Client Testimonial

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.
