The Sleep Whisperer helps you end your confusion about sleep and provides the proper tools to positively impact your body and mind with better sleep. These tools will not only help you take charge of your sleep, they will help you take charge of your life.

Sleep is the missing piece in healthcare today. It has great potential to change the health journey. This show is about helping people understand sleep, the root causes of poor sleep and how poor sleep has different root causes for different people. The Sleep Whisperer also gives you a better understanding of nutrition and cooking for better sleep, explores sleep therapies and so much more.

Do you feel like you have so much to achieve in the world, but just don't have the energy that is required to do so? Are you someone who struggles with severe digestive challenges that drains you of whatever energy you do have? Do you suffer from anxiety that keeps you awake at night? The Sleep Whisperer can help.

If you're struggling with poor sleep or if you're a healthcare practitioner wanting to support your clients and patients with deeper information about sleep, you'll learn a system-based approach built with functional medicine and ancient wisdom.

We are moving towards challenging times financially, physiologically and emotionally. There are so many scary statistics out there about sleep and these trying times are going to impact sleep globally even more.

Did you know that from 1942 to 2013, the number of hours of average sleep went down by 13-15%? That one in three adults do not get adequate sleep? That over 100000 deaths are attributed to medical negligence caused by inadequate sleep? That 20% of all car crashes and accidents are attributed to poor sleep? That more than 70 million people suffer from some form of sleep disorder, and this number could be alarmingly more in areas that we do not know, and this number continues to rise in today's world? That 90% of those suffering from chronic sleep deprivation have a greater risk for chronic health challenges? That millions of people worldwide take prescription drugs to fall asleep and have the potential danger of getting addicted to them? That frequent use of sleep medication has been linked to greater mortality rates?

With so much changing, it's all the more important that we prioritize sleep. This podcast is a bridging of the East and West in every way. It brings together the cutting edge science of functional medicine from the West and ancient wisdom of the East. We also bring guests from the East and the West, in an attempt to connect globally in unison, during these trying times.

This show will bring you information across genres, coming together with the importance of sleep. As an example, you might learn something as required for your corporate life as managing time zones from a highly successful corporate head. You may also learn about the proper foods to eat to soothe a woman's hormones for better sleep.

The Sleep Whisperer will cover a variety of the struggles and solutions of poor sleep, such as:

You want to be more alert, focused, creative and initiative driven, but a sudden night of terrible sleep occurs just before a major presentation and destroys that focus.

You think you have tried every possible sleep gimmick out there but nothing works for you.

You have started to believe that poor sleep is a part of who you are and it will never ever change for the better.

You are constantly challenged by infections of every kind that spiral you into a loop of medication, digestive destruction and deep anxiety.

You want to be more happy in your life with your family, but the continuous lack of sleep is making you frequently weepy or angry.

You have an excessive appetite and eat a lot of the wrong kinds of food because your body is forever trying to compensate for the lack of energy from poor sleep.

You struggle with hormonal imbalance that makes you suffer from acne, mood swings and weight gain, because your body is just plain out of whack,

You are battling against numbing anxiety and even deeper depression because your brain feels tired,

You are a mom who just snaps at your child all day long, but know deep within yourself that it's just not right to do so,

You are struggling with symptoms of early menopause that is affecting your mood, libido and energy, yet physiologically you should not be in this phase for a few more years,

You are not enjoying the relationship with your partner, physically or emotionally, and this is hurting you deeply,

You feel constant fatigue but nothing seems to change that,

You want to live a great life and know that you have great potential, but you just cannot find a way for your body to support that,

You think that you are meant to suffer this way forever, because you just see no other way beyond this.
