Manage episode 366579448 series 2488468
60% of women report sleep disturbances in perimenopause and menopause and the impact of poor sleep is huge!
Think brain fog, weight gain, moodiness and long-term potential health issues.
This week I was honoured to be joined by Dr Valerie Cacho an integrative sleep medicine specialist (MD), wellness consultant and CEO of Sleephoria, an online educational and sleep wellness company for women.
We discussed everything you need to know about sleep through perimenopause and menopause.
- The common reasons we don't sleep like hot flashes, waking up to urinate, insomnia
- How ageing and menopause affect your sleep and metabolism
- Holistic ways to help you sleep better if you suffer from insomnia during perimenopause and menopause.
- We discussed the benefits of yoga, therapeutic massage, ear acupuncture, exercise
- Is snoring normal? And do women snore just as much as men?
- How much sleep should I be getting?
- The pros and cons of sleep medication
- What are the most popular sleep myths, and where is the truth?
You can find out more about Valerie through her website, Instagram and LinkedIn.
