Women are more likely than men to experience insomnia and daytime sleepiness.
As our hormones change throughout the month, they affect our sleep in many different ways.
(Men can have hormone imbalances that affect their sleep, too. I talk more about different hormone imbalances (including cortisol and testosterone) in episode 33. But as women, we’re uniquely affected by the fluctuations of hormones during our cycles.)
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How estrogen and progesterone affect sleep
- Why testing for hormones is so important
- What causes hormone imbalance
- How to balance hormones naturally with supplements and food
I talk about seed cycling and the company Agni makes tasty seed cycling boxes to make it easy.
The way to balance hormones long-term is to correct the other imbalances in your body and reduce stress and inflammation. This is exactly what we can help you with.
We run 4 functional medicine tests to find what’s causing stress and inflammation in your body. And we help you handle mental stress better and stop worrying about sleep so that your mind doesn’t sabotage your sleep.
