124: Melatonin - The Scientific and Spiritual f. Deanna Minich PhD


Listen Later

In this enlightening episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we sit down with Dr. Deanna Minich to take a deep dive into the misunderstood world of melatonin. Known by most as the “sleep hormone,” melatonin is revealed as so much more an essential, multifunctional molecule supporting mitochondrial health, immune balance, and even spiritual well-being. Dr. Minich shares her journey from traditional nutrition to the frontiers of functional medicine, uncovering melatonin’s roles in plants and humans alike.

Together we talk about melatonin’s production in the body (and not just the pineal gland!) and its unique presence in plants, its antioxidant superpowers, and its intricate relationship with circadian rhythms. We also explore practical tips for enhancing melatonin naturally, including dietary habits, lifestyle changes, and environmental cues, while busting common myths about supplementation and sleep.

If you’re curious about optimizing your health, aging well, and understanding how science and spirituality intersect inside your body, this episode is a must-listen. Share it with a friend, and don’t forget to subscribe for more eye-opening conversations like this one!
