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.

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