Sleep Apnea & Sleep Disorders: The Surprising Nutritional Answer (part 1) with Dr Stasha Gominak | EP 301
Description
Do you have sleep apnea or any sleep issue whatsoever? Yes? Then this episode is for you. Finally a biological, nutritional therapy answer to sleep that isn’t about stressing less and doing meditation (both useful by the way). This is a radically different approach to fixing sleep problems, to the point that these ideas are, firstly, a new problem to the western world that we’ve likely never dealt with on mass before, and, secondly, nutritional strategies being pushed by a medical doctor despite her drug prescribing education. You just have to listen to this and part 2 is on episode 303 - check that out straight after this one.
On this episode we discussed:
- How a medical doctor published new medical hypotheses with nutrition as the answer
- How humans have changed their relationship with the sun
- A lack of migration causes vitamin D deficiency
- Vitamin D receptors downregulate in the absence of light
- Why old people either stay awake all night or fall asleep when you’re talking to them
- Why our skin gets lighter the more we’re indoors
- Why vitamin D is NOT a vitamin (and why modern medicine has neglected it)
- Whether or not supplements are enough, or, do you need the real sun
- How vitamin D receptors in the brain stem help regulate sleep
- How to fix Sleep Apnea, without CPAP
- Why you should be outdoors as much as possible
- The relationship between vitamin D and all sleep issues
