3 Mistakes That Destroy Your Sleep, Energy & Focus (with Dr. Breus, The Sleep Doctor)


Listen Later

Ever feel like those trendy wellness hacks aren't giving you the results you want? That's probably because you're overlooking some far more basic – and powerful – fundamentals in your daily life that when done right, can unlock the key to sorting out nearly every other area of your life. That's right: sleeping, drinking water, and breathing. Sounds too simple, right?

Today I'm diving deep into these fundamentals with Dr. Michael Breus, known worldwide as The Sleep Doctor. He's here to reveal how these three basic behaviors can revolutionize your health – and why so many of us are doing them wrong without even knowing it. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the latest wellness trends, exhausted from chasing the next big thing, or just plain tired of being tired, this conversation is your wake-up call. Whether you're dealing with fatigue, stress, brain fog, or just feeling stuck in your wellness journey, Dr. Breus shares practical, easy-to-implement strategies that will change how you think about health. From understanding your sleep chronotype to learning the proper way to hydrate and breathe, we're getting back to basics in the most powerful way.
