3 THINGS I ALWAYS DO BEFORE BED (BEST SELLING SLEEP AUTHOR)
Best-selling sleep expert and cookbook author Shawn Stevenson shares how he went from chronic pain and a degenerative disc diagnosis to real health, energy, and purpose by fixing sleep, diet, and relationships. This episode shows what actually works, give this a chance!
Shawn joins Dr. Daniel Pompa to explain why sleep drives metabolism, fat loss, hormones, and recovery. Learn how poor sleep increases cravings, slows fat loss, and can lead to muscle loss. They break down circadian rhythm, melatonin, cortisol, and how your daily habits shape your sleep.
You will get practical steps you can use tonight:
Set an alcohol cutoff to protect deep sleep
Reduce screen time before bed
Use whole food nutrients like magnesium and vitamin C
Eat foods that support serotonin and melatonin.
They also cover how relationships affect health, including how strong connections reduce stress and support long-term results.
