Client Testimonial

My client Maura said:

“I love just having a plan. It wasn’t just ‘here’s your prescription and that’s all I got for you.’ Instead, it was ‘ok, we’re going to work together for this amount of time’ and slowly we added supplements. And once those were done working, we slowly took them away. And just having the support as well. If I needed to email you, you answered right away. Finally having someone in my court made me feel like I wasn’t in this alone. It was very helpful to know I had a team. I weaned off meds after 2 months. I was able to come off. I’m now sleeping 7-8 hours a night on average, and I’m feeling a lot better.”

Show Notes

Mold toxicity is an overlooked and common cause of sleep issues. You could be living in mold and not even know it because it isn't always visible. Or you could have been exposed to mold in the past and your body hasn’t been able to detoxify it properly.

It’s estimated that 75% of homes have water damage. And 25% of the population has a gene that puts them at risk for developing CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) when they’re exposed to mold. This syndrome causes many symptoms in many different systems in the body.

I have 6 clients with mold toxicity and whose sleep is getting better as we deal with it!

In this podcast episode, I’m talking all about mold:

How mold affects sleep
What CIRS is and the symptoms
The 4 steps for dealing with mold
How to deal with mold in your body and in your environment

While mold can cause many symptoms and severe sickness, it’s relatively simple to deal with once you know it’s there. If you can’t sleep and you have other weird symptoms, mold could be the culprit. And I can help you with this so you feel better and can sleep normally!

We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

160. How heavy metals ruin sleep

Episode 160

Wednesday, September 18, 2024 • Duration 10:22

In this podcast series, you’ll learn what causes poor sleep and how to “cure” your insomnia so you can sleep better permanently and naturally.

Resources

-Download the checklist to find out what could be causing your sleep issues

-Use code SLEEP20 to get $20 off the Sleep Essentials course

-Sign up for the Insomnia Insight program to find out exactly what's causing your insomnia and get a plan to fix it within 30 days.

Client Testimonial

My client Todd said:

“I am happy to report my 4th consecutive night of only getting up once. Yay.”

Show Notes

Heavy metals could be causing your sleep problems.

I’ve seen this recently in many of my clients. They have high levels of mercury, aluminum, copper, lead and arsenic as well as others.

In this episode, you’ll find out:

What heavy metals are and how they get into our bodies
How heavy metals affect the body and your sleep
How to test for heavy metals
Why it’s important not to overlook heavy metals if you can’t sleep

If you've done other testing and haven’t solved your sleep problem, this could be the missing test. You can address gut health, hormone balance and everything else, but if you also have heavy metal toxicity then you won’t get better.

Client Testimonial

My client Emily said:

"Right from the start your program helped me to sleep. When I contacted you I had been going 5-7 days without sleeping and my entire body was failing because of it. There seemed to be no hope, no prescription, no "cure". I am constantly referring to others to the immediate success I had working with you and how the lab tests legitimately found the imbalances in my body which were causing my sleep issues so I was able to keep improving. I am just so grateful to have started your program and will be able to use what I learned as a stepping stone to continue to keep up my health."

Show Notes

If you aren’t sleeping, you have inflammation.

In this episode you'll find out how inflammation destroys your sleep and the 3 main sources of inflammation.

We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

68: Better sleep at any age (Peter’s story)

Friday, December 16, 2022 • Duration 20:42

My client Peter is an amazing example of someone who loves science and will use the data to do whatever it takes to get healthy. He had been sleeping poorly for years and was taking sleeping pills at night and a stimulant in the morning to feel alert.

In this episode, Peter and I talk about what was key for him in getting better sleep and why it’s so important to him.

Within a few months, he was sleeping better. He started exercising again. Now, he's sleeping well and not having to eat in the middle of the night anymore to go back to sleep. He's lost 30 pounds without trying. Most importantly for him, his brain is functioning better and he feels clear headed. Now he can focus on his life mission which is helping people understand the science of what's really causing climate change.

Peter shows that you don't have to accept poor sleep at any age and that when you're determined to get better, you get better!

64: The truth about how the menstrual cycle affects sleep and how to balance hormones naturally

Wednesday, November 16, 2022 • Duration 13:14

Women are more likely than men to experience insomnia and daytime sleepiness.

As our hormones change throughout the month, they affect our sleep in many different ways.

(Men can have hormone imbalances that affect their sleep, too. I talk more about different hormone imbalances (including cortisol and testosterone) in episode 33. But as women, we’re uniquely affected by the fluctuations of hormones during our cycles.)

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How estrogen and progesterone affect sleep
Why testing for hormones is so important
What causes hormone imbalance
How to balance hormones naturally with supplements and food

I talk about seed cycling and the company Agni makes tasty seed cycling boxes to make it easy.

The way to balance hormones long-term is to correct the other imbalances in your body and reduce stress and inflammation. This is exactly what we can help you with.

We run 4 functional medicine tests to find what’s causing stress and inflammation in your body. And we help you handle mental stress better and stop worrying about sleep so that your mind doesn’t sabotage your sleep.

63: Why guessing at supplements can make your sleep worse

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 • Duration 09:37

If you're like I was when I couldn't sleep, you're probably taking all kinds of supplements to see if they will help. The problem with doing this is there are imbalances in your body that are causing your insomnia and taking supplements could make them even worse.

In this episode, I talk about melatonin, magnesium, probiotics and more and when these supplements can add to the imbalances that are already affecting your sleep.

You can stop wasting time guessing what will help you get better. (I’m sure you want to sleep better as quickly as possible, not a few years from now!)

You can stop wasting money on supplements that at best aren’t helping and at worst are causing more imbalance.

The Complete Sleep Solution is the fastest and most direct way to naturally improve your sleep.

If you're ready to stop guessing and test so you know exactly what your body needs, we can help.
