Sleep: There is light at the end of the tunnel

I am privileged to get a glimpse into the lives of so many wonderful women. My client's come to me for a varied range hormonal issues.

✨ By far and away the most common symptom I hear of is the lack of quality SLEEP! ✨

- Can't fall asleep
- Can't stay asleep
- Waking at 3am
- Waking often to pee

 Sleep struggles are the norm for a large number of women

You could literally have the world's most perfect diet & exercise regime - but you will not get to your goals until you are sleeping deep every night.

-That restoration is where you get your 'gains'

The Sleep/Wake Cycle is regulated by the hormones Cortisol & Melatonin.

✔ These 2 hormones teeter/totter to allow you to go to sleep and wake up. Cortisol to wake & Melatonin to sleep

✔Caffeine, stress & alcohol raise Cortisol.

✔ Melatonin is suppressed in the presence of Cortisol.

✔Melatonin is also suppressed by stress, caffeine, light & eating too close to bed.

🌙 My recommendations🌙

-Don't eat after 6pm. Allow your digestive system to do what it is designed to do BEFORE you go to bed.

-30 days alcohol free would do the world of good. Especially wine, as the liver starts processing wine at 3am & wakes you up!

-Be in bed by 10pm. Do not look at your phone or a screen after 9.30pm.

-max 1 coffee per day. Before 12pm

HempLove Full spectrum CBD oil is the Holy grail of deep sleep 🙏

Go Healthy Sleep Magnesium is very very good also 🙏
