The Provider Series: Tanya Nix, NP, on Why Sleep Might Be the Most Important Thing for Your Hormones

In this episode of the Provider Series, CEO Tylar Brannon sits down with Tanya Nix, Nurse Practitioner at our Greenville office, for a deep dive into one of the most important pillars of health: sleep.

They break down what really happens in your body at night, from brain detoxification and immune repair to hormone balance and metabolic health. Tonya explains how cortisol, melatonin, testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen all influence sleep, and why issues often start years before menopause.

They also explore how poor sleep affects mood, fertility, weight, insulin resistance, and long-term disease risk, as well as the lifestyle habits and supplements that can help you get truly restorative rest.

If you’re dealing with brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, or irregular cycles, this episode will help you understand why sleep could be the missing link.
