Difficulty Sleeping?

Sleep. It sounds simple and yet is a struggle for so many. Did you know there are several clues that the body leaves that can help you determine how to improve your sleep quality and get a better night’s rest?

• What time do you wake up? If you frequently wake up between 11-1 that can be the sign of an overworked liver. Try dandelion tea or milt thistle tea before bed to help.

• If you wake up between 2-4 am, you may have blood sugar issues. Try eating protein before bed. A great choice is raw Brazil nuts or raw sunflower seeds as they are also great for thyroid support.

• Do you feel like your brain won’t “calm down”. Certain supplements* such as magnesium before bed can really help.

• Difficulty staying asleep? You might be low B6 especially if you feel your energy is also low throughout the day.

• Taking melatonin? You should not take melatonin for more than 1 month. If it helps, it means you might need other supplements are not allowing you to “get” to melatonin. Serotonin converts to melatonin ( and is also associated with anxiety/depression)

There can, of course, be other factors involved. If this is a concern for you, contact the office to set up a consultation.
