Client Testimonial

My client Peter said:

“What I really liked about working with you is…it’s all based on data. I check-in with my doctor every 6 months, and we have been for years. A number of things came up in your tests that we didn’t know about. One of the most important was insulin resistance.”

Show Notes

Keeping your blood sugar steady is critical to sleeping well!

If you wake up in the middle of the night, there’s a good chance it’s because your blood sugar levels aren’t healthy. This can happen even if you eat healthy and avoid sugar and carbs.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What happens when you’re on the blood sugar roller coaster.
How my client Peter’s sleep was affected by blood sugar.
The signs of low blood sugar and insulin resistance.

Client Testimonial

My client David said:

"I contacted Martha during the fall of 2020 and at that point in time sleep was a very difficult process in my life. Today I can proudly say 'The combination of changes in life events and the results from Martha’s help have truly turned my life around.' Martha’s knowledge on testing and then applying it to the proper supplements is worth its weight in Gold!"

What’s going on in your gut has an enormous effect on your health. If your gut isn’t healthy, your mood and your sleep won’t be healthy either.

Client Success

My client Teresa just slept the past 3 nights without sleep meds. Her insomnia started in July 2021, completely out of the blue. She never had sleep issues before. She had dealt with anxiety though, for a lot of her life. But then all of a sudden, she was only able to sleep 3-5 hours a night. She ended up getting on sleep meds, because she was desperate for more sleep. We ran 4 functional lab tests on Teresa, and it showed that she had copper toxicity through the roof. She also had depleted sex hormones, a parasite in her gut, high candida, liver detox issues, and high cortisol at night. Only 4 months after we started working together, she stopped the sleep medication and is now sleeping well.

Show Notes

Every single one of my clients has hormone imbalances. Some are too high, some are too low. But either way, they can’t sleep and their hormones are a big part of the problem.

In this episode I talk about:

the different ways that hormones affect sleep
why sex hormones get depleted and sabotage your sleep

14: Your liver could be sabotaging your sleep

Client Testimonial

My client Jesse said:

“On a macro level, my sleep has improved. It’s not perfect. It’s not where I ultimately want it to be, but it is certainly light years ahead of where it was several months ago. I now wake up in the middle of the night occasionally, rather than frequently. I sometimes wake up earlier than I would like to, so I don’t always feel super refreshed, but it’s significantly better than it used to be. There’s less of just dragging through the day. That’s given me reason to be optimistic that I can continue to improve, because so far I’ve seen an upward trajectory.”

Show Notes

Your liver could be causing your insomnia.

Many of my clients have an unhealthy liver and it’s keeping them awake at night.

That’s because the liver is most active between 1 and 3am. If it has more toxins than it can handle then those toxins circulate around causing lots of inflammation. Your body releases cortisol to deal with the inflammation which wakes you right up!

Client Testimonial

My client Jim said:

“Before working with you I was waking up for 2-3 hours during the night. I also had an upset stomach and my energy level was good but not as good as it was in the past.

My sleep has improved overall. I’m still waking up during the night but I go back to sleep faster. I do feel I get a deeper sleep and I feel more rested, a noticeable improvement in comparison prior to working with you. Also, my stomach feels better and my energy level is much better. Anxiety over the simplest things have diminished greatly. Now I can better identify and handle stressful situations.

I liked that you're very good at listening to any symptoms that I was experiencing and compassionate about those symptoms. You're knowledgeable on the tests and on the many products that are available to relieve/resolve a person's issues.

It's been good working with you!”

17: How heavy metals ruin sleep

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 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.
