In this episode, I sit down with Chandra Verret, a licensed Primal Trust practitioner, to talk about why your nervous system might be the missing piece behind your sleep issues.


Chandra will also be joining as a weekly coach inside my Complete Sleep Solution program, helping clients with nervous system regulation.


You'll learn:

  • Why being wired at night could mean your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight
  • The signs that show up when your nervous system is dysregulated, even if you don't think you have an issue
  • Why insomnia and racing thoughts are often signs of something deeper than sleep habits
  • How your nervous system keeps working while you sleep, and why that matters
  • Why meditation alone often isn't enough if you're dysregulated the rest of the day
  • Chandra's own health story, and how nervous system work became part of her healing
