In this Q&A episode, I explore the science of sleep optimization, the hidden challenges of C-section recovery, and the controversial world of psychedelics for mental health and performance.
As a biohacker and new mom, I share my personal experiences, research-backed strategies, and practical tips for improving sleep quality, healing postpartum, and exploring alternative therapies safely.
