  • Fix a few things

    I like that’s she’s doing this sleep series but it’s very hard to find the numbered episodes when she doesn’t number them anywhere to find? So how would I find episode 3 when we are on episode 143? Help please.

    Also, if you really want help- try Martin Reed, the Insomnia Coach. Martha just gave me anxiety and had me convinced I needed to do a bunch of expensive tests but Martin assures you that you can get sleep again and helps retrain the brain.

  • I had no idea

    I loved the interview with Dr. Patel and how we must breath to sleep better. So many people breath shallow and after listen I’ll focus on the techniques offered.

  • Very informative but maybe try new music at the end

    As an insomniac, I enjoy listening when I can’t sleep. Very informative and gives me confidence and a sense of peace that I can overcome insomnia. I load many episodes in my queue in hopes that I’ll eventually fall asleep, which I do. However, I am awaken every time by the music at the end of each episode which doesn’t fit the tone at all. Everything else has been great and I enjoy listening otherwise!

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

The show centers on diagnosing sleep trouble by looking at the body as a connected system. Each episode blends client case studies with a holistic, test-driven approach—covering hormones, gut health, toxins, liver detox, neurotransmitters, and circadian factors—to explain why sleep is disrupted and how to recover naturally. A recurring theme is guiding listeners through practical steps, lab testing, and targeted interventions rather than quick fixes, with occasional promotion of a complete sleep solution program. A standout angle is translating complex biology into actionable routines, making the host a trusted resource for both individuals and professionals seeking deeper insights into insomnia and sleep optimization.
