Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on your brain, but what if there was a way to mitigate the effects? In this Habits and Hustle bonus episode, I am joined by fitness expert Ben Greenfield, who reveals his go-to stack for combating the cognitive consequences of too little shut-eye.

We also dive into using a continuous glucose monitor to optimize diets and discuss the potential pros and cons of dairy milk alternatives. We even discuss the role of dietary fructose and how it impacts metabolic health, particularly for inactive individuals.
