In this eye-opening episode of Radiant Mom Rising, Mary Dibble sits down with retired medical doctor and wellness advocate Lucinda Sykes to talk about something so many moms struggle with but rarely discuss—sleep. Dr. Sykes reveals startling research that links sleeping pills to increased risks of Alzheimer's, cancer, and even early death, especially for women in the second half of life.
But this isn’t about fear—it’s about freedom. You’ll discover science-backed alternatives like mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy that actually work, without the side effects. Whether you’ve relied on sleep meds or are just tired of feeling exhausted, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you take back control of your rest, your health, and your future.
