A Healthy Curiosity

What if it's not what we eat, but when? This episode explores

• the part of your brain that regulates hunger, hormones, and sleep;
• how our organs tell what time it is;
• yet another reason to eat breakfast.

The wisdom behind living in sync with nature comes from ancient traditions—Ayurveda and Chinese medicine are just two of these—and modern science is just now catching up. We also dig into the Dr. Satchin Panda's new book Circadian Code.

The feeling of overwhelm can be crippling. Even when we want to take better care of ourselves, self-care can become that item on the to-do list that we never get to. On today's episode, we talk about

• the stories we tell ourselves about who we are
• identity evolution and agency
• self-care as a gradual process
