You're listening to the Wellness Herway podcast. I'm your host, Gracie Noren, and I'm so

excited to provide you with the space where you get to shape what wellness feels like to you.

Wellness Her Way is where we make a home of our body, mind, and soul, instead of jumping on

trends for short-term results. We've got one body. We're going to nourish it, love it,, mind, and soul instead of jumping on trends for short-term results.

We've got one body. We're going to nourish it, love it, respect it, and embrace it through all its forms.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Wellness Her Way. Today we have sleep expert and friend

Todd Anderson with us. Thanks for having me back. Yes, he is back on

the show. He was on earlier. I want to say it was episode 36. So the people asked, they wanted to
