Ever since I learned about life coaching a few years ago, it has changed every aspect of my life, from my relationships to my business to my health and sleep.

In this episode I’m interviewing my life coach Stephanie Spinelli who is now also a part of my team working with clients in the Complete Sleep Solution.

We talk about our experience with life coaching and the impact it’s had on us.

We talk about the difference between life coaching and therapy.

And we talk about who life coaching is for and how it will help our clients sleep better.

If you have anxiety, if you have a lot of stress in your life, if you’re an entrepreneur, Stephanie can help you calm your nervous system so you can sleep better and live your best life.

I also talked about life coaching in Episode 70: A powerful way to rewire your brain to sleep better so check out that episode to learn about a specific tool we use in life coaching.

One of the questions I get asked the most is “Why do I wake up at 3am?” Or 2 or 4am?

So many people wake up at the same time each night like clockwork. This happened to me, too! From working with almost 100 clients, I’ve found there are 3 common reasons why this is happening.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

If you’re waking up in the middle of the night most nights, it’s likely that at least one if not all three of these issues are the culprit.

The only way to know for sure is to test.

That’s why the Complete Sleep Solution program includes 4 functional lab tests that identify exactly what’s keeping you awake at night.

It’s testing, not guessing so that we know what to address and you get better as quickly as possible.

Summary of the episode:

Cortisol is an anti-inflammatory hormone and so if you have inflammation in the middle of the night, your body will release cortisol which will wake you up.

The 3 most common reasons why you wake up at 3am:

You can find more in-depth info about:

There can be other underlying health issues that cause you to wake up at night such as hormone imbalance, mineral deficiencies, mold toxicity and heavy metals.

I also mentioned and recommend the Keto-mojo for a glucose and ketone monitor.

I wake up almost every night to pee and then go right back to sleep. But when I wasn’t sleeping well, I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep for hours.

Waking up in the night and not being able to fall back asleep is so frustrating! I remember lying in bed feeling so desperate because I was so frigging tired but I couldn’t sleep no matter what I did.

While I help my clients with underlying health imbalances that affect sleep, there are also some things you can try to fall back asleep more quickly.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

If these tips don't help most of the time, then there are hidden health issues that are keeping you awake.

In the Complete Sleep Solution program, we use functional lab testing to find those physical imbalances.

And we make sure your mind doesn’t sabotage your sleep with stress and anxiety.

It’s the only natural body and mind program that gets to the root of why you can’t sleep.

If nothing else has worked, it’s time to get to the root of the problem.

Summary of the episode:

6 things to do:

3 things not to do:

Inflammation is a main cause of insomnia. That’s because when there’s inflammation, your body releases cortisol because it’s an anti-inflammatory hormone. When your body releases cortisol at night, you feel wired (even though you’re exhausted) and you can’t sleep.

One of the main contributors to inflammation is the food we eat. Refined sugar, alcohol, processed foods and vegetable oils cause inflammation in your body. There’s another food in particular that causes inflammation in almost all of my clients.

If you can't sleep, it's likely that this food is affecting your sleep, too.

There’s good stress and there’s bad stress. And there’s hormetic stress, the kind of stress that makes you stronger (such as exercise).

If you can’t sleep, your body is already stressed. So there are activities that we think are healthy that you shouldn’t be doing if you aren’t sleeping well.

My client Jesse came to me after struggling to sleep for 6 years. It started during a stressful time in his life but he still was waking up and not feeling rested even though he was in a good place mentally. He tried trazadone and many natural remedies. He didn't want to be on drugs and the supplements never worked for long.

As an entrepreneur, his lack of sleep was affecting his work and life and he wanted to be mentally sharper.

Through the lab testing, I found many imbalances in his body that were contributing to his insomnia:

We worked together for 6 months correcting these imbalances and getting him to a healthy state. Now he's sleeping better than he has in years. He still wakes up in the night occasionally but way less often. And he's feeling much more rested most days. And his improved sleep has continued even with travel, the holidays and eating the foods he loves.

He recently wrote, "I'm sleeping better than I have in years. I'm grateful to be her client!"

This is possible for you, too!

The medical system can’t help you with insomnia.

This is because insomnia is caused by imbalances in your body. Your body isn’t totally healthy if you can’t sleep normally. (Even if you eat well and exercise and care about your health.)

Building health and fixing disease are two different things.

In this week’s episode of The Insomnia Fix, I explain why the medical system can’t solve your insomnia AND what can!

If you’re ready to get over your insomnia for good by finding the root cause, we can help.

My team member Deb suffered from mold toxicity and spent many frustrating nights awake and exhausted because of it. She healed herself and her family after becoming trained in functional lab testing and health coaching.

During her journey, she learned some exercises that made a huge difference in her health. In fact, at a recent checkup her doctor kept checking her heart and she was scared that something was wrong!

Instead, he was amazed that her heart rate was 10-15 beats less on her exhale. This means that she is in a calm state and responds to stress very well. She knew that she was feeling calmer and less reactive, but she was amazed that her doctor noticed physical improvements as well.

Her doctor didn’t know what was responsible for her calm state until she told him-it was the exercise Deb and I talk about in this episode!

If you’ve tried what seems like everything and you still can’t sleep, that’s because there are imbalances in the body that are keeping you awake. The Complete Sleep Solution program uses lab testing to find what those imbalances are and gives you a plan to correct them so you can sleep normally. It’s the only way to permanently restore your health so you can sleep well.

Each one of us has a different body clock or circadian rhythm that’s based on genetics. While the 10pm-6am sleep schedule is most common, it’s true that there are night owls and early birds who are wired with different circadian rhythms.

Many of my clients have a messed up circadian rhythm which means their body clock is off. They feel sleepy during the day or in the early afternoon. But then when it’s time to go to bed, they’re wide awake even though they’re exhausted.

In this video, you'll learn:

-the 2 reasons your body clock is messed up

how to use light therapy to reset your body clock

-how cortisol affects your circadian rhythm

-why cortisol is high at night, affecting your sleep

My team and I at the Complete Sleep Solution can help you reset your circadian rhythm so you can sleep normally. We use functional lab testing to find out what’s causing stress and inflammation in your body. (Functional lab testing shows how the different systems in your body are working so we know what to fix, kind of like how a car mechanic plugs your engine into the diagnostic machine to see what’s wrong.) Then we give you a plan to reduce that stress and inflammation so you can fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night.

Many people tell me that they can’t sleep because of anxiety. Their anxiety is what’s keeping them awake at night.

And some you have been told by your doctors/psychiatrists that your insomnia and anxiety are all in your head.

I disagree.

I think that what’s causing your anxiety is also causing your insomnia. It’s not all in your head.
