Do you ever wake up tired even though you technically slept?

That quiet frustration is one of the biggest signs that your sleep cycle is begging for support. In this episode, I share a real-life stretch of nights with only two hours of sleep and what it taught me about how quickly the body becomes stressed, unfocused, and overwhelmed when restorative sleep slips away.

I walk through the root causes of insomnia, what separates acute sleep disruption from chronic insomnia, and how certain habits, nutrients, stress patterns, gut imbalances, and even organ timing can make or break your nights. My goal is to help you understand what your body is trying to tell you so you can finally get the deep, healthy, restorative sleep you deserve.

What you'll learn:

☑️ Why poor sleep affects immunity, mood, stress tolerance, and mental clarity

☑️ How gut health, blood sugar, adrenals, and the meridian clock can trigger insomnia

☑️ Simple, practical habits and natural tools that support deeper, more consistent sleep

When you support the causes instead of chasing symptoms, your sleep can shift in powerful ways. If you are tired of feeling exhausted, wired, or wide awake at 3 a.m., this episode gives you a clear starting point.
