One of the questions I get asked the most is “Why do I wake up at 3am?” Or 2 or 4am?


So many people wake up at the same time each night like clockwork. This happened to me, too! From working with almost 100 clients, I’ve found there are 3 common reasons why this is happening.



In this episode, you’ll learn:


  • How cortisol sabotages sleep
  • The 3 most likely causes of waking up in the middle of the night
  • How to find out if these underlying health issues are affecting you



If you’re waking up in the middle of the night most nights, it’s likely that at least one if not all three of these issues are the culprit.


The only way to know for sure is to test.


That’s why the Complete Sleep Solution program includes 4 functional lab tests that identify exactly what’s keeping you awake at night.


It’s testing, not guessing so that we know what to address and you get better as quickly as possible.


Summary of the episode:


Cortisol is an anti-inflammatory hormone and so if you have inflammation in the middle of the night, your body will release cortisol which will wake you up.


The 3 most common reasons why you wake up at 3am:


  • Low blood sugar
  • A pathogen in the gut
  • Liver detox issues


You can find more in-depth info about:



There can be other underlying health issues that cause you to wake up at night such as hormone imbalance, mineral deficiencies, mold toxicity and heavy metals.


I also mentioned and recommend the Keto-mojo for a glucose and ketone monitor.
