Part 3 = Menopausal Insomnia


Wouldn't it be great to just sleep all day--or even take a short 'cat nap'? Sheesh! These cats have it made! 😴


So if you've been following my previous posts, I'm doing a Menopause/MANOPAUSE series. Yes, even men are affected by hormonal changes. Hopefully this information serves BOTH any and all that can benefit from the information.


This week I'm talking about insomnia. 💤 There is SOOO much information out there for over the counter or prescription meds--but I want to talk about NATURAL healing products/food/ideas. Things I've tried with GREAT success. I know my body is capable of healing itself and has proved this to be true with everything I've done so far.


🧐 Let's face it--when estrogen and progesterone decline, and they go hand in hand hormonally speaking, sleep is going to be affected. Progesterone is a sleep inducing hormone. Totally makes sense, so how do we counteract this decline?


Let's dive in!


➡️ Sleep routine. Got one? I know you've heard it time and time again, but have you truly put it into practice? So I challenged myself (I love challenges, if you haven't noticed) to do the sleep routine for 30 days. Here's what I did:

  • Epsom salt bath (or hot tubbed)

  • Lavender/patchouli on the bottom of my feet and hair line

  • Magnesium

  • Golden flaxseed ground (not flax meal)

  • no electronics 1 hour before bed

  • deep breathing/sleep meditation

Probably in that order. THEN I kept a sleep journal. What have I noticed? YES! I am sleeping way better 9 times out of 10.


👇🏼Here are some other remedies to try if you want the natural route:

  1. Valerian Root

  2. 5-HTP

  3. Theanine

  4. Lemon Balm Complex

  5. Tart cherry juice

  6. Black Cohosh

  7. Chamomile tea

  8. Melatonin

🌸 I highly recommend muscle testing every supplement before taking it.

Pushup contest is STILL going strong! You still doing it?


 

🥳 Lastly, get ready for the SHOWDOWN!! Coming in July a brand new exciting program. Yours to keep and revisit as long and as much as you want to! Can't wait to share the big news!! WOOP! STAY TUNED!!!

Did you check back in my blogs?? Just search Menopause or part 1. I think you'll find it. I posted it a couple weeks ago. 🙂
