When it come to ADHD there isn't a simple solution - nutrition, psychology and genetics can all play a role.

But what about SLEEP?  

It's actually a HUGE piece of the puzzle - and its about a lot more than just getting to bed on time.

Dr Shirazi joins me today on the Project and brings a whole new perspective on what could be behind some really challenging behaviors. It also is a huge piece of the puzzle for adults, especially if metabolism, hormone balance and metabolism are also part of your struggles.  There is so much good in this episode. I can't wait for you to listen.

The Wellness Restoration Project is BACK and I'm headed into big new territory.

First and foremost, we're going to talk straight about WEIGHT.

How the paradigm we've been operating under of energy in =energy out is tragically flawed and how intimately connected our weight is with our hormones. 

This is just the beginning. There is SO much more I am excited to teach you.

Here's a few of the articles I reference:

The beautiful article I quote from Lauren Slater https://www.self.com/story/fat-and-happy

An article about the review that was just published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition https://apple.news/AJHwFEAKdRz-kmY_PyfG3oQ

And a link to my instagram where I'd love to connect, answer your questions and hear from you.

How is your sleep?

Do you fall asleep easily?

Do you stay asleep all night?

Do you feel rested when you wake in the morning?

Do you sleep peacefully? (bad or vivid dreaming, restless leg, night sweats?)

Do you get 7-9 hours of sleep a night?

If you answered  NO to any of the above questions then even if your not experiencing any emotional or external stressors - sleep deprivation creates all sorts of havoc

On your hormones

your insulin levels

your body's ability to repair and restore itself

your blood pressure

your energy

your concentration

even how quickly you age!

Getting a regularly good nights sleep really helps everything. 

And this episode is all about some great herbs that can help.

I love this bright, cheery little flower – coming to full bloom at the height of the summer when days are the longest. It manages to bloom just in time to capture the power of long sunlit days in its leaves and flowers which we then get to infuse into extracts, powders and oils to help support depression, the nervous system and so much more. 

I also love how it helps so many people really feel better without the side effects. If certain people are having a particularly rough day I will leave a bottle on the counter or make a batch of tea as a subtle hint. It's why we lovingly refer to it as the "Stop being a jerk herb".

 Hope you enjoy this episode and learning more about this fascinating herb!

You've probably heard the old adage - You are what you Eat.  But the real truth is that you are what you DIGEST. 

So how is your digestion? 

No seriously!

If you are struggling with digestive symptoms, even if your diet is top notch, squeaky clean and on point, weak digestion means you aren't getting a lot of the benefits from the food you are eating.

Today's episode is a quick and helpful primer on key foods, nutrients and of course, herbs that make a BIG difference!

The full article will be up on the blog as www.shelleyswapp.com later this week, if you'd like more individualized help jump on my calendar and lets find some time to chat!

There's an old saying that when "mama ain't happy, nobody is happy".. but I have often found the reverse to be even more true. When parenting includes all the normal ups and downs AND you throw in the challenges that come with mental health issues for anyone in the family, things can get tricky fast.

Cheryl Cardall is a coach and advocate for teens with mental health challenges and their mom's. Along with sharing some of her best resources, Shelley & Cheryl also explore how taking care of yourself as a parent is one of the best ways you can show up and be a powerful force for good for those you care for.
