Description

Struggling to fall asleep? Waking up wired at 3 a.m.? You're not alone — and you're not broken.

In this episode of The GoodLife in Health and Wellness, Dr. Kate Duncan dives into the science and root causes of insomnia — and more importantly, what you can do about it. From the hidden impact of cortisol and HPA axis dysfunction to the gut-brain connection and blood sugar crashes, you'll learn why your body might be stuck in the "insomnia loop" — and how to break free.

We cover:

  • What insomnia really is (and what it's not)

  • Why sleep struggles aren't just "in your head"

  • How to retrain your brain and body using CBT-I strategies

  • Nervous system regulation tools to calm cortisol

  • Nutrition and lifestyle changes that support better sleep

  • The role of supplements, red light therapy, and weighted blankets

Whether you're tired of tossing and turning or looking for holistic sleep support without relying on meds, this episode offers real, evidence-backed solutions.

🎧 Tune in now and start reclaiming your nights — one deep breath at a time.
