201: The Circadian Roundtable: Sleep, Light & Glucose with Danielle Hamilton & Kristin Weitzel

In this episode, I’m joined by two of my favorite humans: blood sugar expert Danielle Hamilton (Light Up Your Metabolism) and wellness powerhouse Kristin Weitzel (WELLPOWER). Together, we dig into the interconnected web of circadian rhythm, glucose regulation, stress, light, and sleep—and how these systems are either working for you or against you every single day. We also share the tools we’re loving (shout out to UBLOCKOUT - code: sleepisaskill — my ride-or-die blackout shade!), the low-hanging fruit that can make a big difference in your sleep, and the mindset shifts that help you actually stick to these habits—even when your partner thinks your red lights are a little... intense. Danielle "Dani" Hamilton is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and leading blood sugar expert known for her circadian and quantum approach to metabolic health. After reversing her own struggles with PCOS, hypoglycemia, and weight loss resistance, she’s helped hundreds heal insulin resistance and blood sugar issues. When some clients weren’t getting results despite “doing everything right,” Dani dug deeper—discovering the powerful role of light, water, and magnetism in healing. She’s now on a mission to help people return to nature to optimize energy, metabolism, and overall health. Dani is the creator of the Blood Sugar Mastery program and host of the top 50 nutrition podcast Light Up Your Metabolism. Kristin Weitzel is a health and high-performance expert, breathwork and cold exposure leader, and founder of the SHERPA Breath & Cold Instructor Training program—certifying 175+ coaches across North America and the Caribbean. She’s also the host of the WELLPOWER Podcast, where she blends biohacking, wellness, and practical tools to help others unlock their full potential. Known for her wit, wisdom, and passion for women's health, Kristin empowers clients and audiences to push the limits of vitality and performance.
