About this episode
I answer questions submitted by listeners about topics ranging from how to ensure great sleep after nighttime exercise, effective no-caffeine pre-workouts (that also improve your sleep quality), neuroscience-supported tools for improving your memory and sense of smell, nutrition and supplementation for improving female and male fertility, the link between (peri)menopause and mental health, accelerating recovery from surgery, how to find your life’s passion, and more.
Please note that if your question was not answered this time, we will keep it to consider for future Q&A episodes. A special thank you to everyone who submitted a question!
