Got Insomnia? Blood Sugar Issues, hormones, or SIBO can be a factor!

Thanks again to

@Damiana Corca

for taking time to share with us her knowledge about getting better sleep!

Some big takeaways from the talk for me-

1.) Blood sugar can be a contributing factor to sleep issues. If blood pressure is too low or too high, it can make it hard to get good sleep

2.) A continuous glucose monitor is a great tool for balancing blood sugar! Nutrisense and Dexcam are companies that offer monitors for purchase without a doctor’s prescription

3.) Insight Timer is a great app that has guided meditations and yoga Nidra meditations that can help with sleep

4.) a Food Marble is a device that can measure hydrogen and methane in the breath and support people in monitoring Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Gut issues such as SIBo can be a contributing factor in the quality of our sleep

There was lots more in that conversation, but these are a few!
