235: The Only 2 Things You Need to Sleep Better in 2026


Listen Later

You’ve probably tried supplements, routines, trackers, and every sleep tip you can find—and you’re still lying awake at night. That’s not because you’re doing something wrong or because your body is broken. It’s because most sleep advice misses the only two things getting in the way of good sleep.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the two levers that truly matter for sleep in 2026: removing what’s actively stressing your nervous system, and restoring what your body no longer has enough of. 

You’ll learn how toxins, infections, and hidden physiological stressors keep your brain on high alert—and why no amount of “calming” supplements will work until those are addressed.

I’ll also walk you through what the body commonly runs short on as we age or live under chronic stress, and how supporting those foundations should come before biohacking, peptides, and longevity supplements.
