Conversation with the Sleep Whisperer | Deepa Kannan and Dr. Achina Stein, DO

Who couldn’t learn more about what affects sleep and how to improve it? I found someone who could give us another angle to approach sleep improvement other than just practicing “good sleep hygiene”; someone who could speak about factors that are rarely discussed anywhere else. That someone is Deepa Kannan.

Deepa is an Allied Functional Medicine Practitioner, Author, and Yogini in her practice, Phytothrive in Bangalore, India. Recognized by Mark Hyman, MD, she combines therapeutic & transformational yoga with nutrition based on the principles of functional medicine. She merges the science of the functional world with the deep symbolism of the ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic medicine. The rare genetic disorder known as salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia of her son gave her insight into the workings of the adrenals and the stress response as it relates to all health and sleep. Her book, titled undecided, will be released by HarperCollins in April 2023.

Here is the link: A Conversation with the Sleep Whisperer

We discussed:

  • Interweaving functional medicine and Ayurveda
  • Specific foods to eat depending on whether you are Vata, Pita, or Kapha types
  • A simple routine with oil bathing and which type to use
  • The bi-directional bio-individuality of sleep
  • When the best time of day is to take Vitamin D if you are supplementing

She shares a free guided meditation for you to try: https://link.chtbl.com/lovesleep
