Episode Transcript:


Have you tried everything from natural to pharmaceutical just to get a good night's rest? Join me, Martha Lewis, certified sleep expert and functional health coach as I unpack what's really keeping you up at night and how to change it. This is the Sleep Detective podcast and I'm going to show you how to sleep well so you can enjoy your life.


Hello everyone. Happy Tuesday. So good to see you today. I woke up to a few inches of fresh snow outside and it's funny, my 8-year-old son is like, I thought it was fall, so I had to explain to him that in Wyoming things are different. It can go from fall to winter overnight, and yeah, or winter is very long and it's even in the fall as well. Awesome. So today I want to talk about how one of my clients who is an architect lost 15 pounds and got his energy, creativity, and confidence back by fixing his sleep.


So I want to tell you about his story, but you were also welcome to ask any questions you have about your sleep, about how I help with sleep issues and I am happy to answer them, so feel free to type in the comments and yeah, I will answer them either as we go or at the end. So my client, Jay Paul is his name. He came to me because he had had trouble sleeping for 20 years, pretty much since college and it was starting to affect his entire work and life and he signed up for the Complete Sleep Solution program and started improving in just a couple of weeks. So he found me, I did a live in someone's Facebook group and he was immediately like, okay, this person can help me. And he signed up and he was committed and ready to go. So we were off to the races he wrote.


Before I met with Martha, I was waking up exhausted every single day and sluggishly fighting through each day feeling like I had no energy, no clarity, and no creativity. As an architect, I need each of these three things to succeed from a cognitive abilities perspective, I really need to tap into peak level performance every single day and I simply wasn't functioning properly. I figured that sleep was part of the problem, but I wasn't sure if it was my bed, my pillow, my schedule or what. That's where Martha's expertise came in and we dissected the major areas of my life focusing most on health and nutrition. Through a series of lab tests, through metrics and analysis, Martha was able to hone in on the source of my restlessness and lack of proper sleep. So his labs show that he had h pylori and other bacterial infections, which can wake you up in the middle of the night.


He had what's called estrogen dominance. So in men, this is when estrogen is higher than testosterone in women. It's when estrogen's higher than progesterone and it's usually a problem of the liver not detoxing properly, and our liver is also what gets rid of our hormones and when it can't get rid of those or detoxify hormones and get them out of the body, that estrogen especially recirculates and builds up. And so that's what was happening for him and that can directly affect sleep. He also had gluten and dairy sensitivity and some mineral imbalances. So we address these things with diet changes and supplements and he made progress really quickly. He wrote that two weeks in, he started to notice some changes. Now he had also had a lot of recent stress because he was going through a divorce and this wasn't in alignment with his values.


He was really against divorce and didn't want to get divorced, but he knew that it was necessary, but he really battled with that in his mind. And so in addition to the physical health issues that the lab showed, we also worked on his emotional and mental stress so that his divorce didn't continue to weigh on him and affect his health over time. So even though he was going through this very stressful time, he was still able to get better. He continued writing. She also gave me very useful tools to release stress, both emotional and mental as well as a full education on the entire subject of sleep. There's way more to it than you would believe. A month in I started to sleep much better. Two months in I realized I had dropped 15 pounds of extra weight. I started waking up with more energy and found that I could get through a full day with focus and attention three months in and I had fully formed new habits, transform my diet and transform my body.


It's been nearly six months since I initially started the program and I have regained the confidence, energy, and positivity that I always remembered throughout my life. I feel good, I feel creative, I feel like I am a success and just in time, my 40th birthday is tomorrow. Thank you, Martha. Let me tell you, Jay Paul was an amazing client to work with as well. He was open to everything. He was ready to make whatever changes I recommended and he got better really quickly because of that. And really I think this also goes to show first of all, even if you're going through a stressful time such as a divorce, taking care of sick parents like my client John has been doing, no matter what you're going through, you can still get better by addressing the imbalances in your body that are affecting your sleep. And we're also going to help you with the mental stress that is also affecting your sleep and health over time.


So it's very much a body and mind program. So in the complete sleep solution, my team and I will look at everything that's causing your sleep issues from a body and mind perspective and help you fix them. So you can consistently sleep seven to nine hours uninterrupted in six months or less. So we'll help you restore your health so you can transform your body and your sleep in only a few months just like jal. So it's really also a health restoring program because the reason you aren't sleeping is because your body isn't healthy, and that's why random supplements, that's why cognitive behavioral therapy, that's why sleep hygiene, all those things don't work because they aren't addressing the root cause, which is the imbalances in your body that are affecting your sleep. So I see not being able to sleep normally as a sign that your body isn't healthy because a healthy body sleeps well.


It's what we're meant to do. If you are interested in the Complete Sleep Solution program, it is a six month one-on-one private program where you'll work directly with a health coach and the first step is to book a free consultation with me. So we'll talk about what's going on with your sleep and health, what you've tried so far and why it hasn't worked, and how the program will help you consistently sleep seven or more hours a night permanently and naturally. So without drugs. And I actually help a lot of our clients wean off of sleeping pills if that is their goal. So you'll wake up excited to go to work because you're motivated, alert, and confident instead of just sludging through the day, waiting until you can go home and collapse on the couch for the evening. It's not fun to live like that every single day, right?


So you can get the sleep you need to be creative, productive, and focused at work every day so you can achieve your professional and financial goals, whether you own your own business or work for someone else. So the complete Sleep Solution is a six month, again, one-on-one program. It includes a jumpstart plan that you get within a week of signing up and we're going to tell you one to three simple but impactful things to do right away that will have a big impact on your sleep. Then as your test results come in, we analyze those and the assessment to look for everything that could be affecting your sleep so that nothing is missed. And then we give you a customized holistic diet, lifestyle and supplement protocol so that you know exactly what to do to get better and keep it simple. I'm not going to tell you to do 15 different things and you're totally overwhelmed.


We're going to tell you the three most important things to do and then give you some supplements that are to be taken temporarily so we can do everything we can at once to get your body back in balance so that you can sleep normally as quickly as possible. Now, you also get six months of support. You get 12 private coaching calls over the six months. You meet about twice a month with your coach. You also get daily private chat messaging between your sessions so you get all of your questions answered, you get help implementing your plan, and we're also going to help you with sleep anxiety with anything in the mental aspect that is also getting in the way of sleep as well. Now you'll also get valuable weekly training modules. So these are quick, they're about 10 minutes long. I know that you're busy and tired, so I'm not giving you hour long trainings every week.


My goal here is to give you as many resources as possible so that your sleep and health improve as quickly as possible, and then you talk about how those trainings apply to you in your sessions with your coach. It also includes analysis of other tests. So if you have recent blood work, if we recommend that you test for mold in your body, if you have recent thyroid tests, we will also look at those. If you are on sleep medication, you will get a customized plan to wean off those sleep meds with your doctor's approval at the right time, and at the end you get the option to renew and retest or will give you an exit plan so that you can stay healthy and continue to sleep well. Now the investment is $4,000 or four monthly payments of $1,000 plus the cost of the lab tests, which are just under a thousand dollars.


In the us I do work with clients all over the world, and so if you live outside of the US or Canada, I order labs from Europe that ship worldwide, and so the tests are a little more expensive that way, just a little over a thousand dollars us. So let me know if you have any questions. You are welcome to message me anytime. You can also schedule a free consultation to get started today so you can consistently sleep seven to nine hours uninterrupted without drugs. Alright everyone, thanks for listening and tomorrow I'm going to be live at the same time talking about why you're anxious, depressed, and can't sleep and how to fix it. Anxiety and depression can also be caused by imbalances in your body. I know there's a mental component too, but I'm going to explain how anxiety, depression, and insomnia are all linked and how to fix all of them. Alright, it is good to talk to you and I will see you tomorrow.
