    Are you one of the millions of Americans taking cholesterol-lowering medications but still struggling with sleep issues? Or maybe your doctor has recommended a statin but you don’t want to take it because you’ve been hearing it might not be good for you?

    What if I told you that your high cholesterol and poor sleep might have the same underlying causes?

    Today, I'm going to reveal the surprising connection between high cholesterol and sleep problems that most doctors never discuss.

    By the end of this episode, you'll understand why cholesterol isn't your enemy, how it relates to your sleep quality, and 6 hidden imbalances that might be causing both issues.

    More importantly, you'll learn what functional lab tests can uncover these root causes so you can improve both your cholesterol levels AND your sleep naturally.

  • 204. Why you’re only sleeping 5-7 hours a night
    May 28 2025

    Schedule your consultation to get started with the Complete Sleep Solution program.

    If you're only sleeping 5-7 hours a night, your body has likely been out of balance for years - even if you consider yourself healthy. The truth is, getting less than 7 hours of sleep isn't just 'your normal' - it's a sign that something fundamental is wrong with your body's systems.

    Are you tired of spending thousands on supplements, therapists, and functional medicine doctors, only to still wake up in the middle of the night regardless of how clean your diet is?

    Imagine what it would feel like to sleep a full 8 hours every night without waking up. To have the energy, focus, and vitality that comes from truly restorative sleep - not just 'getting by' on 5 or 6 hours.

    Today, you’ll discover why you're only sleeping 5-7 hours a night and the hidden imbalances keeping you from restful sleep. I'm also sharing Wes's journey - a client who spent thousands of dollars and many months trying everything to fix his sleep before working with me. By the end of this episode, you'll understand the surprising missing piece that was affecting the quality of his sleep and that transformed his sleep after years of disruption - even though he was fit, ate well, and never suspected this was his issue. This could be the missing piece you've been searching for too.

    May 14 2025

    Both seasonal allergies and insomnia are signs that your body isn’t totally healthy, even if you eat well and exercise and care about your health.

    Your body should be able to deal with pollen, grasses, etc. without causing any symptoms.

    And your body should be able to sleep at least 7 hours a night.

    In this episode, I’m going to explain what underlying health issues lead to seasonal allergies and sleep issues. And I’ll tell you some supplements that have helped me so I don’t have to take medication during allergy season.
