Energy Is Everything: how to fix your "up and go" in the morning and strong sleep drive at night. Hacking cortisol.

Angela Shurina

Let's unlock the secret relationship between your biology and psychology that determines your energy levels, mood, and ability to create meaningful change in your life.   

How's your energy each morning? Before coffee? Your ability to have a great sleep most nights? Without meds, Netlix or booze?  

THAT determines your quality of life more than anything.  

Discover the science-backed morning ritual that naturally optimizes your energy without caffeine or sugar. This simple practice signals your brain's internal clock to produce the perfect cortisol pattern: high in the morning for sustained energy and gradually decreasing to support restful sleep.  

Learn why most people experience the opposite pattern (low morning energy, high evening alertness) and how this disrupts everything from immune function to cognitive performance.  

You'll also learn surprising energy hacks including the proper timing for melatonin supplementation, how grapefruit naturally extends cortisol effects, and why morning hydration and movement amplify your energy activation.  

This episode bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with actionable steps anyone can implement immediately. Whether you struggle with morning grogginess, afternoon slumps, or evening insomnia, these biological interventions create the foundation for optimal performance, mood, and fulfillment.  

Ready to charge your biological battery correctly? Your brain, body, and goals will thank you.
