Hello friends!
I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I’m talking about one of my all-time favorite topics: sleep!
This is a solo episode where I walk you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we are dealing with sleep issues. Because here’s the thing: when we fix sleep, so much else starts to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition. It all has to do with how well you rest at night.
Whether you’re a new mom running around on fumes, 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 Really Work | Morning routines, magnesium, meal timing and more
Here’s what we’re talking about:
- The power of morning sunlight and why being the first thing outside is a game changer
- Why most people are taking the wrong type of magnesium – and what to look out for instead
- How Castor Oil Packs Support Your Liver, Calm Your Nervous System, and Help Your Body Shift to a State of Rest and Digestion
- The mealtime sweet spot that makes a noticeable difference in sleep quality
- Why Alcohol Before Bedtime Sabotages Your Deep Sleep (And What To Have Instead)
- The Connection Between Dropping Blood Sugar and That Dreaded 1-3 AM Wake Up Window
- How to manage stress and screen time before bed so your nervous system breaks down
- My honest take on unplugging your Wi-Fi router at night and keeping your phone away from your body
- Today’s favorite sleep supplements – including one that gives me that warm, restful feeling without the hangover
And so much more!
This episode is a friendly reminder that great sleep doesn’t just happen at night – it’s built throughout the day.
If you struggle to get consistent, restful sleep, I hope this gives you a solid starting point. And if you want to dig deeper, I’d love to help you run some functional lab work to see what might be going on hormonally or metabolically.

You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go on to heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can definitely sign up if you are not currently working in the health or fitness industry. Many IHPs do not start on this path. They are friends who are passionate about learning more about health and wellness and want to share that information with the ones they love. You can do this as a passion or start a whole new career.
