so i wanted to create a video on all the  different possible reasons that is keeping  

you from sleeping i’ve done a series of videos on  sleep and how important it is for everything from  

your memory to your metabolism to your blood  sugars okay so let’s just go through the list  

if you have cramping which can keep you up at  night it’s a simple solution calcium and magnesium  

all right hot flashes that could keep you upright  iodine in the form of seek help i recommend that  

vitamin e in the form of tocatrinols which  will support the pituitary which is a key  

gland to help prevent high flashes now you can  also take calcium diglucrate which can help hot  

flashes as well but most of the time it’s going to  be vitamin e sometimes you have to add some iodine  

and that should handle it but we’re  really doing with an imbalance of  

low progesterone extremely low progesterone and  low estrogen but the ratios are off okay a stuffy  

sinus congestion can keep you from sleeping  because you’re not going to be able to breathe  

the first thing you need to do is avoid dairy  any type of dairy products because that’s going  

to create mucus and it’s going to stuff up  your nose i also notice if when people drink  

wine every night that can make their nose stuffy  and i don’t know if it’s the alcohol directly  

or the sulfites i’m not sure but typically there’s  something you’re eating that could be causing  

the sinuses to be stuffy if you have a year-round  mucous congestion oregano and garlic seems to work  

really good but again if you have sinus problems  there’s more data on this i put a link down below  

to learn more about it excessive urination  that’s going to keep you up some people get up  

10 times a night to urinate completely unnecessary  and this can be fully handled if you lower your  

insulin how do you do that healthy keto and  intermittent fasting i put a link down below  

but if you’re new to my channel i’m telling you  this is like a no-brainer it works nearly 100 of  

the time um because anytime your blood sugars  are high or you have insulin resistance water  

follows sugar so you’re going to urinate more  frequently especially at night all right restless  

leg syndrome okay this is a simple b1 deficiency  it’s typically occurring because you’re consuming  

too many carbs that’s depleting your vitamin  b1 the best source of b1 is nutritional yeast  

and that will get rid of your restlessness in  your legs now i used to have this so bad for  

so many years i didn’t know what it was i would  actually have to get up literally pound my legs  

or massage them or go for a run because i  had all this energy trapped up i had no idea  

it was the high carbs okay and the b1 deficiency  now if you’re over training or exercised too much  

that can also cause the same thing a buildup  of lactic acid or restlessness and b1  

actually gets rid of lactic acid in the body but  also omega-3 will help all right sleep apnea this  

is a situation where you’re getting a thickening  of the passages in the back of the nasal area  

and the solution would be to decrease insulin  i’ve done videos on this just do healthy keto  

and intermittent fasting and you will see a  progressive improvement over time in your sleep  

apnea okay high cortisol from stress that’s going  to keep you up you want to make sure that you  

don’t consume stimulants so cut down on the  caffeine and the coffee the tea the chocolate  

over doing that will definitely keep you up go for  long walks physical work is very very therapeutic  

around your yard whatever make sure you  turn off the light and not have bright  

lights right before you go to bed you want  to slowly kind of get away from bright lights  

emf or your electrical devices around your um your  bed which a lot of times people sleep with their  

cell phone right next to the bed not a good idea  because emf electromagnetic fields can greatly  

increase cortisol and there’s a lot more actions  to do but high cortisol will definitely keep  

you up that was my problem for many years too  there was nights i didn’t even sleep one minute  

and so i had to handle my the high  cortisol and you can also do a saliva  

test that measures your circadian rhythms with  cortisol to find out if that’s your problem  

their home kits you can buy online but it’s  definitely a source of a lot of sleeping problems  

okay let’s say you can’t fall asleep easily  you’re laying there for hours that was me too and  

your body just will not go to sleep your  body actually goes through four levels  

of sleep from a light sleep to a deep sleep  and they they go through like a 90 minute cycle  

if you go to sleep too late let’s say uh past 12  o’clock now you have to catch the wave so it might  

be more difficult to go to sleep and you might  have to wait like 90 minutes before you catch the  

next wave so typically if you go to bed before  10 you’re in good shape personally i go to bed  

very early like 9 but i get up very early that’s  just what i i seem to like couple reasons why you  

can’t fall asleep you have a high pulse rate that  could come from a lack of potassium because you  

don’t like vegetables or or you need potassium or  your ph is too acidic because you are consuming um  

too much sugar or you’re consuming kombucha tea  which will acidify you and and throw off your ph  

caffeine from chocolate coffee tea too much of  that will keep you up bloating because you’re  

you’re not eating the right foods will keep you  from falling asleep low potassium foods will keep  

you from falling asleep in fact i’ve noticed when  i don’t consume enough vegetable like for example  

seven cups or like a big salad and i skip that  it’s more difficult to go to sleep because i  

just don’t have the potassium so leafy greens  important next point is to be able to relax i  

created a video on an exercise just to totally  relax your body through the day because so many  

people are holding tension and they’re they’re  stressed out there’s a great thing you can do  

i put the link down below you should practice  this through the day when you’re driving a car  

totally relax your body when you’re  going through stress during the day  

totally relax your body and that is going to  help you sleep at night all right next thing is  

restaurant foods i don’t know if you’ve noticed  this but the times that you go out to dinner  

do you not sleep as well comment down below i’m  curious i found that if i eat out my sleeping  

isn’t right and i think it’s because of  the the quality of food in restaurants  

omega 6 fatty acids they’ll use soy or  corn oil not good it affects the liver  

it affects the gallbladder so try to eat it  at home as much as possible there you have it  

a lot of the reasons why you can’t sleep hey  before you go real quick i have a course entitled  

how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a  free course i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate  

and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put
