What If You Didn’t Need Coffee to Function?

The alarm goes off. You hit snooze.
Twice.

By the time you drag yourself out of bed, your brain feels like molasses, your body feels heavy, and the only thing that sounds remotely doable is caffeine.

That was me for the years I was in medical school. Morning fog. Afternoon crashes. Feeling half-asleep all day, then wide awake at night.

And the crazy thing? I was tired, but my body wasn't letting me sleep deeply.

Here's why:
🔁 Your morning energy depends on your nighttime cortisol levels. If your stress hormone doesn't drop at night, you'll feel wiped the next day.
💡 The light you get in the first hour of your morning tells your brain when to make melatonin later. (Most of us get this wrong!)
🍽 What you eat at dinner affects your sleep cycles. A blood sugar crash at 3 AM = an automatic wakeup.


Want to fix it? You don't need another cup of coffee. You need to reset your hormone rhythms.

That's exactly what we do inside Hormone Harmony Jumpstart. Step by step, I'll walk you through how to fix your sleep—and finally wake up feeling rested again.
