201: Sleep Tips That Actually Work | Morning routines, magnesium, meal times and more

Hello friends!

I have a brand new live podcast episode and today I’m talking about one of my favorite topics of all time: sleep!

This is a standalone episode where I walk you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we troubleshoot sleep issues. Because here’s the thing: when we get sleep right, a lot of other things start to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition; it all comes down to how well you rest at night.

Whether you’re a new mom who’s fuming, someone who wakes up at 1am and can’t get back to sleep, or just someone who never feels truly rested, this episode is for you.

201: Sleep Tips That Actually Work | Morning routines, magnesium, meal times and more

Here’s what we’re talking about:

• The power of morning sunlight and why going outside for the first time is a game-changer
• Why most people are taking the wrong type of magnesium – and what to look for instead
• How Castor Oil Packs Support Your Liver, Calm Your Nervous System, and Help Your Body Go into Rest and Digestion Mode
• The best place to eat that makes a tangible difference in sleep quality
• Why alcohol before bed is sabotaging your deep sleep (and what to drink instead)
• The link between blood sugar dips and that dreaded 1-3am waking window
• How to manage stress and screen time before bed so your nervous system can relax
• My honest take on turning off your Wi-Fi router at night and keeping your phone away from your body
• My current favorite sleep supplements – including the one that gives me that warm, relaxed feeling without the hangover

And much more!

This episode is a friendly reminder that great sleep doesn’t just happen at night—it’s built throughout your day.

If you’ve been struggling to get consistent, restful sleep, I hope this gives you a solid starting point. And if you want to go deeper, I’d be happy to help you run some functional lab tests to see what might be going on hormonally or metabolically.

If any of my healthcare professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go heal others, which I think is a beautiful quest. You can absolutely join if you are not currently working in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs do not start down this path. They are friends who want to learn more about health and wellness and want to share that information with those they love. You can do this as a passion or start a whole new career.
