The Insomnia Fix: How To Sleep Better: Recent Episodes

Martha Lewis

Sleep consultant and functional health coach Martha Lewis gets into the science of why you can't sleep in both your body and your mind and how to improve your health so you can sleep naturally. If you've tried everything and you still can't sleep, this podcast is for you.

You know what's really frustrating? You're doing everything right—no caffeine after 2pm, perfect sleep hygiene, you’ve tried all the supps—but you're still wide awake at 3am.

The reason nothing has worked is because no one is looking for the hidden imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake.

In this episode, I'm going to tell you the 5 most common underlying health issues I've seen after working with over 300 clients even though your blood work is normal and your doctor says you're fine.

Stop me if this sounds familiar: It's 3AM, your eyes snap open, your mind starts racing, and you're wide awake for the next hour or two, watching the clock tick by.

This isn't about counting sheep or buying blackout curtains. This is about detective work - finding the real clues your body is giving you and solving the mystery of your 3AM wake-ups once and for all.

After 11 years of chronic insomnia, taking sleeping pills every night, and being told by doctors "some people just can't sleep," Mark was ready to give up hope. He'd tried everything - CBT, sleep studies, specialists, perfect sleep hygiene - yet he still couldn't sleep through the night.

There is 1 common cause of sleep issues that is often overlooked and completely explains why you’re sleeping restlessly and waking up all night long and also have other symptoms such as frequent urination, muscle and joint pain, sinus congestion, gut issues and more.

I’m talking about mold toxicity.

In this episode, I talk to Meryl who has had sleep issues for as long as she can remember. She falls asleep at 8 p.m. because she's so exhausted but she wakes up off and on throughout the night and is totally awake by 4am.

She's done multiple functional labs and yet they didn’t uncover what I found in the simple assessment she filled out for the call. She wasn't aware that this one major factor could be causing all of her symptoms!

She already had looked into what was causing her sleep issues but at least one crucial piece of the puzzle has been missing until now!

If you're only sleeping 5-7 hours a night, your body has likely been out of balance for years - even if you consider yourself healthy. The truth is, getting less than 7 hours of sleep isn't just 'your normal' - it's a sign that something fundamental is wrong with your body's systems.

Are you tired of spending thousands on supplements, therapists, and functional medicine doctors, only to still wake up in the middle of the night regardless of how clean your diet is?

Imagine what it would feel like to sleep a full 8 hours every night without waking up. To have the energy, focus, and vitality that comes from truly restorative sleep - not just 'getting by' on 5 or 6 hours.

Today, you’ll discover why you're only sleeping 5-7 hours a night and the hidden imbalances keeping you from restful sleep. I'm also sharing Wes's journey - a client who spent thousands of dollars and many months trying everything to fix his sleep before working with me. By the end of this episode, you'll understand the surprising missing piece that was affecting the quality of his sleep and that transformed his sleep after years of disruption - even though he was fit, ate well, and never suspected this was his issue. This could be the missing piece you've been searching for too.

Both seasonal allergies and insomnia are signs that your body isn’t totally healthy, even if you eat well and exercise and care about your health.

Your body should be able to deal with pollen, grasses, etc. without causing any symptoms.

And your body should be able to sleep at least 7 hours a night.

In this episode, I’m going to explain what underlying health issues lead to seasonal allergies and sleep issues. And I’ll tell you some supplements that have helped me so I don’t have to take medication during allergy season.

Maggie has had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep off and on for the past 13 years. She’s tried all the things: CDB, melatonin, no screens, dark room, increasing protein, and even went through the torture of sleep restriction which made her get even less sleep.

In this sleep breakthrough session, I go beyond the basic sleep hygiene and tips since she’s already done all of those and get into how the things she’s doing to be healthy such as exercise and diet could actually be negatively affecting her sleep.

If you want to sleep well again, this is the first thing you can start doing today to improve your sleep and it’s the first thing I work on with most of my clients.

When we think of hormone imbalances, we usually think of women being crazy before their period or as they’re going through menopause. However, men’s hormones get out of balance, too, and it’s one of the main causes of not sleeping well.

So for all the men out there, this is for you!

In this episode I’m going to explain the hormone imbalances that affect men and how to fix them so you can stop waking up at 3am. And I’ll tell you about my client John who was a big social drinker and how that affected his hormones and his sleep and how he was able to fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night in just a few months.

Have you tried HRT and adrenal support and it hasn’t helped? You’re meditating in the morning and you have the perfect relaxing routine before bed but you still wake up multiple times a night?

In this episode I talk to Zenia who has tried all of these things and nothing has really helped.

I explain why what she’s tried so far hasn’t worked and what imbalances in her body that are affecting her sleep have likely been missed so far. Addressing these imbalances will also help with ADHD and anxiety so she won’t have to take strong drugs to bandaid her symptoms. We talked about accepting in the moment when you can’t sleep but also not giving up on solving sleep issues because you don’t have to live with poor sleep even if you’re in perimenopause and have ADHD and adrenal issues (or HPA axis issues).

My client Maura came to me when she was struggling to fall asleep and would go days without sleeping if she wasn’t taking a sleeping pill.

She was taking Trazodone and Lexapro to sleep and feel calm.

She was a mom to 2 young children and she had to take a leave from teaching because she wasn’t sleeping.

Her goal was to sleep 7 hours a night, get off meds, and not feel anxious about sleep. By the end of our time working together, she achieved all of these goals!

"In 2 months I weaned off Trazodone. On average I’m sleeping 7-8 hours a night and feeling a lot better.”

Her test results showed:

Depleted sex hormones
Liver dysfunction
Mold toxicity (from the school where she worked!)
Mineral imbalances
H. pylori
Dysbiosis (imbalance of good to bad gut bacteria)
Gluten sensitivity

All of these imbalances were affecting her sleep!

I recommended supplements and diet changes which she immediately embraced.

We also worked on stress about sleep and so her anxiety about sleep improved pretty quickly.

She even slept well when she traveled to Ireland. She emailed me after her trip: “I returned from my trip to Ireland yesterday. I was so nervous about sleeping in various hotels in a different time zone. I did great and slept really well. Each night I slept between 7-8 hours. My anxiety about sleep is so much better."

Maura was 100% committed to the process and because of that, she had great success!

“I loved having a plan, knowing we're going to work together, slowly add supplements, then slowly take them away. I appreciated having support and being able to email you. Having someone in my court. I wasn't in this alone. And it doesn't take the whole time (6 months)."

By the end of our time working together, Maura was back to work teaching when the school year started!

You can listen to her story on the podcast.

Maura loved the step-by-step, simple plan I gave her in the Complete Sleep Solution program because then she knew exactly what to do to get better.

She was relieved that all she had to do was follow her protocol, without questioning if it was right for her.

She stopped googling about how to sleep better and trying random supplements and gadgets because she had a plan customized for her life and body.

If Maura can get better, you can, too!

Schedule a free consultation on Zoom to get started so you can consistently sleep 7+ hours a night without drugs!

I'll tell you exactly why everything you've tried so far hasn't worked (even though you're doing everything you can to sleep well) and how the Complete Sleep Solution program will find and fix all the root causes of your sleep and health issues once and for all.

I start here with all of my clients, even though we’re doing lab testing, and 100% of them need to address at least 1 of these essentials. These things are so important because they will continue to affect your sleep and keep your body out of balance.

In this episode, I’m going to explain 3 unconventional first steps that you can start doing today to improve your sleep. This is an episode from a year ago that I want to share with you again because it can help you sleep better immediately.

If you can’t sleep, your gut isn’t healthy. Even if you take a probiotic and eat well and don’t have any digestive symptoms.

Almost all of my clients have something going on in their gut that is affecting their sleep. For some people it’s 90% of the cause and for others it’s much less, but it’s one of the pieces of the puzzle for everyone.

In this episode I’m going to tell you about my client David who had gut and sleep issues for a long time even though he was a health nut and did a lot of meditation.

I’m going to tell you what his test results showed were causing his sleep issues besides just his gut and what he did to correct the imbalances in his body so he was able to stop taking sleep medication within 2 months of starting the program!

how we can get addicted to exercise
what happens when you get to the point where you can’t tolerate exercise
how to exercise to support sleep instead of sabotaging it

In case you love your workouts and this is triggering you, I want to add that this isn’t forever so keep listening. Once you’re sleeping well again, you can get back to harder training.

If you love exercise and want to be fit and are trying to exhaust yourself with exercise but you aren’t sleeping well, this episode is for you.

Exercise is just one small factor that affects sleep. If you want to take the first steps to get your body back in balance so you can sleep well without diving into the lab testing, you want my Sleep Essentials course.

Lower inflammation to fall asleep fast by finding the perfect diet for your body
Stop the 3am wake-ups by balancing your blood sugar

You want to feel your best and optimize your health and fix an immediate problem quickly, so you’re taking all these supplements to try to solve the problem. Or you’ve been to a few different practitioners who all recommended different things so you’re taking everything.

If you're taking a supplement for every issue (energy, sleep, focus, weight loss, relaxation, digestion, etc.), the reason they aren't working is because your body is out of balance, even though you're doing everything you can to be healthy!

In this episode, you'll learn what you need to do instead to sleep well, have energy, think clearly, etc. so you can waste less money and only need a few maintenance supplements to stay in balance.
Schedule a consultation to get started with the Complete Sleep Solution program so you can consistently sleep 7+ hours uninterrupted, naturally and permanently.

If you want to sleep well consistently, you need to change your thoughts about sleep. It’s not just about fixing the imbalances in your body. If you’re worried about sleep and thinking it’s not fair and asking yourself what’s wrong with you, your mind is also going to sabotage your sleep.

In this episode I give you a tool that I give all of my clients. It involves 3 simple steps to change your thoughts to change your sleep. And I’ll explain why your brain likes to focus on the negative and the surprising fact that you’re probably getting more sleep than you think you are.

This is a replay of one of my first episodes but it’s so valuable and it’s made such a big difference for so many of my clients that I wanted to share it with you again.

Sunil started waking up in the middle of the night about 6 months ago and it doesn’t make sense because he eats healthy, he exercises, he doesn’t have a lot of stress, and he’s doing so many things to take care of himself.

In this Sleep Breakthrough call, Sunil and I talk about his health and sleep and what could be causing him to wake up for 2 hours in the night. I gave him one tip to help him fall back asleep faster. And I recommended a surprise change to his exercise plan. And I told him the 3 most likely reasons for his wake ups and he’s going to look into one of them to start.

If you’re going through a stressful time, such as you’re in the middle of a divorce, moving, or recently lost a loved one, you may think that now isn’t the right time to focus on your sleep and health, that there’s nothing you can do until you’re past this tough time. But what if now is actually the perfect time?

In this episode, I'm going to tell you about how my client Jaipal was able to fix his sleep, lose 15 pounds without trying, and get healthy again even though he had just gone through a hard divorce and was still dealing with the emotional impact of it and even though he had been struggling with sleep for 20 years, since college.

In this episode I’m going to explain why what you’ve tried so far hasn’t worked and share 5 unconventional sleep tips that you haven’t heard anywhere else.

You’ll learn:

what really causes sleep issues (it’s not because you’re watching Netflix before bed or your bedtime routine isn’t long enough)

why melatonin, magnesium, CBD, etc. aren’t solving the problem (and what will)

There’s so much conflicting information about nutrition and diets that it’s hard to figure out what’s right. Should you eat plant or animal based? Keto? Low fat? Low carb? The truth is, eating healthy is different from eating what’s right for YOUR body.

In this episode, I’m going to tell you how to figure out what diet is best for you and the amount of fat, protein and carbs YOUR body needs, which will affect your weight loss, energy, hormones and sleep.

You’ll learn:

a simple approach to diet and nutrition that isn't confusing and doesn’t involve counting calories or carbs
How what you eat affects your energy, mood and sleep
How to find your ideal balance of macronutrients (fat, protein and carbs)
Why low carb and keto diets may be sabotaging your sleep
How finding your ideal will help you have more energy, get to your ideal weight, improve your mood, reduce bloating and get more deep sleep.

If you’re ready to forget about all the confusing and conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there and find the right diet for your body, this episode is for you.

I apologize, the masterclass is not happening in February. It will be happening this year though so stay tuned!

Heard about the MTHFR gene or know that you have it? With all the info out there, it’s really confusing to know what you should do if you have it. And the truth is, it could be a reason why you’re having a hard time getting good sleep, even if you’re taking methylated B vitamins like you’ve heard about.

In today’s episode, I’m going to briefly explain:

the MTHFR gene and methylation
how the mutation could be affecting your sleep, mood and health
what to do if you have it so you don’t waste money on supplements you don’t need

Knowing this will eliminate a lot of confusion you have about the gene and also help you understand why you have sleep and other health issues.

If you're ready to understand how methylation and the MTHFR gene are causing your sleep issues and how to fix them, this episode is for you.

In the Complete Sleep Solution program, I screen for the MTHFR gene in the intake questionnaire as soon as you sign up. If the gene is acting up, I’ll recommend a plan to address it right away so we don’t have to wait for your test results to come back.

Do you have trouble falling asleep or you wake up at 3am most nights? And you’ve tried what seems like everything?

What if you could consistently sleep 7-9 hours a night without waking up instead? What if you could get the sleep you need and wake up feeling rested with energy, without drugs or a ton of supplements?

I’m Martha Lewis and I’m a certified sleep expert and functional health coach, and I struggled to sleep for 2 years before I finally figured out why. Now I sleep well and wake up refreshed, and my goal is to help you do the same.

You see, what I've learned is that there are imbalances in your body that affect sleep and that functional lab testing will show those imbalances even if your blood work is normal. After I addressed the underlying health issues and fixed my sleep and have helped over 200 clients do the same over the past 5 years, I’ve made it my mission to help you get restful sleep too.

On this podcast, every week I’ll be sharing reasons why you can’t sleep, how to improve your sleep and inspirational client success stories. By tuning in, you’ll learn what’s really affecting your sleep and how to fix it so that ultimately you can get the quality sleep you need to have energy, optimize your health, and live the life you want to live.

Most episodes are going to be solo episodes where I give practical tips to improve your sleep right away, dispel myths you’ve heard about sleep, or teach you a specific lesson. Other times, I’m going to feature guests who have other tools that can help with sleep. And you’ll meet my amazing clients who have also permanently fixed their sleep so they can share with you exactly how they did it.

So if you’re not getting the quality or amount of sleep you want and you’re looking to improve your sleep and health, go ahead and subscribe to the Sleep Detective podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Pretty soon you’ll be well on your way to understanding what’s keeping you awake at night so you can consistently sleep 7+hours like a baby.

Are you waking up at 2 or 3am and it’s affecting your health and fitness? You’re fatigued and your cramps while running have gotten worse? This was happening to my client Paul before he started working with us.

In today’s episode Paul tells his story about working with the Sleep Detective:

how he was sleeping and feeling before,
what he had tried that didn’t work,
what his test results showed,
how the program helped him sleep better in only a couple of months,
and how he feels amazing now and just had a personal best time for a half marathon.

If you’re ready to hear about how Paul was finally able to overcome his sleep issues and be inspired that you can do it too, this episode is for you.

My client John said:

“You are a genius, and a true lifesaver!...I have been sleeping since Sunday. I wake up, but I am still groggy and I fall back to sleep. Not perfect, but way better than I have been used to. It's night and day. I know I might still have some challenges with some of the other results, but these last days were paradise! I have been running a marathon with a ball and chain on my leg, and for this week it's free! Just wanted to update you! Thank you, I have full faith I will be sleeping effortlessly and normally.

I have tried so many things over the last 25 years, I have so many tools that didn't work. I have seen maybe 8-10 professionals. If it were the "placebo" I would have thought myself better with one of those certainly.

I am filled with so much gratitude and appreciation for you and what you have uncovered to help me. I look forward to following the full program as I still need to fine tune and eliminate any other obstacles from a good night! All this in 1 30 minute phone call and some questionnaires!”

A healthy body sleeps well. If you have trouble sleeping, it’s a sign that your body isn’t healthy. Even if you feel healthy. Even if you live a healthy lifestyle.

If you can’t sleep normally, there are things going on in your body and your mind that are keeping you awake at night.

I work with clients who have tried many different things to help them sleep: melatonin, magnesium, CBD, herbs, sleeping pills, Tylenol PM, sleep trackers, a new mattress, essential oils, a cooling pad, etc. and nothing really worked.

My client Andrey said:

“I’m not 100% percent with everything, but I couldn’t imagine that I was going to feel like this. Honestly. Before your program, my cortisol was elevated when it wasn’t supposed to be. We did a mold test, and that came back elevated. I had a previous test done, which you accepted, and that was off. It’s a whole slew of things that traditional medicine doesn’t even test for, which is crazy to me.”

Show Notes

One of the most common causes of insomnia is high cortisol.

Cortisol should be low at night so you can fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night.

But if you can’t sleep, cortisol and other stress hormones are probably high at night.

In this episode, you'll find out:

what hidden health imbalances can make your body release cortisol at night
which tests identify what's causing high cortisol in your body
what genes cause your body to hold onto stress hormones at night
how to know if you have these genes and how to deal with them

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

Client Testimonial

My client Burton said:

"Before working with you, I was having trouble falling asleep and would stay up way too late. I also had trouble with waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep. I was alternating between Trazadone, Xanax, Advil Pm and tart cherry juice to sleep.

Now I'm able to fall asleep on a consistent basis with a bedtime routine that Martha came up with without drugs. I can usually fall back asleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. It's a huge accomplishment to not need sleeping pills anymore. YAY!!

The whole experience was great. It was interesting to learn about gut health and how it relates to my sleep.

I used to be hesitant about going to sleep because it was hard for me to fall asleep in general unless I took a sleeping pill! Now I feel much more confident about sleep. I'm not as groggy as when I wake up from a sleeping pill. I'm also going to bed at a reasonable time. I'm more healthy overall. I'm eating a better diet and drinking less alcohol."

Show Notes

People wonder if their sleep issues are genetic because their mom or dad or sister or brother also has insomnia.

The truth is, your genes do play a role in your sleep.

In this podcast episode, you’ll learn:

Why genes are not your destiny
What really matters when it comes to genes and sleeping
A genetic testing alternative
Genes that lead to insomnia

I know it can feel like you’ve tried everything, but we really need to look at everything going on in the body, mind, and genes. And if you haven’t taken the big picture, whole health approach, you haven’t tried anything like the Complete Sleep Solution.

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.

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.

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!”

Mineral imbalances can cause insomnia.

You hear about vitamins all the time, but you rarely hear about the importance of minerals for health and sleep. All of my clients have some sort of mineral imbalance which makes sense since they aren’t sleeping well.

In this episode you'll learn:

how different mineral imbalances affect sleep
how to test for mineral balance
why you don't want to overlook minerals if you can't sleep

I have all my clients do an easy Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test so we can see what’s going on with their minerals that’s affecting their sleep. If you focus on your gut or your hormones but you don’t address mineral imbalances like copper toxicity, you won’t fully get over your insomnia.

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

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.

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!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

other signs of liver dysfunction
the functional tests I use to see if your liver is affecting your sleep
simple things you can do now to support your liver

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
the only way to truly get your hormones back in balance
how to find the root cause of your insomnia so you can get over it for good

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

My client Samantha dealt with insomnia for 10 years.

She would see a functional doctor, get supplements that temporarily helped her, and find herself dealing with sleep issues again months later. It was like a nightmare roller coaster.

Insomnia caused her to take leave from her medical job and miss out on family events, which is what led her to find the Sleep Detective podcast.

After working together, Samantha is now sleeping 7-9 hours a night most nights and she has more energy and mental clarity than she’s had in a long time.

In this episode you’ll learn:

What Samantha’s test results showed
What her personalized protocol was to solve her insomnia for good
Samantha’s advice for anyone dealing with sleep issues

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.
How blood sugar affects the brain.
How to balance your blood sugar for optimal sleep.

If you have blood sugar issues and you aren’t sleeping, your body isn’t healthy. The only way to get better is to find everything that’s causing stress in your body and mind and correct them. You want to look at gut health, hormone balance, minerals, food sensitivities, mental stress and more.

Diet, exercise and random supplements aren’t enough to get back in balance so you can sleep normally. I use functional lab tests to find what’s going on in your body that’s causing your sleep issues so we know what to correct.

“Before working with you, I was constantly waking up through the night and often could not go back to sleep. I was excited to get some help.

I have learned that I (and most of my family) are gluten intolerant, (that was hard to take at first but has been a real help in my diet), I learned some mental tricks about sleep that help me, learned some behavioral problems. I also had a gut parasite and imbalance that once was fixed I now feel much better as far as general health.I liked your attention to my physical health in all of the tests we did. I found that the food sensitivity test was particularly helpful.I now sleep through the night, I still wake up often but that is because of my CPAP, but I am almost always able to go back to sleep and I feel more rested throughout the day.Thanks again for all your help, I really am happy that we went down the road, as hard as it was to hear some of the bad news, it has really helped me and my family.”

“I cannot tell you what an amazing feeling it is to be able to fall asleep pretty quickly at night, and then fall back asleep in the middle of the night, and wake up actually feeling rested. I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling really rested and not being on some form of medication.

Does your monkey mind keep you awake at night?

Either you can’t fall asleep or you wake up with your mind racing?

It’s not your fault!

Your ruminating thoughts might seem like a mental problem but it’s not all in your head. There are true physiological reasons why you can’t control your thoughts.

In this episode, you’ll learn the 4 main reasons why you have a racing mind that’s keeping you awake at night.

You’ll see that your mind isn't racing because you aren't meditating enough or because you don’t know how to control your brain. Physical imbalances are causing your mental symptoms. Therapy gives you great tools to try to manage anxious thoughts but it won’t help you get to the root of why this is happening

The only way to calm your racing mind without medication is to find out what’s causing it and correct it. That’s exactly what we can help you with.

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

If you want help with your sleep and want to learn as I have, Martha is dedicated, competent, honest, wholehearted and she has answers. Her knowledge of body chemistry and treatment including diet is extremely impressive. You can feel better."

The medical system can’t help you with insomnia.

This is because insomnia is caused by imbalances in your body. Your body isn’t totally healthy if you can’t sleep normally. (Even if you eat well and exercise and care about your health.)

Building health and fixing disease are two different things.

“I’m doing great. I’m getting back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. I still wake up most nights, but I’m able to get back to sleep fairly quickly. I’m sleeping 7-8 hours a night. I feel really good. Physically, I feel better. Mentally, I feel better. And even nutritionally, I have gained a little weight, not a lot, but a couple of pounds here and there, but that’s probably good. I feel great. I’m doing really well. And in general, just happier. I’m not worried about sleep. It’s not constantly on my mind. It was consuming so much of my thinking throughout the day, and now I’m not worried about it. I sleep well. I look forward to going to bed. And I wake up pretty refreshed. I’m doing really well.”

Client Testimonial

My client Rachel said:

“After discovering Martha and enlisting her services, she did a full analysis of my body and helped me to understand the imbalance and why I wasn't able to fall asleep/stay asleep. She gave me natural solutions on how to get my body flow back in balance and after a year of following her advice, I can fall asleep and stay asleep on my own. I won't ever go back to prescription pills-thanks to Martha. Whatever advice she is giving you, take it. She has your best interests in mind as she did mine. Because of this, I no longer have a negative relationship with sleep. I rarely think about the upcoming sleep which is the opposite of how it used to be. I used to dread going to sleep and would think about it all day long-- now I can appreciate it more. I'm finally getting the consistent enough results I've been looking for my whole life.

Knowing what I know now through this experience with you, makes me realize how terrible the literature & culture on insomnia is.

It blows my mind all the people in your Facebook group who comment on all the crazy stuff they've been doing to try to sleep such as weighted blankets, psyh drugs, cognitive behavioral psychology studies, pills pills and more pills.

You hold the easy answer to everyone's sleeping problems and it's almost criminal that society makes people think all these other tools are the solution to what is simply an out of balance body.”

Client Testimonial

My client Jaipal said:

“The Complete Sleep Solution has truly been life-changing. That isn't just a cliche statement for a testimonial. It is just the truth. My life can be divided into Pre-Martha, and Post-Martha. Before I met with Martha, I was waking up exhausted every single day and sluggishly fighting through each day feeling like I had no energy, no clarity, and no creativity. As an Architect, I need each of those three things to succeed. I started losing confidence in my creative abilities, and my self-worth, and really went down a dark path.

Through a series of lab tests, through metrics and analysis, Martha was able to hone in on the source of my restlessness and lack of proper sleep. She also gave me very useful tools to release stress, both emotional and mental, as well as a full education on the entire subject of sleep.

Less than two weeks into the program, I began to notice some changes. A month in, I started to sleep much better.

Two months in, I realized I had dropped 15 lbs of extra weight. I started waking up with more energy and found that I could get through a full day with focus and attention. Three months in, I had fully formed new habits, transformed my diet, and transformed my body. It's been nearly six months since I initially started the program. And, I have regained the confidence, energy and positivity that I always remembered throughout my life. I feel good. I feel creative. I feel like I am a success. And, just in time! My 40th birthday is tomorrow! Thank you, Martha!"

Show Notes

There's one main hormone that sabotages your sleep. When your body constantly releases cortisol to deal with stress, it affects your body in many different ways, and they aren't good! Learn more in this illuminating episode.

My clients tell me this explains everything for them: why they can't sleep and why they don't feel well.

If you’re experiencing any symptoms at all, including sleep problems, you have cortisol regulation issues and you’re nowhere near perfect health. It takes more than supplements, diet and exercise to get back in balance. The longer you wait to address it, the longer and harder it’s going to be to get better.

Why can't you sleep?

Both your mind AND your body contribute to your sleep issues.

When I suddenly couldn’t sleep in late pregnancy, I made a lot of mistakes that made my sleep even worse. I struggled for 2 years before I finally started sleeping better. And then it took me a couple more years to consistently sleep 8+ hours a night.

In this episode, I tell you the mistakes I made so that hopefully you don’t make the same ones! I could have gotten better so much quicker if I knew then what I know now.

The way to sleep better is to find the imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake. This was the missing piece for me for 2 years and it’s likely the missing piece for you, too!

In the Insomnia Insight program, my team and I use 4 functional lab tests to find the imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake.

The tests look at gut health, liver function, hormone balance, cortisol, heavy metals, minerals, neurotransmitters and more to find exactly what’s causing your insomnia.

No more feeling out of control and helpless because you don’t know why you can’t sleep!

Then we give you a holistic plan (diet, lifestyle, and supplements) to correct those imbalances so that you don’t have to guess at supplements or resort to sleeping pills.

You also get a 30 minute private session with a sleep coach to get any questions answered so you know the steps to take to sleep better soon.

Experiencing emotions is part of being human. But we can have trouble feeling emotions, especially ones that society has told us are bad, such as feeling sad or angry.

When you try to ignore or suppress your feelings, they don’t go away. They get stuck in your body and cause unhealthy patterns and cycles that can be hard to break. They can also bottle up and come out when you don’t want them to.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why you want to feel your feelings
How to feel your feelings in only 10 minutes with 4 simple steps
A tool called the 5 minute rule to help move past negative emotions quickly

In the Complete Sleep Solution program, we use functional lab testing to find the imbalances in your body that are sabotaging your sleep.

And, as you can see from this episode, we also help with mental stress so it doesn’t keep you awake.

It’s a body and mind approach that will make sure you get 7+ hours of uninterrupted sleep in 6 months or less.

You don’t have to see a therapist for the mental part and a health practitioner for the physical part. You can get support for both in the Complete Sleep Solution program from a coach who understands what it’s like to not be able to sleep.

If you can't sleep 7+ hours a night without interruption, your gut isn't healthy. And doing a stool test such as the GI Map will give a lot of insight into what's causing your insomnia.

the 3 top gut issues that impact sleep.
how an unhealthy gut leads to other imbalances in the body that sabotage sleep.

Emmanuel just started the Insomnia Insight program and he's already sleeping better!

“When I saw I have H Pylori, a lot of things started to make sense. Believe it or not, many functional medicine doctors I visited in the past didn't detect it using the other tests they use. I quickly started reading about what HP does and how it results in decreased absorption, inflammation, etc. It now makes sense why none of the other treatments I tried in the past had any effect. I have been taking the supplements for a week. For the first time in years, I had 3 nights in a week where I slept 7 hours straight. So something right is definitely happening. I learned not to raise my hopes too fast but I feel something is changing in my gut.”

Many of my clients are taking benzodiazepines, and unfortunately many of them have a hard time getting off these drugs.

I’m not judging anyone who’s taking benzos. I want to warn you if you’re taking them or if you’re considering taking them so you know the risks.

Your doctor may not tell you about the side effects or about how hard it can be to stop taking them.

In this episode, I talk about:

The side effects of benzodiazepines
How they affect the brain
Why they’re so addictive
How to get off benzos (don’t stop cold turkey!)
How to approach getting off benzos for insomnia
What support you need when tapering from benzos

If you’re on benzos for insomnia, the first step is to uncover the imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake. Then you can wean off medication when your body is in a healthier state that is more likely to be able to sleep.

This is what we help you with in the Complete Sleep Solution program. We find out what’s causing your insomnia. Then we give you a plan to fix those things so you can sleep normally in 6 months or less.

Laurie dealt with insomnia for over 20 years. The previous 3 years were the worst, because she was averaging only 17 hours of sleep per week.

Over the years, she tried over-the-counter sleep supplements, prescription medication from her doctor, a weighted blanket, a grounding mat, hypnosis, yoga, meditation, red light therapy, and sleep hygiene protocols - but nothing worked.

Laurie searched for a podcast that would help her with insomnia, and found The Sleep Detective podcast. Soon after finding the podcast, she signed up to work with us in The Complete Sleep Solution program.

The Complete Sleep Solution program uses functional lab tests and assessments to find everything in your body that’s causing insomnia. Then we give you a customized plan to fix what’s happening inside your body, so you get healthier and can sleep normally.

Testing showed exactly what was going on inside Laurie’s body, including several imbalances and dietary issues.

After working together for 6 months and making positive changes in her life, Laurie’s body is now back in balance and she is sleeping well. Now that she’s feeling better, she’s able to sleep in bed with her husband again, and she feels like her entire life is back to normal.

Your partner tells you that you overreact.

You’re irritable and short-tempered.

You know that spilling milk shouldn’t be a big deal but you can’t help but get upset every time.

I want to tell you that you’re not crazy and this isn’t your fault.

Your body doesn’t have the resources it needs to deal with stress.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Signs of an unhealthy stress response
What causes cortisol to become depleted
How low cortisol can lead to sleep issues
My client Rachel’s story
How to lower stress so you can sleep normally!

The Complete Sleep Solution program uses functional lab testing to find out what's going on in their body that is out of whack and stressful.

And we also use life coaching and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help with mental stress.

Other sleep programs or doctors only look at the body OR the mind-no one else looks at both. This is why the Complete Sleep Solution program is so effective.

P.S. If you’re struggling to sleep and you’re stressed out by the small things, I’m here for you. Book a call with me to talk about what’s going on with your sleep and find out exactly how we can help you sleep well so you can stop sweating the small stuff!

Julia has been getting 3-5 hours of sleep a night for years now. She feels anxious before bed, complains about her sleep and spends a lot of time lying in bed worrying and not sleeping.

She wakes up at 3am every night. This sucks! I know because this used to happen to me, too.

In this episode, I give Julia 3 things to focus on to help with her sleep. And I tell her what else could be causing her insomnia.

The Most common reason for waking up at 3am is a pathogen in the gut! It could be a parasite (like I had!), or “bad” bacteria or yeast such as candida.

If you wake up every night at about the same time, you could have a parasite, too! Parasites damage the gut and cause lots of inflammation, leading to other imbalances in the body that also affect sleep.

There’s more to sleeping better than just killing a parasite. It also involves restoring gut health, supporting liver detox, balancing hormones and more!

The Complete Sleep Solution program finds all of the imbalances in your body (and mind) that are affecting your sleep and gives you a plan to correct them so you can sleep well and wake up rested with energy every day.

Some of my clients have high histamine that is contributing to their sleep issues.

In this episode, you'll learn all about histamine:

-how it affects sleep

-symptoms of high histamine

-what causes excess histamine

-what to do about high histamines

-how anti-histamines make the problem worse

The key is to find out why your histamine levels are high and correct those things.

It's the same with insomnia. There's not just 1 reason you aren't sleeping normally. There are multiple causes.

Just like an old car that isn't running. Let’s say you have an old car that needs a new engine and transmission and battery and alternator! You could fix the engine and your car still won’t run. You have to fix all of them for your car to work.

Same with our bodies. Your sleep issues are a sign that multiple systems in your body aren’t working.

You can’t just look at one, such as hormones for example, and expect to be fixed. Because your gut and liver and your immune system still aren’t working.

You need to fix everything at once and get your entire body back in balance.

This is why what you’ve tried so far hasn’t worked. If you’ve gone gluten free or worked on hormones or liver detox and haven’t fully improved, it doesn’t mean that those things didn’t work or weren’t necessary. It just means that there are also other things out of balance that also need to be corrected.

Sometimes I get asked the question, "If we do everything at once, how do we know what works?"

And the answer is, it all needs to work together. We need to get all the systems in your body working properly again to get back in balance so you can sleep normally.

Just like the old car that needs multiple new parts to run again.

The Complete Sleep Solution program finds what’s out of whack in your body and gives you a simple plan to get back in balance with lots of love and support.

I've had my own experiences with cannabis that make me question if it's actually helpful, or if it could possibly hurt sleep. So I did some research and asked some questions to get to the bottom of this topic. In this episode, you'll find out all about cannabis and sleep, including:-What the research shows -The side effects of cannabis for sleep-The differences between THC and CBD for sleep-How it affects the sleep stages -How it affects neurotransmitters and hormones-My recommendations for whether to use cannabis or not The bottom line is that cannabis is a Band-aid. It's not solving what’s out of balance in your body that’s keeping you from sleeping normally. The way to sleep better naturally and permanently is to find out what's out of whack in your body that's sabotaging your sleep and fix those imbalances.

One of the most common causes of insomnia is high cortisol.

Cortisol should be low at night so you can fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night.

But if you can’t sleep, cortisol and other stress hormones are probably high at night.

In this episode, you'll find out:

what hidden health imbalances can make your body release cortisol at night
which tests identify what's causing high cortisol in your body
what genes cause your body to hold onto stress hormones at night
how to know if you have these genes and how to deal with them

The Complete Sleep Solution program helps with high cortisol at night, "dirty" genes, and all the hidden health issues that cause insomnia so you can sleep better naturally and permanently!

In this Sleep Breakthrough session I chatted with Joseph about his sleep struggles, what he’s tried so far, and the top 3 things that are getting in the way of good sleep for him.

He’s been doing all the “right” things to get better: going to functional medicine doctors; working on gut health, detox and hormones; and eating an anti-inflammatory diet. But his sleep hasn’t improved.

One reason he hasn’t gotten better is that the doctors he’s worked with are looking at one part of his health at a time. They focus on gut health, then liver function, then hormones. It takes a couple of months to work on each thing and meanwhile the other things start out of balance.

Focusing on one thing at a time doesn't usually work because everything in the body is connected. If you just focus on gut health but don’t support detox, then the liver gets even more congested when trying to kill pathogens and you don’t get better.

The fastest and more effective way to sleep normally is to support your body’s health as a whole which involves looking at multiple systems of the body at the same time instead of one at a time.

The second reason why he hasn’t gotten any better is because he’s likely dealing with mold toxicity! I use an assessment looking at 13 symptom clusters to identify possible mold issues. He had 9 out of these 13 and studies show that having at least 8 symptoms means there's a 95% chance that someone has CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) which is commonly caused by mold.

25% of people have a gene which makes it hard to detoxify mold toxins, and they get sick when they’re exposed. I see mold toxicity in about 1/3 of my clients, so it’s definitely more common than you might think!

For more info about mold toxicity and sleep, listen to Episode 37.

Dealing with mold can be tough, especially if your home has it. But it’s necessary to address it so that your body can recover so that you can sleep normally.

If you can’t sleep, there are hidden imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake. My team and I will find out what they are and give you a plan to fix it so you start sleeping better permanently. Schedule a consultation to find out more and get started so you can overcome insomnia and live the life you want to live asap!

My insomnia started in late pregnancy and didn’t go away after my son was born. So I know what triggered my sleep issues.

But not everyone has a known trigger.

Sleep issues can happen gradually and get worse over time.

Or your sleep can ebb and flow and be unpredictable.

In this episode, I explain what can trigger insomnia and how sleep issues happen even if you don’t know what triggers it.

My client Richard has doubled his sleep in the first 2 months working together.

“I am pleased to say that i have gone up fro m 1-2 hours to 3-4. 🤗 This has made a massive difference to my emotional state, and I have just been re-engaging with life the last week! I feel like starting the mold protocol is the factor that has helped.”

Mold toxicity was affecting him but what really triggered his insomnia was mold, working 70-80 hours a week, and his body breaking down over time.

Both your mind AND your body contribute to your sleep issues.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps with the mental part.

Doctors may try to help with the physical part but they usually end up prescribing sleeping pills or anti-anxiety medication which isn’t getting to the root of the problem.

The only way to truly get over your insomnia is to find out what's going on in both your body and your mind and correct all of those things at once.

If you can't sleep, your brain isn’t healthy.

Good sleep is possible for everyone!

Everything you do during the day determines how you'll sleep at night.

If you're having trouble sleeping, either falling asleep or staying asleep, make sure you're doing all the right things to support a good night's rest.

I'm giving you 10 tips (plus 5 extra bonuses) to do during the day so you sleep better tonight.

I also made a spreadsheet to track these habits so you can see how they affect your sleep and determine what helps. You can access it here and make a copy to fill it out.

If these things don’t help, that means you have underlying, hidden health issues that are keeping you from sleeping normally.

One of the main reasons my clients can’t sleep is because of poor gut health (even if they don’t have digestive issues). I created a new offer, The Sleep Better Jumpstart program, to look specifically at gut health and other factors that are causing your insomnia.

If you can’t sleep, your body is in chaos!

Your body wants to be in balance, but when it can’t handle all the stress it’s under, it gets completely out of balance and all the systems stop working optimally.

You'll learn:

what causes metabolic chaos
how metabolic chaos can lead to insomnia

how to get out of metabolic chaos so you can sleep normally

Nutrition information is so confusing and contradictory! It's hard to know what we should be eating.

As a nutritionist and functional health coach, I've figured out a simple way to find the diet that works best for each of my clients. It's based on my masters in nutrition, my understanding of Dr. Weston A Price's findings in the 1930's, and my experience working on an organic, biodynamic farm.

In this episode, you'll learn:

-a simple approach to diet and nutrition that isn't confusing.

-what foods to focus on for good sleep and health.

-if a plant-based or animal-based diet is right for you.

-how traditional diets show us how we should eat today.

Want to get my top 3 tips for you personally to start sleeping better? Sign up for a Sleep Breakthrough session! I'll send you an assessment to fill out that looks at diet, blood sugar, hormone balance, liver function, gut health, brain inflammation, mold toxicity, sleep hygiene, mental stress, and more! Then we'll meet on video on Zoom (if you're comfortable) to go over the top 3 things I recommend for you. Our meeting will then be aired on this podcast!

Your blood sugar could be affecting your sleep!

Even if you are a healthy weight and eat healthy. Keeping my blood sugar levels steady was a big piece of the puzzle for me. And it is for many of my clients, too.

I talked about how blood sugar affects our sleep and the signs of low blood sugar and insulin resistance in episode 46 so you want to listen to that episode, too.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What markers to look for on your bloodwork
optimal blood sugar levels before and after eating
How to test your blood sugar
Hacks and supplements to stabilize blood sugar

There are many pieces to the puzzle of what’s causing your insomnia and blood sugar is just one of them. I’ve created a program that looks at all the pieces so we don’t miss anything and so you can get the sleep you want to feel rested, full of energy, and ready for each day.

If you can’t sleep, there are likely imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake (see episode 94). I use 4 different functional lab tests to find these imbalances in my clients.

In this episode, you’ll learn: What I look for in the 4 lab tests How these tests show why you can’t sleep How these tests show much more than typical blood work (which usually comes back “normal”)

These tests together, along with the assessments I use, give me the big picture of what systems in the body aren’t working properly and affecting sleep in each of my clients so we know what to address. It’s different for everyone! That’s why a personalized approach is so important.

If you’re committed to getting to the bottom of your sleep issues once and for all, my team and I are here for you! Schedule a consultation today to get started so you can start sleeping better soon!

People wonder if their sleep issues are genetic because their mom or dad or sister or brother also has insomnia. While your genes can make you more susceptible to poor sleep, luckily your genes are not your destiny. What you eat, how much you move, how much stress you have and more determines whether your genes turn off or on.

Your genetics determine what diet is right for you, what exercise your body needs, what supplements and medications will work well for you, what habits will best support your body, and more. It’s different for everyone and that’s why it’s important to have a customized approach to health issues such as insomnia.

In this episode, you’ll learn how your genes affect your sleep and how to assess what genes are playing a role in your sleep issues.

Our modern life doesn’t make it easy to be healthy. So many habits that are common in this day and age aren’t good for us even though they’re socially acceptable and it seems like everyone does them. And some of these habits we’re told are healthy aren’t necessarily healthy for everyone.

Focusing on your health is important for sleep because not being able to sleep well is a sign that the body isn’t healthy. A healthy body needs sleep and knows how to do it. If you can’t sleep, the key is to find out what imbalances in your body are keeping you awake at night and correct them.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why society makes it hard to be healthy
15 common habits that keep people from being healthy and sleeping well
What to do instead

You can’t do what everyone else is doing and expect to be healthy. In fact, all of these habits have led to an increasingly unhealthy population. Chronic disease and insomnia are more rampant than ever before.

The truth is, you have to make an effort to be healthy these days. And it’s hard to know what is healthy and what isn’t because there’s so much conflicting information out there. That’s why it’s necessary now more than ever to have a health coach who can show you what you need to do to be healthy for YOUR body and what’s going to work for you and your lifestyle in the long-term.

At the Complete Sleep Solution, we teach you how to be healthy for life. And you can pass this on to your family so you’re all healthier!

85% of my clients with sleep issues have H. pylori! If you can’t sleep, it’s likely that you have this bacteria, too.

One of my first clients was an amazing man named Jaipal Singh. He had H. pylori as well as other bacterial infections, estrogen dominance, gluten and dairy sensitivity and mineral imbalance. We addressed these imbalances and he made progress really quickly:

“Less than two weeks into the program, I began to notice some changes.

A month in, I started to sleep much better.

Two months in, I realized I had dropped 15 lbs of extra weight. I started waking up with more energy, and found that I could get through a full day with focus and attention.

Three months in, and I had fully formed new habits, transformed my diet, and transformed my body.

It's been nearly six months since I initially started the program. And, I have regained the confidence, energy and positivity that I always remembered throughout my life.”

He passed away from stomach cancer 2 years after writing this incredible testimonial. His doctor didn’t think the H. pylori was a problem and so he didn’t either. I’m not telling this story to scare you because dying from stomach cancer is rare, but this is why I now take H. pylori even more seriously than ever before.

In this episode, I talk all about H. pylori:

What H. pylori is
How it affects your sleep
Symptoms of H. pylori
Other health effects of this bacteria
Which test is best for H. pylori
How to deal with it

If you can’t sleep, it’s likely that you have H. pylori and that it’s affecting your sleep and your health.

I recommend the GI Map to test for H. pylori and a comprehensive approach to focusing on gut health and the health of the rest of your body so that you can restore your health and sleep better! H. pylori may be a piece of the puzzle, but you also need to look at liver and detox function, hormone balance, nutrient deficiencies, heavy metals and more to truly get better.

I created the Complete Sleep Solution program to get to the bottom of why you can’t sleep and help you restore your health so you can sleep normally long-term. Schedule a consultation to find out more:

Take the quiz to find out if it’s your body OR your mind that’s causing your insomnia!

As you know, sleeping better will transform your life because being sleep deprived affects every part of your life: your work, your relationships, your mood and your health.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

3 principles that will help you sleep better
Why your functional/alternative practitioner hasn’t been able to help you
Why you want a program that’s transformational instead of transactional

I went to Costa Rica when I was 25. I spent part of the time traveling on my own and a few days traveling with my boyfriend and his parents. I was a backpacker, no-plans, DIY traveler at the time so when I found out we were going on a guided, planned-to-the-minute tour to a national park with my boyfriend’s family, I thought it was going to be lame.

I had a great time on my own. I went to a surf camp and met some other travelers. But finding a place to stay, figuring out where to rent surfboards, and questioning if the hostel was safe was stressful.

The guided tour turned out to be the highlight. It was much more relaxing to know that meals, lodging, and activities were all taken care of. I learned about the plants and animals, the culture, and the struggles the country has had with protecting the environment. I got an insider’s view into and a deeper connection with the people and the country. It wasn’t lame at all. It was transformational.

Trying to DIY your sleep is the same thing as DIY traveling. You may make some progress on the surface. But it won’t transform your sleep. Or your health.

This episode explains why!

Ever since I learned about life coaching a few years ago, it has changed every aspect of my life, from my relationships to my business to my health and sleep.

In this episode I’m interviewing my life coach Stephanie Spinelli who is now also a part of my team working with clients in the Complete Sleep Solution.

We talk about our experience with life coaching and the impact it’s had on us.

We talk about the difference between life coaching and therapy.

And we talk about who life coaching is for and how it will help our clients sleep better.

If you have anxiety, if you have a lot of stress in your life, if you’re an entrepreneur, Stephanie can help you calm your nervous system so you can sleep better and live your best life.

I also talked about life coaching in Episode 70: A powerful way to rewire your brain to sleep better so check out that episode to learn about a specific tool we use in life coaching.

One of the questions I get asked the most is “Why do I wake up at 3am?” Or 2 or 4am?

So many people wake up at the same time each night like clockwork. This happened to me, too! From working with almost 100 clients, I’ve found there are 3 common reasons why this is happening.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How cortisol sabotages sleep
The 3 most likely causes of waking up in the middle of the night
How to find out if these underlying health issues are affecting you

If you’re waking up in the middle of the night most nights, it’s likely that at least one if not all three of these issues are the culprit.

The only way to know for sure is to test.

That’s why the Complete Sleep Solution program includes 4 functional lab tests that identify exactly what’s keeping you awake at night.

It’s testing, not guessing so that we know what to address and you get better as quickly as possible.

Book a free consultation to find out more and see if the program is a good fit for you. I know how much better life is when you’re getting a good night’s sleep every night. I want that for you, too! It is possible for everyone to sleep well!

Summary of the episode:

Cortisol is an anti-inflammatory hormone and so if you have inflammation in the middle of the night, your body will release cortisol which will wake you up.

The 3 most common reasons why you wake up at 3am:

Low blood sugar
A pathogen in the gut
Liver detox issues

You can find more in-depth info about:

Blood sugar-Episode 46
Pathogens-Episode 12
Liver detox issues-Episode 27
Cortisol-Episode 3
Lower toxins-Episode 28

There can be other underlying health issues that cause you to wake up at night such as hormone imbalance, mineral deficiencies, mold toxicity and heavy metals.

I also mentioned and recommend the Keto-mojofor a glucose and ketone monitor.

I wake up almost every night to pee and then go right back to sleep. But when I wasn’t sleeping well, I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep for hours.

Waking up in the night and not being able to fall back asleep is so frustrating! I remember lying in bed feeling so desperate because I was so frigging tired but I couldn’t sleep no matter what I did.

While I help my clients with underlying health imbalances that affect sleep, there are also some things you can try to fall back asleep more quickly.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

6 ways to fall asleep faster
3 things you shouldn’t do in the middle of the night
An important mind hack for better sleep

If these tips don't help most of the time, then there are hidden health issues that are keeping you awake.

In the Complete Sleep Solution program, we use functional lab testing to find those physical imbalances.

And we make sure your mind doesn’t sabotage your sleep with stress and anxiety.

It’s the only natural body and mind program that gets to the root of why you can’t sleep.

If nothing else has worked, it’s time to get to the root of the problem.

Summary of the episode:

6 things to do:

Inflammation is a main cause of insomnia. That’s because when there’s inflammation, your body releases cortisol because it’s an anti-inflammatory hormone. When your body releases cortisol at night, you feel wired (even though you’re exhausted) and you can’t sleep.

One of the main contributors to inflammation is the food we eat. Refined sugar, alcohol, processed foods and vegetable oils cause inflammation in your body. There’s another food in particular that causes inflammation in almost all of my clients.

If you can't sleep, it's likely that this food is affecting your sleep, too.

If you can’t sleep, you want to listen to this episode!

In this episode, you’ll find out:

How this food affects sleep.
Why this food is hard to digest these days.
Symptoms of sensitivity (your gut may feel fine!).
How to find out if you’re sensitive to this food.
Why it feels hard to eliminate this common food.

If you’re ready to get to the root of what’s causing your insomnia and overcome it for good, the first step is to book a consultation with me. We’ll talk about what’s going with your sleep and your health and make sure the program is a good fit for you.

There’s good stress and there’s bad stress. And there’s hormetic stress, the kind of stress that makes you stronger (such as exercise).

If you can’t sleep, your body is already stressed. So there are activities that we think are healthy that you shouldn’t be doing if you aren’t sleeping well.

In this episode, you'll learn:

the 5 “healthy” things you should avoid if you can’t sleep
the 2 steps you want to take to permanently overcome insomnia

My client Jesse came to me after struggling to sleep for 6 years. It started during a stressful time in his life but he still was waking up and not feeling rested even though he was in a good place mentally. He tried trazadone and many natural remedies. He didn't want to be on drugs and the supplements never worked for long.

As an entrepreneur, his lack of sleep was affecting his work and life and he wanted to be mentally sharper.

Through the lab testing, I found many imbalances in his body that were contributing to his insomnia:

food sensitivities
hormone imbalance (high estrogen and low progesterone and testosterone)
high cortisol
liver congestion
mineral imbalance
heavy metals
H. pylori
lack of digestive enzymes

We worked together for 6 months correcting these imbalances and getting him to a healthy state. Now he's sleeping better than he has in years. He still wakes up in the night occasionally but way less often. And he's feeling much more rested most days. And his improved sleep has continued even with travel, the holidays and eating the foods he loves.

He recently wrote, "I'm sleeping better than I have in years. I'm grateful to be her client!"

This is possible for you, too! Book a consultation to talk about what's going on with your sleep and if you're a good fit for the Complete Sleep Solution program so you can start sleeping better soon.

The medical system can’t help you with insomnia.

This is because insomnia is caused by imbalances in your body. Your body isn’t totally healthy if you can’t sleep normally. (Even if you eat well and exercise and care about your health.)

Building health and fixing disease are two different things.

In this week’s episode of The Insomnia Fix, I explain why the medical system can’t solve your insomnia AND what can!

If you’re ready to get over your insomnia for good by finding the root cause, we can help. Book a consultation to find out how the program works so you can start sleeping better soon!

My team member Deb suffered from mold toxicity and spent many frustrating nights awake and exhausted because of it. She healed herself and her family after becoming trained in functional lab testing and health coaching.

During her journey, she learned some exercises that made a huge difference in her health. In fact, at a recent checkup her doctor kept checking her heart and she was scared that something was wrong!

Instead, he was amazed that her heart rate was 10-15 beats less on her exhale. This means that she is in a calm state and responds to stress very well. She knew that she was feeling calmer and less reactive, but she was amazed that her doctor noticed physical improvements as well.

Her doctor didn’t know what was responsible for her calm state until she told him-it was the exercise Deb and I talk about in this episode!

If you’ve tried what seems like everything and you still can’t sleep, that’s because there are imbalances in the body that are keeping you awake. The Complete Sleep Solution program uses lab testing to find what those imbalances are and gives you a plan to correct them so you can sleep normally. It’s the only way to permanently restore your health so you can sleep well. Book a free consultation to talk about what’s going on with your sleep and see if the program is a good fit for you!

Each one of us has a different body clock or circadian rhythm that’s based on genetics. While the 10pm-6am sleep schedule is most common, it’s true that there are night owls and early birds who are wired with different circadian rhythms.

Many of my clients have a messed up circadian rhythm which means their body clock is off. They feel sleepy during the day or in the early afternoon. But then when it’s time to go to bed, they’re wide awake even though they’re exhausted.

In this video, you'll learn:

-the 2 reasons your body clock is messed up

how to use light therapy to reset your body clock

-how cortisol affects your circadian rhythm

-why cortisol is high at night, affecting your sleep

My team and I at the Complete Sleep Solution can help you reset your circadian rhythm so you can sleep normally. We use functional lab testing to find out what’s causing stress and inflammation in your body. (Functional lab testing shows how the different systems in your body are working so we know what to fix, kind of like how a car mechanic plugs your engine into the diagnostic machine to see what’s wrong.) Then we give you a plan to reduce that stress and inflammation so you can fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night.

Many people tell me that they can’t sleep because of anxiety. Their anxiety is what’s keeping them awake at night.

And some you have been told by your doctors/psychiatrists that your insomnia and anxiety are all in your head.

I disagree.

I think that what’s causing your anxiety is also causing your insomnia. It’s not all in your head.

In this episode, you'll learn:

an amazing book that confirms my theory about what causes anxiety
what really causes anxiety and insomnia and how to fix it
how meds for anxiety make it worse
why you don't want to call yourself an anxious person
how anxiety is here to help you

At the Complete Sleep Solution, my team and I will help you get to the root of your anxiety and insomnia. We do functional lab testing to find what’s causing anxiety in your body and your mind.

The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response

My client Maura came to me when she was struggling to fall asleep and would go days without sleeping if she wasn’t taking a sleeping pill. She was taking Seroquel and Lexapro to sleep and feel calm. She had to take a leave from teaching because she wasn’t sleeping.

Her goal was to sleep 7 hours a night, get off meds, and not feel anxious about sleep. By the end of our time working together, she achieved all of these goals!

She says in the episode, "In 2 months I weaned off Trazadone. On average I’m sleeping 7-8 hours a night and feeling a lot better.”

Maura was 100% committed to the process and because of that, she had great success!

In this episode, you can hear her story firsthand.

If she can get better, you can, too! Schedule a consultation today to get started: https://p.bttr.to/3VJwvDs

Our thoughts actually affect how our genes are expressed.

-why our default thinking tends to be negative

-a powerful tool for rewiring your brain to change your thoughts

If you can't sleep, you could have a parasite that is contributing to your insomnia. About ⅓ of my clients do!

However, it's not just the parasite itself that affects your sleep. It's the many different ways that the parasite wreaks havoc in your body that are also affecting your sleep.

In this episode, I explain all the effects a parasite has on the different systems in your body and why it's going to take more than getting rid of the parasite to sleep better.

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!

If you want to sleep better so you can enjoy your life and live your life purpose, the first step is to book a consultation. We'll talk about how you're sleeping and feeling now, how lack of sleep is impacting your life, and the steps you can take to find the root cause of your insomnia so you can sleep better soon.

To sleep well, you need to be in a calm and relaxed state.

Many people with insomnia get stuck in the stress response. Their body is constantly releasing cortisol and so they get stuck in fight or flight or that sympathetic state.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

-Why you get stuck in fight or flight.

-How stress affects the body over time.

-7 ways to calm your nervous system so you can sleep.

-Tips for starting a new habit.

-What mental & physical stressors can affect sleep.

The key to sleeping well is to lower mental and physical stress as much as possible so your body and mind can be calm and relaxed. This is what we help you with in the Complete Sleep Solution program.

We use functional lab tests to find hidden physical stressors.

And we help with mental stress and anxiety about sleep so that your mind doesn’t keep you awake.

My client David had been struggling with sleep issues and gut pain all of his life. His sleep had gotten worse in the last 10 years and recently he was sleeping 2-3 hours a night while taking sleeping pills.

Within a few weeks of working together, he got off meds and has been sleeping at least 7 hours most nights! We're only halfway through working together and he's already seen major improvement.

In this episode we talk about his progress so far and what he's learned from being in the program. He's an inspiring example of what is possible when you're determined to figure out your sleep issues so you can enjoy your life and make an impact in the world.

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.

Schedule a free consultation to find out how the Complete Sleep Solution will find what’s keeping you awake at night and help you sleep better soon.

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. Book a free consultation to talk about what's going on with your sleep and how the Complete Sleep Solution can help you get to the bottom of your sleep issues so you can sleep better soon.

An unhealthy gut can lead to insomnia (see episode 6). The medical approach to assessing gut health is to do a colonoscopy or endoscopy. I use the GI Map instead and I explain why in this episode.

If you’ve done (or are thinking about doing) a colonoscopy to find out if your gut is contributing to your sleep problems, listen to this first!

The Complete Sleep Solution uses the GI Map and other functional medicine tests to pinpoint exactly why you can't sleep. Then we give you a plan to get your body back in balance. And we support you throughout the entire journey so you are guaranteed to get better.

The first step is to book a free consultation to talk about what’s going on with your sleep and what it looks like to work together so we can finally find the root cause of your insomnia and you can sleep better soon.

Good sleepers close their eyes, fall asleep quickly and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. It should be that easy.

When you have insomnia, sleep isn’t easy. You can’t fall asleep. Or you lie awake for hours in the middle of the night, exhausted but wired.

Whether you’ve been suffering for years or even decades, understanding how sleep works is the first step to better sleep.

After listening to this episode, you'll know why it's normal:

to feel tired after lunch
to take a few nights to make up for missed sleep
to misjudge how long you sleep
to feel like you sleep better the first half of the night and more restlessly toward morning
to wake up briefly throughout the night

If you aren't sleeping well and waking up rested, there are imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake. We can find out what they are and give you a plan to correct them so you can sleep better soon. Book a call with me to find out more.

Everything you do affects your sleep: what you eat, how you think, your habits, etc. That’s why I look at everything in your life that is affecting your sleep in a holistic way. In this episode, I explain the 5 things you need to look at when overcoming insomnia.

The path to better sleep is simple:

1. Find out what’s keeping you awake in your body and your mind.
1. Follow a step-by-step plan to correct them.

This is what I do for my clients. Book a call with me to learn how I can help you improve your sleep so you can truly enjoy your life.

If you've gone to therapy or tried CBT-i (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) and it hasn't helped you sleep, there are reasons why that I explain in this episode.

Episode 11: Change your thoughts to change your sleep

Serotonin is our “happy” neurotransmitter because it helps us enjoy life. Many of my clients are deficient in serotonin and it’s affecting their sleep and mood. Serotonin deficiency directly affects sleep because your body is supposed to convert serotonin to melatonin, which regulates your sleep cycle.

The reason you don’t have enough serotonin is because your body isn’t healthy. In this episode, you’ll learn:

The symptoms of serotonin deficiency
5 imbalances that cause serotonin deficiency
How to find out if you don’t have enough serotonin

If you can’t sleep and you’ve tried what seems like everything, there are underlying health issues that are keeping you awake. On October 4th at 1pm ET, you’ll learn the top 5 hidden causes of insomnia in my Why You Can’t Sleep masterclass!

This masterclass is for you if:

You have trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, or you wake up too early in the morning.
You’ve been struggling to sleep for months, years or since childhood.
You’ve tried many things to improve your sleep: supplements, avoiding screens before bed, sleep trackers, gadgets, sleep meds.
Your bloodwork is “normal” and your doctor hasn’t helped.
Nothing else has worked but you don’t want to give up.

Sleep issues weren’t a thing 200 years ago. Humans used to sleep an average of 8 ½ hours a night; now we average 7 ½ hours.

This isn’t surprising considering how much has changed in the past 150 years. There are 3 reasons why we have a hard time sleeping today that I explain in this episode.

In the Complete Sleep Solution, I address all 3 of these reasons to find everything that’s keeping you awake at night. Book a free consultation with me to learn how I can help find exactly what’s causing your insomnia so you can get the sleep you need.

Many of my clients ask me if I recommend that they track their sleep. In this episode, I give the pros and cons of tracking your sleep so you can decide what's best for you.

The first step to sleeping better is to get off birth control. The next step is to work with me so I can find why your hormones are out of balance and help you get them back in balance so you can sleep normally and feel great, even during your period.

Book a consultation to talk about how to find out why you can’t sleep and how I can help you sleep better soon.

If you Google "how to sleep better" you'll find the same tips:

don't watch screens before bed
don't drink caffeine past 2 p.m.
follow a relaxing bedtime routine
exercise everyday
etc.

These tips don't work for most people with chronic insomnia and I explain why in this episode.

We can find what's keeping you from sleeping normally and correct it! Book a free consultation to see if you're a good fit for my program: https://10to8.com/book/completesleepsolution/

Many of my clients have family members who also have sleep issues. And so they think that their insomnia is genetic.

In this episode I'm going to explain how much our genes play a role in our sleep.

Just because your parents or other family members suffer from insomnia doesn’t mean that you have to!

The way to get over sleep issues is to

Find out what’s out of balance in your body
Address those things and restore your health so you can sleep normally.

This is exactly what I help my clients with every day. Book a consultation to talk about how to find out why you can’t sleep and how I can help you sleep better soon.

There are two parts of your brain that battle each other.

One part (the prefrontal cortex) wants you to sleep better. The other part (your primal brain) doesn’t.

In my latest column for the Jackson Hole News & Guide, you’ll learn about these two parts of the brain, how your primal brain sabotages your sleep, and why it’s so hard to make changes that will help you sleep better.

My client ML just went to Ireland and wrote, “I was so nervous about sleeping in various hotels in a different time zone. I did great and slept really well. Each night I slept between 7-8 hours. My anxiety about sleep is so much better.” We’ve only been working together for a month and she’s already seeing improvement, not just in her sleep but also in how she thinks about sleep.

This is possible for you, too! We help you rewire your brain so you can sleep better soon.

The first step is to let your prefrontal cortex book a call with me. (Your primal brain may try to talk you out of it but that’s ok.) We’ll talk about how you’re sleeping now, how you want to be sleeping in 6 months, and the steps you can take to get there.

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.

Book a call with me to talk about what’s going on with your sleep, how we can find what’s keeping you from sleeping normally, and what it looks like to work together so you can sleep better soon:

In this week’s episode of The Insomnia Fix, I give you a simple exercise to help with worry and fear.

The talk about a possible recession sparked me to share this exercise with you because I know that changes in the economy can cause worry and anxiety.

This exercise works for any stressful situation. You’re worried about losing your job? Your boyfriend breaking up with you? Having to move to take care of your in-laws? Getting Covid?

And if you want help with your sleep, I’m here for you. I help with mental stress such as worrying about the economy. And I use lab testing to find what’s physically causing your insomnia. Book a call to find out more.

Mineral imbalances can cause insomnia.

You hear about vitamins all the time, but you rarely hear about the importance of minerals for health and sleep. All of my clients have some sort of mineral imbalance which makes sense since they aren’t sleeping well.

In this episode you'll learn:

-how different mineral imbalances affect sleep

-how to test for mineral balance

-why you don't want to overlook minerals if you can't sleep

I have all my clients do an easy Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test so we can see what’s going on with their minerals that’s affecting their sleep. If you focus on your gut or your hormones but you don’t address mineral imbalances like copper toxicity, you won’t fully get over your insomnia.

I help my clients find out what’s causing their insomnia and give them a plan to fix it so they can live rested, happier and healthier lives! Book a call with me to find out how I can help you get these same results!

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.
How blood sugar affects the brain.
How to balance your blood sugar for optimal sleep.

If you have blood sugar issues and you aren’t sleeping, your body isn’t healthy. The only way to get better is to find everything that’s causing stress in your body and mind and correct them. You want to look at gut health, hormone balance, minerals, food sensitivities, mental stress and more.

Diet, exercise and random supplements aren’t enough to get back in balance so you can sleep normally. I use functional lab tests to find what’s going on in your body that’s causing your sleep issues so we know what to correct.

You can get the sleep you need to feel rested, function at your best, and enjoy your life! Book a call with me here to get started so you start sleeping better soon.

My client Andrew came to me after sleeping poorly for over 10 years, since he was 14 years old! It would take him 9 hours to get 5-6 hours of sleep.

In the last year, his sleep deteriorated even more. He was only getting 4-5 hours a night and he was ready for a change. He also had stomach issues and worried about sleep all the time.

In this episode, Andrew shares:

What his lab tests showed was going on in his body
The changes he made to improve his sleep
What was hardest for him and why he says it was worth it
How sleeping great now has improved his life

If Andrew can sleep better, you can too! Book a Zoom consultation to find out more and get started.

Do you know that the gut and the brain are connected? If one isn't healthy, then the other isn’t either!

To sleep well, both your gut and your brain need to be healthy.

Find out how the gut and brain are connected and how to keep both of them healthy in this episode.

At the Complete Sleep Solution, we do functional lab testing to find out what’s happening in your gut and brain that’s keeping you from sleeping normally. Then we give you a simple plan to fix it so you start sleeping better as soon as possible. Book a consultation to get started.

My client Andrey was only sleeping 2-3 hours some nights and he was feeling tired, anxious, and depressed when we started working together.

Within a month of starting supplements and other changes, he started sleeping better.

For the past 6 weeks, he’s feeling better than he ever has before!

In this week’s episode, Andrey and I talk about his experience working together, what the lab tests showed was out of balance for him, and how amazing he feels now!

You can overcome your insomnia, too! Book a consultation on Zoom to get started.

An unhealthy gut is a major contributor to insomnia.

However, it’s never the only reason why my clients can’t sleep.

This is because an unhealthy gut causes other parts of the body to get out of balance. Then those imbalances contribute to insomnia, too.

In this episode, you’ll learn how your gut affects everything else that causes insomnia, from hormones to blood sugar and more.

To get better, you need to address all the imbalances that are keeping you awake. Once your body is back in balance, you’ll be able to sleep normally. It’s that simple!

If you’re ready to get your body back in balance so you can sleep, I’m here for you. Book a consultation on Zoom to talk about what’s going on with your sleep and how you uncover why you aren't sleeping well and fix it so you can sleep better soon.

If you can’t sleep, I’m sure you’ve tried so many supplements to help. If you’re reading this, it’s likely that none of them have really worked.

In this episode, I’m going to explain why supplements such as melatonin, magnesium, CBD, cannanis and others haven’t helped you sleep and what you need to focus on instead.

If you aren’t sleeping, that means your body is out of balance and it’s manifesting as insomnia. Getting your body back in balance is key. That’s exactly what I can help you with. I do lab testing so we know exactly what will help you sleep. Book a free Zoom consultation to get started.

There are obstacles getting in the way of a good night’s sleep for you.

All you have to do is address each obstacle (in the correct order) and your health and sleep will improve.

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 week’s podcast episode and blog post, 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

To see the symptom clusters and the graphics explaining CIRS, go to https://www.thecompletesleepsolution.com/post/mold-toxicity-could-be-causing-your-insomnia.

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!

Anxiety and depression are not causing your insomnia.

Yes, you can be caught in the cycle of anxiety/depression leading to insomnia leading to anxiety/depression leading to insomnia.

But one does not usually cause the other.

Stress and inflammation cause insomnia.

Toxins cause a lot of inflammation in your body so you want to minimize toxins as much as possible.

To reduce toxins, you want to:

Eliminate toxins in your body and support your liver

I use functional lab tests to find out what toxins are in your body. Pathogens in your gut such as a parasite or bacteria overgrowth release many toxins. Heavy metals are toxic, too. Your liver has to break down toxins so they put an extra burden on your liver. To restore your health so you can sleep, you want to eliminate these toxins.

Minimize toxins from the environment

Toxins are also all around us, in the air, our water, our food, our cleaning products, even our lotions and shampoos. To help your body get back in balance, you want to minimize toxins from the environment as much as you can.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to reduce environmental toxins.

I help my clients lower as much stress and inflammation as possible so their bodies can heal and they can sleep normally. Book a free consultation with me to talk about how to find what’s keeping you awake and fix it so you can sleep better soon.

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!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

other signs of liver dysfunction
the functional tests I use to see if your liver is affecting your sleep
simple things you can do now to support your liver

If you’re interested in a natural, permanent, customized solution using the science of lab testing to sleep better, let’s chat! I’ll explain more about what physical health imbalances could be causing your insomnia and give you a step-by-step plan to figure out your sleep once and for all.

Google “Why am I so…” and TIRED is the first thing that pops up!

Many of you are tired all the time and you think it’s normal. You think it’s part of modern life. Or part of getting older. You self-medicate with coffee and sugar and energy drinks.

Being tired is NOT normal. It’s not how you’re supposed to feel during the day. Being in perfect health means having no symptoms and having energy all day!

If you’re tired, something isn’t working right in your body. Of course, when you don’t sleep well, it’s normal to be tired. But what about the nights you do sleep ok? Do you have the energy you want to have the next day? Do you have enough energy to feel passionate about your work, to play with your kids, to get fresh air and exercise?

Besides not getting enough sleep, there are 5 other reasons you feel tired that you’ll learn in this episode.

If you’re tired all the time and not sleeping, I can help. Book a consultation with me to talk about what’s going on with your sleep and how I can help. https://completesleepsolution.10to8.com

If you’ve talked to your doctor about your sleep issues, she probably ran blood work and told you that everything is “normal.”

Or he told you to stop watching TV before bed.

Or she prescribed you a sleeping pill.

Or he told you it’s anxiety and it’s all in your head.

Your insomnia is not from watching TV at night.

Your insomnia is not from being deficient in sleeping pills.

Your insomnia is not all in your head.

There are systems in your body that aren't functioning properly and it’s affecting your sleep. Your doctor is not getting to the root of the problem.

In this episode, I tell you the questions your doctor should be asking if you can’t sleep.

Many of my clients have hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s.

Hashimoto’s doesn’t directly cause sleep issues.

But some of the root causes of thyroid issues are the same as the root causes of sleep issues.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn about the thyroid-sleep connection and how to find the cause of both so you can sleep better soon.

If you have thyroid and sleep issues, I can help you with both at the same time! Book a consultation to find out more: https://completesleepsolution.10to8.com

Copper toxicity could be causing your sleep issues. Almost half of my clients have excess copper so this is important!

If you...

have taken birth control, had an IUD or taken hormone replacement therapy
are (or have been) a vegan or vegetarian
have ever drank out of copper pipes
swim in chlorinated water

...you could have too much copper in your body and it’s causing your insomnia.

Copper is a necessary mineral but it can easily become unbound and unstable and cause neurological symptoms. This is because it accumulates in the brain and the liver.

Find out how you become copper toxic, what other symptoms are, how it interferes with your sleep and how to fix it in this episode.

If you can’t sleep, your gut isn’t healthy. This may not be the only thing causing your insomnia, but it’s a piece of the puzzle.

Healing your gut involves more than just taking a probiotic. (In fact, some of my clients have so much bacterial overgrowth that a probiotic will make things worse!) In this week’s episode, you’ll learn the 5 necessary steps to heal the gut so you can sleep well.

Does your monkey mind keep you awake at night?

Either you can’t fall asleep or you wake up with your mind racing?

It’s not your fault!

Your ruminating thoughts might seem like a mental problem but it’s not all in your head. There are true physiological reasons why you can’t control your thoughts.

In this episode of The Insomnia Fix, you’ll learn the 4 main reasons why you have a racing mind that’s keeping you awake at night.

You’ll see that your mind isn't racing because you aren't meditating enough or because you don’t know how to control your brain. Physical imbalances are causing your mental symptoms.

The reason you can’t sleep isn’t because you’re deficient in Ambien.

You aren’t sleeping because your body isn’t healthy. Sleeping pills get your body even more out of whack. They’re a Band-Aid that doesn’t get to the root of the problem and makes everything worse.

I’m not judging you if you take sleep meds. I know how awful it is to not be able to sleep.
