Energy crashes, broken sleep, and brain fog often show up long before anything looks “wrong” on paper. When that happens, women are left pushing harder instead of realizing that everyday habits may be sending the wrong signals to the body.

We dive deeper into this topic in the latest The Well Drop episode. We also talk about why morning light matters more than people realize, what waking between 2 and 3 a.m. can tell you about blood sugar and sleep, and how having your phone in the bedroom affects your ability to truly downshift at night.

If your sleep feels off, your energy feels inconsistent, or your body just isn’t responding the way it used to, this episode will help you understand where to start. It’s for women who want clear direction instead of more guesswork.
