    Circadian Rhythm Hacks for Muscle in Menopause

    What if we could give you Circadian Rhythm hacks to improve your sleep ang energy throughout the day? Tune in to this episode to know what are these Circadian Rhythm hacks I’m talking about. Definition of Circadian Rhythm: Circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock, a 24-hour cycle, regulating your sleep-wake patterns, hormone levels, and other vital bodily functions. What can affect your circadian rhythm? Light exposure Food intake. Stress. Physical activity. Temperature. Travel Sleep habits, including overnight or off-hour work shifts Health conditions, including medications So it makes sense we can create circadian rhythm hacks or havoc during menopause that will … accelerate aging or reverse it. Overview of Menopause and Circadian Disruption: Menopause can disrupt circadian rhythms due to hormonal fluctuations, leading to sleep disturbances and metabolic changes. Circadian Rhythm: The Body's Internal Clock Mechanisms of Circadian Rhythm: Regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus, circadian rhythms synchronize with environmental cues Impact of Menopause on Circadian Rhythm: Hormonal changes can alter sleep patterns and circadian timing, affecting overall health. Sleep and Menopause: The Gap Sleep Challenges During Menopause: Insomnia, night sweats, and frequent awakenings, often due to hormonal fluctuations. Consequences of Poor Sleep: Disrupted sleep can elevate cortisol levels, impair glucose metabolism, and increase fat storage. Strategies for Optimizing Sleep: Consistent Sleep Schedule: Maintaining regular sleep and wake times Evening Routines: Limiting blue light exposure and engaging in calming activities before bed Nutritional Considerations: Consuming a balanced diet and avoiding stimulants close to bedtime Circadian Rhythm Hacks: Resetting Your Body To reset your circadian rhythm, your body needs to follow a healthy 24-hour schedule. Use the following tips to stay on track: Stick to a daily routine. Get morning light. Stay active with daily physical activity. Create a sleep sanctuary. Avoid evening stimulants. Limit your screen time. Skip late naps. Exercise and Hormone Balance: Syncing with Your Rhythm Timing of Exercise: Morning vs. Evening Workouts: The timing of exercise can influence circadian rhythms and sleep quality. Hormonal Effects of Exercise: Workouts affect cortisol, melatonin, and body temperature, playing a role in circadian regulation and sleep quality. Evening and High-Intensity Exercise: This does not have a significant negative effect on sleep quality but physiological circadian rhythm tends to alter. Long-Term Morning Exercise: This decreases cortisol concentrations after awakening and improves sleep quality. Overtraining: A long-term longitudinal study reported significantly higher morning cortisol levels and reduced sleep quality after overtraining in the postseason compared to the preseason in female soccer players Impact of Exercise on Cortisol and Circadian Rhythm: Cortisol Response: Exercise induced cortisol release, varying based on intensity and timing. Circadian Alignment: Regular physical activity regulates circadian rhythms, improving sleep and metabolic health. Recommendations: Morning Exercise: Moderate-intensity workouts in the morning may enhance alertness and align with natural cortisol peaks. Evening Exercise: Low-intensity activities like yoga in the evening can promote relaxation without disrupting sleep. Nutrition: Eating with the Clock Meal Timing and Circadian Rhythm: Impact on Metabolism: Aligning meal times with circadian rhythms can improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Evening Eating: Consuming large meals late in the evening may disrupt sleep and circadian alignment. Nutritional Strategies for Hormone Balance: Balanced Diet: Incorporate lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to support hormonal health. Specific Nutrients: Ensure adequate intake of magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, which play roles in sleep regulation and inflammation reduction. Lifestyle Circadian Rhythm Hacks Daily sunlight exposure. Evening light management. Stress management techniques, like meditation and deep breathing. Consistent meal times. Listener Q&A or Case Study Addressing Common Concerns: Sleep Struggles: Try managing insomnia during menopause. Sleep Yourself Skinny Exercise Timing: Explore how adjusting workout schedules can enhance energy levels and sleep quality. Nutritional Adjustments: Do meal planning to support hormonal balance. Success Story: Share a real-life example of a client who improved her health by aligning her lifestyle with her circadian rhythm.

    Changing Habits for 2025 Health Optimization

    It’s the New Year and many of us are interested in changing habits. Or we think we are… Changing habits can be hard. The question might be, should we be interested in creating habits? We have 60-70,000 thoughts a day. Unfortunately, 90% of them are the same as yesterday. We seek habits, Atomic Habits the book by James Clear, has been at the top of the charts for over five years. Yet, Dr Ellen Langer, author of CounterClockwise and Mother of Mindfulness, a professor at Harvard, says habits might be the worst thing we do. We’re no longer aware of our surroundings. She isn’t talking about yoga and meditation. She was talking about being aware. By consciously focusing on noticing. What did you notice today if you drove to work? What did you notice on your walk? We’re not mindful at all. I’m guilty. I used to preach to university students, no ipods during class. I’d send them out on a walk or run or have them do their mile fitness test without it. Most thought that was awful. Now I often catch up on a podcast or training. When I received an ipod as a gift downloaded with hundreds of my favorite artists and began using it, I was hooked. Shortly after I realized that I was in the middle of a 6 mile run and the battery died. I stopped dead in my tracks and wondered how I’d make it home. Twenty-five years of running with nothing but my thoughts and then I can’t move without it. Questions We Answer in this Episode: How changing habits is hard- [00:21:05] What your personality really is - [00:21:40] What is association vs dissociation - [00:11:40] Who do you need to become to have the results you want - [00:38:41] Changing Habits is Hard Thanks to Personality Actions start with thoughts. Our thoughts produce feelings. If we think that exercise has to be hard, then exercise becomes torture, eating differently is deprivation, or going to bed earlier is missing out. It’s those thoughts that create feelings, feelings motivate actions. Keep saying “that’s just me” then you’ll keep being the way you are now. That gets you the results you’ve been getting. Vs Adapt to the things that will get you what you want. You won’t be able to keep doing and thinking the same thing. Take a woman who wants to lose belly fat, sleep better, and build stronger bones. If she’s accustomed to nightly cocktails, those drinks may feel like a part of her personality. Even knowing the health benefits of cutting back, she may struggle to stop because her environment and habits reinforce her behavior. The same goes for habits like avoiding exercise, attending muscle-wasting bootcamps, or clinging to diets that give short-term wins but long-term setbacks. These habits feel safe because they’re familiar, even when they don’t work. But you might not be motivated about changing habits because they’ve become your personality. If it feels safe, It’s what you know. Changing feels unsafe because it disrupts comfort zones. Internal resistance arises when automatic habits take over, like reaching for coffee without thinking or defaulting to social norms. External resistance shows up when family or friends resist your changes, making it easier to stick to old patterns. Thoughts create feelings. Feelings drive actions. And familiar—even if it’s struggle—feels safe. Recognizing internal and external triggers is the first step to breaking free and creating the habits that align with your goals. Change starts in your mind. The Path to Changing Habits May Not Be the One You Think I want to leave you with two thoughts. First, maybe changing habits isn’t the goal. Reaching goals means not repeating what’s gotten the same results. Who do you need to be to have what you want? What messages are you telling yourself? What would someone where you want to be say? Second, maybe it’s time to upgrade your system, like a phone or laptop. What if you’re operating on comments from years ago—told you’re not smart, must work harder, or it’s safer to stay quiet? What if you still believe things must be hard to earn what you want? Decades later, you say, “I’ll just work harder” instead of considering “different.” Asking, “What if it were easy?” changes everything. What if you spoke up for what you need, skipped what doesn’t serve you, and said no unapologetically? Just consider what you likely already know to be true about yourself. There’s a juggling act between changing habits and having a true awareness, a mindfulness in every day. What haven’t you even dreamed that could be true of this coming year for you?
