Episode 3570:

Chalene Johnson shares how testing revealed the toll that years of four to five hours of sleep a night had taken on her, and how she rebuilt her routines to make sleep a priority. In the second article, she takes on the fitness myth that lifting heavy weights makes women bulky, explaining why muscle builds gradually and why she sees it as a key to lower body fat. Her takeaway is that healthy habits like quality sleep and strength training are worth protecting.
