78: Avoid this one food if you want to sleep better!

from The Sleep Detective podcast: why you can't sleep and how to fix it · host Martha Lewis

Inflammation is a main cause of insomnia. That’s because when there’s inflammation, your body releases cortisol because it’s an anti-inflammatory hormone. When your body releases cortisol at night, you feel wired (even though you’re exhausted) and you can’t sleep. One of the main contributors to inflammation is the food we eat. Refined sugar, alcohol, processed foods and vegetable oils cause inflammation in your body. There’s another food in particular that causes inflammation in almost all of my clients. If you can't sleep, it's likely that this food is affecting your sleep, too. If you can’t sleep, you want to listen to this episode! In this episode, you’ll find out: How this food affects sleep. Why this food is hard to digest these days. Symptoms of sensitivity (your gut may feel fine!). How to find out if you’re sensitive to this food. Why it feels hard to eliminate this common food.
