The Joy of Sleep: A Tale of Two Grandmas and a Papa

I can’t remember when my mom started having sleep problems but it had been decades.  In recent years she would complain about all kinds of problems including trigeminal neuralgia, leg cramps, and neuropathy in the feet.  These issues caused her difficulty at night and interfered with her sleep.  

Last May my mom and dad celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. I gave them one of my favorite natural sleeping aids.  The following day they both reported good restful sleep.  My mom eventually noticed that she wasn’t suffering from leg cramps anymore.  

In June I gave them another natural sleeping aid.  In two weeks time I got a call from my mom.  She detailed all the positive changes.  She said both her and my dad’s energy levels and stamina increased.  They both felt a lot better and their sleep improved.  My mom said that she even started having vivid dreams.  

When people can remember their dreams that means that they are getting really good deep sleep.  When that happens the body can do what it’s supposed to do.  It starts to heal.

Since using the natural sleep solutions my mom hasn’t been suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, leg cramps, and neuropathy in the feet.  Both she and my dad no longer complain about aches, pains or lack of sleep. What else is possible?

Last November my family and I visited my mother in law in the Philippines.  We love to bring gifts when we visit her so we decided to bring the same natural sleep aids that helped my mom and dad with sleep.

The amazing thing was that the sleep aids worked immediately!  The next morning my mother in law told me that she wasn’t bothered by leg cramps and that she was able to sleep well.  

I thought to monitor her sleep since we were staying for two weeks.  Each day she revealed that there were no leg cramps and that she could sleep well.  Even if she had to wake up in the middle of the night she was able to go back to sleep fairly quickly and sleep soundly.  Before it would take her a while to go back to sleep. How does it get any better than that?

The special promo price for The Joy of Sleep is coming to a close.  After Sunday the price will jump to $99. What are the possibilities to finally experience the deep sound sleep you and your loved ones have been waiting for?  

Being able to help our parents feel more comfortable with more ease in their elder years is truly a blessing.  Thanks be to God for natural effective and simple sleep solutions.

The Joy of Sleep: Let's Talk About Snoring

A few years ago my son and I were video chatting with my dad. After several minutes we saw my dad fall asleep sitting up.  And then he started to snore.  

My husband also used to snore.  That meant that I too had trouble sleeping because the snoring would bother me.  

The fact of the matter is when someone in the family snores sleep quality gets disturbed all around. Everyone’s sleep gets affected.

Snoring is the body’s way of saying that the body is not happy and it is not being honored.  It means that the body is struggling to get good quality restful sleep.  But most people just ignore the issue and don’t think anything of it.

Recent studies show that poor sleep is linked to the following:

~ Memory issues

~ Weight gain

~ Mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder

~ Weakened immunity

~ Higher chances of cancer, diabetes and heart disease

~ Being accident-prone

~ Stress in relationships

~ Shortened life expectancies

After I started health coaching my dad and husband everyone’s sleep started to improve and my dad and husband stopped snoring.  

Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!  

What changed?  They started following my recommendations and more importantly they started honoring their bodies.

What would it take for us to just start honoring our beautiful bodies every single day?  

What changes and possibilities can take place?

A friend and client messaged me a couple of days ago.  He’s been using three of my five favorite sleep solutions.  He said, “I’ll continue with the recommendations. It is helping me a lot!  I observed my sleep is more deep.”  And this is the result of following my protocol the last couple of weeks.

Getting messages like this make my day!  And I just feel like singing, “Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!”

The Joy of Sleep is now available at a special promo price in celebration of the new year.  It may not cost a lot but from my interesting point of view the program is priceless.  Getting good restful sleep is the foundation of good health.  

How does it get any better than that?

The Joy of Sleep: Sleepless Nights with a Newborn

From day one my son would cry all the time.  I’m telling you; he was born with a full set of healthy pipes.  

I remember at the hospital the nurses would come often to check on him because they could hear him from down the hall.  They quickly realized that he was a naturally loud crying baby.  

Even today if you ever get to sit near us at church his singing voice is pretty powerful.   

As a new mom I hardly slept.  At tops I was lucky to get two or three hours of sleep. My baby loved being in my arms.  If I put him down to sleep he would cry.  So I ended up holding him all night long sleeping sitting up on the sectional.  

If only I had the knowledge that I have now about sleep and how to get really good deep sleep.  

Because back then I got cranky and irritable many times.  There were times when I myself cried because my baby was a constant crier and nothing that I did could appease or soothe him.  I believe my husband joined us as well for those crying episodes!

So picture this.  Mom, dad, and baby boy all crying at the same time.

Yes, that was our reality seven years ago.

The awesome thing is through my experience with nutrition school, health coaching, traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine and other holistic modalities I’ve created a new online course all about how to get deep and restful sleep.  

Do you know what else is wonderful?  My husband, son and I get really good restful sleep nowadays.  Things can change for the better if you have the knowledge that keeps you in good health and wellness.

If you or anyone in your family is dealing with sleepless nights, restlessness, or even a dependency on sleeping aids this course is for you.

Now picture this. 

You aren’t feeling anxious at night anymore.

You aren't staring at the ceiling for hours waiting to fall asleep.

You don’t need the sleeping pills, CPAP machines, sleep tests, etc. ever again.

You and the children can finally sleep soundly.

And no one is gritting or grinding their teeth.

The Joy of Sleep includes my best tips and solutions to finally get the sleep that you and your loved ones deserve.  Every recommendation in the course is effective, practical, simple, safe and natural.  It’s a culmination of all that I’ve learned since becoming a certified integrative nutrition health coach.  How does it get any better than that?  

The Joy of Sleep launches on Monday, January 27.  The doors on the promo price will close this Sunday, January 26.  

Is your body asking for more ease and joy this year? If so, get in early here.

For Better Sleep

If you want better sleep, read on…

This morning I went to barre class at the local Y. At my friend’s suggestion we went over to the sauna. As we walked in I heard a voice say, “Hi friend! I followed your advice! I quit coffee and I feel so much better!” I turned and said to the gentleman, “That’s great. Congratulations! How so?” He said, “I sleep so much better! My wife just looks at me. She won’t quit but I feel great!”

Small steps count a lot and encourage people to keep working on getting healthy. Depending on a person’s situation I start health coaching with food. I start people off with something so basic like drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning. This simple step has motivated people to do things they never used to do like exercising.

For someone who’s been hooked on coffee for decades I recommend drinking clean spring water or filtered water (I love our Berkey) in the morning, even just a cup. If you can drink two cups that’s even better. The goal is to replace the coffee with clean water. Eventually you will kick the habit. And like the gentleman I saw at the Y this morning you will start to sleep better and to feel great.

YES to changing the world for the better one person at a time, one step at a time!
