On today’s episode, we talk with the renowned Dr. Andrea Matsumura about her expertise in the many sleep and menopause issues women face. Dr Matsumura created the D.R.E.A.M. Sleep Method™, DREAM standing for Daily Habits, Resting Environment, Emotions, Archetype of the Sleep Goddess, and Medical Conditions. The Sleep Goddess Archetype™ is also her creation, and with it she’s redefining how women understand and optimize their natural rhythms for better sleep and long-term health. She became certified in menopause care through The Menopause Society after seeing so many of her female patients struggle with sleep issues.
