    Client Testimonial

    My client Andrew said:

    “I go to bed at the time that my body tells me to, and wake up when my body wants me to wake up. I sleep like 7 hours a night, which is pretty normal. And that’s actually been something that surprised me. Once my body got the sleep that it needed, I noticed I was sleeping a little bit more than I thought I needed.”

    If you can’t sleep, you have 5 options for getting better. Many of these options are Band-aids and most of them don’t get to the root of the problem.

    In this episode, I go over all of your options and talk about what works and what doesn’t and why.

    “​​The content you send out each week is phenomenal and I've never experienced a more comprehensive sleep program that addresses every underlying issue that could be causing sleep problems. Now that it has been six months, I do find my anxiety around sleep is much better, I am almost off of my Unisom…I feel lighter and more vibrant with the food I'm eating.”

    A healthy body sleeps well. If you have trouble sleeping, it’s a sign that your body isn’t healthy. Even if you feel healthy. Even if you live a healthy lifestyle.

    If you can’t sleep normally, there are things going on in your body and your mind that are keeping you awake at night.

    I work with clients who have tried many different things to help them sleep: melatonin, magnesium, CBD, herbs, sleeping pills, Tylenol PM, sleep trackers, a new mattress, essential oils, a cooling pad, etc. and nothing really worked.

    If this sounds like you, there are several reasons why these things haven’t improved your sleep. Find out what they are in this episode!

    My client Andrey said:

    “I’m not 100% percent with everything, but I couldn’t imagine that I was going to feel like this. Honestly. Before your program, my cortisol was elevated when it wasn’t supposed to be. We did a mold test, and that came back elevated. I had a previous test done, which you accepted, and that was off. It’s a whole slew of things that traditional medicine doesn’t even test for, which is crazy to me.”

    Show Notes

    One of the most common causes of insomnia is high cortisol. 

    Cortisol should be low at night so you can fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night. 

    But if you can’t sleep, cortisol and other stress hormones are probably high at night. 

    In this episode, you'll find out: 

    • what hidden health imbalances can make your body release cortisol at night 

    • which tests identify what's causing high cortisol in your body 

    • what genes cause your body to hold onto stress hormones at night 

    • how to know if you have these genes and how to deal with them

    • We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

      My client Burton said:

      "Before working with you, I was having trouble falling asleep and would stay up way too late. I also had trouble with waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep. I was alternating between Trazadone, Xanax, Advil Pm and tart cherry juice to sleep.

      Now I'm able to fall asleep on a consistent basis with a bedtime routine that Martha came up with without drugs. I can usually fall back asleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. It's a huge accomplishment to not need sleeping pills anymore. YAY!!

      The whole experience was great. It was interesting to learn about gut health and how it relates to my sleep.

      I used to be hesitant about going to sleep because it was hard for me to fall asleep in general unless I took a sleeping pill! Now I feel much more confident about sleep. I'm not as groggy as when I wake up from a sleeping pill. I'm also going to bed at a reasonable time. I'm more healthy overall. I'm eating a better diet and drinking less alcohol."

      People wonder if their sleep issues are genetic because their mom or dad or sister or brother also has insomnia.

      The truth is, your genes do play a role in your sleep.

      In this podcast episode, you’ll learn:

      • Why genes are not your destiny

      • What really matters when it comes to genes and sleeping

      • A genetic testing alternative

      • Genes that lead to insomnia

      • I know it can feel like you’ve tried everything, but we really need to look at everything going on in the body, mind, and genes. And if you haven’t taken the big picture, whole health approach, you haven’t tried anything like the Complete Sleep Solution.

        We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

        My client Maura said:

        “I love just having a plan. It wasn’t just ‘here’s your prescription and that’s all I got for you.’ Instead, it was ‘ok, we’re going to work together for this amount of time’ and slowly we added supplements. And once those were done working, we slowly took them away. And just having the support as well. If I needed to email you, you answered right away. Finally having someone in my court made me feel like I wasn’t in this alone. It was very helpful to know I had a team. I weaned off meds after 2 months. I was able to come off. I’m now sleeping 7-8 hours a night on average, and I’m feeling a lot better.”

        Mold toxicity is an overlooked and common cause of sleep issues. You could be living in mold and not even know it because it isn't always visible. Or you could have been exposed to mold in the past and your body hasn’t been able to detoxify it properly.

        It’s estimated that 75% of homes have water damage. And 25% of the population has a gene that puts them at risk for developing CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) when they’re exposed to mold. This syndrome causes many symptoms in many different systems in the body.

        I have 6 clients with mold toxicity and whose sleep is getting better as we deal with it!

        In this podcast episode, I’m talking all about mold:

        • How mold affects sleep

        • What CIRS is and the symptoms

        • The 4 steps for dealing with mold

        • How to deal with mold in your body and in your environment

        • While mold can cause many symptoms and severe sickness, it’s relatively simple to deal with once you know it’s there. If you can’t sleep and you have other weird symptoms, mold could be the culprit. And I can help you with this so you feel better and can sleep normally!

          Heavy metals could be causing your sleep problems.

          I’ve seen this recently in many of my clients. They have high levels of mercury, aluminum, copper, lead and arsenic as well as others.

          In this episode, you’ll find out:

          • What heavy metals are and how they get into our bodies

          • How heavy metals affect the body and your sleep

          • How to test for heavy metals

          • Why it’s important not to overlook heavy metals if you can’t sleep

          • If you've done other testing and haven’t solved your sleep problem, this could be the missing test. You can address gut health, hormone balance and everything else, but if you also have heavy metal toxicity then you won’t get better.

            We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.
