Stress is a sleep KILLER. And one of the top questions I get from my patients is how to help them alleviate stress and anxiety so they can sleep.
Stress increases your cortisol hormone levels and can disrupt sleep and your neurotransmitters. NATURAL, over-the-counter supplements have been shown to have a dramatic impact on reducing stress. I’m talking about supplements like magnesium, l-theanine, valerian, and even ashwagandha.
ALWAYS take supplements under the care of your doctor. But for more on why I LOVE these supplements for stress and anxiety, and why I think they can be helpful for you, check out my full video right here.
