This one’s packed with powerful truths no one’s telling you about sleep — like:
🧠 Sleep is your body’s default healing mode, but stress can block your ability to enter parasympathetic recovery — even while you sleep.
🫁 Oxygen fuels ATP, the energy your cells need to repair your brain, gut, hormones, and immunity during the night. Shallow breathing = no healing.
🧬 And here's the part most people miss: Your body needs tryptophan, an amino acid found in protein, to make serotonin and melatonin — the exact chemicals that regulate your mood and your sleep cycle. But if your gut lining is damaged, or you have conditions like SIBO, you may not be absorbing tryptophan well — meaning you’re losing sleep before you even lay down.
💥 In this episode, we connect all the dots:
Gut health → Tryptophan → Serotonin → Melatonin → Deep sleep
Deep breathing → Oxygen → ATP → Nighttime cellular repair
How poor sleep mimics ADHD, depression, and burnout
And what you can do tonight to start sleeping like a boss
P.S. If your body is running on survival mode, this episode is your roadmap to real recovery. And if someone you love is struggling with energy or focus, share this with them — their sleep might be the key
