There are tons of great tips out there making waves for improving your sleep quality. Many of these tips are life-changing. But for some people, sleeping in a cooler, darker, tech-free room, might not be enough.

I have to say, I was absolutely floored when I found out just how much our gut health impacts our sleep quality. I believe this to be the missing key for millions of people struggling with sleep issues who are only seeing slight improvements with the popular sleep-health tips out there.

Realizing this is where many of the most common sleep issues are rooted, I felt it was a MUST to create a masterclass on it so that you know the ins and outs of this amazing gut-brain-sleep connection.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why your gut is often referred to as “the second brain”.
• Which neurotransmitter found in the gut has a profound influence on your mood.
• How a specific sleep hormone precursor also enhances your digestion.
• The shocking amount of melatonin that’s found in your gut.
• How your gut actually tells your brain what to do (and not the other way around).
• How bacteria in your gut can influence your sleep quality.
• Which common things can destroy your gut microbiome.
• What every long-living culture uses to support their microbiome.
• Why probiotic supplements won’t work without another key component.
• How changing your sleep schedule can change your gut bacteria.
• What decision we need to make when Netflix is calling our name.
• Which good sleep nutrients you need to eat each day.
• How your circadian timing system regulates your digestion.
• Which digestive issues are intimately connected to sleep.
• The shocking impact that nighttime artificial light has on your digestion.
• Why the timing of your evening meals can make or break your health.
• Which sleeping positions are the best and worst for common digestive issues.
