That’s fascinating. I never really appreciated the iron-distrupting effects of tea. I was terribly anaemic in my forties and couldn’t figure out what was causing my lethargy. I wonder whether John’s sleep - which sounds like your pre-epiphany sleep - might benefit from reading it. Thank you so much for sharing this ✨

This resonates a lot. It’s wild how something as simple as tea timing can have such a big impact.

I relate to that feeling of not knowing what’s causing the lethargy. I also thought I understood my body well, but iron wasn’t intuitive at all. Or that tea could block absorption, and vitamin C could help it.

If John’s sleep is similar, it might be a simple lever worth exploring. Happy to chat with him if helpful.

Thanks Phoebe!

I loved this article. It’s very interesting how something so small can have such a big impact on well-being and rest. Sometimes we take it for granted that “being within the range” is enough, but here it becomes clear that there are important nuances.

It reached me in a special way, because it feels very conscious.

When something is shared from one’s own experience and with that clarity, it also helps others in a deep way.

I love reading you and seeing how, through your own experience, you know how to listen to your body and bring light to things that often go unnoticed. Thank you for sharing something so useful, so true, and so practical.

Thank you for your teachings, because through you I learn.

Thank you, this means a lot to me.

I think that’s exactly it, we assume “within range” is enough, but our bodies seem to live in the nuances. That’s where things really shift.

Today’s medicine often focuses on avoiding illness, so “within range” is considered enough. But optimal health is much more individual than that.

I’m still learning how to listen, and honestly this was not intuitive to me at all. But once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Really grateful this resonated with you somehow.
