    Your Chair is Your Biggest Health Risk- Science-Backed Ways to Fight Back

    Hey guys! Today I’m going over how dangerous sitting and leading a sedentary lifestyle can be. I also go over how adding movement throughout your day ( think of these as “exercise snacks”) in addition to a workout can help mitigate the risks of a sedentary lifestyle.  In this video, I break down the latest research on how movement — from simple walks to squats and strength training — combats the effects of sitting all day. Whether you're at a desk job or just living a low-movement lifestyle, this video is for you. I also mention how women especially can benefit from strength training, needing less time than guys to reap the benefits. I go over briefly, too, how cycle syncing your workouts can be so beneficial to really work with your body instead of against it.  I hope you learn something new in today’s video and as always, if you have any questions, drop them down in the comments below!

    Sleep Hacks Your Doctor Won't Tell You

    Hello!! If you struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up tired, your sleep problems may actually be starting during the day! In this video, I break down what sleep hygiene is and explain how your daytime habits affect your circadian rhythm, hormones like cortisol and melatonin, and your ability to sleep well at night. Sleep isn’t just about what you do before bed; it’s about how you live your entire day. In this video, I cover: • What sleep hygiene really means • How circadian rhythm controls your sleep-wake cycle • Morning habits that support better sleep at night • Blue light and its effect on melatonin • Nighttime wake-ups • Evening routines that help your nervous system wind down If you’re looking for natural ways to sleep better, want to improve your energy during the day, or feel like your sleep schedule is off, this video will help you understand why that’s happening and what to do about it. If you’re tired of guessing what’s affecting your sleep and want personalized support, I offer 1:1 health coaching to help you regulate your nervous system, support circadian rhythm, and build sustainable habits that actually work for your life. 👉 Book a FREE Call here: https://stan.store/livingwellwithliza/p/discovery-call-cng3f6oj Intro/Outro MusicSong: Blue Wednesday - '90s Kid (Vlog No Copyright Music)Music provided by Vlog No Copyright Music.Video Link: • Blue Wednesday - '90s Kid (Vlog No Copyrig... #sleephygiene #circadianrhythm #bettersleep#sleeptips #holistichealth #healthcoach
