How To Stay Asleep And Sleep More Deeply

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Pique. Not only
does poor sleep make you less productive and uncomfortably tired,
but it can also wreak havoc on your hormones and health. Yet so
many patients tell me they often find themselves awake between 1:00
am and 4:00 am. There are many factors that can contribute to sleep
issues, but the two most common culprits threatening your
sleep-wake cycles are unregulated blood sugar levels (or poor
nutrition status) and chronic stress. In today’s episode of my
series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk all about sleep and my top
tips for what you can do to stay asleep and sleep more
deeply.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and
Pique. Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine
practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from
over 35 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, and Great Plains.
