Today we’re going to talk about the link between digestion and sleep. I’m also going to give you some helpful tips for better sleep. You need enough melatonin to get to sleep and stay asleep. But, melatonin supplements may not be the best idea because you’re not fixing the root cause of your sleep problem. Melatonin comes from another hormone called serotonin—90% of the serotonin in your body is made with the help of your friendly bacteria. Your friendly bacteria turns tryptophan into serotonin and then converts it to melatonin. But, you also need vitamin B6 to help with these conversions. If you have trouble sleeping, it’s important to focus on supporting your microbiome. Here are a few fantastic ways to support the microbiome so you can start sleeping better: • Take probiotics  • Take vitamin B6 • Consume kefir  • Consume fermented foods (sauerkraut or kimchi) • Consume fiber from vegetables (unless you have a gut problem) If you do intermittent fasting, you may start getting better sleep if you shift your eating window to earlier in the day. This means you would have breakfast and your second meal no later than 3 pm. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Lynne's Podcast Lynne August MD Dr. A offers her interpretations and applications of Dr. Revici’s profound research at DrRevici.com and the Revici Journal. Dr. Revici was arguably fifty to one hundred years ahead of his time in his application of quantum physics to medical sciences. As a once-aspiring physicist, this alone propelled Dr. A to Dr. Revici. As a physician, she felt compelled, and in some palpable way responsible, to understand Dr. Revici’s ability to control pain and achieve remissions in terminal cancer patients with his non-toxic “guided chemotherapy”, even many cancers that conventional therapy failed to control. Most of the time his questions and solutions were as unprecedented as they were effective. While Dr. Revici was primarily focused on cancer, Dr. A’s research and therapeutics to prevent and treat all chronic and degenerative disease can transform 21st century medicine.
