If you’ve been doing all the “right” things—sleeping more, eating better, managing stress—but still wake up exhausted, this episode is for you. Dr. Tamar Lawful reveals how your DNA might be driving your fatigue and how to finally align your body’s rhythm for steady, sustainable energy.
Feeling tired no matter what you do? You’re not alone—and it’s not just stress or aging. In this powerful solo episode, Dr. Tamar Lawful explores how two key genes, COMT and CLOCK, influence your energy, mood, and sleep patterns.
Through real stories from her practice, including “Maya’s moment,” she shows how understanding your genes helps you stop blaming yourself for burnout and start working with your biology instead of against it.
Dr. Lawful also shares her own experience balancing night shifts and entrepreneurship, and how learning her DNA blueprint helped her turn exhaustion into alignment. You’ll walk away with practical steps to understand your rhythm, nourish your energy, and redesign your wellness from the inside out.

00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:10.400
Medications certainly have their place, but what if there was a way to support your body naturally by working with your genetics?
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.359
We are a pill for an ill society.
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.280
We take 18 pills per person per American per day.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.839
It was so hard to find somebody who took my insurance.
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.320
And for me to get well, it took thousands of dollars.
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.640
And I thought, what do regular people do?
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:25.600
This is not right.
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:32.079
Despite my best efforts, I wasn't actually reversing disease and helping people to heal in the way that I thought I would.
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.679
We want to empower yourselves to take care of this root call.
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.600
We don't just want to cover it up.
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.119
If you're ready to break free from outdated, one-size-fits-all health care, you're in the right place.
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:52.240
Welcome to Raise the Script with Nature Genomics, brought to you by Inner Glow by Life Balance.
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.039
Here's a literature from we are all unique, right down to our DNA.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.399
So it's no wonder we respond differently to the same medications, foods, and environments.
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.959
How do you discover what your body needs?
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.760
Which medications, foods, supplements, or exercises are right for you?
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.640
How can you manage chronic conditions without piling on more prescriptions?
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.640
That's what we're here to explore.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:17.840
I'm your host, Dr.
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.439
Tamar Lawful, Dr.
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:27.120
Pharmacy, Nutrigenomics Specialist, and your partner in reimagining how we personalize care for better outcomes.
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:34.319
Whether you're a patient or a practitioner, let's raise the script and bring healthcare to higher levels together.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.680
Because the future of health is personal.
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:48.879
You ever had that kind of morning where you open your eyes and before you even sit up, you can feel the weight of the day sitting right on your chest.
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.480
You did all the right things.
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.439
You went to bed at a decent hour, maybe even skipped a late night scroll on your phone.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.719
You've been eating better.
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.239
You've cut back on sugar.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:07.040
You try to get more movement in, but somehow, no matter what you do, you still wake up already behind on energy.
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:07.920
I've been there.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.599
I remember one morning standing in my kitchen with my scrub still smelling faintly like hospital sanitizer.
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:20.080
The sun was coming through the blinds, and I was stirring sugar into my coffee, the third cup, and it wasn't even 9 a.m.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:20.639
yet.
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.919
I was so tired, I could feel it in my bones.
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.280
And yet my mind wouldn't stop running through my to-do list.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:32.800
I was supposed to be off that day, but my body didn't understand what rest meant anymore.
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.199
I think about that version of me a lot.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.159
The one who thought exhaustion was a sign of strength.
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.879
The one who believed that if I just pushed a little harder, I'd finally catch up.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.599
But here's what I learned later.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.120
Sometimes the reason you're exhausted has nothing to do with willpower or even lifestyle.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.840
Sometimes it's about the invisible code written in every cell of your body.
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.680
It's in your DNA.
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.039
Hey friend, I'm Dr.
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:09.360
Tamar Lawful, and welcome back to Raise the Script with Nutrigenomics, the show where we decode your DNA so you can live and lead with energy, confidence, and longevity.
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.919
Today we're talking about that constant fatigue so many of us brush off as normal.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.879
Maybe you said things like, I'm just getting older, or it's stressed, or I probably need some sleep.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.120
But deep down, you know something doesn't add up.
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:26.719
Here's the truth.
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.280
Your body might be doing exactly what it's designed to do.
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:38.080
It's just that your design, your genetic blueprint, doesn't match the pace you're living at right now.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.319
When I work with women in leadership, high performers, and even my healthcare colleagues, I notice the same pattern.
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:52.639
They've built these amazing lives, they're doing meaningful work, but their bodies are quietly waving a white flag.
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.639
And it's not for lack of trying.
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.639
They've already checked every box.
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.000
Better diet, check, vitamins, workouts, check, maybe even meditation, check.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:09.439
Yet that deep energy, the kind that makes you feel clear and steady, still feels out of reach.
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.240
So let's talk about why that happens.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.639
And to do that, I want to introduce you to two little genes that can have a big say in how you feel.
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.000
And if you've been following me on Raise the Script, you've heard of these genes C-O-M-T and Clock.
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.879
That's C-O-M-T and Clock.
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.759
Now, before your eyes glaze over, stay with me.
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:32.240
All right.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.120
I promise this isn't going to sound like a science lecture.
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.040
Think of these genes as characters in your energy story.
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.399
C O M T is like your internal cleanup crew.
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:49.839
Its job is to sweep away the stress hormones that build up after long days of doing, leading, worrying, and multitasking.
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:58.800
Clock is your body's timekeeper, the gentle rhythm that tells you when to wake, when to wind down, and when to repair.
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.639
If either of these characters are offbeat, your whole system feels it.
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.920
Back when I first started working night shifts, I didn't understand this.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.519
I would finish a 12-hour shift, grab fast food on the way home.
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.279
My preference was IHOP.
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.879
I wanted those pancakes so bad, and I would binge on those pancakes, sleep for a few hours.
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.040
My body had no sense of time.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.639
Day felt like night, and night felt like an endless day.
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.120
I kept telling myself, I'm fine.
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.279
I just need a good weekend of rest.
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.759
But rest wasn't the issue.
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.199
My internal clock was completely out of rhythm.
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:42.720
My stress hormones were on constant replay because my C UMT gene, my cleanup crew, was struggling to keep up.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.480
Have you ever felt like that?
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.000
Where even when you're lying still, your brain is busy.
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.360
Like there's this invisible hum running in the background that never really shuts off.
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.120
If you're nodding right now, I want you to take a deep breath because it's not in your head.
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.800
Your body may simply be asking for alignment.
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.120
And when you understand what that means for you, everything changes.
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:16.480
You stop blaming yourself for being tired, you stop chasing quick fixes, you start working with your biology instead of fighting it.
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:29.519
In a minute, I'll share a story about one of my clients, Maya, and how understanding her genes completely changed her relationship with energy.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:37.360
But before we get there, I want to explain what's really happening beneath the surface because it'll make her story and maybe yours make a lot more sense.
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.800
Think of your body like a city that never sleeps.
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:46.319
Every hormone, every chemical messenger is like traffic moving through those city streets.
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.639
COMT is a crew that clears the roads after rush hour so everything can flow again.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.839
When that crew's running behind schedule, you've got a traffic jam everywhere.
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:02.319
Adrenaline, dopamine, cortisol, all crowding the streets.
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.040
That's when you feel wired but tired.
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.600
Your body's foot is on the gas, but the tank is running low.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:15.839
Now, add in the clock gene, the one that decides when the lights in that city turn green or red.
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.879
If the lights aren't synced properly, even the best drivers get stuck.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.240
You're tired in the middle of the day, alert at midnight, hungry at random times.
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.959
Your system's just trying to keep up with signals that don't make sense anymore.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.920
I want to pause here for a moment.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.000
If you're listening while driving or walking or maybe folding laundry, just take a second and notice.
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.120
When does your energy usually dip?
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.560
Morning, afternoon, evening?
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:54.639
That simple awareness is the first step in understanding your rhythm because your rhythm is the gateway to your energy.
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:01.360
And when your genes, your hormones, and your habits finally start working in rhythm, that's when things begin to shift.
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.600
Now let's go back to Maya.
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:12.000
When she first came to me, she looked put together on the outside, sharp suit, bright smile, planner colored, coated down to the minute.
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:17.519
But the first thing she said was, Tamar, I'm running on fumes.
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.519
Now she wasn't exaggerating.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:28.959
She tried all the usual fixes, new supplements, cutting gluten, joining a boot camp class at 5 a.m., even buying one of those expensive blue light alarm clocks.
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.199
She was doing everything right.
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:39.200
Yet by the time her kids went to bed, she was sitting in the dark kitchen, staring at her laptop, eating cereal out of the box just to keep going.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:45.679
When I asked what rest looked like for her, she laughed and said, scrolling Pinterest in bed.
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.360
Sound familiar?
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:54.000
We ran her genetic test, and sure enough, her CMT gene was what we call the slow clearance type.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:59.200
That means when adrenaline and dopamine rush through her system, they hang around longer than average.
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.279
In a crisis, she's incredible, focused, decisive, cool, under pressure.
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.639
But when the day is over, her body doesn't get the memo.
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.399
It keeps running yesterday's script.
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:13.279
Now I want to point out that when we do nutrigenomic testing, we don't typically look at just one gene.
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.440
We look at a variety of genes and together they tell us the full story.
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:23.519
But for the sake of simplifying things for you, I'm just highlighting these two genes separately.
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.759
So the more Maya and I talked, the more she realized she'd been living in a loop.
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.360
Push hard, crash, recover, just enough to push again.
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.360
Push hard, crash, recover, just to push again and repeat.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.600
The cleanup crew never had a chance to finish a shift.
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.000
Then we looked at her clock gene and things really clicked.
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.759
Hers tends to release alertness hormones later in the day.
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:52.240
So when everyone else was winding down, her body was revving up.
00:09:52.399 --> 00:10:00.399
She'd get on her second wind right after dinner, power through another three hours of work, and then lie awake wondering why she couldn't shut off.
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:06.240
Once she understood that, we stopped trying to fix her and started sinking her.
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:15.039
She shifted her hardest task to later in the morning, got 10 minutes of sunlight right after waking, and started using a simple wind-down ritual.
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.399
No screens, soft light, some magnesium at the same time every night.
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.759
Two weeks later, she emailed me and said, I didn't realize what rusted actually feels like.
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:31.120
That line stuck with me because how many of us don't even know what rust it feels like anymore?
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.360
When I first learned about my own genes, I had my own Maya moments.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.000
I still work nights at the hospital pharmacist while running life balance during the day.
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:43.600
So my schedule isn't exactly what most people would call balance.
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.279
For a long time, I wore that as a badge of honor.
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.279
I told myself I was built for it, driven, efficient, unstoppable.
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.840
But there was a stretch of time when I could feel my body quietly disagreeing.
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.200
I remember one morning sitting in my car after a shift, the sky just starting to brighten.
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:07.120
I had a list of errands, messages to return, business tasks awaiting, but I couldn't move.
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.559
My hands were on the steering wheel, and I just sat there, staring at nothing.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.600
My body was buzzing, but I felt hollow.
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.840
I remember whispering, am I burned out or just weak?
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.440
Later, when I saw my DNA results, everything made sense.
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:30.320
My C O M T cleanup crew, the one responsible for clearing stress hormones, was working overtime without a break.
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.080
My body wasn't weak.
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.200
It was loyal.
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.440
It was doing its best to keep me upright in a life that never powered down.
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:42.960
That realization didn't change my schedule overnight, but it changed my relationship with it.
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:53.919
Now I honor recovery as fiercely as I honor productivity, but I built in light exposure, sleep hygiene, and mental decompression as non-negotiables.
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.399
I run a very tight ship with my schedule.
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:04.720
I stopped seeing fatigue as a flaw and started seeing it as feedback, my body's way of asking for alignment.
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:09.360
If you take nothing else from this episode, take this fatigue is feedback.
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.600
It's not your body betraying you, it's your body begging you to listen.
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:19.120
When I share this with healthcare practitioners, they usually smile and say, that's what we tell our patients.
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:27.039
And I nod because yes, we know it intellectually, but knowing it and living it are two very different things.
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.519
We teach self-care, we really practice self-alignment.
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:39.279
So whether you're a clinician, an entrepreneur, a parent, or all of the above, I want you to pause and ask yourself three things.
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.799
When do you feel most alive during the day?
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.080
When do you hit that invisible wall?
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.320
And what happens right before the crash?
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.879
Write it down or at least say it out loud.
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.720
Patterns reveal themselves quickly when you start paying attention.
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.639
Let's talk about what you can do with this awareness.
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:07.759
Inside my inner glow programs, we follow something I call the DNA strategy: detox, nourish, and align.
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.799
Detox isn't about green juices or deprivation.
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:18.080
It's about clearing the mental clutter, the myths that say exhaustion is a badge of honor that slowing down means you're falling behind.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.080
Sometimes the most powerful detox is the one that happens in your mind.
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.120
Nourish is where science meets daily life.
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:32.799
If your C UMT gene clears stress slowly, magnesium, B6, and leafy greens are like fuels for that cleanup crew.
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.480
They help it finish the job.
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:40.639
If your clock gene's rhythm runs late, getting natural light early and limiting caffeine after 10 a.m.
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.559
tells your body, hey, it's morning.
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.159
Let's start fresh.
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:46.720
And then aligned, that's the magic.
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:54.480
Aligned means taking what you've learned about your genes and weaving it into your actual lifestyle, not forcing a brand new one.
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:59.600
Maybe that means moving your toughest meetings to the part of the day when you naturally feel sharpest.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:04.080
Maybe it means protecting a bedtime routine, the way you protect a business meeting.
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.600
Alignment is where science becomes self-respect.
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.759
When women, and yes, plenty of men too, start living this way.
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.919
I see a transformation that has nothing to do with supplements or lab numbers.
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.799
Their faces soften, their language changes from I'm so behind to I feel balanced.
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.799
That's what happens when biology and behavior finally agree.
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:31.600
You might be thinking, okay, but I haven't done a DNA test yet.
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:32.480
That's fine.
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.399
You can still start tuning in.
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.120
Notice how caffeine affects you.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.360
And I encourage you to really write this down so you can start noticing the patterns.
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:47.519
If you feel great at first after having caffeine and then crash or get anxious, that's your C OMT talking.
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.039
Notice when you naturally feel sleepy and when you fight it.
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.360
That's your clock waving its hand.
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:57.279
Notice how foods steady your mood and what foods make you foggy.
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.600
That's your nourish cue.
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:03.759
It's small observations like these that turn guessing into understanding.
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.679
And if you're listening as a healthcare professional, here's something to think about.
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.840
How often do your parents or your clients describe the same fatigue loop?
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:19.279
What if instead of prescribing another stimulant or lab panel right away, we started teaching them how to interpret their body's rhythm?
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.759
Precision health isn't about more data, it's about deeper connection.
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:31.360
When we bring that lens into practice, we stop treating people as broken machines and start treating them as unique systems designed with purpose.
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.519
That's why I'm so passionate about merging nutrigenomics with clinical care.
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.919
It humanizes medicine again.
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:44.240
I want to circle back to you for a moment, because if you're still listening, something about this message resonated.
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.840
Maybe you've been telling yourself you're fine, just busy.
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.720
Maybe you've been running on shared willpower.
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.600
Maybe you're the one everyone else leans on and you're secretly wondering who's holding you.
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:01.919
Take this moment as your permission slip to rest, not as withdrawal, but as recalibration.
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.759
Your body is on your side.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.240
It's been waiting for you to remember that.
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.960
When you start listening, you might find that the fatigue isn't as mysterious as it felt.
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.120
It's data, it's guidance, it's a map back to yourself.
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.919
So take a deep breath with me.
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:29.919
Right here, right now, wherever you are, maybe driving, walking, cooking dinner, let yourself feel what tired really means in your body.
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.000
Is it a heavy kind of tire that feels like fog?
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:40.000
Is it a restless tire where your mind keeps spinning even when your body's begging to stop?
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.919
That sensation isn't proof that you're broken.
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.679
It's communication.
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:54.559
Your DNA has been whispering all along at this pace, this pattern, this timing, it doesn't match the way I was designed.
00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:00.720
And once you start hearing that whisper, the goal isn't to overhaul your entire life overnight.
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.679
It's to begin a conversation with your biology.
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.000
Ask simple questions like, what was support look like for me today?
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.200
Do I need more sunlight or more silence?
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.319
Do I need stimulation or stillness?
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:20.160
You'll be surprised how clearly your body answers once you stop treating it like an opponent.
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:26.720
When I finally started listening to my body, things didn't magically get easier, but they did get clearer.
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.880
I still work night shifts, I still run life balance, my schedule is full, but it's no longer fighting me.
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.480
What changed wasn't my hours, it was my awareness.
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:46.000
Now I know when my energy needs pause, when my body needs light, when my mind needs stillness, I protect those things the way I used to protect deadlines.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:51.519
There are still nights when sleep comes in pieces, but even then my recovery feels different.
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.200
It feels intentional.
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:58.400
I wake up knowing exactly what my body needs to reset, and I give it that without guilt.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.240
That's what alignment looks like.
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.480
Not perfection, but partnership.
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.319
And I want that for you too.
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.599
You deserve to experience what true energy feels like.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:10.400
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.359
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.280
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.839
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.320
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.640
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:25.600
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:32.079
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.679
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.600
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:45.119
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:52.240
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.039
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.399
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.959
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.760
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.640
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.640
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:17.840
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.439
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:27.120
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:34.319
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.680
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:48.879
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.480
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.439
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.719
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.239
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:07.040
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:07.920
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.599
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:20.080
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:20.639
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.919
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.280
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:32.800
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.199
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.159
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.879
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.599
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:51.120
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.840
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.680
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.039
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:09.360
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.919
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.879
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.120
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:26.719
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.280
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:38.080
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.319
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:52.639
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.639
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.639
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.000
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:09.439
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.240
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.639
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.000
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.879
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.759
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:32.240
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.120
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.040
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.399
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:49.839
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:58.800
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.639
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.920
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.519
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.279
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.879
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.040
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.639
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.120
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.279
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.759
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.199
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:42.720
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.480
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.000
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.360
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.120
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.800
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.120
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:16.480
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:29.519
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:37.360
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.800
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:46.319
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.639
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.839
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:02.319
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.040
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.600
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:15.839
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.879
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:26.240
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.959
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.920
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.000
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.120
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.560
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:54.639
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:01.360
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.600
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:12.000
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:17.519
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.519
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:28.959
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.199
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:39.200
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:45.679
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.360
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:54.000
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:59.200
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.279
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.639
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.399
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:13.279
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.440
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:23.519
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.759
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.360
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.360
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.600
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.000
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.759
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:52.240
00:09:52.399 --> 00:10:00.399
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:06.240
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:15.039
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.399
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.759
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:31.120
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.360
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.000
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:43.600
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.279
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.279
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.840
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.200
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:07.120
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.559
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.600
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.840
