Improve Your Sleep By Making More Melatonin

Improve your sleep by making more melatonin: I often hear from clients - Can’t I just take my melatonin pill before I go to bed? The answer is….maybe. It can be beneficial in the short term while you sort things out. BUT, melatonin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar, energy production and is a master antioxidant. On top of sleep regulation. 

Take advantage of the 2 ways our body makes it for us:

🌙 5% is made at night in response to darkness. As soon as your eyes stop seeing blue light. That means your phone, tv and even your lightbulbs delay its release. 

💥 95% is made all day long by our mitochondria in response to near infrared light. This cellular melatonin clears up natural metabolic damage all day long to keep our cells healthy. 

Unfortunately - near infrared light is missing indoors, which is contributing to an epidemic of mitochondrial dysfunction and sleep issues.

Start sending your body the right signals.
