Episode Summary

Ever feel wired… yet exhausted? Or anxious… yet depleted?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a visionary physician and expert in cutting-edge mitochondrial and nervous system healing, and he unpacks why so many women in midlife feel overstimulated and underpowered at the same time. 

We dive into the role of GABA, the calming neurotransmitter your body craves, and why it’s often depleted during midlife, contributing to the anxiety, insomnia, and mood dips that leave you feeling unlike yourself. 

Dr. Sherr also explains how mitochondrial dysfunction silently sabotages your energy, sleep, and even your joy—and what you can do to restore it naturally and effectively. 

This conversation is packed with practical, science-backed strategies to help you step out of the cycle of stress and burnout and into a state of calm, clear, vibrant energy.

QUOTES

“A big thing I’ve seen recently is tons of anxiety, tons of insomnia, tons of depression related to this inability to calm down, to turn our brains off. And some of those hormones that are transitioning as you go through the perimenopausal state are a big part of this.”

If we really want to focus on holistically improving your sleep, relationships, and energy,  the primary focus needs to be downregulating your sympathetic nervous system and increasing your parasympathetic with the GABA enhancement aspect.”

“That’s a really cool way of holistically enhancing the GABA system without causing GABA depletion or GABA deficiency on its own.”

EPISODE SUMMARY

Are you waking up feeling exhausted—even after a full night’s sleep? 

It’s one of the top complaints I hear from women and something I’ve personally struggled with, too.

Which can be especially frustrating when you know you’re doing everything else right.

You’re eating clean. Walking after meals. Taking supplements… 

So, what else could be causing it?

Meet your circadian rhythm (aka your biological clock). 

In this episode, I sat down with award-winning science journalist and circadian rhythm expert, Lynne Peeples—to help you get to the bottom of your morning sluggishness and start waking up energized.

Lynne shared powerful tips from her new book (The Inner Clock) about how simple daily habits—like getting morning light and avoiding late meals—can reset your internal clock, balance hormones, and give you all-day energy. 

We also discussed the importance of wearables—with specific recommendations for optimizing your body’s natural rhythms. 

Tune in for the crucial steps you NEED to take to reset your circadian rhythm and feel better today! 

IN THIS EPISODE

  • Why circadian rhythm matters for women’s health, especially during perimenopause
  • How morning light exposure sets your biological clock for the day
  • The role of consistency in sleep, eating times, and daily routines for optimal health
  • Why time-restricted eating and meal timing matter for your metabolism
  • Practical ways to dim lights, avoid screens, and create an evening routine that supports sleep
  • The impact of alcohol on your circadian rhythm and sleep quality
  • Lynne’s personal experiences and what she learned from tracking her internal clock

QUOTES

“Circadian rhythms affect so much more than just sleep. They’re tied to our hormones, metabolism, mood, and even our gut health. Keeping these rhythms in sync can make a world of difference for your overall well-being.”

“Getting outside within the first couple hours of waking up is key. Just 10 to 15 minutes of natural light—even on a cloudy day—helps set your circadian rhythm and sets you up for better sleep that night.” 

“Our digestive system is tied to our biological clock. Eating late at night spikes your blood sugar more, raises your core temperature, and disrupts sleep. Keeping meals within a 10-hour window—earlier in the day—helps support metabolism and balance.” 

“Morning light is critical for setting your internal clock. Even on cloudy days, get outside—natural light is still much stronger than indoor light and it helps you stay in sync with your body’s natural rhythm.”

“The consistency piece is huge—eating, sleeping, and exercising at the same time every day. That keeps your body’s clocks in sync and makes it easier to fall asleep, wake up refreshed, and maintain your energy throughout the day.”
