TMHS 841: Unlock Better Sleep: The Surprising Role of Gut Health & Toxins in Insomnia | Dr. Pedram Shojai

Dealing with suboptimal sleep can have damaging effects on your daily life, hormones, cognitive function, and so much more. In our culture, we often resort to things like sleeping pills or melatonin supplements just to get some rest. But taking the time to uncover the true root cause of insomnia or other sleep related problems can lead to not only a permanent resolution of the problem, but also a host of positive downstream effects. On this episode of The Model Health Show, I’m sitting down with New York Times bestselling author, producer, former monk, and physician Dr. Pedram Shojai. Dr. Shojai is sharing the fascinating connection between endotoxemia and sleep, why safety is a critical signal for healing, and so much more. We’re going to discuss how our modern world contributes to so much dysfunction, what it takes to facilitate healing, and how to create a safe home. Dr. Shojai has a ton of knowledge in the realm of functional medicine, gut health, and mindfulness; I know you’re going to love the insights he shared in our conversation. Enjoy! In this episode you’ll discover: The percentage of the population is struggling with insomnia and sleep disorders. What endotoxemia is, and its connection to sleep issues. Why the body must feel safe in order to heal. The role the microbiome plays in immune system dysfunction. How the gut lining can become compromised over time with small damages. What the internal and external triggers of safety can be. Why many people have more freedom with their diet and habits on vacation. The importance of building a safe sleep space. A powerful question you can ask to transform your health. How our devices have disconnected us from our bodies. The role clock genes play in regulating sleep. Why the liver plays an important role in detoxifying the body and brain. The truth about blue light. What the cancer of the home is. Chemicals to avoid in your mattress and bedding.
