Client Testimonial
My client Rachel said:
“After discovering Martha and enlisting her services, she did a full analysis of my body and helped me to understand the imbalance and why I wasn't able to fall asleep/stay asleep. She gave me natural solutions on how to get my body flow back in balance and after a year of following her advice, I can fall asleep and stay asleep on my own. I won't ever go back to prescription pills-thanks to Martha. Whatever advice she is giving you, take it. She has your best interests in mind as she did mine. Because of this, I no longer have a negative relationship with sleep. I rarely think about the upcoming sleep which is the opposite of how it used to be. I used to dread going to sleep and would think about it all day long-- now I can appreciate it more. I'm finally getting the consistent enough results I've been looking for my whole life.
Knowing what I know now through this experience with you, makes me realize how terrible the literature & culture on insomnia is.
It blows my mind all the people in your Facebook group who comment on all the crazy stuff they've been doing to try to sleep such as weighted blankets, psyh drugs, cognitive behavioral psychology studies, pills pills and more pills.
You hold the easy answer to everyone's sleeping problems and it's almost criminal that society makes people think all these other tools are the solution to what is simply an out of balance body.”

If you can’t sleep, your body is in chaos!
Your body wants to be in balance, but when it can’t handle all the stress it’s under, it gets completely out of balance and all the systems stop working optimally.
In this episode, I explain the concept of "metabolic chaos" and why it is the sole, overarching reason why you can't sleep.
You'll learn:
what metabolic chaos means
what causes metabolic chaos
how metabolic chaos can lead to insomnia
the problem with treating symptoms instead the root cause
how to get out of metabolic chaos so you can sleep normally

Client Testimonial
My client Jaipal said:
“The Complete Sleep Solution has truly been life-changing. That isn't just a cliche statement for a testimonial. It is just the truth. My life can be divided into Pre-Martha, and Post-Martha. Before I met with Martha, I was waking up exhausted every single day and sluggishly fighting through each day feeling like I had no energy, no clarity, and no creativity. As an Architect, I need each of those three things to succeed. I started losing confidence in my creative abilities, and my self-worth, and really went down a dark path.
Through a series of lab tests, through metrics and analysis, Martha was able to hone in on the source of my restlessness and lack of proper sleep. She also gave me very useful tools to release stress, both emotional and mental, as well as a full education on the entire subject of sleep.
Less than two weeks into the program, I began to notice some changes. A month in, I started to sleep much better.
Two months in, I realized I had dropped 15 lbs of extra weight. I started waking up with more energy and found that I could get through a full day with focus and attention. Three months in, I had fully formed new habits, transformed my diet, and transformed my body. It's been nearly six months since I initially started the program. And, I have regained the confidence, energy and positivity that I always remembered throughout my life. I feel good. I feel creative. I feel like I am a success. And, just in time! My 40th birthday is tomorrow! Thank you, Martha!"
Show Notes
There's one main hormone that sabotages your sleep. When your body constantly releases cortisol to deal with stress, it affects your body in many different ways, and they aren't good! Learn more in this illuminating episode.
My clients tell me this explains everything for them: why they can't sleep and why they don't feel well.
If you’re experiencing any symptoms at all, including sleep problems, you have cortisol regulation issues and you’re nowhere near perfect health. It takes more than supplements, diet and exercise to get back in balance. The longer you wait to address it, the longer and harder it’s going to be to get better.

Client Testimonial
My client Laurie said:
“Lately I’ve been sleeping 7-8 hours a night. I can get up and go to the bathroom and I can go right back to sleep, most of the time. Sometimes I’ll have an issue where a night or two will be a little funky. But then I just get back to it. So I don’t worry about that because my pattern now is more to sleep, than not to sleep…in a big way.
Show Notes
Why can't you sleep?
Both your mind AND your body contribute to your sleep issues.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps with the mental part.
Doctors may try to help with the physical part but they usually end up prescribing sleeping pills or anti-anxiety medication.
The only way to truly get over your insomnia is to find out what's going on in both your body and your mind and correct all of those things at once.
