In Part 2 of this Fit Physician Podcast series, Suzanne and Jake continue their conversation with sleep coach and Sleep Is A Skill host Mollie Eastman, shifting from “why sleep matters” to what actually moves the needle—without making sleep feel overwhelming, expensive, or perfectionistic. Mollie breaks down the different “buckets” of sleep issues (optimization vs. insomnia/sleep anxiety), shares the most practical starting points for real people (sleep diary, wearables, CGMs, and why sleep testing can be a game-changer—especially for women over 40), and explains how to use wearable data in an empowering way (instead of letting a bad score derail your day). You’ll also learn the true low-hanging fruit for better sleep—circadian rhythm basics, consistency, bright days/dark nights, meal timing, temperature and thought timing—plus a refreshingly balanced take on screens and blue light (including why “perfect sleep hygiene” can backfire). If you want a clear, realistic playbook to improve sleep in a busy life, this episode delivers.
