
2. Avoid blue light at night

Screens trick your brain into thinking it's daytime.

Even 2 hours of late-night screen exposure can suppress melatonin by up to 50%.

Use blue light filters or wear amber glasses after 8PM.
3. Magnesium Glycinate before bed

This form is highly bioavailable and easy on the stomach.

It lowers cortisol, supports GABA production, and deepens REM and slow-wave sleep.

Best dose: 200-500mg 30 minutes to 1 hour before bed.
I found some great Magnesium Glycinate gummies.

They're good quality, 3rd party tested, and very easy to consume.

4. Morning sunlight locks your circadian rhythm

10–15 minutes of direct sunlight within 60 minutes of waking tells your brain when “day” starts.

This anchors melatonin release 14-16 hours later.

The result? A surge of deep, timed sleep at night.
5. No caffeine after 2PM

Caffeine has a half-life of 6–8 hours.

Even if you fall asleep, it disrupts deep sleep cycles.

Cut it off by early afternoon to protect your brain’s overnight recovery.
6. Consistent sleep-wake time

Your brain thrives on rhythm.

Erratic bedtimes confuse your circadian clock and delay melatonin release.

Set your schedule (even on weekends) and your deep sleep rebounds.
7. Block noise with pink noise or earplugs

Even low-level ambient noise spikes micro-arousals during sleep.

Pink noise (like rainfall or ocean) boosts deep sleep and memory consolidation.

Try the “Dark Noise” app or a basic sound machine.
8. Use glycine + taurine

Glycine (3g) lowers body temp and improves sleep latency.

Taurine (500mg) reduces nighttime cortisol and helps you stay asleep longer.

Together, they enhance deep rest without next-day grogginess.
I found an this Glycine and Taurine complex.

It's great quality, third-party tested, and from a brand recommended by top functional medicine professionals.

Bonus: Get bloodwork if nothing helps

Low magnesium, high cortisol, or thyroid issues can silently sabotage sleep.

Fixing these can unlock sleep results no hack ever will.

Test. Don’t guess.
You can’t fake recovery.

Better sleep = more energy, better fat loss, stronger immunity, and faster healing.

Start with 2 of these hacks tonight and feel the shift within days.

Sleep isn’t optional... it’s your superpower.
I strive to help you better understand your body and take steps towards better health.

That stubborn belly fat isn’t from age...

It’s from sky-high cortisol that’s been building for years.

Here are 9 ways to lower stress hormones and unlock fat loss (without crash diets)🧵

1. Stop doing “fat-burning" cardio.
Chronic cardio (like long runs or spin) increases cortisol.

Why? Your body treats it like stress... especially fasted or extended.

Instead, do zone 2 walking + 2–3x weekly heavy strength training.

That combo burns fat without spiking stress.
2. Train your body to exhale longer.

Most people breathe shallow and fast.

That keeps the nervous system in fight-or-flight (survival state).

Use box breathing:

Inhale 4s → Hold 4s → Exhale 6–8s → Hold 4s

Do 3 rounds post-workout or before bed. Instant cortisol drop.

Poor sleep is silently wrecking your health.

It disrupts your hormones, slows fat loss, and fogs up your brain.

Here are 10 foods backed by science that help you sleep deeper and wake up recharged🧵

1. Kiwi
This fruit is surprisingly powerful for sleep.

High in serotonin + antioxidants, which regulate your sleep cycle.

People who ate 2 kiwis an hour before bed fell asleep 42% faster and slept more soundly.
2. Tart cherry juice

Tart cherry juice is nature’s melatonin.

It’s one of the few natural sources of this sleep hormone.

In one study, drinking 2 cups per day led to 84 more minutes of sleep.

Drink it 1–2 hours before bed for maximum effect.

Blood sugar spikes silently destroy your testosterone.

They cause fat storage, energy crashes, and hormonal chaos.

Here are 10 tricks to flatten the glucose curve and stay hormonally optimized all day🧵

1. Extra virgin olive oil with every meal.
Extra virgin olive oil can cut early glucose spikes by ~50% when eaten with carbs.

It also boosts GLP‑1, your body’s blood sugar regulator.

The result? Flatter glucose curves and less hormonal chaos.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon on everything.
2. Eat protein first at every meal

Eating protein before carbs slows gastric emptying and blunts glucose spikes.

This helps prevent the cortisol surges that crash your energy and hormones.

Start every meal with 20–30g protein.

The most misunderstood hormone on Earth:

Cortisol.

They let us believe it's just a stress hormone.

But didn't tell us it controls where you store fat, when you build muscle, and how long you live.

Here's what you need to know (& how to save yourself)🧵
Cortisol doesn't just respond to stress.

It regulates key aspects of your metabolism.

When cortisol spikes, your body switches from "build mode" to "survive mode."

Fat burning stops. Muscle building shuts down. Inflammation skyrockets.
Here's what high cortisol does to your body:

- Redirects fat storage to your visceral fat
- Breaks down muscle tissue for glucose
- Suppresses testosterone and growth hormone
- Disrupts sleep cycles
- Increases insulin resistance

The belly fat connection is brutal:

Testosterone isn't just a sex hormone.

It builds muscle, burns fat, and sharpens your focus.

Here are 9 all natural ways to boost your testosterone without pills🧵

1. Pomegranate
One glass of pomegranate juice a day boosted testosterone by 24% in just 2 weeks.

It improves mood, libido, and nitric oxide levels.
2. Grass-fed beef & liver

Packed with zinc, B12, heme iron, and amino acids.

Organ meats were sacred in ancient tribes for a reason.

Liver is testosterone fuel.

Getting lean is stupidly simple.

They made it confusing so you'd keep buying meal plans and fat burners.

Here are 9 things I did to lose fat without tracking a single calorie🧵

1. Prioritize protein at every meal.
Protein boosts satiety and requires the most energy to digest (thermic effect).

It keeps you full, curbs cravings, and preserves lean muscle while cutting fat.

No tracking. Just eat a fist-sized portion every time.
2. Build muscle with resistance training

Muscle tissue burns calories around the clock, even at rest.

More muscle = higher resting metabolic rate.

Lift 3–4x per week. You’ll burn fat in your sleep.
