In this 45-minute masterclass, Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath Bee Innes explores the foundational role of sleep in overall health through the lens of functional medicine. By addressing root causes rather than symptoms, Bee guides participants through the physiology of sleep, common disruptors, and practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support restful nights and vibrant days.
Key Takeaways From This Session:
- Understanding Sleep’s Role: Why sleep is essential for repair, detoxification, hormonal balance, and cellular regeneration.
- Root Causes of Sleep Issues: How functional medicine identifies stress, blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, hormonal shifts, and environmental triggers as key disruptors.
- Circadian Rhythm Insights: How the correct levels of light exposure, cortisol, and melatonin regulates the body clock — and why disruption can lead to inflammation and immune issues.
- Nutrition for Better Sleep: How foods rich in tryptophan, magnesium, zinc, and B6 support serotonin and melatonin production; and which evening snacks help stabilise blood sugar.
- Lifestyle Reset Tools: The right approach to morning light, digital sunsets, and sleep hygiene rituals (cool, dark rooms and consistent routines) can help anchor healthy sleep patterns.
- Functional Self-Care: How to use botanicals, breathwork, and relaxation techniques to create a supportive sleep environment, with Bee’s five key principles that offer a holistic roadmap.
