My client Laurie said:
“Lately I’ve been sleeping 7-8 hours a night. I can get up and go to the bathroom and I can go right back to sleep, most of the time. Sometimes I’ll have an issue where a night or two will be a little funky. But then I just get back to it. So I don’t worry about that because my pattern now is more to sleep, than not to sleep…in a big way.

Why can't you sleep?
Both your mind AND your body contribute to your sleep issues.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps with the mental part.
Doctors may try to help with the physical part but they usually end up prescribing sleeping pills or anti-anxiety medication.
The only way to truly get over your insomnia is to find out what's going on in both your body and your mind and correct all of those things at once.

My client Jaipal said:
“The Complete Sleep Solution has truly been life-changing. That isn't just a cliche statement for a testimonial. It is just the truth. My life can be divided into Pre-Martha, and Post-Martha. Before I met with Martha, I was waking up exhausted every single day and sluggishly fighting through each day feeling like I had no energy, no clarity, and no creativity. As an Architect, I need each of those three things to succeed. I started losing confidence in my creative abilities, and my self-worth, and really went down a dark path.
Through a series of lab tests, through metrics and analysis, Martha was able to hone in on the source of my restlessness and lack of proper sleep. She also gave me very useful tools to release stress, both emotional and mental, as well as a full education on the entire subject of sleep.
Less than two weeks into the program, I began to notice some changes. A month in, I started to sleep much better.
Two months in, I realized I had dropped 15 lbs of extra weight. I started waking up with more energy and found that I could get through a full day with focus and attention. Three months in, I had fully formed new habits, transformed my diet, and transformed my body. It's been nearly six months since I initially started the program. And, I have regained the confidence, energy and positivity that I always remembered throughout my life. I feel good. I feel creative. I feel like I am a success. And, just in time! My 40th birthday is tomorrow! Thank you, Martha!"
Show Notes
There's one main hormone that sabotages your sleep. When your body constantly releases cortisol to deal with stress, it affects your body in many different ways, and they aren't good! Learn more in this illuminating episode.
My clients tell me this explains everything for them: why they can't sleep and why they don't feel well.
If you’re experiencing any symptoms at all, including sleep problems, you have cortisol regulation issues and you’re nowhere near perfect health. It takes more than supplements, diet and exercise to get back in balance. The longer you wait to address it, the longer and harder it’s going to be to get better.

My client Rachel said:
“After discovering Martha and enlisting her services, she did a full analysis of my body and helped me to understand the imbalance and why I wasn't able to fall asleep/stay asleep. She gave me natural solutions on how to get my body flow back in balance and after a year of following her advice, I can fall asleep and stay asleep on my own. I won't ever go back to prescription pills-thanks to Martha. Whatever advice she is giving you, take it. She has your best interests in mind as she did mine. Because of this, I no longer have a negative relationship with sleep. I rarely think about the upcoming sleep which is the opposite of how it used to be. I used to dread going to sleep and would think about it all day long-- now I can appreciate it more. I'm finally getting the consistent enough results I've been looking for my whole life.
Knowing what I know now through this experience with you, makes me realize how terrible the literature & culture on insomnia is.
It blows my mind all the people in your Facebook group who comment on all the crazy stuff they've been doing to try to sleep such as weighted blankets, psyh drugs, cognitive behavioral psychology studies, pills pills and more pills.
You hold the easy answer to everyone's sleeping problems and it's almost criminal that society makes people think all these other tools are the solution to what is simply an out of balance body.”

If you can’t sleep, your body is in chaos!
Your body wants to be in balance, but when it can’t handle all the stress it’s under, it gets completely out of balance and all the systems stop working optimally.
In this episode, I explain the concept of "metabolic chaos" and why it is the sole, overarching reason why you can't sleep.
You'll learn:
what metabolic chaos means
what causes metabolic chaos
how metabolic chaos can lead to insomnia
the problem with treating symptoms instead the root cause
how to get out of metabolic chaos so you can sleep normally
We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

My client Wes said:
“I’m doing great. I’m getting back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. I still wake up most nights, but I’m able to get back to sleep fairly quickly. I’m sleeping 7-8 hours a night. I feel really good. Physically, I feel better. Mentally, I feel better. And even nutritionally, I have gained a little weight, not a lot, but a couple of pounds here and there, but that’s probably good. I feel great. I’m doing really well. And in general, just happier. I’m not worried about sleep. It’s not constantly on my mind. It was consuming so much of my thinking throughout the day, and now I’m not worried about it. I sleep well. I look forward to going to bed. And I wake up pretty refreshed. I’m doing really well.”
Show Notes
If you Google "how to sleep better" you'll find the same tips:
don't watch screens before bed
don't drink caffeine past 2 p.m.
follow a relaxing bedtime routine
exercise everyday
etc.
These tips don't work for most people with chronic insomnia and I explain why in this episode.

My client Mike said:
“I am 66 years old and have always had trouble sleeping. I am about 60 days into the program with Martha which started with an evaluation and then lab testing. Now I am taking various supplements that Martha has recommended. I am sleeping better already!
Just as important, I have learned more about my body than I have ever known and that includes much more than just sleep related issues. If you want help with your sleep and want to learn as I have, Martha is dedicated, competent, honest, wholehearted and she has answers. Her knowledge of body chemistry and treatment including diet is extremely impressive. You can feel better."

The medical system can’t help you with insomnia.
This is because insomnia is caused by imbalances in your body. Your body isn’t totally healthy if you can’t sleep normally. (Even if you eat well and exercise and care about your health.)
Building health and fixing disease are two different things.
In this episode, I explain why the medical system can’t solve your insomnia AND what can!

“I cannot tell you what an amazing feeling it is to be able to fall asleep pretty quickly at night, and then fall back asleep in the middle of the night, and wake up actually feeling rested. I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling really rested and not being on some form of medication.

Does your monkey mind keep you awake at night?
Either you can’t fall asleep or you wake up with your mind racing?
It’s not your fault!
Your ruminating thoughts might seem like a mental problem but it’s not all in your head. There are true physiological reasons why you can’t control your thoughts.
In this episode, you’ll learn the 4 main reasons why you have a racing mind that’s keeping you awake at night.
You’ll see that your mind isn't racing because you aren't meditating enough or because you don’t know how to control your brain. Physical imbalances are causing your mental symptoms. Therapy gives you great tools to try to manage anxious thoughts but it won’t help you get to the root of why this is happening
The only way to calm your racing mind without medication is to find out what’s causing it and correct it. That’s exactly what we can help you with.
We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

My client Emily said:
"Right from the start your program helped me to sleep. When I contacted you I had been going 5-7 days without sleeping and my entire body was failing because of it. There seemed to be no hope, no prescription, no "cure". I am constantly referring to others to the immediate success I had working with you and how the lab tests legitimately found the imbalances in my body which were causing my sleep issues so I was able to keep improving. I am just so grateful to have started your program and will be able to use what I learned as a stepping stone to continue to keep up my health."

“Before working with you, I was constantly waking up through the night and often could not go back to sleep. I was excited to get some help.
I have learned that I (and most of my family) are gluten intolerant, (that was hard to take at first but has been a real help in my diet), I learned some mental tricks about sleep that help me, learned some behavioral problems. I also had a gut parasite and imbalance that once was fixed I now feel much better as far as general health.I liked your attention to my physical health in all of the tests we did. I found that the food sensitivity test was particularly helpful.I now sleep through the night, I still wake up often but that is because of my CPAP, but I am almost always able to go back to sleep and I feel more rested throughout the day.Thanks again for all your help, I really am happy that we went down the road, as hard as it was to hear some of the bad news, it has really helped me and my family.”
