Going back thousands of years, our ancestors understood that deep rest is perhaps the most powerful medicine we have access to. For this reason, every ancient healing tradition has its own remedies and nightly protocols formulated to give you that nightly reset.
The Indian sadhus, Tibetan monks, Lakota medicine men, and Mayan midwives all understand this one thing:
Each day is a new life, but only if you properly shed the skin of yesterday each night and are reborn anew. To truly rest means being able to surrender to the universe, to let everything that happened today go… just for now. So you can enter the healing waves of deep sleep, allowing them to wash your fatigue, stress toxins, and wounds of this mortal life away.
That said, most of us find a good night’s sleep increasingly hard to come by as we get older. Whether it’s in your 30s after you start having kids, in your 40s as your hormones begin to shift, your 50s as you start experiencing those charming new aches and pains, 60s …, 70s…, and beyond.
Over time, the poor sleep (and resulting drop in energy and vitality) just becomes the new normal. We figure out ways to make up for it – with caffeine, with a midday nap, with a glass or two of wine at night, with a couple extra calories here and there… and often find ourselves developing other health issues as a result.
Did you know that anxiety, depression, unwanted weight gain, joint and muscle pain, gut health issues, and autoimmune disorders – not to mention exhaustion and fatigue – are often the direct result of poor sleep?
Does it have to be this way?
Our goal with this webinar is to help you figure out what’s really going on with your sleep, using a process of root cause discovery. Dr. Demeri will show you how to use daily practices, nightly rituals, herbal allies, supplements, mindfulness exercises, and inner healing work to get the best rest of your life.
The different types of insomnia that many experience, how to identify which you might be experiencing, and how to repair it.
The most common sleep disruptors (from adrenal fatigue to emotional stress) and the symptoms of each.
Key supplements that you can add to your “sleep stack” to support healthy zzzs – such as GABA, L Theanine, Melatonin, Magnesium, and Inositol.
Herbal allies that you can add to your regimen. These beauty sleep aids have been used for millennia – things like hops, valerian, passionflower, and skullcap.
The fascinating science of sleep architecture – the natural stages your body cycles through each night – and how they influence your healing, memory, and energy.
The connection between your hormonal balance and the quality of your sleep. This is a big one for getting the full restorative healing benefits from a full night’s rest.
The link between poor sleep and the feelings of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm that seem to be engulfing the world right now.
Common myths about sleep (such as how much you need each night) that have been debunked…
And much more!
I used to wake up at 3 a.m. almost every night with racing thoughts. After seeing Dr. Demeri’s program for my sleep, I finally understand what my body needs. I’m falling asleep faster, staying asleep, and waking up refreshed. My energy and mood are so much more stable — I’m a better mom, partner, and co-worker because of it. I wish I had found this years ago!
As a busy working mom, I thought exhaustion was just part of life. Dr. D showed me how to sync my sleep with my hormones and my lifestyle. The progesterone has been a life changer! I now also have a bedtime ritual I actually look forward to! I feel calmer, more grounded, and my skin and hair even looks better. It’s like I got my spark back after having 3 kids.
I didn’t realize how much poor sleep was affecting everything — from my blood pressure to my memory. Dr. Demeri’s approach is holistic but practical. The dietary changes, exercise routine, and light exposure tips made a huge difference. I’m sleeping through the night now, and I have the energy to get back on my bike again!
After menopause, I thought restless nights were just something I had to accept. This program helped me understand my body’s rhythms and gave me tools that actually work. I’m sleeping deeper, dreaming again, and even my daytime fatigue has lifted. I feel like myself again — rested, joyful, and alive. And a bonus that came from it, my weight and osteoporosis have reversed from the hormonal help!
