Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
It’s an all too common complaint - exhausted but can’t fall asleep; wake up at 2–3 a.m. with a racing mind; following “perfect sleep hygiene” and still feel tired…
You’re not broken - and it’s not just insomnia. Sleep is a symptom - not the problem!
Sleep problems are often a signal from your body, pointing to deeper imbalances that conventional approaches frequently overlook.
Join Dr Elisabeth Philipps this in-depth Functional Medicine webinar to learn how sleep is connected to hormones, blood sugar, gut health, stress physiology, inflammation, and nutrient status and what you can do to restore balance naturally.
Traditional approaches often treat sleep as an isolated issue. Functional medicine recognises that sleep is influenced by nearly every system in the body. In this webinar, we’ll explore how:
- Cortisol and melatonin rhythms affect sleep onset and maintenance
- Blood sugar instability can cause nighttime awakenings
- Gut health and inflammation disrupt sleep quality
- Nutrient deficiencies impair neurotransmitter production
- Hormones, cycles and sleep
- Chronic stress keeps the nervous system stuck in “alert mode”
Instead of masking symptoms, functional medicine asks: Why is your body struggling to rest? In this webinar, you’ll discover:
- Common root causes of poor sleep that are often missed
- Why “tired but wired” is a stress and hormone issue
- The role of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and timing
- How gut health and inflammation impact sleep cycles
- Functional lab markers that influence sleep quality
- Practical nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset strategies to support deep, restorative sleep
