Client Testimonial

My client Jim said:

“Before working with you I was waking up for 2-3 hours during the night.  I also had an upset stomach and my energy level was good but not as good as it was in the past.

My sleep has improved overall.  I’m still waking up during the night but I go back to sleep faster. I do feel I get a deeper sleep and I feel more rested, a noticeable improvement in comparison prior to working with you. Also, my stomach feels better and my energy level is much better.  Anxiety over the simplest things have diminished greatly.  Now I can better identify and handle stressful situations.

I liked that you're very good at listening to any symptoms that I was experiencing and compassionate about those symptoms. You're knowledgeable on the tests and on the many products that are available to relieve/resolve a person's issues.

It's been good working with you!”

Mineral imbalances can cause insomnia.

You hear about vitamins all the time, but you rarely hear about the importance of minerals for health and sleep. All of my clients have some sort of mineral imbalance which makes sense since they aren’t sleeping well.

In this episode you'll learn:

I have all my clients do an easy Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test so we can see what’s going on with their minerals that’s affecting their sleep. If you focus on your gut or your hormones but you don’t address mineral imbalances like copper toxicity, you won’t fully get over your insomnia.

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

Client Testimonial

My client Jesse said:

“On a macro level, my sleep has improved. It’s not perfect. It’s not where I ultimately want it to be, but it is certainly light years ahead of where it was several months ago. I now wake up in the middle of the night occasionally, rather than frequently. I sometimes wake up earlier than I would like to, so I don’t always feel super refreshed, but it’s significantly better than it used to be. There’s less of just dragging through the day. That’s given me reason to be optimistic that I can continue to improve, because so far I’ve seen an upward trajectory.”

Show Notes

Your liver could be causing your insomnia.

Many of my clients have an unhealthy liver and it’s keeping them awake at night.

That’s because the liver is most active between 1 and 3am. If it has more toxins than it can handle then those toxins circulate around causing lots of inflammation. Your body releases cortisol to deal with the inflammation which wakes you right up!

Client Success

My client Teresa just slept the past 3 nights without sleep meds. Her insomnia started in July 2021, completely out of the blue. She never had sleep issues before. She had dealt with anxiety though, for a lot of her life. But then all of a sudden, she was only able to sleep 3-5 hours a night. She ended up getting on sleep meds, because she was desperate for more sleep. We ran 4 functional lab tests on Teresa, and it showed that she had copper toxicity through the roof. She also had depleted sex hormones, a parasite in her gut, high candida, liver detox issues, and high cortisol at night. Only 4 months after we started working together, she stopped the sleep medication and is now sleeping well. 

Show Notes

Every single one of my clients has hormone imbalances. Some are too high, some are too low. But either way, they can’t sleep and their hormones are a big part of the problem.

In this episode I talk about:

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

My client Samantha dealt with insomnia for 10 years. 

She would see a functional doctor, get supplements that temporarily helped her, and find herself dealing with sleep issues again months later. It was like a nightmare roller coaster. 

Insomnia caused her to take leave from her medical job and miss out on family events, which is what led her to find the Sleep Detective podcast. 

After working together, Samantha is now sleeping 7-9 hours a night most nights and she has more energy and mental clarity than she’s had in a long time. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

We can help you get 7-9 hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep - just like Samantha.

My client David said:

"I contacted Martha during the fall of 2020 and at that point in time sleep was a very difficult process in my life. Today I can proudly say 'The combination of changes in life events and the results from Martha’s help have truly turned my life around.' Martha’s knowledge on testing and then applying it to the proper supplements is worth its weight in Gold!"

My client Peter said:

“What I really liked about working with you is…it’s all based on data. I check-in with my doctor every 6 months, and we have been for years. A number of things came up in your tests that we didn’t know about. One of the most important was insulin resistance.”

Show Notes

Keeping your blood sugar steady is critical to sleeping well!

If you wake up in the middle of the night, there’s a good chance it’s because your blood sugar levels aren’t healthy. This can happen even if you eat healthy and avoid sugar and carbs.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

If you have blood sugar issues and you aren’t sleeping, your body isn’t healthy. The only way to get better is to find everything that’s causing stress in your body and mind and correct them. You want to look at gut health, hormone balance, minerals, food sensitivities, mental stress and more.

Diet, exercise and random supplements aren’t enough to get back in balance so you can sleep normally. I use functional lab tests to find what’s going on in your body that’s causing your sleep issues so we know what to correct.

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

Client Testimonial

My client Adam said:

“Before working with you, I was constantly waking up through the night and often could not go back to sleep. I was excited to get some help.

I have learned that I (and most of my family) are gluten intolerant, (that was hard to take at first but has been a real help in my diet), I learned some mental tricks about sleep that help me, learned some behavioral problems. I also had a gut parasite and imbalance that once was fixed I now feel much better as far as general health.I liked your attention to my physical health in all of the tests we did. I found that the food sensitivity test was particularly helpful.I now sleep through the night, I still wake up often but that is because of my CPAP, but I am almost always able to go back to sleep and I feel more rested throughout the day.Thanks again for all your help, I really am happy that we went down the road, as hard as it was to hear some of the bad news, it has really helped me and my family.”

Client Testimonial

My client Emily said:

"Right from the start your program helped me to sleep. When I contacted you I had been going 5-7 days without sleeping and my entire body was failing because of it. There seemed to be no hope, no prescription, no "cure". I am constantly referring to others to the immediate success I had working with you and how the lab tests legitimately found the imbalances in my body which were causing my sleep issues so I was able to keep improving. I am just so grateful to have started your program and will be able to use what I learned as a stepping stone to continue to keep up my health."

My client David said:

“I cannot tell you what an amazing feeling it is to be able to fall asleep pretty quickly at night, and then fall back asleep in the middle of the night, and wake up actually feeling rested. I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling really rested and not being on some form of medication.

Does your monkey mind keep you awake at night?

Either you can’t fall asleep or you wake up with your mind racing?

It’s not your fault!

Your ruminating thoughts might seem like a mental problem but it’s not all in your head. There are true physiological reasons why you can’t control your thoughts.

In this episode, you’ll learn the 4 main reasons why you have a racing mind that’s keeping you awake at night.

You’ll see that your mind isn't racing because you aren't meditating enough or because you don’t know how to control your brain. Physical imbalances are causing your mental symptoms. Therapy gives you great tools to try to manage anxious thoughts but it won’t help you get to the root of why this is happening

The only way to calm your racing mind without medication is to find out what’s causing it and correct it. That’s exactly what we can help you with. 

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