The Dr. Hyman Show: Why You Are TIRED All The Time

Most people think they're tired because they're not sleeping enough. That's rarely the whole story.

I sat down with Dr. Mark Hyman to get into what's actually behind chronic fatigue and what to do about it. We covered:

• Why you can be sleeping 8 hours and still feel terrible
• Undiagnosed sleep disorders and the biomarkers worth paying attention to
• How to build a wind-down routine that actually works
• Hidden stressors that are quietly wrecking your energy
• Why muscle is the organ of longevity and what that means for your brain and hormones
• Strength training and HIIT for cardiovascular health as you age
• How to use health data and wearables without getting lost in the numbers

If you've been brushing off fatigue as just part of life, this conversation will change how you think about it.
