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

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