All of a sudden Matt couldn’t fall asleep anymore when he was 31 yrs old. The only thing that worked for him was a benzodiazepine, which he did not want to be on for the rest of his life. 

In this episode, my client Matt shares how uncovering hidden imbalances through testing, from neurotransmitter and mineral deficiencies to gut infections, helped him finally get his sleep back on track, even though his dad and grandmother have sleep issues too. 

His story is a powerful reminder that there is a root cause and a path to overcoming insomnia.
