Sleep as Medicine: Healing Hormones Through Better Rest
What if sleep was the most powerful hormone-balancing tool you had—and you didn’t need another supplement to access it?
In this episode, Gina and Kristin unpack why sleep isn’t optional when it comes to hormone health—it’s foundational medicine. If you’re eating well, exercising, and “doing all the right things” but still struggling with fatigue, stubborn weight, cravings, PMS, or cycle issues, this conversation is for you.
We break down the science behind the hormone–sleep connection in a way that actually makes sense, including how poor sleep impacts cortisol, insulin, melatonin, and your hunger hormones. You’ll also hear common client patterns we see when sleep is off—like waking between 2–4 a.m., feeling wired but tired, or plateauing despite your best efforts.
Most importantly, we reframe sleep as an intentional healing tool, not just more hours in bed. You’ll learn why quality matters more than quantity, how circadian rhythm drives hormone balance, and why better sleep starts first thing in the morning—not at bedtime.
We wrap with practical, hormone-supportive sleep tips you can start using tonight, plus a simple reflection to help you take action without overwhelm.
✨ In this episode, we cover:
- Why sleep is active hormone therapy
- How poor sleep disrupts cortisol, insulin, and appetite regulation
- Signs your hormones are being impacted by sleep (even if you get 8 hours)
- The role of circadian rhythm in cycle health, thyroid function, and fertility
- Simple shifts that can create big hormonal changes
