My insomnia started in late pregnancy and didn’t go away after my son was born. So I know what triggered my sleep issues. 

But not everyone has a known trigger. 

Sleep issues can happen gradually and get worse over time. 

Or your sleep can ebb and flow and be unpredictable. 

In this episode, I explain what can trigger insomnia and how sleep issues happen even if you don’t know what triggers it.

My client Richard has doubled his sleep in the first 2 months working together.

“I am pleased to say that i have gone up fro m 1-2 hours to 3-4 🤗 this has made a massive difference to my emotional state and i have just been re-engaging with life the last week! I feel like starting the mold protocol is the factor that has helped.”

Mold toxicity was affecting him but what really triggered his insomnia was mold, working 70-80 hours a week, and his body breaking down over time.
