#1 Habit That Transforms Sleep – Fix Your Sleep, Fix Your Life! l Melissa Urban l Ep #426

🔹 About This Episode:

Sleep is the foundation of everything—yet it’s often the most overlooked pillar of health. In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Urban, founder of Whole30, to uncover the invisible cost of poor sleep on your body. We break down how sleep deprivation drives cravings, disrupts insulin sensitivity, impacts hormones, and slowly erodes resilience over time. Melissa shares her personal journey through burnout, disrupted sleep cycles, and the wake-up calls that changed how she approaches health and longevity.

We also dive into practical, science-backed solutions to improve sleep quality—from consistency and stress management to optimizing your sleep environment. Melissa reveals the powerful tech hack that transformed her sleep (and even saved her marriage), including Ozlo Sleepbuds. We also unpack supplements like magnesium, melatonin, and CBD, plus the habits that matter most if you want deeper, more restorative sleep. If you’ve optimized everything but still feel tired, this episode will change how you think about sleep—and your long-term health.
