Let’s talk napping! Whether you’re a nap enthusiast or you swear they make you more sleepy, this one’s for you. In this episode, I unveil the truth about napping – and you might be surprised at what you hear!

I also reveal the actual number of steps you should be taking every day to promote weight loss! Hint: it’s not 10,000 steps as you’ve probably heard before. But is it more or LESS? Keep listening to find out!

And for those concerned with improving heart health, I share some simple lifestyle habits to adopt that seamlessly fit into your daily routine. Also, I’ll discuss the dangers of mouthwash and healthy alternatives to achieve a clean-feeling mouth and fresh breath without destroying your oral microbiome.
