Improving Your Sleep

Below are the key areas to review to help improve sleep quality.

Digestion

Your gut and sleep patterns work in an axis – a two-way street of communication. They influence each other in either synergistic or antagonistic cycles. When you’re unaware of this connection, it can lead you in a downward health spiral, which can be confusing because symptoms (such as teeth grinding) seem unrelated to the gut. This Study shows that both the microbial rhythm of your gut and that of your circadian rhythm greatly influence each other, which may directly affect your quality of sleep.

Hormone Balancing Oils

Hormones drive our behaviour and influence everything from our energy, mood, and many aspects of overall health. Hormones such as oestrogen, testosterone, adrenaline and insulin — are extremely important chemical messengers. Hormones are secreted by various glands and organs in the body, including your thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, ovaries, testicles and pancreas. The entire endocrine system works together to control the level of hormones circulating throughout your body, and if one or more is even even slightly imbalanced it can cause widespread, major health problems.

Stress & Essential Oils

In the years I have been health coaching the most common health issue I hear of pretty much daily is how stressed people are.

While we commonly think of stress as too much mental or emotional pressure, physiological or physical stress is also important. Stress can affect how you feel, think and behave as well as how your body works, because your mind and body constantly interact.

The levels of stress become a health issue when it is not managed well.

Sleep & Essential Oils

Why is sleep so important?

Although not always applied well, the idea of good nutrition and exercise to improve our health, is considered common knowledge. But what if I told you that when it comes to letting go of old weight, that sleep beats nutrition?

In fact, short sleep duration is one of the strongest risk factors for obesity.
