Welcome to episode 56! Today’s episode is centered around something quite elusive to me right now— SLEEP. Naturopathic doctor Dr. Leigha Saunders joins me to share her knowledge and expertise on how to get a good night’s sleep and why it’s vital to our health and wellbeing. She shares all kinds of tips, and even has her own sleep course called the Sleep Fix, which you can take advantage of (special code!) if you love the episode and want to learn more. My husband and I welcomed our first baby just one month ago, and we’re so in love. With a newborn in our home comes very little and broken sleep, so this is a particularly ironic time to be releasing this episode about sleep. Will we ever sleep again? You tell me. :) Enjoy the episode! In this episode, we talk about: how Dr. Saunders became an ND and why she specializes in sleep why sleep is important to our health + main stages of sleep signs that we’re not getting the rest we need and common sleep hygiene concerns how to fix sleep disturbances + what we can do during the day to improve sleep at night the ideal sleep environment & more All about Dr. Leigha Saunders: Dr. Leigha Saunders is a naturopathic doctor obsessed with all things sleep. In her waking hours, you can find her on a mission to help other women gain energy, balance their mood, regulate hormones and sleep deep at night - particularly as they navigate hormone changes from PMS to menopause.
