MARTIN: Hi, everyone. Martin Pytela here for Life Enthusiast podcast. And with me today, Monica Leal.
MONICA: Hi Martin.
MARTIN: And Monica has got some really cool things to share with us today. So maybe, first of all. Monica, how did you even come to this?
MONICA: Well, I had really severe, debilitating insomnia for 25 years. Really bad. I mean, I tried all the usual stuff that usually works for most people. You know, the melatonin, the essential oils, the calcium-magnesium and all that stuff. And nothing really helped me. I mean, maybe a little here and there, but not really. I had PEMF mats, the best of the best. I had EMF protection, a lot of things that should have helped but didn’t. So I was continually on a quest to find something to fix my sleep because I was running on 3 to 4 hours of sleep every night. I mean, I was lucky if I got six, maybe once or twice a week. And usually that was because I had wine, which was not exactly a good solution. So it kind of backfired after a while.
MARTIN: Yeah. Insomnia, I tell you, that could be really debilitating for a person, right?
MONICA: Absolutely. And I was very disconcerted to learn that it is linked to a higher risk of just about every chronic disease, including dementia and cancer and brain cancer and obesity and all kinds of things. And I’m super organic health nut and I could not lose weight no matter what I did, no matter what diet. I tried everything, even raw vegan, vegan keto, keto, you name it. And it was all linked to my sleep. It was all linked to my sleep. The nights I got good sleep, which were rare, I’d lose a pound overnight. And the nights I didn’t sleep, I’d gain it right back. So it just didn’t help. And I don’t know, you probably can’t tell, but I’ve actually lost 20 pounds since the last time we talked, but all in the last three months. And it’s because I’ve been sleeping, not because I’m doing anything else different.
MARTIN: Well, it’s important to note that this business of the autonomic nervous system being either in the fight or flight or rest and repair, which would be sympathetic or parasympathetic is the basis of us living a decent life and if you’re stuck in the sympathetic awake, unable to, whatever,
MONICA: Exactly.
MARTIN: We’re actually wearing the body and we’re not repairing the body. And so that’s the physiology of it anyway.
MONICA: Yeah. And I took the herbs for excess cortisol because I knew I had the cortisol thing going on and the stress and stuck in the sympathetic nervous system. And I was getting chiropractic and I mean,
