You Can’t Do Everything At Once

Dr. Civelli sits down with Kristin Saban — real estate agent, insurance specialist, mom of two, and peptide enthusiast — for a candid conversation about managing health, hormones, and hustle in the middle of real life.From morning routines and the four burner method to retatrutide, cold plunging, and life insurance that pays out while you're still alive, this episode is equal parts practical and personal.The Four Burner Method Kristin shares a framework she discovered that changed how she thinks about balance — health, wealth, family, and friends. The idea is simple: not all four can run at full capacity at the same time. Something has to turn down so nothing burns out.Morning Routines & Real Consistency Kristin breaks down her 5:30am routine — Bible study, 20-30 minute workouts, Peloton, running, sauna, and cold plunging in the pool. The conversation gets honest about internal resistance, sleep quality, and what actually makes showing up easier.Peptides & Retatrutide Dr. Civelli and Kristin dig into retatrutide — what makes it different from semaglutide and tirzepatide, why it's more activating than depleting, and how it helped Kristin lose 90 pounds post-pregnancy and clear inflammation tied to Hashimoto's.Cold Plunge & Mitochondrial Health Kristin cold plunged throughout her second pregnancy. Dr. Civelli explains why the ability to tolerate extreme cold is actually a marker of mitochondrial health — and what overdoing it can do to your adrenal system.NAD, NMN & Supplements Dr. Civelli breaks down the difference between NAD and its precursor NMN, why NAD dose matters more than people realize, and how she tracks mitochondrial health through labs every three months. Also covered: Vitamin D3 paired with K2 and why that combination matters for calcium and bone health.Selank & Semax Nasal Sprays Kristin shares her experience with cognitive-enhancing nasal sprays for winding down at night — and yes, the taste is rough, but the calm is worth it.Microbiome Testing & Food Sensitivities Kristin reflects on her microbiome test results and how discovering that bell peppers were triggering inflammation changed her meal prep entirely.Alcohol & Inflammation An honest conversation about what alcohol actually does to the body, the liver's bandwidth during illness, and how quality of life factors into every medical decision — including whether to take brownies away from a grandma with dementia.Life Insurance with Living Benefits Kristin introduces the concept of living benefit riders — life insurance policies you can cash in on before death if diagnosed with a critical, chronic, or fatal illness. She shares a real story of a couple who used their policy to access $900,000 for specialty cancer treatment outside their network. He's alive today.
