How Gut Health Impacts Sleep | This episode is brought to you by Perfect Keto

Getting quality sleep is one of the most important things we can do for our overall health and well-being. We know that things like getting outside first thing in the morning, going to sleep and waking at the same time each day, and putting away our devices one or two hours before bed can help ensure quality sleep. But did you know that the health of your gut microbiome also plays an important role in sleep quality?

In this minisode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Shawn Stevenson about how the microbiome can affect sleep, and he also speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Boham about the Functional Medicine approach to optimizing gut health.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy.
0:02.4	Now we know that certain bacteria in the gut communicate with cells that produce these
0:08.0	sleep-related hormones in neurotransmitters. So your gut cascade, your microbiome, has a huge
0:14.3	impact on your sleep quality. And so now the question is what do we do about it?
0:20.9	Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark. You know I'm all about the benefits of healthy fats and I've had
0:24.8	some patients find that a high-fat keto diet is the best way to support better cognition,
0:29.2	lose some stubborn belly fat and even reverse certain signs of aging. But I often hear them say
0:34.1	that it can be really hard to stick to, especially if they have busy lives and they need food they
0:38.0	can grab on the go. So when I found perfect keto I was really excited. One of my favorite items from
0:43.2	perfect keto is their nut butters. They're made with MCT oil, macadamia nuts, cashews and coconut
0:48.2	on there. Plenty of healthy fats in there to keep you fuller longer. Plus they have amazing flavors
0:53.2	like chocolate hazelnut, almond butter and jelly, snickerdoodle and macadamia vanilla, all formulated to
0:58.4	taste great while keeping you in ketosis. My favorite is the chocolate hazelnut. I love that it
1:03.8	comes in an easy, resealable squeeze pack that's really handy for traveling. Their keto cookies are
1:09.2	also a really tasty way to enjoy an occasional healthy treat. They went through more than 10 recipes
1:14.7	combined with rigorous blood and ketone testing to make sure their cookies didn't spike blood sugar.
1:20.8	Since turning my patients and friends on a perfect keto I've had multiple people tell me they
1:24.8	find it much easier to stick with their diet. I'm all about finding what diet works best for your
1:30.0	unique body but whatever it is it's important to be prepared with different options so you don't
1:34.1	get stuck in a food emergency. If you're trying keto be sure to check out perfect keto snacks and
