Why You Can't SLEEP! Simple Fix

from Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast · host Dr. Eric Berg

In this podcast, I’m going to tell you how to sleep better at night. Many people suffer from numerous sleep issues and disturbances, such as trouble getting to sleep, frequent waking to urinate, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. Vitamin D can improve all of these sleep issues. Not only can it improve sleep quality, but it can also improve gut health and immune function. Vitamin D works synergistically with magnesium, which improves cramping, restless leg syndrome, heart palpitations, and high cortisol levels. If you're taking magnesium for these issues and it's not working, it could be because you need vitamin D. Vitamin D is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories. Sleep, diet, and exercise are vital for your health, with sleep at the top of the list. The nerves in the hypothalamus that control sleep are full of vitamin D receptors. If you’re obese, diabetic, or aging, your need for vitamin D dramatically increases. Less than 40 ng/mL of vitamin D can negatively affect your health. Vitamin D levels should be between 70 and 100 ng/mL or more for therapeutic benefit. Blood tests detect the inactive form of vitamin D and can’t tell you if vitamin D is reaching your cells. Try taking at least 30,000 IUs of vitamin D3 for better sleep, and remember to consume plenty of water daily. Cut down on dairy to limit calcium intake and take vitamin K2, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6, the cofactors of vitamin D. For better sleep, try the following sleeping tips: •Take vitamin D with cofactors at the last meal of the day •Make sure the room is cool •Avoid electronics and bright lights 2 hours before bed DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38414320 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31759... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
