    If You’re Waking Up at 3AM, WATCH THIS (There’s a Reason)

    You fall asleep just fine. But then 3AM hits. Your eyes open. Your mind won’t shut off. And by morning? You’re exhausted. You’ve probably been told it’s just stress… or that it’s “normal.” 😔 In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM breaks down one of the most common — and misunderstood — sleep disruptions: 3AM wake-ups. This isn’t random. It’s often a cortisol rhythm issue. Your body follows a precise circadian pattern governed by the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis). When chronic stress, blood sugar instability, trauma, inflammation, or hormone imbalances disrupt that rhythm, cortisol can spike in the middle of the night — pulling you out of deep sleep and into a wired, hyper-alert state. 💡 What if your 3AM wake-ups aren’t insomnia — but a stress-response signal? From adrenal dysfunction and blood sugar crashes to perimenopause, thyroid imbalance, and nervous system dysregulation, this episode connects the dots between chronic stress and fragmented sleep. You’ll learn: ✔️ Why cortisol should be lowest at night — and what causes it to spike ✔️ The connection between 3AM wake-ups and blood sugar instability ✔️ How trauma and chronic stress keep the body in “survival mode” ✔️ Why melatonin isn’t always the answer ✔️ The role of progesterone, thyroid, and sex hormones in sleep quality ✔️ A functional medicine approach to restoring deep, restorative sleep If you’re exhausted during the day, wired at night, and tired of being told everything is “normal” — this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening inside your body. 👇 Have questions about cortisol, burnout, or insomnia?

    Heart Racing? Dizzy? Fainting? It’s NOT in Your Head.

    Heart racing. Dizziness. Fainting. Brain fog. Fatigue. And you’ve been told… “It’s just anxiety.” 😔 In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine providers Dr. Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP and Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM discuss one of the most overlooked root causes behind these symptoms: hypermobility and dysautonomia. We explore how connective tissue instability can impact blood vessel tone, autonomic nervous system regulation, and whole-body function — and why so many patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders are misdiagnosed for years. From POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) to chronic fatigue, mast cell activation, and nervous system dysfunction… 💡 What if your “bendy” joints are connected to your racing heart, temperature dysregulation, gut issues, and chronic exhaustion? You’ll learn: ✔️ What dysautonomia actually is — and why it’s not “just anxiety” ✔️ The connection between hypermobility, POTS, EDS, and chronic illness ✔️ How the autonomic nervous system affects heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and brain function ✔️ Why women are disproportionately affected by hypermobility-related conditions ✔️ The role of inflammation, gut dysfunction, mold, infections, and trauma in nervous system dysregulation ✔️ A functional medicine approach to stabilizing the nervous system and improving quality of life If you’ve been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your labs are “normal” while your symptoms persist — this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening inside your body. 👇 Have questions about hypermobility, POTS, or dysautonomia?

    PMS? Acne? Stubborn Belly Fat? Your Estrobolome May be the Cause...

    PMS that knocks you out. Hormonal acne that won’t clear. Heavy periods. Breast tenderness. Mood swings. Stubborn belly fat that won’t budge — no matter how “clean” you eat. And you’ve been told… “It’s just hormones.” 😔 In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM unpacks one of the most overlooked drivers of estrogen imbalance: the estrobolome. The estrobolome is the collection of gut bacteria responsible for metabolizing and regulating estrogen. When it’s disrupted, estrogen can recirculate improperly — contributing to estrogen dominance, PMS, acne, fibroids, endometriosis, weight gain, and even long-term hormone-related risk. From gut dysbiosis and beta-glucuronidase activity to detox pathways and inflammatory signaling, this episode connects the dots between your microbiome and your menstrual cycle. You’ll learn: ✔️ What the estrobolome actually is — and how it regulates estrogen ✔️ How gut bacteria influence PMS, acne, heavy periods, and mood swings ✔️ The connection between antibiotics, birth control, and hormone imbalance ✔️ Why constipation and poor detox pathways worsen estrogen recirculation ✔️ How inflammation, stress, and liver function impact estrogen metabolism ✔️ A functional medicine approach to restoring hormone balance from the gut up If you’ve tried hormone supplements, topical treatments, or restrictive diets without real improvement — this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening inside your body. 👇 Have questions about PMS, estrogen dominance, or gut health?

    The Arthritis Myth Keeping You Stuck…

    Ever feel like your joint pain is brushed off as “just getting older” — yet the swelling, stiffness, and fatigue keep getting worse? 😔 In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP discusses one of the most misunderstood chronic conditions today: arthritis. From rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis to ankylosing spondylitis and chronic joint inflammation… what if arthritis isn’t simply wear and tear — but a deeper immune and inflammatory imbalance? 🔥 💡 Discover how gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, chronic infections, mold exposure, unresolved trauma, and environmental toxins can fuel autoimmune activity and drive joint degeneration. You’ll learn: ✔️ The difference between mechanical and inflammatory arthritis ✔️ Why autoimmune arthritis is more than a joint condition ✔️ How leaky gut and food triggers contribute to chronic inflammation ✔️ Why women are disproportionately affected by autoimmune disease ✔️ The Med Matrix functional medicine approach to calming inflammation and restoring mobility If you’ve been managing pain without understanding the root cause, this episode will help you see arthritis through a whole-body lens — and why true healing requires addressing the immune system, gut, and inflammatory drivers at the source. 👇 Have questions about arthritis or autoimmune healing?

    The Peptide Revolution: Everything You’ve Been Missing

    Ever feel like you’re hearing about peptides everywhere — for fat loss, muscle growth, anti-aging, brain health, gut repair — but no one is actually explaining what they are or how they work? 🤔 In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP breaks down one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) tools in regenerative and longevity medicine: peptides. From BPC-157 and thymosin peptides to GLP-1 analogs and growth hormone secretagogues… what if peptides aren’t just another trend — but targeted signaling molecules that can help restore communication at the cellular level? 🔬✨ 💡 Discover how peptides influence healing, metabolism, inflammation, mitochondrial function, immune modulation, and tissue repair — and why precision and proper oversight matter. You’ll learn: ✔️ What peptides actually are (and how they differ from hormones or steroids) ✔️ The most common peptides used for fat loss, injury recovery, gut repair, and cognitive support ✔️ How peptides work as cellular messengers to optimize function ✔️ Potential risks, side effects, and why sourcing matters ✔️ Who is (and isn’t) a good candidate for peptide therapy ✔️ The functional medicine approach to using peptides safely and strategically If you’ve been curious about peptides but overwhelmed by conflicting information online, this episode cuts through the noise and gives you a science-backed, root-cause perspective. 👇 Have questions about peptides or regenerative medicine?
