Your bedtime routine might be doing more harm than you think especially when it comes to hormone balance. In this episode, we’re talking about how modern night habits like bright lights, scrolling, and late-night snacking can silently sabotage your sleep, cortisol rhythm, blood sugar, and even gut health.


You’ll learn how your body reads light as a signal, what happens hormonally when you eat too late, and why nighttime screen time keeps your stress hormones elevated (even if you feel “relaxed”). Plus, I’ll walk you through simple, mom-friendly tips to start protecting your hormones and improving your energy tonight.


In this episode, you’ll learn:


  • How LED lights and screens impact your cortisol and melatonin




  • Why late-night snacks disrupt blood sugar and fat-burning




  • What nighttime stimulation does to your nervous system




  • Simple shifts to protect your circadian rhythm and sleep




  • Why hormone healing starts with light and rhythm rather then restriction
