The Power of Great Sleep: Change Your Routine, Change Your Life (Featuring The Sleep Doctor)
Is beauty sleep real? How long should you really be sleeping? Plus a warning about melatonin. We're answering all of your most-asked sleep questions today on the show with The Sleep Doctor himself. Dr. Michael Breus is a Clinical Psychologist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, and a Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. He specializes in sleep disorders and is one of the only psychologists in the world with his credentials and distinction. Dr. Breus has authored a number of books, tours the world lecturing on sleep, has appeared on CNN, Oprah, and The View, and is also on the clinical advisory board of The Dr. Oz Show. Dr. Breus has a private practice in LA where he helps his clients figure out how to sleep better, which is his main mission in life. We met Dr. Breus at an event for the launch of Mighty Night, a new supplement from HUM Nutrition that encourages more restful sleep and promotes healthier-looking skin. The event was the most engaged we'd ever seen an audience; he had a line out the door after his presentation. Clearly, getting good sleep is something people desperately want to know more about. We wanted him on the show to bring this information to you. Learn more about your Sleep Chronotype at ChronoQuiz.com. (For the record, Kirbie is a bear 🐻and Sara is a dolphin 🐬. Go figure.)

How Wine Inspired a Cult-Favorite Serum With April Gargiulo From Vintner's Daughter
April Gargiulo is the founder of Vintner’s Daughter, the cult-favorite brand beloved by skincare fanatics, from celebrities and beauty editors to clean beauty devotees and face oil enthusiasts. When April became pregnant with her first daughter, she tried to find a skincare product she could use that was free from chemicals and murky ingredients — she couldn’t find any. April had spent years working in her family’s wine business, learning the importance of quality formulation and ingredient sourcing, so using the same practices she learned on the vineyards, April decided to take a stab at creating her own beauty solution. The result? The Active Botanical serum, a holy grail skincare product made with whole botanicals and packed with nutrients that could replace your entire skincare routine while delivering dramatic results. Since then, she’s also created the Active Treatment Essence, which has also garnered a massive fanbase.

5 Ingredients We Typically Avoid in Skin Care Products
Our job is to try everything at least once, but that doesn't mean we don't pump the breaks when it comes to certain ingredients. We've learned over time what our skin can withstand, and we notice patterns when it comes to how our skin reacts to specific ingredients. Is it the ingredient itself, or how it's formulated? Consider this episode your roadmap — by no means are we saying all products with these ingredients are bad, but if you find your skin is breaking out, overly sensitive or has developed an adverse reaction to a certain product, this can help you narrow down a possible culprit.---Thank you to our presenting sponsor, HUM Nutrition!Glow Sweet Glow ($25)What's on Your Face?
