About this episode

Sarah Kleiner discusses wellness themes with Dr. Sarah Pugh, focusing on hormones, addiction patterns, and individual dietary differences.

Host Sarah welcomes Dr. Sarah Pugh for a wide-ranging Part 1 conversation touching on listener questions and current wellness themes. They discuss viral AI-generated social media accounts pushing cheap, vague weight-loss or supplement offers via Amazon links, and why people should be cautious. The conversation moves into addiction patterns (alcohol, food, nicotine, phone use), comfort eating, and weight-loss plateaus tied to low leptin, chronic dieting, and overexercising, emphasizing consistency, rhythm, light exposure, earlier dinners, and earlier bedtimes. They reference tools and labs including 4-point cortisol testing, CBCs, insulin and leptin ranges, sauna use and binder cautions, and how illness can distort labs. They also cover individual differences in diet (fiber, estrogen clearance), hair changes, traditional practices, deuterium and hydrogen inhalation, and how stress, light, and environment can shift the microbiome Links Mentioned in the video: Dr. Sara Pugh’s Substack - https://substack.com/@busysuperhuman Sarah Kleiner's Substack - https://substack.com/@sarahkleinerwellness Free Blueprint info session sign up…
