100: The bottom-line truth about why you can't sleep and how to fix it Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

The Insomnia Fix is now The Sleep Detective podcast!

If you can’t sleep, your body is in chaos!

Your body wants to be in balance, but when it can’t handle all the stress it’s under, it gets completely out of balance and all the systems stop working optimally.

In this episode, I explain the concept of "metabolic chaos" and why it is the sole, overarching reason why you can't sleep.

You'll learn:

what metabolic chaos means
what causes metabolic chaos
how metabolic chaos can lead to insomnia
the problem with treating symptoms instead the root cause
how to get out of metabolic chaos so you can sleep normally

To celebrate the new name of the podcast, I’m offering a new program that looks at gut health to pinpoint at least one reason why you can’t sleep.

It’s called the Sleep Better Jumpstart program and it includes:

1 GI Map that looks at overall gut health
A customized supplement and lifestyle plan
6 weeks of support
A 30 minute session to go over your test results
10% off supplements through Fullscript
Credit for the Complete Sleep Solution program
6 bonuses about diet, blood sugar, liver detox and more

Show notes

If you can't sleep, your gut isn't healthy. None of my clients I've worked with have a healthy gut, even if they don't have digestive symptoms. So looking at gut health is an important part of solving your insomnia.

This Jumpstart program will give unique insight to help us pinpoint at least 1 component that is affecting your sleep.

The Sleep Better Jumpstart program is a 6-week dive into optimizing gut health to improve your sleep and overall health.

I explain everything about the program in this episode.

The program includes:

1 GI Map test that looks at overall gut health
A customized supplement and lifestyle plan
6 weeks of support
A 30 minute session to go over your test results
10% off supplements through Fullscript
Credit for the Complete Sleep Solution program
6 bonuses about diet, blood sugar, liver detox and more

The program cost is $999 through Labor Day (regularly $1500).

14 month interest-free financing is available through Advance Care Card: https://advancecarecard.com/.

99: How to figure out the best diet for sleep for your body Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

Nutrition information is so confusing and contradictory! It's hard to know what we should be eating.

As a nutritionist and functional health coach, I've figured out a simple way to find the diet that works best for each of my clients. It's based on my masters in nutrition, my understanding of Dr. Weston A Price's findings in the 1930's, and my experience working on an organic, biodynamic farm.

In this episode, you'll learn:

-a simple approach to diet and nutrition that isn't confusing.

-what foods to focus on for good sleep and health.

-if a plant-based or animal-based diet is right for you.

-how traditional diets show us how we should eat today.

Want to get my top 3 tips for you personally to start sleeping better? Sign up for a Sleep Breakthrough session! I'll send you an assessment to fill out that looks at diet, blood sugar, hormone balance, liver function, gut health, brain inflammation, mold toxicity, sleep hygiene, mental stress, and more!

98: How to stabilize your blood sugar to sleep better quickly Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

Your blood sugar could be affecting your sleep!

Even if you are a healthy weight and eat healthy. Keeping my blood sugar levels steady was a big piece of the puzzle for me. And it is for many of my clients, too.

I talked about how blood sugar affects our sleep and the signs of low blood sugar and insulin resistance in episode 46 so you want to listen to that episode, too.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What markers to look for on your bloodwork
optimal blood sugar levels before and after eating
How to test your blood sugar
Hacks and supplements to stabilize blood sugar

There are many pieces to the puzzle of what’s causing your insomnia and blood sugar is just one of them. I’ve created a program that looks at all the pieces so we don’t miss anything and so you can get the sleep you want to feel rested, full of energy, and ready for each day.

Show notes

If you can’t sleep, there are likely imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake (see episode 94). I use 4 different functional lab tests to find these imbalances in my clients. In this episode, you’ll learn: What I look for in the 4 lab tests How these tests show why you can’t sleep How these tests show much more than typical blood work (which usually comes back “normal”) These tests together, along with the assessments I use, give me the big picture of what systems in the body aren’t working properly and affecting sleep in each of my clients so we know what to address. It’s different for everyone! That’s why a personalized approach is so important. If you’re committed to getting to the bottom of your sleep issues once and for all, my team and I are here for you!

96: The 3 keys to improve your sleep: Part 3 epigenetics Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

People wonder if their sleep issues are genetic because their mom or dad or sister or brother also has insomnia. While your genes can make you more susceptible to poor sleep, luckily your genes are not your destiny. What you eat, how much you move, how much stress you have and more determines whether your genes turn off or on. Your genetics determine what diet is right for you, what exercise your body needs, what supplements and medications will work well for you, what habits will best support your body, and more. It’s different for everyone and that’s why it’s important to have a customized approach to health issues such as insomnia. In this episode, you’ll learn how your genes affect your sleep and how to assess what genes are playing a role in your sleep issues.
