This episode is sponsored by Bon Charge: Use code QUANTUMPOD to save at Bon Charge - https://boncharge.com/?rfsn=7983798.a28419In this episode, we're unpacking one of the most misunderstood wellness tools: fasting. But instead of jumping on the “fast harder” bandwagon, we’re breaking down the nuance—especially around hormones, fertility, and mitochondrial health. We’re talking leptin signaling, nervous system regulation, cold exposure, the right timing for longer fasts, and how to actually earn the right to fast. Plus, we get real about our own experiences with intermittent fasting, why it backfired, and what to look for if your body isn’t quite ready. Whether you’re prepping for pregnancy or just want to use fasting as a tool for resilience—not more stress—this one’s for you.(00:03:26) Health Benefits of Hormetic Stress Exposures(00:07:21) Cellular Renewal and Weight Loss through Fasting(00:15:20) Optimizing Leptin Signaling for Effective Fasting(00:21:38) Metabolic Response to Seasonal Fructose Signals(00:28:13) Hormone-Optimized Fasting for Health and Fertility(00:33:53) Electrolyte Balance in Fasting Strategies(00:37:14) Belief in the Body's Regenerative PowerSarah's AppApple - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mycircadianapp/id6538168795?platform=iphoneAndroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.appCode SarahK for 3 weeks free on Android & 1 month free on AppleThis video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!--------------------------------------------Subscribe to the Quantum Conversations Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6izLpb6HnQGb3Y5v9GFf14?si=c65de8de097f49e5Connect with Sarah:Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

After years of clinical work and personal experience, we’ve seen firsthand how cold exposure can go really right—or really wrong—depending on how you do it. We break down why the “colder and longer is better” mindset is flawed, what happens to your mitochondria after a plunge, how cold therapy impacts your two-week wait, and why your face might be the best place to start. Plus, we share what actually worked in our own healing journeys and fertility prep. This is a nuanced (yes, we say it a lot!) conversation for anyone curious about using cold as a healing tool—without wrecking your hormones.(00:01:44) Hormone Regulation through Cold Therapy Approaches(00:16:28) Gradual Acclimation for Safe Cold Therapy(00:24:14) Gradual Cold Plunges for Healing Benefits(00:31:32) Mitochondrial Health and Fertility Optimization through Cold Therapy(00:37:25) Sunlight and Cold Therapy for Metabolism(00:39:37) Optimizing Fertility Through Strategic FastingSarah's AppApple - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mycircadianapp/id6538168795?platform=iphoneAndroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.appCode SarahK for 3 weeks free on Android & 1 month free on AppleThis video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!--------------------------------------------Subscribe to the Quantum Conversations Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6izLpb6HnQGb3Y5v9GFf14?si=c65de8de097f49e5Connect with Sarah:Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Hormone Replacement Therapy: What We Wish More Women Knew
This episode is sponsored by Bon Charge: Use code QUANTUMPOD to save at Bon Charge - https://boncharge.com/?rfsn=7983798.a28419This week, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s wellness: hormone replacement therapy (HRT). After seeing a flood of questions online, we wanted to take a moment to reset the conversation—from how hormones are made in the first place to why light, stress, sleep, and nutrition often need to be addressed before reaching for supplements or bioidenticals. We dive into our own stories of adrenal fatigue and flatlined hormones, the real reasons your body might not be making progesterone, and why the HRT conversation can’t be one-size-fits-all. We also explore how blood sugar, nervous system signals, and even artificial light can influence everything from perimenopause symptoms to weight gain. If you’re wondering why “doing more” isn’t helping—or why sweet potatoes somehow became controversial online—this one’s for you.(00:01:47) Circadian Influence on Cortisol Regulation(00:09:33) Balancing Cortisol, Melatonin, and Leptin Levels(00:16:51) Inflammation triggered by stress and lifestyle choices.(00:25:35) Holistic Approach to Hormone Balance in Menopause(00:26:34) "Personalized Approaches to Menopausal Hormone Health"(00:26:47) Individualized Experiences in Hormone Replacement Therapy(00:41:08) Individualized Hormone Replacement Therapy: A GuideSarah's AppApple - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mycircadianapp/id6538168795?platform=iphoneAndroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycircadian.appCode SarahK for 3 weeks free on Android & 1 month free on AppleThis video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!--------------------------------------------Subscribe to the Quantum Conversations Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6izLpb6HnQGb3Y5v9GFf14?si=c65de8de097f49e5Connect with Sarah:Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!
