What keeps you up at night?

Night sweats, an anxious mind, difficulty breathing, a burst of energy at 2 AM?

Dr. Caitlin O'Connor ND is back on the podcast to discuss why getting quality sleep in midlife can be challenging and what to do about it.

This is part 1 of a two-part conversation with Dr. Caitlin about health and vitality for women during perimenopause and menopause

In this episode, you'll learn how to sleep better in midlife. We're talking about...

• The neuroscience of sleep and how fluctuating estrogen levels affect your circadian rhythm
• Why poor quality sleep can contribute to midlife weight gain
• The importance of eating enough complex carbs, especially at dinner to improve sleep in midlife
• And Dr. Caitlin shares her advice on how to improve sleep in midlife through lifestyle and with supplements or botanical medicine

Stay tuned for part 2 of this conversation where we take a deep dive into botanical medicine to improve sleep, support perimenopause symptoms, and improve overall well-being in midlife.
