NBS #118: The Lifestyle Habits Your Body Needs to Detox and Recover

Send a text

In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Ariana Hakman, founder of LunaFit, to talk about sustainable health, fitness, and the daily habits that support real long-term wellness.

Ariana shares how becoming a new mom inspired her to leave corporate life and build a wellness company focused on helping real people get real results. Today LunaFit includes a gym, meal prep service, supplements, and a fitness app designed around five pillars of health: sleep, steps, hydration, nutrition, and fitness.

Throughout the conversation, Michael and Ariana discuss why modern nutrition advice can feel so confusing, why extreme diets often fail, and why balanced, sustainable habits are key to improving overall health.
The episode also explores an often overlooked factor in health and recovery: environmental exposure. Ariana shares her personal experience discovering mold in her home HVAC system and the unexpected ways it affected her sleep, breathing, and overall well-being.

Michael explains how indoor air quality, sleep quality, hydration, and movement all play important roles in the body’s ability to recover, detox, and perform at its best.

If you're trying to improve your health but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this conversation offers a practical perspective on building habits that actually last.
