Taking your sleep supplement right before bed might actually be the problem.

Wait—what?

If you’ve ever popped magnesium at 9pm, only to find yourself wide awake, replaying an awkward conversation you had in 2004—there’s a reason for that.

Sleep supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all. They need to work with your hormones.

In this week's episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on my go-to supplements for better sleep in midlife—so you can finally get the rest your body needs and kick hormonal weight gain to the curb.

In this episode, I’ll answer your most-asked questions, including:

✅ How do hormone imbalances affect sleep?

✅ What supplements actually work for sleep during perimenopause or menopause?

✅ Why does one sleep supplement knock out my friend but does nothing for me?

✅ Could my sleep issues be tied to blood sugar?

✅ What type of magnesium is best for sleep?

✅ What’s the best supplement for 3am wakeups?

✅ When’s the best time to take sleep supplements—before bed or earlier in the evening?

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the ceiling, wondering why those melatonin gummies that knock out your bestie hit YOU like a tranquilizer dart—this episode’s for you. 🎧
