This is part 3 of the short series of podcasts with the wonderful Rachel Jessey from Benourished. Rachel has so much knowledge and experience which is why we have discussed several interrelated topics over the 3 podcasts.
In this episode we focus on disrupted sleep, the process of natural  melatonin and cortisol to support and regulate the sleep pattern and the wake pattern in correlation with the circadian rhythm. We talk about natural light vs artificial light to support people who are bed bound or light sensitive, meeting the person where they are with their chronic illness.
Rachel and I discuss the benefits of introducing light during sunrise to release the natural cortisol triggering the healthy cortisol awakening response.
Rachel explains how having mobile phones and wearing smart watches during the night causes sleep disruption, this is because they are all connected to the wifi and emit electromagnetic frequencies, these can destabilise electrons, she explains how if you have MCAS the electrons are already destabilised.
We discuss the importance of food for energy and the cortisol levels and avoid low blood sugar levels which takes the body into "fight or flight". Have a listen to the podcast to find out so much more.

Thank you so much for listening, as always take care #onedayatatime
