On this episode of Mind, Body and Business, I’m joined by Dr. Christopher Allen—better known as Sleep Doctor Chris—to uncover the truth about how sleep (or lack of it) impacts your health, productivity, and peace of mind. We dive into the dangers of chronic sleep deprivation, break down sleep cycles in simple terms, and explore practical ways busy women can quiet their minds at night. Dr. Chris also shares whether it’s ever too late to make a change, plus an invitation for parents to attend his upcoming webinar on helping kids develop healthy sleep habits.

In this inspiring episode, I chat with Christin Cerda—kidney transplant recipient, development manager, and passionate advocate with the National Kidney Foundation. Christin opens up about her personal journey and why awareness, prevention, and early conversations with your doctor are key to protecting your health.

We explore what it means to truly listen to your body, how to support loved ones living with kidney disease, and the role we all play in spreading awareness.
