Ooooo I decided to post this because my “5am mornings weren’t designed for women” post from the other week really hit home for a lot of people (and also pi**ed a lot of other people off lol).
Do you consider yourself a night owl??
Or do you know someone who does? (send this to them 👀)
Here’s the thing we’re constantly reminding our clients with hormone, gut, anxiety, fatigue, cycle, and inflammation issues:
If you want to feel better, you have to start with your circadian rhythm and cortisol.
Not supplements.
Not another protocol.
Not pushing harder or “being more disciplined.”
Your body is designed to follow light and darkness. When sleep timing is off, cortisol stays elevated at the wrong times, melatonin gets suppressed, blood sugar becomes less stable, digestion slows, hormones get dysregulated … and everything downstream feels harder.
That “second wind” late at night?
That’s not productivity.
That’s stress hormones keeping you alert when your body should be resting
You might feel great staying up late… but it’s often the same reason people feel wired, anxious, bloated, exhausted in the morning, and dependent on caffeine to function.
Sleep timing is hormone timing.
And for most women, consistently going to bed late is quietly working against their healing
Save this for tonight 🌙
Send it to your favorite “night owl.”
And if your hormones, digestion, mood, or energy feel off… start here! 😜
