You are exhausted by 8pm and wide awake by midnight. Your brain is racing, your body is restless, and the supplements that were supposed to help are sitting on your counter doing nothing. That wired but tired state is not a sleep problem. It is a systems problem — gut inflammation triggering anxiety, cortisol spiking at the wrong time, hormonal shifts flipping your sleep architecture overnight, and a nervous system that never got the message that it was safe to rest. Dr. Eric Dorninger connects all of those dots — the gut, the inflammation, the hormones, the nervous system — in a way that explains why treating each symptom separately keeps failing and what addressing the whole system actually looks like. What he shares about why steady oxygen and steady fuel are the most overlooked foundations of deep sleep and where to start today without overwhelming your body will be the clearest explanation you have ever heard for why you cannot sleep. Your body wants to rest. It just needs the right conditions. This episode helps you create them.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why inflammation can drive “physical anxiety” and racing thoughts
✨ How gut issues can trigger insomnia, 3AM wakeups, and restless sleep
✨ What “wired but tired” really means (cortisol + nervous system overload)

✨ The most overlooked basics that change everything: steady oxygen + steady fuel
