sleep quantity and quality is a major problem for so many of us.
Not only does it leave us feeling bad, it is also detrimental to
our overall health. Poor sleep can lead to everything from mood
swings to blood sugar imbalances, hormonal imbalances, weight gain,
poor memory, and much more. So what is causing our poor sleep and
what can we do to improve it? In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down
with Dr. Cindy Geyer to discuss how they work with patients to get
to the root cause of sleep issues. They share essential tips to get
better sleep and discuss specific concerns that affect women when
it comes to issues with sleep. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her
