In this episode of the Awakening Spaces Podcast, Ashley and Amanda talk about how your morning light routine is either setting up or sabotaging your cortisol and melatonin all day long, why eating outside actually improves the way you metabolize carbohydrates, what a realistic two-meal-a-day approach looks like, and why community might be the most underrated health intervention of all.

They also get into EMFs, Faraday bags (and why Ashley has measured enough of them to have strong opinions), how negative self-talk creates a cascade that impacts everything from sleep to social life, and why the whole point of optimizing your health is to actually enjoy your life, not opt out of it.

If you have ever felt like health has become another stressor rather than a source of energy and joy, this episode is for you.

Amanda Carneiro is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner, and Certified Personal Trainer who helps women lose fat, heal their gut, and balance their hormones so they can feel confident in their bodies and stop struggling for good. Her path into functional nutrition started in Los Angeles, where a personal training career slowly evolved into a deep passion for whole-body health after navigating her own health crisis involving SIBO, Candida, thyroid dysfunction, and years of disordered eating. She has tried all the diets. She knows what it feels like to want to throw in the towel, and she built her entire practice on what actually works on the other side of that.

Today Amanda works with women through one-on-one coaching, self-guided fat loss and gut health courses, and her Protein Bakes recipe guide. She is also the founder of Solea, a high protein pancake and waffle mix launching soon. Find her at rawfitnessandnutrition.com and on Instagram at @rawfitnessandnutrition.
