Sleep

Not sleeping well can be caused by a variety of factors, from stress to diet to lifestyle. One factor that is often overlooked is gut health. Poor gut health can lead to disruptions in sleep, as issues like bloating, constipation, and indigestion can make it difficult to get restful sleep. Additionally, the bacteria in the gut produce serotonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate sleep. Imbalances in the gut can lead to imbalances in serotonin, which can lead to poor sleep.  Good quality sleep is essential for optimal gut health. Studies have shown that getting enough sleep is associated with improved gut health, as well as a healthier microbiome. Sleep helps regulate our hormones, which can have a significant impact on our gut health. Poor sleep can lead to higher levels of inflammation in the body, which can worsen existing gut issues. Research has also found a link between poor sleep and an imbalanced gut microbiome. Therefore, getting enough quality sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy gut and microbiome.  If you would like to get more information on gut health, please take the free gut health assessment and I will be in contact with you soon!
