Along with hot flashes, sleep challenges in midlife and menopause can take a toll on your well-being. If you have struggled with sleep in midlife you know firsthand that the lack of sleep makes normal daily tasks feel very taxing. As if that weren’t enough, the anxiety of not being able to sleep takes the exhaustion to the next level. 

If getting a good night’s sleep feels hopeless, I invite you to join me and my guest this week, Dr. Leigha Saunders ND. Leigha is a naturopathic sleep doctor who understands the struggle of insomnia and is passionate about helping women in midlife regain the sleep they need to navigate this very demanding season. There is a lot that happens in menopause that is entirely outside of our control, but Leigha will help us refocus our tired and fuzzy brains on what we CAN do to ditch the habits that aren’t helping and retrain our bodies to prepare for good sleep each night, even in the middle of the hormone soup of midlife!
