In today’s episode with behavior change Dr. Kara Mohr, we continue
- our mutual love for weighted blankets and Kara’s personal recommendation for Gravity Blankets and a sunrise alarm
- the importance of keeping your “work/office space” outside of your bedroom to avoid sleepless nights
- how choices to enjoy an extra glass of wine in the evening or to stay up a little later should be intentional with the knowledge that it will disturb sleep
- Kara’s history with getting what she thought was “enough sleep” only to realize it was adversely impacting her overall mood and day-to-day interactions
I close out today’s episode with additional follow up about a recent recipe I mentioned at the beginning of a recent {wednesday rewind} of The Protein {Powder} Episode and shared on the blog and — the recipe for How I Created My Own High-Fiber Protein Powder. I share insight into my discussion with dietitian colleague Danielle Omar about “how much fiber” is actually in this recipe and how/why some people might want to use less. I end the show by sharing two voicemails I received recently from fellow dietitian and fan of the show, Lauren Harris-Pincus — a self-proclaimed F-Factor fan — about the prebiotic inulin fiber she’s subbing into her version of the F-Factor 20/20 protein powder and the results she’s having.
