Dr. John Nieters explains how daily, seasonal, and hormonal rhythms shape energy, metabolism, sleep, and long-term health.

In this episode of The Balancing Point, I explore what it means to live in rhythm with your body. From circadian cycles and hormone timing to seasonal eating, sleep, and movement, I explain how ancient Chinese medicine identified biological patterns that modern science now confirms. We’ll look at how ignoring these rhythms drives fatigue, weight gain, and hormonal imbalance—and how restoring alignment can dramatically improve health, energy, and resilience.

In this episode, Dr. John Nieters explains why fibrinogen—a rarely tested blood marker—may be a far stronger predictor of heart attack and stroke risk, and what you can do to lower it before problems start.
