from Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach · host Laura Lummer

If you've ever struggled with tossing and turning at night, you're probably familiar with the commonly used supplement, melatonin.  Most of us know melatonin and the sleep hormone.   It's what our bodies make when it's time to go to bed, right?  Well, yes.   But did you know that the amount of melatonin that your brain produces at night is only about 5% of what your body makes?  So where does the other 95% come from, and what does your body use it for?  In today's Tuesday Terrain Talk, you'll learn about the other 95% of melatonin production and its mind-blowing range of benefits for your health, from anti-inflammatory to anti-cancer.  Even better, I'll tell you an easy and enjoyable way to support your body in making more melatonin on its own.  Listen now and you may be doing a lot more for yourself than just sleeping more soundly.    Referred to in this Episode:  Better than Before Breast Cancer Life Coaching Membership  Melatonin for Prevention of Breast Radiation Dermatitis: A Phase II, Prospective, Double-Blind Randomized Trial  The efficacy and safety of melatonin in concurrent chemotherapy or radiotherapy for solid tumors: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials  Melatonin  Melatonin & Breast Cancer  Follow me on Social Media:  Facebook  Instagram  Pinterest  YouTube
