Think jet lag is just part of the travel game? Not anymore.

In this episode, host Kim Anderson dives into the science of circadian rhythms, inflammation, and travel fatigue with human performance expert Andrew Herr—founder of FlyKitt, a revolutionary jet lag solution trusted by Olympians, pro sports teams, special ops, and now… you!

Andrew shares how jet lag is not inevitable—and why it’s actually a choice if you know the physiology behind it. From the power of light exposure and blue light blocking glasses to targeted supplement timing and anti-inflammatory tricks, you’ll walk away knowing exactly how to take control of your energy, sleep, and mental clarity on your next trip.

Whether you're flying for business, adventure, or a dream vacation—you don’t have to waste a single day recovering.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What actually causes jet lag (hint: it’s not just your sleep schedule)
  • Why inflammation disrupts your circadian rhythm—and how to stop it
  • How this solution uses personalized algorithms and science-backed tools to help 93% of travelers avoid jet lag. Yes, 93% of travelers! Wild, right?!?
