Episode notes
Gut As Energy Control Center
- The gut influences energy via nutrient absorption, hormone production, and immune signaling like serotonin production.
- Improving gut health can cascade to better hormone and immune function, lifting overall energy.
Feed Your Gut For Energy
- Eat fiber-rich, diverse plant foods like blueberries, leafy greens, nuts, and legumes to support gut bacteria and energy.
- Avoid ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages that spike blood sugar, raise inflammation, and drain energy.
Morning Light To Set Your Clock
- Get a few minutes of natural light within an hour of waking to set your body's master clock and boost focus.
- Morning sunlight even on cloudy days helps your suprachiasmatic nucleus and benefits gut bacteria signalling to the brain.
