Personalized Precision Medicine offers us the chance to dive into someone’s daily routines and apply particular nuanced care strategies to optimize health and wellbeing. In my own practice as a health coach and dietitian, I find over and over that people do not fully understand how their body feels with the movement they push it to perform. Furthermore, they do not feel their mind, body, spirit connection in relation to the movement they perform. Unfortunately, these intimate ties have been formerly severed in the human experience in recent times.

Most people I meet don’t reflect on how their creatine and caffeine combo pre-workout they take in the evening to prep for their evening workout routine after day job work schedule is likely negatively impacting their nighttime routine and disrupting their natural sleep cycle.

Welcome back to ZigZag Nutrition.

Today, I’m going to discuss the connections between sleep, stress, movement, and physical activity. In functional medicine or precision medicine we strive to tailor movement and exercise recommendations based on someone’s unique needs to support their optimal wellbeing. If we are not careful, too much exercise can drive us towards adrenal burnout and nutrient depletion. Additionally, depending on the timing and intensity of exercise it can be helpful or harmful to someone’s sleep pattern.

I’ll dive into all these details and more in today’s podcast.
