In this episode of The Real Health Podcast, we continue our discussion from last week and discover the real science behind melatonin, insomnia, and bone health in this deep-dive episode. We break down the headlines claiming melatonin increases heart failure risk, explain why the data is misleading, and explore what actually causes sleep issues. You'll also learn how melatonin affects aging, mitochondrial function, gut health, and bone density... plus the surprising exercises and lifestyle habits that strengthen bones as you age. If you care about sleep, hormones, osteoporosis prevention, or longevity, this episode is a must-listen.

We dive into:
• The truth behind the recent melatonin + heart failure headlines
• Why the study's data is misleading and not proof of cause and effect
• How insomnia, not melatonin, may be the real health risk
• What melatonin actually does: anti-aging, gut health, mitochondrial support
• Why melatonin often doesn't fix sleep and how to prepare your body correctly
