Why You're Waking At 3 AM & What To Do About It

In this episode of Well, Dr. Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney dive into the health headlines, from the truth about flavanols to the reality of IUD insertion pain and the viral ear-seeding trend.

They unpack why so many of us join the "3 AM Club". Learn actionable sleep-hygiene strategies to break the middle-of-the-night waking cycle without reaching for your phone.

And, they tackle listener health questions. Dr Ginni breaks down what actually causes late-afternoon belly bloating and explains why sudden rogue chin hairs might point to hormonal shifts like PCOS or perimenopause.
