The Sleep Detective podcast: what causes insomnia and how to fix it

If you’ve been struggling to sleep for a while, you’ve probably tried lots of different things to try to figure it out. 

In this episode, I share the most common traps that even the smartest people fall into during their sleep journey. 

But don’t worry, because if you have fallen into these traps, I also share in this episode how you can get yourself out of them.

You are meant to sleep well, and this episode will show you how.

Client Testimonial

My client Andrea said:

“After 2 years of terrible pain, it’s hard to even stand up from the couch type pain, to have it just be gone is so amazing. I can’t even put it into words. If anyone out there is dealing with a similar thing to me, don’t wait. Get help as quick as possible. I wasted 2 years of my life trying to figure this out and my kids are so young that I feel like I wasted 2 years that I could have been spending more time with them, and just not having this be a problem. So, get help, whatever that looks like for you, as soon as you can.”

Client Testimonial

“You are a genius, and a true lifesaver!...I have been sleeping since Sunday.  I wake up, but I am still groggy and I fall back to sleep. Not perfect, but way better than I have been used to.  It's night and day. I know I might still have some challenges with some of the other results, but these last days were paradise!  I have been running a marathon with a ball and chain on my leg, and for this week it's free!  Just wanted to update you! Thank you, I have full faith I will be sleeping effortlessly and normally.

I have tried so many things over the last 25 years, I have so many tools that didn't work. I have seen maybe 8-10 professionals.  If it were the "placebo" I would have thought myself better with one of those certainly. 

I am filled with so much gratitude and appreciation for you and what you have uncovered to help me. I look forward to following the full program as I still need to fine tune and eliminate any other obstacles from a good night!  All this in 1 30 minute phone call and some questionnaires!”
