Most people think jet lag is just about time zones. What if the real problem is inflammation?

In this episode of Get Yourself Optimized, I sat down with Andrew Herr, founder and CEO of FlyKitt, a former human performance strategist for the U.S. military, and twice named a Mad Scientist by the U.S. Army, and he completely reframes how you think about travel, recovery, and peak performance.

"When your body runs cleaner, when it's being more efficient, when it's not inflamed, you can just catch the signal better."

Andrew doesn't just help road warriors arrive feeling sharp. He goes deep on the physiology of sleep, the underrated power of polyphenols, the psychological tools that break self-sabotage, and the surprising spiritual dimension of optimizing your health.

In this episode, we cover:

🔥 Why inflammation, not just circadian rhythm, is the real driver of jet lag

💤 Blue light, sleep supplements (glycine, 5-HTP, melatonin), and the pre-bed shower hack

💪 The 10x10 kettlebell swing workout you can do in under 10 minutes

🧠 The Downward Arrow tool and exposure therapy for breaking through self-sabotage

✨ How a cleaner, less inflamed body becomes a clearer vessel for guidance and purpose

If you travel frequently, run on insufficient sleep, or feel like you're not performing at your best, this episode is packed with practical tools you can use today.
