We all know the special kind of crappery that hits after a bad night’s sleep. But what we don’t always realize in the moment is how much that tiredness can quietly shape the choices we make — from how we eat to how we think to how we handle our day.

So, in this episode we get into what actually happens after a bad nights sleep, but it's also designed so you can come back to it anytime you’ve had a rough night (or week) of sleep - because those are the days where we need reminders . . .

We’re Covering:
✔️ How sleep loss impacts your hunger hormones and cravings (and what to do about it)
✔️ Why your anxiety volume might feel louder and how to ground yourself
✔️ How tiredness can make everything feel more personal (and why it’s not actually about you)
✔️ Why your willpower and motivation take a hit after poor sleep — and how to work with it, not against it
✔️ The “feelgood thing” that can give you a much-needed boost on tired days

Decision fatigue is real—especially in the supplement aisle. Today I’m breaking down the big protein powder families (whey, casein, plant blends, beef, collagen, and the newer essential amino acid powders) so you can pick what actually fits your body, goals, and budget—without huff-and-puff rage-quitting your cart.

We’re covering:

• Whey vs why isolate, and why I've changed my opinion on dairy-based protein powders
• Plant-based blends: why pea + rice (and fermented options) can fix chalky, bloaty vibes but how to get around it
• Lesser known but popular in the natural-health world: Beef protein (you heard me right)
• Collagen 101: skin/joints/gut perks—but why it’s not your main protein source
• The new Amino Acid Powders on the market, and why they could be a better pick for some
• Practical picks by goal: recovery, easy digestion, skin/hair/nails, or minimal calories
• today's feel good thing

Who this episode is for:

• You’re confused by labels (isolate, concentrate, fermented, hydrolyzed, marine vs. bovine)
• You want easier recovery, steadier energy, or support as you age
• You struggle with digestion on typical powders and need gentler options

Brands/terms mentioned (not sponsored):
