If you wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep, you want to listen to this episode!

The #1 cause of waking up at 3am is having a pathogen such as a parasite. About 1/4 of my clients have a parasite.

In this episode, you'll learn all about parasites:

- what they are
- where you get them
- what they do to your body
- how they affect sleep
- how to test 
- what to do about them
