Welcome to a brand-new season of Sleep Reimagined! In this episode, hosts Nyree Penn dives deep into the powerful connection between sleep and hormones, a topic that affects all of us, but which many people overlook when trying to improve their rest.
Nyree Penn unpacks what’s really going on beneath the surface when sleep feels elusive, exploring why something as basic as a hormone shift can turn restful nights into restless ones. From teenagers staying up past midnight to women experiencing sleeplessness during menopause, and even men coping with low testosterone, the conversation reveals how hormones act as neuromodulators and why sleep itself is often just the symptom, not the root cause.
You’ll learn how everything from stress and cortisol, to serotonin made in the gut, influences your nightly recharge. Nyree Penn shares real-life insights gained from working with patients across the lifespan and discusses innovative approaches for tackling sleep disturbances at their core, including neurotransmitter testing and prosomnia sleep therapy.
If you've ever wondered why your sleep patterns have shifted with age, battled night sweats and 3am wake-ups, or just feel like no bedtime routine is working, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening inside your body and what you can do about it. Get ready for science, practical advice, and empowering strategies to help you take control of your sleep, by addressing the real biological roots.
