In this episode, we're talking with Kareese Laguerre about what may be keeping us from getting that perfect night's rest as midlife women. She's also sharing tons of solutions that will have you sleeping like a baby even if you are struggling with midlife changes—so you can get the best quality sleep possible.
- Traditional medicine can be very beneficial, but oftentimes, it provides palliative options and does not really get to the root cause of health issues.
- There are issues that are so common to children, may it be physical or behavioral, that we just write them off as normal. But if we never do anything about them, these children may grow into unhealthy adults.
- We tend to focus on the wrong areas. Everything important is above the shoulders, but people usually focus on the muscles below.
- Myofunctional therapy is sort of like personal training that aims to optimize our breathing for better sleep and neural function. It sounds like a simple concept, but it can profoundly affect our health.
- Sleep is very intertwined with breathing. We tend to just lie down and get it over with, but breathing is actually key to helping us regulate sleep.
- Breathing issues, like snoring and sleep apnea, are common causes of poor sleep. This is because the brain becomes busy ensuring you're still getting enough oxygen to be alive instead of focusing on your sleep.
- Many people have some level of fatigue, but not all fatigue is the same. Many things, including sleep problems and dietary issues can cause fatigue.
- A good sleep routine is just as important to adults as it is to children. It's necessary for good physical and mental performance.
- There are a number of factors that can affect how well you sleep, but there are also some things you can do to improve your sleeping environment. This can make it easier to get a good night's rest—and wake up feeling refreshed.
- If you've been struggling with insomnia or another sleep disorder for so long, it is crucial to see your physician and ask if they offer solutions that target the root cause of your problems, not just symptoms.
