Running Strong

71 - ELIZABETH KNIGHT Wants You to Sleep Better


Listen Later

This week I'm interviewing Elizabeth Knight!

Elizabeth lives and runs in Portland, Oregon. When she’s not on the trails in Forest Park, she works as a nurse practitioner and owns an integrative health coaching practice, Flower Power Health, where she works with runners. She’s passionate about science, inclusivity, and helping people approach their bodies with kindness and curiosity. A few of her favorite things are dogs, rock and roll, and pizza. You can find her online at flowerpower.health and on Instagram @flowerpower.health.

She and I got together to discuss the importance of sleep for athletes - and humans in general.

Hope you enjoy the episode!
