0:00.0	Hey there, did you notice anything different about today's episode? Yes, we got a little bit of a
0:06.5	facelift. That's right. I changed out the photo and updated it and I actually changed the podcast name.
0:13.9	I've always had it make it simple, but as I have just kind of thought through what I want to focus on and just thinking about health
0:22.3	and hormones and making it match up with my app, we decided to make the podcast name Make Fit Simple.
0:29.2	So you may not have noticed because it's actually only an addition of one tiny little letter
0:33.9	just adding in an F. But other than that, it's still the same old podcast. We're going to
0:39.1	still talk about some amazing topics. But now the podcast will be known as Make Fit Simple. And
0:45.9	obviously we got a new photo, which is a little exciting. My girls are getting a little bit
0:49.9	older, and I just felt like it was time to update it. Now, what's not going to be changing is the amazing
0:55.3	content, as I've said. And I'm excited for today's episode because I'm going to give you three
0:59.8	tips for improving your circadian rhythm and just truly improving your sleep, that if I'm
1:05.0	100% honest, are tips I definitely overlooked for a lot of years. I had heard these over and over again, and I was like,
1:11.7	yeah, yeah, yeah, they can't make that much of a difference. But there are three things that I
1:16.1	changed as I started to develop hormone issues. A couple episodes back, I told about my issues
1:21.4	with thyroid, my issues with cortisol, my issues with testosterone, which I'm going to dig a lot
1:26.0	more into hormones on the podcast. But
1:28.6	these were a couple of things that I changed to help improve my sleep to make sure that I was
1:34.2	recovering better. Because if you don't recover well in the night, it's going to make the next
1:39.0	day a lot more complicated. So these were things that I'd overlooked and realized they're a lot more important
1:45.9	and make a bigger difference than I had imagined. So I want you to try to think about changing
1:51.5	these up. My name's Andrew Allen and I am a mother of four girls under seven, a wifey to a
1:58.5	mountain man, a personal trainer, and a nutrition coach.
