When stress, chronic pain or illness, a sleep disorder, or an imbalance in gut bacteria are present, a good night’s sleep can be difficult to achieve. Knowing that sleep is imperative for our emotional and physical wellbeing, it’s crucially important to uncover what can help those experiencing poor sleep. In this podcast, I speak with neurologist Dr. Stasha Gominak about her research about the connections between gut health, vitamin intake, and sleep. Listen in now.

0:45.8 | with Dr. Stachogomeneck. Regarding a interesting set of clinical observations and hypotheses, |
0:53.0 | she has summed up very broadly and roughly that |
0:57.7 | vitamin D and the cascade or array of B vitamins are crucial for sleep. She mentions this B-50 |
1:08.2 | and B-100 vitamin a few times. that's just a B complex where you have a |
1:13.3 | dose of 50 or 100 per vitamin in the formula. |

2:05.1 | from lifestyle and diet, the D and the B's, plus a healthy gut, seems to be how myself and we at |
2:12.2 | the clinic are seeing notable improvements in sleep. However, there is evidence showing things like vitamin D supplementation can also improve |
2:20.3 | sleep quality. |
2:23.4 | So it was an interesting conversation. |
2:25.5 | There was a few things I wanted to probe into or potentially push back that I did not |
2:30.4 | get the chance. |
