If your brain feels foggy, your memory’s playing hide-and-seek, and you’re tired even after sleeping—this episode is your wake-up call. We’re diving into the science of why midlife women need more quality sleep, not just more coffee.

What we cover:

  • How sleep impacts brain detox and cognitive function
  • What telomeres are (and why you want to protect them)
  • The role of the glymphatic system in brain clarity
  • Lifestyle tweaks that boost sleep, focus, and longevity
  • How to sync your circadian rhythm (yes, that matters!)
  • Practical ways to build a sleep-supporting nightly routine
