Are you having trouble sleeping?

Screen Shot 2018-07-05 at 8.55.07 AM.png

Do you:

  • Have a hard time falling asleep?

  • Can fall asleep easily but then toss and turn all night?

  • Wake up multiple times throughout the night?

  • Sleep well but wake up too early and can't fall back asleep?

  • Think you sleep well, yet wake up tired?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be part of the 30-50% of the population that suffers from either acute or long term insomnia. Lack of sleep is an epidemic and root cause for many mental and physical health issues. While we sleep, our hormones recharge, including those that regulate your hunger (ghrelin and leptin) as well as blood sugar (insulin). This is a time when neurotransmitters are reset, which are pivotal in preventing depression and anxiety. Sleep is also involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. constantly working to prevent heart disease. 

What Causes Insomnia? 

Insomnia can be rooted in a host of different issues including:

  • Looking at blue light screens at night (smart phones, laptops, TVs etc) which can suppress the pineal gland, where melatonin is produced. Melatonin is a beneficial hormone that induces sleep and supports fat burn

  • Drinking too much caffeine

  • Drinking too much water after 7 pm (which leads to having to go to the bathroom multiple times through the night)

  • Not sleeping in a cool enough room

  • Stress and ruminating thoughts

  • Irregular sleep and wake routines

  • Health issues such as digestive imbalances or chronic pain

  • Sleep apnea or other breathing issues

  • Certain prescription medications or unsafe supplements that cause increased heart rate, frequent urination at night, etc.

What can you do to improve sleep?

Behavioral and dietary changes as well as taking certain supplements can be very helpful to rewire your system and promote resultful sleep again. These changes are paramount to healing if you are trying to overcome illness, especially auto-immune disease. 

  • Shut down electronics 1-2 hours before bed time

  • Stop drinking water by 7 pm

  • Keep a journal bedside to export thoughts and ease the mind

  • Create a consistant wake and bed time to form habit

  • Limit caffeine and do not drink after 12pm

  • Lower the bedroom temperature

  • Clean up the diet: limit sugar especially before bed. A very low carb and high fat diet like Ketosis also helps to improve sleep by rebalancing neurotransmitters

  • Eat foods that increase melatonin: tart cherries, turkey, chicken tuna, walnuts, broccoli etc.

  • Limit or remove alcohol which can disrupt REM cycles

  • Take quality supplements

What supplements are best? 

Below are my favorite sleep support formulas that have proven to help my clients sleep better:

*Note: If purchasing supplements, using a safe dispensary where all formulas are lab tested for quality is ideal.

1. Magnesium:  Taking a magnesium supplement, about 400 to 500 milligrams a night before bed, can help you naturally reduce stress and really improve sleep. I recommend magnesium bis-glycinate in order to help relax muscles without causing loose stools.  

Top product recommendations: Calm, Cenitol, NeuroMag, Mag Gly

2. Herbal Support: Adaptogens and Nervines are herbs found in nature that help support the HPA axis (stress axis). They can work to calm us down when we are dealing with stress and/or lack of sleep.  My favorite sleep related herbs include: skullcap, lemon balm, hops, valerian root, and chamomile, to name a few. I typically suggest using these in compounded formulas to retrain the body to sleep. 

Top product recommendations: Benesom, Sleep Factors, Sleep Aide, Stress-Relax Tranquil Sleep, sleep and relax tea

3. Probiotics: Endless amounts of research is being published in support of a healthy microbiome. Since serotonin (a neurotransmitter and precursor to melatonin) is made along the gut from bacteria, we need a plethora of healthy probiotics in order to support deep sleep.  

Top product recommendations: Ther-Biotic Complete,  UltraFlora Balance , liquid probiotic

4. Vitamin B12 (1500 mcg daily) — Vitamin B12 supports cellular function and a deficiency can cause problems with circadian rhythms.

Top product recommendations: B12 with L-5-MTHF, B12 Lozenges , liquid B12

Supplements during Pregnancy--are they safe?

heart pregnant belly.jpg

Are Supplements safe during pregnancy and if so, which ones should you take?

Pregnancy is a critical time for optimizing health and nutrition, both for the mother and her baby. Overall nutritional and caloric needs are greatly increased by pregnancy and breastfeeding. I believe that a pregnancy should be supported first and foremost with a healthy low-stress lifestyle and sound nutrition! With that being said, I also believe that quality supplements can help fill in the gaps of an imperfect diet to support the healthiest pregnancy possible. But please note: You should not take any nutritional supplements or herbal supplements during pregnancy unless directed to do so by your healthcare practitioner.

Before deciding what to supplement with during pregnancy, there are two important factors to know:

1. Other than prenatal vitamins, the majority of supplements will say "not safe for women who are pregnant or nursing" simply due to the fact that we just can’t test them on pregnant women. It is not ethical nor is it safe to to do so there is a narrow range of research on the topic and you want to be very selective about what you take.

2. The quality of supplements available on store shelves can vary widely since they are not regulated by the FDA. Over the past few years there has been a drastic increase in counterfeit supplements on online retailers like Amazon. Temperature controls and expirations dates are often not adhered to, leaving products rancid. It is important to avoid taking potentially harmful vitamins and only use products with reputable manufacturers, who are third part assessed for potency and quality. Visit my online dispensary for the highest quality and most safe medical grade supplements. 

With that being said, what is ok to take?

Top nutritional supplements to consider during pregnancy:

1. Organ Supplements

Every pregnant woman should be getting the benefits of nutrient dense foods like organ meats. During the first trimester because of nausea and food aversions, women are not always able to consume the desired number of calories or variety of nutrients.  In addition, several nutrients in a good well sourced organ complex have been found to benefit pregnant women who suffer from "morning sickness," including vitamin B6 and vitamin K.

The most important nutrient in an organ complex is folic acid or folate, which reduces the risk of having a child with a birth defect of the brain or spinal cord. 

I recommend organ supplements starting the year before becoming pregnant, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding. This can help produce a healthy baby and benefit the mother through labor, delivery, breastfeeding, and postpartum. Be sure to look for a brand that only uses organic and gras-fed organs and is manufactured without additives and coatings which are commonly found in mainstream prenatal tablets.

2. Probiotic

Endless amounts of research is being published in support of a healthy microbiome. Since mom's bacteria will be passed directly onto the newborn fetus, inoculating the baby during the passage through the birth canal, maintaining healthy flora is of utmost importance. Healthy bacteria will provide the building blocks of the baby's immune system, support healthy digestion (avoid colic!), and prevent cradle cap and other skin issues to name just a few benefits. It is also highly beneficial to take probiotics in order to avoid a positive Group B Strep test which will require IV antibiotics during labor. 

3. Cod Liver Oil

Essential Fatty acids in the form of a high quality cod liver oil are paramount for the development of baby's brain and nervous system. EPA + DHA are two of these EFAs that support proper brain development as well as healthy behavior and mood. Low levels of DHA and EPA have been linked to depression and other mental health issues. If you are vegan, you can supplement with algae based omegas as well. 

4. Calcium

Most prenatal vitamins do not have much calcium. Calcium is an important mineral to support bone and teeth development. If the baby does not get enough Calcium, it will pull stores from mom which can lead to intense leg cramps and even bone loss. Calcium would be recommended especially for those with osteopenia, osteoporosis, or scoliosis going into pregnancy. Be sure to look for the MCHC form of Calcium, as it is most absorbable. 

5. Magnesium

Some of the most common symptoms during pregnancy can be addressed with magnesium: Constipation, which can be very uncomfortable and even lead to incontinence due to the added pressure on the bladder, can be improved with magnesium supplementation. Insomnia, muscle aches, and leg cramps can also be addressed by taking magnesium. Look for the bis-glycinate form of magnesium in order to address symptoms and avoid getting loose stools. Magnesium citrate can be used if addressing constipation but this form can cause some osmotic flushing of the bowel, so be sure to start with a lower dosage. 

6. Digestive + Systemic Enzymes

Digestive health is often compromised during pregnancy. Many women experience reflux/GERD, constipation, feeling overly full, and even gallbladder pain from the increased production of estrogen. Digestive support in the form of enzymes during pregnancy can drastically improve digestion and even allow for greater absorption of nutrients for the development of a healthy baby! 

In addition, proteolytic or systemic enzymes can improve blood flow and support healthy tissue development. They have been shown to be helpful throughout pregnancy to help prevent recurrent miscarriage due to immunological imbalances.

6. Collagen Protein Powder

Collagen is the protein building block of all your connective tissues, including your bones, muscles, skin, hair, nails and tendons.  In fact, about 30% of the protein in our bodies is made of collagen.  Collagen production declines with age, making it ever more important to supplement as we age. 

When you are pregnant your abdomen and many other parts of your body are going to stretch substantially. Taking collagen can support your skin's elasticity and help to avoid stretch marks as well as support joints that have to adjust to carrying more weight. Collagen can also  help your body and skin to recover postpartum and support the development of a healthy and strong amniotic sac!

In addition, collagen can also support a healthy gut, improved digestion, detox pathways.

Carbohydrate Needs During Pregnancy + 5 Tips to Balance Blood Sugar

pregnant belly.jpg

Although I do not claim to be an expert in this topic, I can certainly speak with confidence from my own research and experience what I have found to be true regarding carb intake during pregnancy. 

First of all, I think women are often very mislead with the guidelines that have been published regarding ideal carbohydrate intake during pregnancy. Currently, it is recommended pregnant women get 50-60% of their calories from carbohydrates. For an 1800 calorie diet, that is 225-270 g per day or 6 servings PER MEAL! Recommendations for woman diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, meaning she is having a hard time controlling her blood sugar without the assistance of exogenous insulin, is recommended to consume about 180 g of carbohydrate which is or 4 servings per meal.  This may look like 1 apple, 1 piece of bread, 1/2 potato, and 1/2 cup of beans.....all in a single meal, before protein, fat, and vegetables are added.  Both of these recommendations are alarmingly high, especially for someone like me who pre-pregnancy was eating a low-carbohydrate diet.

So then if not 60 g per meal, what IS the right amount of carbohydrate for a pregnant woman? The answer unfortunately is not entirely straight forward. First of all, like with all nutritional recommendations, its going to be different for every single person. Everyone has a different tolerance to how much carbohydrate they can consume. The other factor which is not well know is that insulin levels naturally vary from trimester to trimester. In the first trimester, insulin production goes up exponentially in most women, allowing for an easier time processing through higher amounts of carbohydrate than normal. I find this fascinating considering this is the time most women are most often nauseous and have a hard time eating anything other than bread and potato chips, (I know I did), and the body knows to compensate! The first trimester is also the time of highest cell replication, turning the zygote into an embryo, which requires very high levels of glucose and therefore more carbohydrates in the diet. 

What is also not well known, is that in the third trimester, many women become insulin resistant as the production of insulin plummets, leading to 20% of women getting Gestational Diabetes (GD).  This is also about the time during the pregnancy that the Glucose Tolerance Test (GGT) is often administered. The GGT is the diagnostic test to determine whether a momma has GD or not.  A staggering number of women fail the first hour long GGT, which is not surprising considering they are drinking 50 g of straight sugar (along with food dyes and other scary ingredients) at a time when their insulin is lowest!

The most important thing to take away from all of this information about insulin fluctuations and carbohydrate needs, is that intuitive eating is crucial during pregnancy and that you must listen to your body and give it what it needs. An integrative dietitian can help you navigate the waters so you can be confident in your diet that will ultimately help grow your sweet baby!

I can say that from my experience keeping carbs low (about 60-75 grams/day) later in the pregnancy has been advantageous. As someone who pre-pregnancy was eating a Ketogenic diet, I had trained my body to use much less insulin. This lead to an even higher sensativity to carbohydrates in my third trimester as seen by slightly elevated fasting blood glucose levels. Increasing workouts (to burn excess blood sugar) and bringing my carbs a bit lower has made me more energetic and lead to fasting blood sugars in the 70s and 80s. 

Please be sure to consult with a dietitian or physician before making any drastic changes to your diet! This information is meant to inform, not to treat or act as medical advice. 

Top 5 Tips to Balance Blood Sugar, Naturally! 

  • Always eat carbohydrate foods paired with a fat and or protein

  • Focus on carbs from whole food sources, ditch the processed foods and added sugars

  • Eat small meals every 3-4 hours to prevent the liver from dumping additional sugar into the blood stream 

  • Get moving! Walking after meals and resistance training will lower fasting blood sugars

  • Get more sleep! Lack of sleep can lead to higher blood sugar, more stress, and more cortisol which are not good for the babe!
