  • 46: What you need to know about blood sugar and sleep

    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:

    • What happens when you’re on the blood sugar roller coaster.
    • How my client Peter’s sleep was affected by blood sugar.
    • The signs of low blood sugar and insulin resistance.
    • How blood sugar affects the brain.
    • How to balance your blood sugar for optimal sleep.
    • 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.

      You can get the sleep you need to feel rested, function at your best, and enjoy your life!

    • 45: How Andrew went from sleeping poorly since age 14 to sleeping great

      My client Andrew came to me after sleeping poorly for over 10 years, since he was 14 years old! It would take him 9 hours to get 5-6 hours of sleep.

      In the last year, his sleep deteriorated even more. He was only getting 4-5 hours a night and he was ready for a change. He also had stomach issues and worried about sleep all the time.

      In this episode, Andrew shares:

      • What his lab tests showed was going on in his body
      • The changes he made to improve his sleep
      • What was hardest for him and why he says it was worth it
      • How sleeping great now has improved his life
      • If Andrew can sleep better, you can too!

      • 42: How your gut affects everything else that causes insomnia

        An unhealthy gut is a major contributor to insomnia.

        However, it’s never the only reason why my clients can’t sleep.

        This is because an unhealthy gut causes other parts of the body to get out of balance. Then those imbalances contribute to insomnia, too.

        In this episode, you’ll learn how your gut affects everything else that causes insomnia, from hormones to blood sugar and more.

        To get better, you need to address all the imbalances that are keeping you awake. Once your body is back in balance, you’ll be able to sleep normally. It’s that simple!

        If you’re ready to get your body back in balance so you can sleep, I’m here for you.

        • 39: Why the sleep aids aren’t working: magnesium, melatonin, CBD and cannabis

          If you can’t sleep, I’m sure you’ve tried so many supplements to help. If you’re reading this, it’s likely that none of them have really worked.

        • 38: The 6 obstacles that are keeping you from sleeping

          There are obstacles getting in the way of a good night’s sleep for you.

          All you have to do is address each obstacle (in the correct order) and your health and sleep will improve.

          In this episode, you’ll learn all of the obstacles that could be sabotaging your sleep and the solution to fix each one.

          4. 37: Mold toxicity could be causing your insomnia

            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 week’s podcast episode and blog post, 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
            • To see the symptom clusters and the graphics explaining CIRS, go to https://www.thecompletesleepsolution.com/post/mold-toxicity-could-be-causing-your-insomnia.

              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!
