#8: Sleep Challenges in the LGBTQ Community

Suresh Ramdas works as an LGBTQ+ advocate for inclusion in the corporate space. As an out gay man, he is also the winner of Mr. Gay India 2019. With 14+ years of total experience in Customer Support and in the space of Diversity & Inclusion, he is also the co-Founder of "Working With Pride" (WWP) group. After completing the LGBTQ Executive Leadership Program from Stanford University and being a certified Diversity Professional and certified NLP Practitioner, he co-facilitated a leadership program called Leading With Pride (LWP) for the LGBTQ+ community people that helps to build leaders for tomorrow. He is featured as 2019's OUTstanding 50 LGBT+ Future Leader. We are talking with Suresh about his deeply personal story of coming out as a gay, and sleep challenges within the LGBTQ community. This episode is also great for you if you want to break the barriers of beliefs and truly embrace every single person out there, in that true direction of inclusivity. We are so excited to have him with us today.

We are talking with Suresh about sleep challenges in the LGBTQ Community. Research has found that individuals with a different sexual orientation than heterosexuals have major impact on sleep and much higher risk for sleep challenges. Listen to this episode to really understand how sexuality can impact so much in your life. If you take acceptance for granted, take a listen.

In this episode, we dive into:

"Sleep Challenges in the LGBTQ Community"

• Suresh's story journey of coming out and embracing being a gay.
• Discrimination, stigma, rejection and bullying are common experiences in the LGBTQ community. These are all common challenges that affect sleep. Stress can impact someone deeply. Did Suresh go through any really challenging times where he felt ostracised or rejected?
• Challenges with sleep in the LGBTQ community includes difficulty falling asleep several times a week, staying asleep through the night and short sleep usually no more than six hours. All of this falls under insomnia. What did Suresh struggle with?
• A study found that the LGBTQ community had a higher tendency to take medication to fall asleep. Is this true?
• Let's talk about anxiety, depression and mental illness. Clearly, while many things have changed socially, we might still be far away from where we would like to be. What has Suresh observed regarding anxiety and depression and how do individuals cope? Are there systems set up as part of a support group which addresses things like poor sleep and mental illness?
• A major trigger for stress, anxiety and sleep issues among the LGBTQ community seems to the stress at home. What are some of the challenges faced at home for someone beginning with just understanding their sexual orientation and right up to when they can move away or be accepted at home? Does it feel safe?
• While the risks of sleep disorder and interlinked stress and anxiety is high among LGBTQ, supporting better sleep still goes back to developing good sleep hygiene, healthy habits, reducing stress, limiting screen time, having a space that feels safe and creating a strong support system. Yet, I can understand how some of this takes a back seat, when someone is dealing with so much. How do individuals try to support their health, sleep and stress reduction in the LGBTQ community?
• What is one practice that supports coping with stress and improving sleep, and how do you ensure that it stays a priority?

We are talking with Dr Maya about hygiene hypothesis, microbiome, dirt cure and sleep. This episode is filled with great information from a doctor as well as a mother. If you struggle with your child's health or your own, this is the episode that you need. We are so excited to have her with us today. This episode is also great for you if you have a child who keeps getting sick all the time, or if you succumb to infections all the time. Is your poor sleep also contributing to low immune function? What does the health of your microbiome have to do with your sleep? This is a show that every parent should listen to!

This episode shatters the horrendous aspect of gaslighting a mother for having instincts about her child. Its time to listen to your inner voice and be the best champion for you and your child.

In this episode, we dive into:

"Hygiene Hypothesis, Dirt Cure, Microbiome and Sleep"

• Dr Maya's story of being ignored by the medical fraternity in spite of being a doctor herself and how that led to her authoring the brilliant book, The Dirt Cure
• What is the hygiene hypothesis, the microbiome and the dirt cure?
• If there is a history of excessive antibiotic usage and antacid usage, the microbiome has less diversity and less bacteria. This does put immunity at some risk. Why are we seeing so much of this?
• What is happening within the microbiome of someone who is hyper clean versus someone who has a robust microbiome?
• What are some of the sleep challenges that you are witnessing today? Is this linked to the microbiome?
• Dr Maya's work is the intersection between cutting edge science as a board certified Paediatric Neurologist and a fascination for Earth medicine and everything magical and symbolic. How does she bring in both these approaches into looking at someone with microbiome dysbiosis, sleep challenges and neurological impact.
• How can someone heal from the inside out with the dirt cure?
• What is her personal practice of earth medicine?

The Sleep Whisperer helps you end your confusion about sleep and provides the proper tools to positively impact your body and mind with better sleep. These tools will not only help you take charge of your sleep, they will help you take charge of your life.

Sleep is the missing piece in healthcare today. It has great potential to change the health journey. This show is about helping people understand sleep, the root causes of poor sleep and how poor sleep has different root causes for different people. The Sleep Whisperer also gives you a better understanding of nutrition and cooking for better sleep, explores sleep therapies and so much more.

Do you feel like you have so much to achieve in the world, but just don't have the energy that is required to do so? Are you someone who struggles with severe digestive challenges that drains you of whatever energy you do have? Do you suffer from anxiety that keeps you awake at night? The Sleep Whisperer can help.

If you're struggling with poor sleep or if you're a healthcare practitioner wanting to support your clients and patients with deeper information about sleep, you'll learn a system-based approach built with functional medicine and ancient wisdom.

We are moving towards challenging times financially, physiologically and emotionally. There are so many scary statistics out there about sleep and these trying times are going to impact sleep globally even more.

Did you know that from 1942 to 2013, the number of hours of average sleep went down by 13-15%? That one in three adults do not get adequate sleep? That over 100000 deaths are attributed to medical negligence caused by inadequate sleep? That 20% of all car crashes and accidents are attributed to poor sleep? That more than 70 million people suffer from some form of sleep disorder, and this number could be alarmingly more in areas that we do not know, and this number continues to rise in today's world? That 90% of those suffering from chronic sleep deprivation have a greater risk for chronic health challenges? That millions of people worldwide take prescription drugs to fall asleep and have the potential danger of getting addicted to them? That frequent use of sleep medication has been linked to greater mortality rates?

With so much changing, it's all the more important that we prioritize sleep. This podcast is a bridging of the East and West in every way. It brings together the cutting edge science of functional medicine from the West and ancient wisdom of the East. We also bring guests from the East and the West, in an attempt to connect globally in unison, during these trying times.

This show will bring you information across genres, coming together with the importance of sleep. As an example, you might learn something as required for your corporate life as managing time zones from a highly successful corporate head. You may also learn about the proper foods to eat to soothe a woman's hormones for better sleep.

The Sleep Whisperer will cover a variety of the struggles and solutions of poor sleep, such as:

You want to be more alert, focused, creative and initiative driven, but a sudden night of terrible sleep occurs just before a major presentation and destroys that focus.

You think you have tried every possible sleep gimmick out there but nothing works for you.

You have started to believe that poor sleep is a part of who you are and it will never ever change for the better.

You are constantly challenged by infections of every kind that spiral you into a loop of medication, digestive destruction and deep anxiety.

You want to be more happy in your life with your family, but the continuous lack of sleep is making you frequently weepy or angry.

You have an excessive appetite and eat a lot of the wrong kinds of food because your body is forever trying to compensate for the lack of energy from poor sleep.

You struggle with hormonal imbalance that makes you suffer from acne, mood swings and weight gain, because your body is just plain out of whack,

You are battling against numbing anxiety and even deeper depression because your brain feels tired,

You are a mom who just snaps at your child all day long, but know deep within yourself that it's just not right to do so,

You are struggling with symptoms of early menopause that is affecting your mood, libido and energy, yet physiologically you should not be in this phase for a few more years,

You are not enjoying the relationship with your partner, physically or emotionally, and this is hurting you deeply,

You feel constant fatigue but nothing seems to change that,

You want to live a great life and know that you have great potential, but you just cannot find a way for your body to support that,

You think that you are meant to suffer this way forever, because you just see no other way beyond this.
