Holistic Sleep Support for Adults
Sleep is deeply connected to our overall health and well-being. Improved quality of sleep means an overall improved quality of life. Quality sleep improves mood, regulates blood sugar, helps with memory and maintaining a healthy weight as well as reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. Many adult sleep struggles stem from physiological imbalances and a deeper approach that focuses on physiology is needed for true sustainable change. To optimize your sleep, we work to optimize your overall wellness.
Why Does Physiology Matter?
Physiology refers to the way your body’s systems work together. In the context of sleep, this includes:
Hormonal regulation.
Nervous system function.
Nutritional status.
Blood sugar balance.
Stress response and recovery.
These processes directly influence our body’s ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed. When they are out of balance (or there are barriers) surface-level solutions like avoiding screens, meditating before bed or having an earlier bedtime hour may not be enough to create lasting change. This is where deeper work is beneficial.
Why Deeper Work Is Necessary
Hormonal Imbalances Disrupt Sleep Cycles
Hormones like cortisol, melatonin, and progesterone play a crucial role in regulating sleep. Addressing these imbalances requires more than sleep hygiene tips—it involves targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes, and sometimes professional support. Sleep also plays a role in regulating the hormones leptin and ghrelin, which help control appetite. This is part of the reason why it is hard to manage our weight when we are sleep deprived.
Nutritional Deficiencies Impact Sleep Quality
Certain nutrients are essential for calming the nervous system and supporting deep, restorative sleep. Without identifying and addressing nutritional needs, even the best sleep habits may not lead to much improvement.
Chronic Stress Keeps the Body in Fight-or-Flight Mode
When the body is stuck in a state of the fight-or-flight, it can be difficulty to both fall asleep and stay asleep. Strategies to lower cortisol, balance blood sugar, help with stress management and regulate the nervous system are essential along with sleep hygiene.
Blood Sugar Fluctuations Can Interrupt Sleep
Poor blood sugar regulation can cause night-time awakenings, leaving you feeling tired but unable to go back to sleep. Addressing blood sugar through proper nutrition can have a profound impact on sleep.
Addressing the Root Causes of Sleep Challenges
Our approach to sleep goes beyond surface-level tips by focusing on why you’re not sleeping. This means taking a deeper dive into your unique physiology, including:
Identifying and addressing imbalances.
Optimizing nutrition to support sleep-related processes.
Managing stress and restoring nervous system balance.
Balancing blood sugar to promote uninterrupted sleep.
Recognizing when to seek additional medical support for conditions impacting sleep.
By addressing these foundational aspects, you’re not just improving your sleep—you’re working on your overall health and wellness. Sleep is the result of a well-functioning body, and when your physiology is supported, better sleep becomes achievable and sustainable.
