Flying should not leave you feeling sluggish for days. Yet for most people, it does. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam sits down with Dr. Patti Milligan, a functional-medicine nutritionist with over 35 years of experience who uncovered why flying quietly drains energy, immunity, digestion, and mental clarity. Her work spans clinical nutrition, high-performance executives, and decades of research into how the nervous system responds to stress and travel. Together, they talk about what actually happens to your body when you fly, why jet lag is not just about sleep or time zones, and how stress responses triggered in the body carry over into performance. William also shares a solution he personally tested during long international travel and intense schedules, and why he believes it could be a game changer for a wide range of professions. If you travel often or feel like your energy takes too long to come back after a flight, this episode will change how you think about recovery and performance.
