201: Sleep Tips That Really Work | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Mealtimes and More

Hello friends!

I have a new podcast episode live, and today I’m talking about one of my favorite topics for a long time: sleep!

This is one episode where I take you straight to the checklist I use with my clients when we are solving a sleep problem. Because here’s the thing: when we fix sleep, a lot of other things start to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, emotions, energy, body composition; it all has to do with how you rest at night.

Whether you’re a new mom running around on fumes, someone who wakes up at 1 a.m. and can’t sleep, or someone who can’t really feel rested, this episode is for you.

201: Sleep Tips That Really Work | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Mealtimes and More

Here’s what we’re talking about:

• The power of the morning sun and why it comes out first is a game changer
• Why so many people are taking the wrong type of magnesium – and what to look for instead
• How castor oil packs support your liver, calm your nervous system, and help shift your body into rest and digest mode.
• A good meal time that makes a noticeable difference in the quality of sleep
• Why alcohol before bed hurts your deep sleep (and what to have instead)
• The connection between the blood sugar dip and that dreaded 1–3am waking window
• How to manage stress and screen time before bed so your nervous system can wind down
• My honest take on unplugging the Wi-Fi router at night and keeping your phone off your body
• My current favorite sleep supplements – including one that gives me that warm, relaxed feeling without the hangover

Many more!

This episode is a friendly reminder that good sleep doesn’t just happen at night – it’s built throughout your day.

If you’ve been struggling to get consistent, restful sleep, I hope this gives you a solid starting point. And if you want to go deeper, I’d like to help you do some practical lab work to see what’s going on hormonally or physiologically. Email me at gina@fitnessista.com with “sleep” in the subject and I will send you all the details; no training fee to review your results, just answers!

I love curling up with a warm cup of Organifi Gold before bed, and I always pair my nighttime routine with my favorite Magnesium supplement and Magnesium spray for extra relaxation. I also swear by my Weighted blanket AND you can find all my sleeping gear and more on my Favorite biohacking products page!

Sweet dreams, friends.
