Hey folks, Rob Wolf here, Greg Everett also theoretically is here, but we're having Skype connectivity issues.

We're going to try to power through, so I guess this just goes part and parcel with our

dodgy sound quality.

Greg, what's going on?

Oh man, I'm at this point I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping we can get this done.

Well maybe instead of tons of jiby jabber, maybe we'll just jump into it.

That's probably a good plan for more than one reason.

All right, question one, are you prepared?

I'm ready. All right, Doug says, hi, I have a question about

sleeping pills. My wife and I are 40 and 42 years old respectively. We have twins that are 2

and a half years old. When my wife gave birth to the twins, her doctor prescribed her

sleeping pills to help her deal with the sleep deprivation of being a mother of twins. Fast forward,

two years later, my wife is still taking the pills. I'm sure this is not good and is probably

messing up her body's chemical balances. Sometimes she forgets to pick up

her prescription, she then has a crappy night's sleep. How can I help her get

off of these pills? Going cold turkey seems like it would be too hardcore and I, we my kids and I,

would be dealing with a grumpy mama bear during this process.

This would be a huge first step as she is also on high blood pressure medicine. Her family has a history of diabetes and stroke. I've read your book and continually tell her we need to go 100% paleo, get more exercise, better sleep, etc. She's slowly coming around. She's dealt with weight issues most of her life.

She's lost a lot of weight in the last two years but needs to lose about 30 more pounds.

I'm thinking getting off the sleeping pills and getting better, a longer, more natural sleep would help tremendously.

Thanks for all you do, love the blog, the podcast, and all the quote-unquote extra commentary

between you and Greg.
