Episode Notes

In Part 2 of my conversation with Carlijn Krigjer, we shift from the struggle to the solutions. Carlijn picks up where we left off and walks me through how she completely turned her health around—by tuning into her body, aligning with natural rhythms, and questioning a lot of what we’re told about “healthy living.”

We get into everything from sunlight and circadian health to diet, water quality, and gut health—and she doesn’t hold back on challenging conventional wisdom. Whether it’s wearable tech, probiotics, or even how we drink water, this episode is all about rethinking what it really means to be healthy and finding what actually works for you.
