This episode is about the Serenity Sleep System, including an oil, a stick with Valerian Root, and a softgel with Tart Cherry. We now have a year of experience using this and wanted to share the latest news about this system. The system includes all three ways to use, as well as a best time to use: Topical use with Serenity Stick- to relax Internal use with Softgel- to go to sleep Aromatic use with Oil diffused- to stay asleep Holistic health coach Laura Jacobs said "sleep is 'overnight therapy'." After all, sleep is when the body gets to repair itself, restore energy, consolidate memories, regulate hormones, and maintain proper brain function. Speaking of, did you know that doTERRA has a new study out, which found that using the Serenity Sleep System takes 7 years off brain age markers! The vegan-friendly tapioca softgels are free from carrageenan, with a naturally occurring source of melatonin- tart cherry extract.

In today's episode, I addressed a common question about managing menopause symptoms, particularly sleep issues, without using hormones. This is especially relevant for women with a history of breast cancer where hormone treatments are not advisable. Key Points Discussed: Lifestyle and Behavioral Strategies Sleep Hygiene: Maintain a consistent sleep schedule to align with your circadian rhythm. Develop a relaxing bedtime routine to increase melatonin production and reduce cortisol levels. Optimize your sleep environment to be cool, dark, and quiet. Diet and Hydration: Follow a whole food plant-based diet to reduce inflammation and improve overall health. Limit caffeine and alcohol intake as they can disrupt sleep. Stay hydrated but reduce fluid intake before bed to avoid nighttime awakenings. Physical Activity: Regular exercise can improve mood and regulate circadian rhythms. Avoid intense exercise close to bedtime; opt for relaxing activities like evening walks. Non-Hormonal Treatments Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): Helps change negative thoughts and behaviors related to sleep. Promotes good sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques. Medications: Melatonin: Useful in small doses to help fall asleep. Gabapentin: Reduces nerve pain and hot flashes. Trazodone: Increases serotonin to help regulate mood and sleep. Other Medications: Clonidine and SSRIs for short-term use to manage hot flashes and sleep issues. Herbal and Dietary Supplements Phytoestrogens: Found in soy products, flaxseed, and red clover, these can provide mild estrogenic effects without the risks of hormone therapy. Black Cohosh, Valerian Root, and Magnesium: These supplements can help alleviate menopausal symptoms and improve sleep quality. Stress Management Emphasized the importance of mindfulness and meditation to manage stress, which can significantly impact sleep quality. I hope you found these insights helpful. Remember, everyone's experience with menopause is unique, so it's important to find what works best for you. Thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you next time!

Valerian is an “old school” herb that has many wonderful benefits in our practice – you just need to get past the smelly part with the root. I am adding this herb to my garden this year and I am really excited to work with it in the fall. Join me today with another episode in our Herbal Magic series. Valerian has long historical use in help with sleeping disorders and insomnia. It has a calming effect on our nervous system and can be used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and stress. It also helps us to relax our muscles and lower blood pressure. On the witchy side of things … we can use it in our practice for relaxation and calming spells, for dream work and divination, in dream pillows and sachets, for protection and purification, enhancing our psychic abilities, in love magic, herbal magic, anointing oils and on and on!

You're getting very sleepy! Just kidding...but this podcast episode is all about things that make you want to take a nap (or, as these witches prefer to call it, a little death...you know...as a treat). Shannon covers a well-known herb, Valerian Root, and tells you how to use it as a sleep aid. She ALSO fills you all in on some other uses of Valerian that are not related to sleep....what a twist! Nick talks about things that go HUMP in the night (see what we did there) - Succubi and Incubi. He also gives you the low-down on Hypnos...one of the deities even ole Zeus-y boy was afraid of.

Depression affects 300 million people worldwide, and I am one of them. The good news is, depression is entirely treatable and almost always, preventable. If you have mild depression and anxiety and want to explore some options outside of prescription medication, I'm giving you the exact things I do on a daily basis that keep depression and anxiety at bay. This is part of my Summer Series Replay and originally aired September 2019 as part of a 6-part series on depression and anxiety. (EP15-EP20) EP 16: This is where I tell my story of depression Depression DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria The DSM-5 outlines the following criterion to make a diagnosis of depression. The individual must be experiencing five or more symptoms during the same 2-week period and at least one of the symptoms should be either (1) depressed mood or (2) loss of interest or pleasure. 1. Depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day. 2. Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day, nearly every day. 3. Significant weight loss when not dieting or weight gain, or decrease or increase in appetite nearly every day. 4. A slowing down of thought and a reduction of physical movement (observable by others, not merely subjective feelings of restlessness or being slowed down). 5. Fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day. 6. Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt nearly every day. 7. Diminished ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness, nearly every day. 8.

www.EvaWorldwide.com Whole Plant Hemp Phytocannabinoid Therapy https://www.learntruehealth.com/phytocannabinoid Phytocannabinoid therapy can be significantly helpful if you’re looking into alternative ways of healing. I’m sure most of you have heard the benefits of hemp to address health issues. But surprisingly, whole plant hemp phytocannabinoid therapy can also heal pets. My guest Nicole Davidsohn has an exciting story to tell regarding phytocannabinoid therapy as well as educate us on the other healing benefits of this wonderful hemp herb. Series Of Accidents The Eva company story began in spring 2014 with a series of accidents. Eva founder Dane Kemp was in a near-death experience because of a car accident but still came to work. He did, however, suffer from post-concussion syndrome. His partner and co-founder Nicole Davidsohn, on the other hand, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Doctors initially thought it was a stomach flu. Even with a flu protocol it never stopped. Nicole Davidsohn was misdiagnosed. It was only after a colonoscopy that she discovered she had ulcerative colitis. “The biggest thing I noticed with ulcerative colitis was fatigue. The way that it hurt my life was that I just wanted to sleep all day and I had no appetite,” shares Nicole Davidsohn. Before Nicole Davidsohn was diagnosed, she was a raw vegan. After her diagnosis, Nicole Davidsohn was prohibited by her doctor to eat raw foods and vegetables. So, she ate boiled chicken and sweet potatoes to get back on track. A few months later, Nicole Davidsohn fell on a flight of stairs. She ended up with misplaced ribs and extreme pain throughout her nervous system. Nicole Davidsohn still did a high-intensity workout class but felt worse after. Hence, she was rushed to the E.R., stopped going to work and eventually went into depression spiraled by her injuries. Health Struggle Weeks went by, and Nicole Davidsohn tried the medication the doctors gave her. The medicines were really strong which made Nicole Davidsohn sick. She slept a lot, avoided the sun and noise. Dane Kemp convinced her to move into their home in Baltimore so his mom could help take care of her, but Nicole Davidsohn’s condition didn’t improve. One night, Dane Kemp suggested to Nicole Davidsohn that they go to Oaksterdam University in California. He initially wanted to take their cannabis seminar on the history of growing. It was timely because, in 2015, the industry was beginning to open up. Availability Nicole Davidsohn says cannabis helped Dane Kemp in the past with attention issues. But on the East Coast, it’s not easy to get. Even if Nicole Davidsohn had a medical card for her ulcerative colitis, it limited her to two grams per day of the only strain they had which was blue dream. Blue Dream is a strain to get you thinking, be creative and invigorate your mind. “You can’t just smoke any cannabis and get relief from it because you have to have the correct ratio of cannabinoids and terpenes to help you with your specific ailment. In D.C., the dispensary you go to is dependent on your address,” Nicole Davidsohn said. Seeing An Opportunity Because of this, Dane Kemp saw an opportunity and also saw a way to help people. Taking a seminar at Oaksterdam University, the couple learned so much about cannabis, cannabinoids, growing it, its history, starting a business, and learning about the industry. Nicole Davidsohn also called up an old friend in California who gave her a bag of medical cannabis goodies like edibles, vapes, and joints including a type of caramel popcorn which contained THC. It was the first time she used cannabis as real medicine. Nicole Davidsohn ate the popcorn at night and slept well. It did have Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC in it, but she wasn’t high when she went to class. Instead, she just used it after class. The THC popcorn ultimately made Nicole Davidsohn feel better. Going back home to the East Coast, the couple did some preparations to move back to the West Coast to start a new life and begin healing holistically. Cannabis Juice When Nicole Davidsohn was in California, she had been studying the work of Dr. William Courtney who was famous for cannabis juice. She eventually wanted to grow her own vegan cannabis plant and juice it. “So, I bought an aero garden, planted some seeds and started growing cannabis like a normal herb on the counter. When it was big enough, I stuck it in my juicer with some turmeric and ginger. It tasted great,” said Nicole Davidsohn. Cannabis has acidic cannabinoids in its raw form. THC is THC-A, so it has a carbon molecule on it. Nicole Davidsohn says that for it to become psychoactive, or to make you feel high, you need to heat it to 220 degrees Fahrenheit for a certain amount of time. “When you juice it, just like you would go outside and take a fresh apple off a tree, chop it up and put in your juicer. I would take the bud off the plant and put in the juicer,” Nicole Davidsohn said. “It extracts all the cannabinoids, terpenes and chlorophyll which is super healthy for you. You won’t get stoned.” Effects of Juicing First thing Nicole Davidsohn felt was that her eyes widened, and her brain cleared up. It gave her four to six hours of energy. One reason is that raw cannabis is full of nutrients. It’s also a complete protein with all the essential amino acids. It has a ton of vitamins and minerals, too. “The reason why I started juicing was to help my brain recover, but it was also to help get my colitis back in remission,” revealed Nicole Davidsohn. “I think because I needed the nutrients, it started to slow my digestion and bring my body back to homeostasis instead of an inflamed state. It didn’t heal my post-concussion syndrome. I went to speech therapy for that.” She adds, “Juicing is not the easiest thing in the world. I juice three times a week. But once I made a container of it, it last three days unless you vacuum seal it then it will last seven days. I wasn’t consistent at first. For the first year, I was juicing every month and taking other cannabinoids as well.” Birth Of Eva Starting the company Eva, they began as the first 100% comprehensively lab-tested dispensary delivery in Sonoma County. Both Dane Kemp and Nicole Davidsohn got familiar with the certificate of analysis on everything. Eventually, Eva was the only dispensary in California in 2015 to have their menu comprehensively third-party lab-tested. “The juice inspired the capsules that we have. I made one called Better Brain which has Bacopa, Matcha and the whole hemp plant flower in it. The speech therapy plus the juice and Better Brain capsules helped my brain to heal,” revealed Nicole Davidsohn. Mary The Dog Mary was Nicole Davidsohn’s a Pit/Dalmatian mix who received a terminal lymphoma diagnosis in October 2016. She was given three months to live with or without chemotherapy. Nicole Davidsohn was making the juice at the time and helping people with assorted health ailments. So, she thought of giving Mary the juice by incorporating it in her food. It was not long before Mary went from being fatigued to energized. “We also bought some CBD oils and mixed it with the whole plant. They were raw oils. But Mary did not respond the same way compared to when she was given the juice,” recalled Nicole Davidsohn. “I think because the oil is fat-soluble, and it takes a lot longer to digest and be absorbed.” Nicole Davidsohn continued to give Mary the juice with turmeric and ginger. The dog continued to stay energized and didn’t get sick. After Eva company developed Better Pet Relief for Mary’s cancer and arthritis, Mary’s cancer has gone into remission. The capsules also help manage Mary’s arthritis. Aside from this, Nicole Davidsohn also adds a little bit of black pepper extract into Mary’s diet to help in the absorption. Compatibility With Hemp Nicole Davidsohn explains that we have an endocannabinoid system. Endo means inside. We already have receptors and cannabinoids in our body. And cannabinoids are also found in the plant cannabis. But when we’re stressed out, we make fewer cannabinoids naturally. “When we take in external cannabinoids from hemp or cannabis, it’s like getting a multivitamin. So, it’s fulfilling that deficiency. I like to think of it as vitamins,” said Nicole Davidsohn. “When I think of the endocannabinoid system, I think like it’s just another set of receptors for a vitamin that we aren’t taking any more.” She adds, “I believe we have an epidemic of what I call endocannabinoid deficiency syndrome. When people are deficient in making their natural cannabinoids, they feel so much better when they ingest CBD oil, Eva CBD capsules or edibles.” Dementia First of all, Nicole Davidsohn says their capsules can’t cure, treat or manage any disease. For dementia, in particular, she suggests their product, Better Brain. Nicole Davidsohn also revealed that the element Bacopa was used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for dementia and there are studies behind it. But cannabis can also do that. All of Eva’s capsules contain whole flowers, so everything is raw. And it is made of organic hemp flowers. It aims to clear the brain and give you that phytocannabinoid nutrient in case you’re deficient in it which could also be causing memory loss. Nicole Davidsohn again assures everyone that the capsules will not get you stoned. Dosage According to Nicole Davidsohn, the capsules are formulated to last four hours. If you’re looking to last an entire day of super brain power, Nicole Davidsohn recommends taking one capsule when you wake up and another one in the afternoon. “The formulas are based on research I did to find the best dose of Bacopa, cannabinoids, and Matcha green tea,” Nicole Davidsohn said. “Bacopa is also an adaptogenic stress reliever. People use it for stress relief, and they also use it for pain relief.” Panic Attacks For panic attacks, Nicole Davidsohn highly suggests their Better Mood product. It contains Valerian Root, Lemon Balm, and Hemp. A little dose of Valerian Root helps you calm down. It’s used for insomnia, anxiety and increase GABA receptors. Nicole Davidsohn says Lemon Balm is safe even for kids. Many kids take Lemon Balm for anxiety and focus. Pain Medication Addiction Nicole Davidsohn says their formula may help someone with a pain medication addiction by employing phytocannabinoid therapy. As a person tapers off the hard pain drugs, Nicole Davidsohn suggests taking Better Relief Capsules. However, it is advisable to work with a doctor to help taper off the medications and increase the intake of raw cannabinoids with turmeric and ginger. “Many studies have shown how CBD and whole plant hemp can reduce the side effects of withdrawal by nourishing the endocannabinoid system,” said Nicole Davidsohn. “If we’re able to supplement the body with phytocannabinoids, it would help people get off pain medications more quickly.” Eva’s products are also safe for children because it is non-psychoactive. Nicole Davidsohn says all their capsules are whole herbs, whole plants, and raw vegan. Better Brain and Better Mood Capsules can help children focus better and address their emotional issues like anxiety. Nicole Davidsohn also says that one of the big things that children can benefit from phytocannabinoid therapy is to help them reduce toxin overload. Full Spectrum Full Spectrum would be including all of the cannabinoids and the naturally present terpenes in the plant. Nicole Davidsohn says you can get a Full Spectrum extract which would be using the whole plant. “Take a whole hemp flower, put it in some olive oil, shut it and put it in a dark place. Shake it once every day. Leave it in the dark cupboard for two weeks,” advises Nicole Davidsohn. “Then strain the oil out from the flower, and now you have a Full Spectrum Tincture.” Full Spectrum means it contains all of the cannabinoids and all of the terpenes that are naturally present in the plant. Nicole Davidsohn reveals that their company uses therapeutic hemp, specifically grown to be phytocannabinoid-rich, organic and does not have any contaminants in it. Eva Products There have been many success stories of people who have benefitted from cannabis juice and Eva’s products. Other worthy products to check out from the Eva website is Better Sleep and Better Pet Relief. As mentioned previously, Better Pet Relief helped Nicole Davidsohn’s dog get on the road to recovery.

Who needs help falling asleep? *raises hand* WARNING: Do not mix any sleep aids with alcohol - compounded drowsiness, depressed breathing or depressed heart rate Sleep Aids Melatonin - the chemical your brain makes when it's dark. Electronic light can interfere with your natural production of melatonin after the sun goes down. Valerian Root - claims to promote calming and relaxation 1st Generation Antihistamines - Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or Doxylamine (Unisom; also in NyQuil). They have natural drowsy side effect, so using for the purpose of that side effect is a common practice. Rozerem - stimulates melatonin production in your brain Hypnotics - Ambien (zolpidem), Lunesta (eszopiclone). They seduce your brain to sleep in an unnatural way, thus they have high risk side effects (vivid dreams, sleep driving/walking/eating) and a high risk of dependence. The side effects are due to the fact that the medications may get you to a deeper level of sleep before the rest of your body is prepared. Your body has a natural paralysis process to ensure you don't act out dreams in the REM cycle, but if your brain reaches REM before your body is paralyzed, you may do crazy things! Benzodiazepines - generic names end in -lam or -pam. Also have a risk of dependence and side effects (mainly "hangover" effect). Tricyclic Antidepressants - a symptom of depression is sleeping too much, but insomnia can be a symptom of depression. Also, insomnia can make you feel depressed - it's a vicious cycle. In small doses, they work to help rebalance the brain chemicals and reset the sleep-wake cycle. Where to Start Use as natural a solution as possible that is effective. Physiological and neurological issues can lead to chronic insomnia that is not corrected by the most natural solutions, thus pharmaceuticals are needed - and that's nothing to be ashamed of! Sunlight stimulates your eyes and tells your brain to make serotonin. When the light is gone, and that stimulation stops, serotonin stops and melatonin replaces it. This is how we functioned and planned our days back in the "old days". Summertime brings on long days and lots of sunlight. Thus we may not sleep as long because the long daylight hours keep us awake. But this can also be the issue in the winter and for people who experience SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) - the shorter daylight doesn't allow sufficient serotonin to be produced and we actually feel sad. Analyzing your sleep patterns and knowing your options will allow you to have a productive conversation with your doctor - different medications are used depending on if you have trouble falling asleep or waking up halfway through sleep or both. Audience Question *Melatonin in nursing: your natural melatonin gets in breast milk and is thought to help baby's sleep cycle (especially early on when baby's sleep-wake cycle may be backwards because that's how they rolled in the womb). Thus, if your natural melatonin gets into breast milk, then supplemented melatonin will get there too. The rationale is that if you're not sleeping (despite the exhaustion of having a new baby), then you may not be making enough natural melatonin. If you're going to take melatonin while breastfeeding, LOW dose is key to ensure the excess isn't deposited in the breast milk to pass on to baby - 3 mg seems to be the highest recommended, and I agree.

Reserve your spot now. Space is limited! ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: As compiled, edited and sometimes read by Brock, the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast "sidekick". Craig asks @ 00:32:38 After listening to the interview with Dr Cobb, he was wondering if Lasik (laser) Eye surgery might positively effect performance. ~ In my response to Craig, I mention the Z-Health interview and the Bates Method. Ian asks @ 00:42:27 His father has Restless Legs. Every night when he goes to bed his legs and shoulders twitch. He doesn't take any supplements but he does have lowish thyroid. Would like to know what he should be eating or taking. Could this be an inflammatory issue? ~ In my response, I recommend: Magnesium lotion, Floradix, Full spectrum antioxidant with Vitamin C and E, such as LifeShotz, Bitter melon extract, Valerian Root, Folic acid, Near Infrared, and Fish oil. Sidestitch says @ 00:53:10 She gets a left sided stitch when she drinks more than 4oz of water on a long run (she also gets an annoying sloshing feeling) and also at the end of shorter more intense sessions, if she has eaten less than 2 hours before. What's up with that and how can she stop it? Also, is there an easy way to find topics that have been covered on past podcasts? ~ This response can be found as part of the Ben Greenfield Fitness Top Hits, Vol. 1. Jim says @ 01:13:17 He is 46 years old and has been performing fasted workouts for the last 25 years. Lately he has been keeping an eye on his glucose levels due to a fasted glucose test of 129 and an A1C of 4.8. He noticed that during his hard fasted workouts his blood glucose increases up to 35 points. He has increased his cinnamon intake, is only eating carbs after workouts and is supporting his liver with bitter melon. He is curious if there is a way of quantifying that 35 point rise in terms of calories released by the liver. ~ In my response to Jim, I mention bitter melon extract. Katie asks @ 01:19:50 She knows there are a lot of artificial sweeteners in low carb products and would like to know the pros and cons of them. She also likes to drink tea and chew gum during her morning fasts and would like to know how artificial sweeteners can effect fasting. ~ In my response, I mention this B-Fresh gum. Matthew says @ 01:27:29On a previous podcast you mentioned that you are not a fan of the bench press and is wondering if you could expound on that and if you could suggest some alternatives.
