Sleep isn’t only about how many hours you get. Research shows that consistent sleep and wake times help regulate circadian rhythms, which influence sleep quality, hormone release, energy levels, and metabolic function. Irregular sleep schedules can disrupt these rhythms—even when total sleep hours appear adequate. This means :• Going to bed and waking at similar times matters • Sleep timing helps the body anticipate rest and wakefulness • Quality and regularity influence how restorative sleep feels Duration still matters, but consistency helps the body use sleep more effectively. Beginner functional approach: Aim for a regular sleep and wake window most days of the week—even on weekends—while allowing flexibility for real life. Functional wellness supports rhythms, not rigid perfection. Functional Living Academy ✨ Inside Functional Living Academy, we focus on sleep as a biological rhythm—not a numbers game.

Digestion follows rhythms—just like sleep and energy. The digestive system is influenced by circadian biology, meal timing, and nervous system activity. When eating patterns are irregular or constantly changing, digestive comfort and efficiency can be affected. Research shows that: • The gut has its own internal timing systems • Digestive processes vary across the day • Regular meal timing can support digestive function This doesn’t mean rigid schedules are required. It means the digestive system benefits from predictability and consistency. Beginner functional approach: • Eat meals at roughly similar times most days • Allow adequate time between meals • Eat in a calmer state when possible Supporting digestive rhythms is about working with physiology, not controlling it. Functional Living Academy ✨ Inside Functional Living Academy, we teach digestion as a functional process—not a list of rules.

Tough day with battling medical insurance issues and then had eye doctor appointment and have to see a specialist. So I debated getting my workout in. I focused on my whys and boom I completed my workout.
