Sound Sleep Plan

Poor sleep quality is difficulty falling asleep, frequent, or sustained awakenings, or early morning awakenings. 

Chronic insomnia is associated with increased cortisol (stress hormones) due to poor liver detoxification and lifestyle factors. Poor liver detoxification is related to poor lifestyle, diet, and biological aging. However, the good news is certain herbs and nutrients can support liver detoxification as we age. 

Circadian rhythm is your body's internal clock that regulates the 24-hour cycle of biological processes. Individuals with a disrupted circadian rhythm often struggle to fall asleep or experience wakeful sleep. The latter is usually due to inner tension.  Shift work, side effects of medication, jet lag, stress, anxiety, and repressed emotions cause disrupted circadian rhythm.

Treatment for insomnia, therefore, involves nutrients and herbs taken throughout the day to support a healthy circadian rhythm by maintaining healthy cortisol and blood sugar levels.
