From a client's digestion, stress levels, relationships, blood sugar management, and even sleep hygiene.
Why would someone want to work with me? What makes me different? I believe that each client is a person not what ails them at the time they are seeking help. Clients I treat as individuals and there is not one protocol or approach for each person. I usually see clients who have already tried mainstream medical care and are just not finding the relief they sought. They know there is more work to do however, they are possibly not being heard by their current healthcare providers or not at their optimal state of health that they know they can feel or once felt.

Sleep Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is the relationship between diet and sleep?
Both the quality and quantity of one's diet can significantly impact sleep. Consuming large amounts of caffeine or sugar-rich foods before bedtime can hinder sleep quality. Caffeine can keep you awake, while sugar can spike blood sugar levels and reduce feelings of tiredness. Additionally, eating large meals immediately before sleeping can be detrimental to sleep hygiene, as the body expends significant energy digesting the food, which can interfere with sleep. In general, an irregular eating schedule can disrupt the circadian rhythm, so maintaining regular meal times, potentially eating smaller amounts but at more frequent intervals throughout the day, may be important for supporting a healthy sleep schedule. Lastly, a healthy diet and weight is also crucial for overall sleep quality, as conditions like obesity can increase the risk of some sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
What foods help you fall asleep?
Some foods contain specific nutrients that promote sleep and can facilitate healthy rest when consumed before bedtime. Melatonin, a molecule that promotes drowsiness, is found in foods such as nuts, cherries, dairy products, eggs, and fish. Tryptophan, another sleep-promoting molecule, increases melatonin production and is commonly found in poultry (turkey and chicken), dairy, and eggs. Additionally, certain nutrients like magnesium contribute to better sleep. Magnesium-rich foods include seeds, nuts, fruits like bananas, figs, avocados, and leafy greens.
How does caffeine impact sleep health?
Caffeine is a chemical compound that prevents feelings of tiredness by blocking adenosine receptors. Adenosine promotes sleepiness when it binds to its receptors, so caffeine's antagonism of these receptors functions as a stimulant, keeping you awake. Caffeine is naturally found in foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, and chocolate, and it is often added to processed foods like energy drinks and soda. While caffeine can be helpful when one needs to stay awake, it can be highly detrimental to sleep health. Sleep experts generally recommend avoiding caffeine within 6-8 hours prior to bedtime to prevent its negative effects on sleep. Even outside this window, caffeine can significantly influence the body's internal clock and disrupt natural sleep-wake cycles. Individuals who are particularly sensitive to caffeine may find that consuming it at any time of the day can disrupt their sleep.
Can sleeping issues be cured with nutrition?
Whether diet can cure an individual's sleep issues depends on various individual factors. However, sleep-friendly dietary strategies can help many people reduce their sleeping problems, if not entirely resolve them. For some, adjusting caffeine consumption patterns may be sufficient to resolve their sleep difficulties. In other cases, adopting a healthy diet can promote better sleep in the long term. For example, overweight individuals who are at a higher risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea or similar sleep disorders may make nutrition changes that promote weight loss and thus help reduce sleep apnea symptoms and improve sleeping issues. Additionally, many individuals find that simply eliminating high-sugar and high-fat foods, especially before bed, can improve sleep quality on a consistent basis over time.
