    The Exhausted Mom’s Guide to Anemia, Circadian Rhythms, and Polyphasic Sleep

    Sarah hosts Nikko Kennedy on the Evolving Wellness podcast to discuss motherhood, preconception, and sleep, emphasizing how optimizing light and darkness can support polyphasic sleep and help mothers function despite frequent night wakings. Nikko argues modern expectations of consolidated 8-hour sleep and nighttime screen use worsen fatigue, while extended time in dim darkness (often 10–14 hours postpartum) can improve resilience, weight loss, and overall endocrine and metabolic health. They connect sleep to anemia, noting over 90% of new red blood cells come from recycled iron, with inflammation-regulated hepcidin limiting iron use regardless of supplementation; they highlight the roles of mitochondria, liver, spleen, and bone marrow and the need for nighttime darkness. They also touch on community/social cues, dad’s health and placental outcomes, pregnancy blood volume expansion, and mixed experiences with desiccated organ supplements. —  Connect with Nikko: https://substack.com/@nikkokennedy?r=5eztl9&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page https://www.instagram.com/brighterdays.darkernights/  YOUR COMPLETE SUMMER SUN GUIDE - Free Webinar: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/webinar-your-summer-sun-guide or Scan the QR code at 01:58  _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order.  _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Coming Up 00:29 Podcast Intro  03:27 Meet Nikko Kennedy 06:04 Why Nikko Helps Moms 13:52 Polyphasic Sleep Basics 16:26 Postpartum Rest Strategy 17:54 Sleep Is Social Screens 22:22 Handling Pushback Privilege 24:17 Jealousy Online 25:44 Iron Recycling Basics 28:06 Darkness Heals Mitochondria 29:03 Enforced Darkness Protocols 31:18 Sunlight for Postpartum Recovery 35:17 Light and Breastfeeding Gains 36:06 Motherhood Moment Break 37:34 Practice Based Research 39:31 Dad Health and Placenta 41:22 Blood Volume Expansion 42:23 Boring Basics Protocol 42:47 Organ Supplements Debate ———  This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

    The Post-2021 Autoimmune Surge Nobody Wants to Talk About | Dr. Leland Stillman

    On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews Dr. Leland Stillman (general internist; Substack Dr. Stillman Uncensored) about leaving conventional medicine, speaking out on COVID and vaccines, and building a practice largely serving autoimmune, chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia, long COVID, and reported vaccine-injury patients; he says many symptoms cluster around pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and depression. Stillman argues lab values can fluctuate widely (often ~20% day to day, sometimes far more), making single readings, thyroid-replacement strategies based on free T3, and AI-generated direct-to-consumer lab reports misleading; he cites reference-range issues (e.g., cholesterol cutoffs) and emphasizes repeat testing and clinical context. He discusses his book The End of Autoimmunity, reporting a 2025 survey of 103 patients with self-reported gains in wellbeing, energy, sleep, and cognition, and outlines a “14 Day Reset” centered on morning sunlight, walking, hydration, earlier bedtime, and dimming lights. Names mentioned include Dr. Anna Maria Temple, Chris Exley, Catherine Austin Fitts, Del Bigtree, Brian Johnson, Neil Stone, Jack Dorsey, Glenn Jeffrey, and Dr. Tina, alongside brands VivaRays and Boncharge. —  Links Mentioned in the video:  https://store.stillmanmd.com/discount/SARAHKLEINER?ref=SARAHK https://stillmanmd.com/autoimmunity/ https://x.com/StillmanMD?mx=2  https://www.instagram.com/stillmanmd/   https://drstillmanuncensored.com/  _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Coming up 00:50 Podcast Intro Disclaimer 02:04 Meet Dr Stillman 04:02 COVID Skeptic To Autoimmunity Practice 09:32 Host Vaccine Mandate Story 12:19 Vaccine Injury Autoimmunity Debate 26:27 Lab Variability And AI Reports 34:50 Deplatforming and Scams 35:53 COVID Censorship and 5G 37:41 Controlled Opposition Online 38:38 Thriving Outside the Narrative 42:28 Healing Framework That Works 53:51 14 Day Reset Needle Movers 01:03:08 Community Resilience and Wrap Up ———  This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

    Why the Medical System Keeps Missing You with Chris Voutsas | Evolving Wellness Podcast

    On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews returning guest Chris, a lab reader and health coach, about why standard lab reference ranges can be misleading because they’re based on an average, chronically ill population, leading doctors to label many people “normal” until overt disease appears (e.g., insulin ranges where healthy averages are ~2–6). They criticize algorithmic, diagnosis-driven medicine and argue AI lab interpretation repeats these limitations, lacking nuance and the human “art” of healing. Chris shares his background of childhood illness, leaving a pre-med path after shadowing physicians constrained by the system, and building a holistic practice emphasizing blood chemistry context, lifestyle/circadian factors, behavior change, and nervous system/trauma-pattern work. They discuss setting realistic expectations, avoiding excessive testing and supplement spending, and Chris describes forming a multi-practitioner team and where to find him online. —  Book with Chris - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/DUNLjVAk/checkout Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themitopapi/ https://shieldofhealth.com SubStack: https://substack.com/@mitopapi X: https://x.com/Mitopapi _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order. → Toups & Co Organics | Ready to give Toups a try?

    Why Perimenopause Is Taking Over and How to Use It to Transform Your Midlife | Jamie Glowacki

    Sarah hosts Jamie Glowacki on the Evolving Wellness Podcast to discuss how Jamie’s background as a social worker led to her potty-training work, including the origin and growth of her “Oh Crap Potty Training” book and classes. They explore how parenting pressures and overwhelming information have intensified for modern moms, shifting Jamie’s focus toward supporting mothers’ well-being. The conversation turns to aging, perimenopause, and menopause, with Jamie describing a symptom-free transition and arguing that perimenopause can be a “report card” on health, emphasizing strength training, adequate dietary fat, and reducing endocrine disruptors. They also critique trendy, scripted health messaging—especially around HRT and telehealth—while acknowledging HRT can help some women. Additional topics include circadian eating, avoiding constant snacking, balancing seasonal/local foods, and simplifying family life to reduce stress. —  Links Mentioned in the video: https://www.instagram.com/jamie.glowacki/?hl=en  https://linktr.ee/jamieglowacki  _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Toups & Co Organics | Ready to give Toups a try?

    Light, Redox & Perimenopause: A Science-Based Approach to Hormones, Weight & Aging

    In part two of a conversation on the Evolving Wellness Podcast, the host and Dr. Sarah Pugh answer audience questions and discuss high-end versus low-cost PEMF beds, why signal quality matters, and concerns about plugging devices into the wall, grounding sheets, and EMF anxiety. They compare far-infrared BioMAT effects on cellular water and exclusion zone water with red light panels, and talk about adapting to EMF exposures during travel, airports, and saunas while using blue blockers and protective clothing. They explore differences in vitamin D and melanin responses at various UVIs, peptides such as melanotan (including dosing and reconstitution risks), and the importance of foundations and testing—especially cortisol curves and metabolic markers—in perimenopause support. The episode also covers cautious use of herbs and supplements, behavior strategies for cravings, cannabis-related hunger, influencer discernment, and a brief discussion of cholesterol as a useful molecule best interpreted in context. —  Links Mentioned in the video: Dr. Sara Pugh’s Substack - https://substack.com/@busysuperhuman  Sarah Kleiner's Substack - ⁠https://substack.com/@sarahkleinerwellness⁠ Free Blueprint info session sign up - ⁠https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/blueprint-live-info-session⁠ Blueprint LIVE (Starts first week of MAY) - ⁠https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/83DnpN2o?coupon_code=EARLYMAY⁠ Blueprint On Demand - ⁠https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/2oECuhhC/checkout⁠  All Courses & Protocols (Sarah Kleiner) - ⁠https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/store⁠  Sarah Kleiner’s free product guide (all my favorite things) - ⁠https://canva.link/vqycebyg1ulkohf⁠  Dr. Sara’s Retreat Waitlist - https://get.busysuperhuman.com/optin1769620703739  All Courses (Dr. Sara Pugh) - https://busysuperhuman.com/courses-coaching/  _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order. → Toups & Co Organics | Ready to give Toups a try?

    Why “Doing Everything Right” Isn’t Working (Hormones, Light, Quantum Biology & Metabolism)

    Host Sarah welcomes Dr. Sarah Pugh for a wide-ranging Part 1 conversation touching on listener questions and current wellness themes. They discuss viral AI-generated social media accounts pushing cheap, vague weight-loss or supplement offers via Amazon links, and why people should be cautious. The conversation moves into addiction patterns (alcohol, food, nicotine, phone use), comfort eating, and weight-loss plateaus tied to low leptin, chronic dieting, and overexercising, emphasizing consistency, rhythm, light exposure, earlier dinners, and earlier bedtimes. They reference tools and labs including 4-point cortisol testing, CBCs, insulin and leptin ranges, sauna use and binder cautions, and how illness can distort labs. They also cover individual differences in diet (fiber, estrogen clearance), hair changes, traditional practices, deuterium and hydrogen inhalation, and how stress, light, and environment can shift the microbiome Links Mentioned in the video: Dr. Sara Pugh’s Substack - https://substack.com/@busysuperhuman  Sarah Kleiner's Substack - https://substack.com/@sarahkleinerwellness Free Blueprint info session sign up - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/blueprint-live-info-session Blueprint LIVE (Starts first week of MAY) - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/83DnpN2o?coupon_code=EARLYMAY Blueprint On Demand - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/2oECuhhC/checkout  All Courses & Protocols (Sarah Kleiner) - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/store  Sarah Kleiner’s free product guide (all my favorite things) - https://canva.link/vqycebyg1ulkohf  Dr. Sara’s Retreat Waitlist - https://get.busysuperhuman.com/optin1769620703739  All Courses (Dr. Sara Pugh) - https://busysuperhuman.com/courses-coaching/  _________ Sponsored By: → Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. → Cowboy Colostrum | Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code SARAHK at https://cowboycolostrum.com/SARAHK → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ _________ Timestamp: 00:00 AI Influencers and Amazon Links 00:53 Podcast Intro and Disclaimers 03:53 Addictions and Comfort Eating 09:14 Leptin Reset and Metabolic Rhythm 16:26 Labs Stress and Modern Mitigation 37:53 Super Collagen Bone Broth 39:17 Organ Meats and Culture 42:00 Spotting AI Wellness Scams 54:31 Detox Binders and Sauna Safety 58:23 Deuterium Sleep and Microbiome ———  This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

    When Supplements Make You Feel Worse (And Why It’s Not Random) | Dr. Tyler

    Host Sarah interviews Dr. Tyler Panner, a PhD in cell biology and pharmacology, about why supplements can be life-changing for some people and harmful for others due to bioindividuality, genetics, and “terrain.” They discuss how stacking polyphenol supplements (e.g., curcumin, quercetin, resveratrol) can inhibit neurotransmitter breakdown and make adrenaline linger, worsening restlessness, anxiety, sleep, and irritability, and how concentrated products can also chelate iron and copper. They cover sulfur/sulfite sensitivity, histamine and glutamate “gas pedals,” confusing supplement blends, and misattributing adverse reactions to “detox.” The conversation critiques absolutist online supplement advice, fear-based content (including mold and oxalates), and highlights the need for supplement pharmacology, testing, and careful dosing, noting some people improve by removing the wrong supplements rather than adding more.

    Why “Healthy” Women Are Struggling With Fertility | Aimee Raupp

    Sarah Kleiner welcomes fertility practitioner Amy Ralph, an acupuncturist, herbalist, and east-meets-west “fertility detective,” to discuss why infertility is rising and how to investigate root causes beyond blaming female age. They critique fertility clinics repeating IVF/IUI cycles without changing protocols, emphasize male-factor gaps like limited semen analysis and lack of DNA fragmentation testing, and share that many women conceive naturally after failed IVF when medications aren’t tolerated. Amy cites declining fertility rates (now ~1 in 6 couples), increasing younger patients, and highlights undiagnosed/mistreated endometriosis and adenomyosis as major drivers, including studies linking endometriosis to worse IVF outcomes that improve after proper surgery. They stress whole-person approaches—uterine testing, inflammation and immune regulation, nervous system/trauma support, light environment, sleep, and individualized nutrition—alongside selective, efficient use of medical interventions. About Aimee Raupp’s Aimee Raupp’s Natural Fertility Coaching Program is designed to help women optimize their fertility and prepare their bodies for healthy conception through a holistic, root-cause approach. Combining functional medicine, nutrition, mindset work, and lifestyle changes, the program focuses on improving egg quality, balancing hormones, and reducing inflammation. Aimee’s mission is to empower women to take control of their fertility journey.
