  • 56: Is serotonin deficiency causing your insomnia?

    Serotonin is our “happy” neurotransmitter because it helps us enjoy life. Many of my clients are deficient in serotonin and it’s affecting their sleep and mood. Serotonin deficiency directly affects sleep because your body is supposed to convert serotonin to melatonin, which regulates your sleep cycle.

    The reason you don’t have enough serotonin is because your body isn’t healthy. In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • The symptoms of serotonin deficiency
    • 5 imbalances that cause serotonin deficiency
    • How to find out if you don’t have enough serotonin
    • If you can’t sleep and you’ve tried what seems like everything, there are underlying health issues that are keeping you awake. On October 4th at 1pm ET, you’ll learn the top 5 hidden causes of insomnia in my Why You Can’t Sleep masterclass!

      This masterclass is for you if:

      • You have trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, or you wake up too early in the morning.
      • You’ve been struggling to sleep for months, years or since childhood.
      • You’ve tried many things to improve your sleep: supplements, avoiding screens before bed, sleep trackers, gadgets, sleep meds.
      • Your bloodwork is “normal” and your doctor hasn’t helped.
      • Nothing else has worked but you don’t want to give up.
      • You will learn in this interactive masterclass:

        • The imbalances in your body that could be keeping you awake
        • How your gut, hormones and more can sabotage your sleep
        • How to find the root cause of your insomnia and correct it so you can sleep better soon

        • 55: 3 Reasons Why You Can't Sleep

          Sleep issues weren’t a thing 200 years ago. Humans used to sleep an average of 8 ½ hours a night; now we average 7 ½ hours.

          This isn’t surprising considering how much has changed in the past 150 years. There are 3 reasons why we have a hard time sleeping today that I explain in this episode.

          In the Complete Sleep Solution, I address all 3 of these reasons to find everything that’s keeping you awake at night.

        • 54: Should you use sleep trackers (Fitbit, Oura ring, Apple watch, etc.)?

          Many of my clients ask me if I recommend that they track their sleep. In this episode, I give the pros and cons of tracking your sleep so you can decide what's best for you.

          I can help you find the root cause of your insomnia whether you track your sleep or not! You don’t have to live with insomnia anymore.

        • 53: 5 Ways Birth Control Sabotages Your Sleep

          The “pill” and other forms of birth control destroy your sleep and your health. In this episode I explain why.


          The first step to sleeping better is to get off birth control. The next step is to work with me so I can find why your hormones are out of balance and help you get them back in balance so you can sleep normally and feel great, even during your period.

        • 52: Why the basic sleep advice and sleep hygiene don’t work

          If you Google "how to sleep better" you'll find the same tips:

          • don't watch screens before bed
          • don't drink caffeine past 2 p.m.
          • follow a relaxing bedtime routine
          • exercise everyday
          • etc.

          • These tips don't work for most people with chronic insomnia and I explain why in this episode.

          • 51: Are your sleep issues genetic?

            Many of my clients have family members who also have sleep issues. And so they think that their insomnia is genetic.


            In this episode I'm going to explain how much our genes play a role in our sleep.


            Just because your parents or other family members suffer from insomnia doesn’t mean that you have to!


            The way to get over sleep issues is to

            1.  Find out what’s out of balance in your body
            2. Address those things and restore your health so you can sleep normally.

            3. This is exactly what I help my clients with every day.

            4. 50: How to keep your brain from sabotaging your sleep

              There are two parts of your brain that battle each other.

              One part (the prefrontal cortex) wants you to sleep better. The other part (your primal brain) doesn’t.

              In this episode, you’ll learn about these two parts of the brain, how your primal brain sabotages your sleep,  and why it’s so hard to make changes that will help you sleep better.

              My client ML just went to Ireland and wrote, “I was so nervous about sleeping in various hotels in a different time zone. I did great and slept really well. Each night I slept between 7-8 hours. My anxiety about sleep is so much better.” We’ve only been working together for a month and she’s already seeing improvement, not just in her sleep but also in how she thinks about sleep.

              This is possible for you, too! At the Complete Sleep Solution, we help you rewire your brain so you can sleep better soon.

            5. 49: How heavy metals can cause insomnia

              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.

                In this week’s episode of The Insomnia Fix, I give you a simple exercise to help with worry and fear.


                The talk about a possible recession sparked me to share this exercise with you because I know that changes in the economy can cause worry and anxiety.

                And if you want help with your sleep, I’m here for you. I help with mental stress such as worrying about the economy. And I use lab testing to find what’s physically causing your insomnia.

              • 47: How Mineral Imbalances Can Cause Insomnia

                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:

                • how different mineral imbalances affect sleep
                • how to test for mineral balance
                • why you don't want to overlook minerals if you can't sleep
                • 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.

                  I help my clients find out what’s causing their insomnia and give them a plan to fix it so they can live rested, happier and healthier lives!
