Listen "Food First, Sleep Better: Stop Guessing and Change Your Chemistry with Beverly Meyer"

Episode Synopsis

On this episode of Healing Horizons, we get practical about reclaiming health without chasing trends. Clinical nutrition pioneer Beverly Meyer (host of Primal Diet – Modern Health) lays out a simple path: start with food and sleep, measure what changes, and only then consider supplements or advanced protocols. We discuss why “quick tips” don’t create lasting results, how to read your own feedback loop, and what it really means to “change your chemistry” so your body can do what it already knows how to do. Direct, evidence-minded, no fluff—just steps you can act on today.
About the guest  :
Beverly Meyer is a long-time clinician and host of the podcast Primal Diet – Modern Health. Drawing from decades of lived experience and client work, she helps people improve energy, sleep, digestion, and resilience by rebuilding foundations first—protein-rich meals, quality fats, cooked vegetables, and real rest—before reaching for pills or protocols.
Key takeaways:


Foundations first: consistent, hearty meals and real sleep change overall chemistry faster than any “hack.”


“Food first” means protein, fats, and cooked vegetables; use supplements as additions, not substitutes.


Track reality, not ideals: a 7-day food + sleep diary reveals what’s helping or hurting.


Sleep is non-negotiable; short-term targeted support can help you stabilize while you fix habits.


Ditch “click tips”: rely on medically reviewed sources and qualified professionals, not viral trends.


Intermittent fasting became popular from data on young male athletes; it may not suit tired, unwell adults—especially many women.


If you feel chronically fatigued, stop overspending energy (e.g., high-mileage running) until your baseline improves.


Personalized intake forms help spot red flags (e.g., long-standing dental work or patterns that don’t match symptoms).


Progress proof: many clients report early wins (less bloating, fewer headaches, steadier mood) within weeks when they truly eat and sleep.


Mindset matters: courage and hope, plus disciplined inputs, create the feedback loop that keeps you improving.
