In episode #18, I discuss the possibility that the foods you are eating are disrupting your gut biome, thereby driving patterns of insomnia.
Additionally, I explore the how the common use of stimulants and other common foods disrupt the stability of your blood sugar, hormones, and sleep.
Common caffeinated stimulants:
Coffee, tea, chocolate, caffeinated sodas, energy drinks
Common blood sugar disruptors:
Too much carbohydrate at dinner
Insufficient Protein at dinner
Insufficient Fat at dinner
Food sensitivities and allergies
Foods that foster dysbiosis (negatively impacting gut bacteria associated with disease, etc)
