The Sleep Detective podcast: why you can't sleep and how to fix it

If you can't sleep, your brain isn’t healthy. 

For a healthy brain, sleep is effortless. A healthy brain remembers things, thinks clearly and is excited about life. When there’s inflammation in your brain, it doesn’t function as it should. And you can't sleep. normally. 

In this episode, you'll learn: 

-symptoms of inflammation in the brain 

-what causes poor brain health 

-what part of the brain controls sleep and signs that it isn't working correctly 

-how to improve brain health so you can sleep normally 

When inflammation goes down and your gut is healthy, you’ll start sleeping normally and you’ll feel much better! 

This is possible for you even if you’ve been struggling to sleep for years, even if you’ve tried all kinds of other supplements, meds, and modalities and nothing has worked, even if you’ve worked with a doctor, psychiatrist, or naturopath. I know because it’s helped me personally and over a hundred of my clients.

Good sleep is possible for everyone!

Everything you do during the day determines how you'll sleep at night. 

If you're having trouble sleeping, either falling asleep or staying asleep, make sure you're doing all the right things to support a good night's rest. 

I'm giving you 10 tips (plus 5 extra bonuses) to do during the day so you sleep better tonight.

I also made a spreadsheet to track these habits so you can see how they affect your sleep and determine what helps. You can access it here and make a copy to fill it out.

If these things don’t help, that means you have underlying, hidden health issues that are keeping you from sleeping normally. 

One of the main reasons my clients can’t sleep is because of poor gut health (even if they don’t have digestive issues). I created a new offer, The Sleep Better Jumpstart program, to look specifically at gut health and other factors that are causing your insomnia.

If you can’t sleep, your body is in chaos! 

Your body wants to be in balance, but when it can’t handle all the stress it’s under, it gets completely out of balance and all the systems stop working optimally. 

In this episode, I explain the concept of "metabolic chaos" and why it is the sole, overarching reason why you can't sleep. 

You'll learn: 

To celebrate the new name of the podcast, I’m offering a new program that looks at gut health to pinpoint at least one reason why you can’t sleep.   

It’s called the Sleep Better Jumpstart program and it includes:

If you can't sleep, your gut isn't healthy. None of my clients I've worked with have a healthy gut, even if they don't have digestive symptoms. So looking at gut health is an important part of solving your insomnia.

The Sleep Better Jumpstart program is a 6-week dive into optimizing gut health to improve your sleep and overall health. 

I explain everything about the program in this episode.

The program includes: 

The program cost is $999 through Labor Day (regularly $1500).

Nutrition information is so confusing and contradictory! It's hard to know what we should be eating. 

As a nutritionist and functional health coach, I've figured out a simple way to find the diet that works best for each of my clients. It's based on my masters in nutrition, my understanding of Dr. Weston A Price's findings in the 1930's, and my experience working on an organic, biodynamic farm. 

In this episode, you'll learn: 

-a simple approach to diet and nutrition that isn't confusing.

 -what foods to focus on for good sleep and health.

 -if a plant-based or animal-based diet is right for you. 

-how traditional diets show us how we should eat today.

Your blood sugar could be affecting your sleep!

Even if you are a healthy weight and eat healthy. Keeping my blood sugar levels steady was a big piece of the puzzle for me. And it is for many of my clients, too.

I talked about how blood sugar affects our sleep and the signs of low blood sugar and insulin resistance in episode 46 so you want to listen to that episode, too.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

There are many pieces to the puzzle of what’s causing your insomnia and blood sugar is just one of them. I’ve created a program that looks at all the pieces so we don’t miss anything and so you can get the sleep you want to feel rested, full of energy, and ready for each day.

If you can’t sleep, there are likely imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake (see episode 94). I use 4 different functional lab tests to find these imbalances in my clients.
