Ep. 64 - The Neuropeptide Nobody Told You About

We started talking about sleep and ended up somewhere we didn't expect: a neuropeptide called orexin that quietly runs your wakefulness, your appetite, your stress response, and your body composition. Not a supplement. Not a hack. Something your body already makes and something modern life is really good at disrupting.From why women and men respond to stress so differently, to why undereating tanks your sleep before your bedtime routine even matters, orexin connects everything. Light, protein, movement, chronic stress, it all feeds into the same system.And that's the part that keeps nagging at us.
