In this episode, I’m joined by Sara Moreira—RN, FDNP, and hormone & metabolism practitioner for moms—for a refreshing and eye-opening conversation about the missing link in gut and hormone health: your circadian rhythm.

Sara opens up about her personal health journey, including years of gut issues and stubborn weight gain that didn’t improve—even with clean eating and regular workouts. What finally moved the needle? Learning how to live in sync with her body’s natural rhythm.

We break down:

  • What circadian rhythm actually is (and why it matters for digestion, energy, and hormones)
  • How modern life throws us out of sync—and what that means for your gut
  • What a circadian-aligned day really looks like
  • The truth about sunlight, vitamin D, and morning light exposure
  • And yes, we get a little controversial—challenging common beliefs about fasting and how it may be backfiring for some women

If you’ve been “doing everything right” but still feel bloated, tired, or stuck—this episode will give you a whole new perspective and practical tools to start shifting your routine for real results.
