Sleep Disorders: Restoring Your Natural Rhythm
When "just getting more sleep" isn't an option.
Sleep is the foundation of every biological process in your body. When you can’t fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling refreshed, your focus, mood, immune system, and hormones all suffer. We look beyond the "insomnia" label to find the internal glitches keeping you awake.
Common sleep struggles we address:
- Onset Insomnia: Lying awake for hours with a racing mind.
- Sleep Fragmentation: Waking up at 2 am or 3 am and struggling to drift back off.
- Early Waking: Waking before your alarm, feeling "wired but tired."
- Restless Sleep: Tossing, turning, and waking up feeling like you haven't slept at all.
- Daytime Exhaustion: Relying on caffeine to survive the day because your sleep quality is so poor.
The Science of Sleep: Why You’re Awake
Healthy sleep isn't just about being tired; it's about your internal chemistry being in the right place at the right time. We investigate:
- Cortisol Hijacking: If your stress hormones spike at night (instead of in the morning), you will feel "wired" when you should be sleepy.
- Mineral Depletion: A lack of Magnesium or an imbalance in Sodium/Potassium can prevent your nervous system from "switching off."
- The Gut-Brain Connection: Gut inflammation and parasites can actually become more active at night, releasing toxins that trigger "micro-awakenings."
- Copper Toxicity: High levels of copper (often seen on HTMA) can act as a brain stimulant, making it impossible to quiet the mind.
Precision Testing for Restorative Sleep
To fix your sleep, we need to see your 24-hour biochemical rhythm.
- EndoMap (Hormonal & Adrenal Mapping): This is our most powerful tool for sleep. It tracks your Cortisol rhythm across the day and night, showing us exactly when your "stress" system is interfering with your "rest" system.
- HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): We check for the "Sedative Minerals" (Magnesium and Calcium) and look for heavy metals that overstimulate the brain.
- GI Mapping: We investigate whether gut dysbiosis or hidden infections are causing nighttime inflammation that disrupts your sleep cycles.
- Genetic Testing: To see if you have genetic variations in your circadian rhythm genes or your ability to clear "stimulating" neurotransmitters like Dopamine.
- AVATAR Bio-Energetic Scanning: To assess the energetic stress on your pineal gland (melatonin production) and your nervous system.
The Roadmap to Deep Rest
Our goal is to retrain your body to enter—and stay in—deep, restorative sleep.
- Circadian Reset: Using light therapy and nutritional timing to anchor your body's clock.
- Handcrafted Herbal Medicine: Using "Sedative" and "Hypnotic" herbs (like Valerian, Passionflower, and Zizyphus) to gently guide the brain into sleep states.
- Mineral Loading: Correcting the specific deficiencies that allow your muscles and nerves to relax.
- Nervous System Taming: Techniques to move you from "Sympathetic" (Fight or Flight) to "Parasympathetic" (Rest and Digest).
