Can’t sleep — even when you’re doing everything “right”?
You’re in bed by 10. No screens. No caffeine. Everything should be working… but you’re still wide awake. Or waking up at 3AM. Or crashing hard in the morning like sleep never happened.

If you’ve tried melatonin, magnesium, or “sleep hygiene” without results — this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Root Cause Rx Podcast, I’m breaking down the real root causes of insomnia, night waking, and restless sleep — and why it’s not just about your bedtime routine.

We’ll cover:
• Why blood sugar crashes can wake you up at 2–3AM
• How cortisol rhythms and “second wind” energy mess with deep sleep
• What inflammation and histamine do to your brain’s ability to power down
• How your gut, liver, and hormones quietly sabotage your sleep cycles
• And how to shift from wired-but-tired to deeply rested — without sedatives

Whether you can’t fall asleep, wake up anxious, or feel exhausted even after 8 hours — this is your roadmap back to real rest.

Because sleep isn’t just a routine.
It’s a reflection of how safe and regulated your body feels.
