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.

We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

Customer Reviews
I had no idea
I loved the interview with Dr. Patel and how we must breath to sleep better. So many people breath shallow and after listen I’ll focus on the techniques offered.
Very informative but maybe try new music at the end
As an insomniac, I enjoy listening when I can’t sleep. Very informative and gives me confidence and a sense of peace that I can overcome insomnia. I load many episodes in my queue in hopes that I’ll eventually fall asleep, which I do. However, I am awaken every time by the music at the end of each episode which doesn’t fit the tone at all. Everything else has been great and I enjoy listening otherwise!
So excited for this podcast
I find myself nodding along to the entire episode because I feel so seen and understood. I’ve looked up how to cure my insomnia so many times but all the advice is generic at this point. I know my issues are deeper but I was overwhelmed on where to start- this is the place! Can’t wait to learn more and benefit from this podcast. Amazing start to the pod!
