My client Maura came to me when she was struggling to fall asleep and would go days without sleeping if she wasn’t taking a sleeping pill.
She was taking Trazodone and Lexapro to sleep and feel calm.
She was a mom to 2 young children and she had to take a leave from teaching because she wasn’t sleeping.
Her goal was to sleep 7 hours a night, get off meds, and not feel anxious about sleep. By the end of our time working together, she achieved all of these goals!
"In 2 months I weaned off Trazodone. On average I’m sleeping 7-8 hours a night and feeling a lot better.”
Her test results showed:
Depleted sex hormones
Liver dysfunction
Mold toxicity (from the school where she worked!)
Mineral imbalances
H. pylori
Dysbiosis (imbalance of good to bad gut bacteria)
Gluten sensitivity
All of these imbalances were affecting her sleep!
I recommended supplements and diet changes which she immediately embraced.
We also worked on stress about sleep and so her anxiety about sleep improved pretty quickly.
She even slept well when she traveled to Ireland. She emailed me after her trip: “I returned from my trip to Ireland yesterday. I was so nervous about sleeping in various hotels in a different time zone. I did great and slept really well. Each night I slept between 7-8 hours. My anxiety about sleep is so much better."
Maura was 100% committed to the process and because of that, she had great success!
“I loved having a plan, knowing we're going to work together, slowly add supplements, then slowly take them away. I appreciated having support and being able to email you. Having someone in my court. I wasn't in this alone. And it doesn't take the whole time (6 months)."
By the end of our time working together, Maura was back to work teaching when the school year started!
You can listen to her story on the podcast.
Maura loved the step-by-step, simple plan I gave her in the Complete Sleep Solution program because then she knew exactly what to do to get better.
She was relieved that all she had to do was follow her protocol, without questioning if it was right for her.
She stopped googling about how to sleep better and trying random supplements and gadgets because she had a plan customized for her life and body.
If Maura can get better, you can, too!
