Sleep isn't just rest, and if you're struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, your body is trying to tell you something.
Katie and Cris are getting into one of the most common issues they see with clients: sleep. In this episode, they break down what your body is actually doing while you sleep, why so many people are stuck in that wired-but-tired cycle, and what's really driving the problem — from blood sugar crashes and mineral imbalances to cortisol patterns and gut health. They also walk through their sleep supplement ladder so you know exactly what to try and when, without jumping straight to melatonin.
