Sunil started waking up in the middle of the night about 6 months ago and it doesn’t make sense because he eats healthy, he exercises, he doesn’t have a lot of stress, and he’s doing so many things to take care of himself.

In this Sleep Breakthrough call, Sunil and I talk about his health and sleep and what could be causing him to wake up for 2 hours in the night. I gave him one tip to help him fall back asleep faster. And I recommended a surprise change to his exercise plan. And I told him the 3 most likely reasons for his wake ups and he’s going to look into one of them to start.

If you’re going through a stressful time, such as you’re in the middle of a divorce, moving, or recently lost a loved one, you may think that now isn’t the right time to focus on your sleep and health, that there’s nothing you can do until you’re past this tough time. But what if now is actually the perfect time?

In this episode, I'm going to tell you about how my client Jaipal was able to fix his sleep, lose 15 pounds without trying, and get healthy again even though he had just gone through a hard divorce and was still dealing with the emotional impact of it and even though he had been struggling with sleep for 20 years, since college.

Have you tried following all the sleep advice you hear about everywhere: follow a bedtime routine, stop drinking caffeine at 2pm, don’t watch TV before bed… I know it’s frustrating when these things don’t work. But just because they haven’t worked doesn’t mean you can’t sleep well!

In this episode I’m going to explain why what you’ve tried so far hasn’t worked and share 5 unconventional sleep tips that you haven’t heard anywhere else.

You’ll learn:

what really causes sleep issues (it’s not because you’re watching Netflix before bed or your bedtime routine isn’t long enough)

why melatonin, magnesium, CBD, etc. aren’t solving the problem (and what will)

why the medical system can’t help with chronic sleep issues (and what can)

certain “healthy” habits that could be harming your sleep instead of helping

The simple formula to consistently get 7-9 hours of restful sleep

There’s so much conflicting information about nutrition and diets that it’s hard to figure out what’s right. Should you eat plant or animal based? Keto? Low fat? Low carb? The truth is, eating healthy is different from eating what’s right for YOUR body.

I apologize, the masterclass is not happening in February. It will be happening this year though so stay tuned!

Heard about the MTHFR gene or know that you have it? With all the info out there, it’s really confusing to know what you should do if you have it. And the truth is, it could be a reason why you’re having a hard time getting good sleep, even if you’re taking methylated B vitamins like you’ve heard about.

In today’s episode, I’m going to briefly explain:

• the MTHFR gene and methylation

• how the mutation could be affecting your sleep, mood and health

• what to do if you have it so you don’t waste money on supplements you don’t need

Knowing this will eliminate a lot of confusion you have about the gene and also help you understand why you have sleep and other health issues.

If you're ready to understand how methylation and the MTHFR gene are causing your sleep issues and how to fix them, this episode is for you.

In the Complete Sleep Solution program, I screen for the MTHFR gene in the intake questionnaire as soon as you sign up. If the gene is acting up, I’ll recommend a plan to address it right away so we don’t have to wait for your test results to come back.
