03/03/25 • 46 min

What’s REALLY happening to your brain when you sleep?
What if I told you that your brain goes through a powerful detox every night — but only if you’re getting the right kind of sleep? 🧠💤
In this eye-opening episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I uncover the shocking truth about how sleep impacts your brain health. From clearing out toxins to boosting memory, focus, and emotional balance — sleep does far more than just recharge your energy. And skipping out on it? That could lead to long-term damage, including cognitive decline and increased risk of neurological diseases.
Why is sleep the ultimate brain hack — and what happens when you don’t get enough? Stick around as I break down the science and reveal how you can use quality sleep to unlock sharper thinking, better mood, and long-term wellness.

Hot Health Topic: Could These “Healthy” Supplements Be Damaging Your Liver

Could the very supplements you trust to keep you healthy be quietly destroying your liver?
Did you know? Most Americans take daily multivitamins or pop turmeric capsules, believing they’re making smart choices. With depleted soils and nutrient-deficient foods, supplementation feels essential — but what if those “healthy” pills are wreaking havoc on your body?
A 2022 study in the journal Liver Transplantation reported an increase in liver issues linked to certain herbal and dietary supplements, with cases rising significantly from 1995 to 2020. Additionally, research published in Hepatology highlights that supplements contribute to around 20% of liver-related health concerns nationwide.
In this hot health topic episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I cover the supplements that may be linked to liver health concerns, how to evaluate the quality and safety of supplements, steps to safeguard your liver while maintaining optimal health, and key insights from the latest research on dietary supplements.
