Alleviating Insomnia Caused by Adrenal Fatigue & High Cortisol at Night
I've experienced not being able to sleep 90% of the time for the last 25 years. This of course has taken its toll upon my health and is reflected also in the degree of wrinkles I have on my face that would not otherwise be there.
In my continued search for the ideal
biochemistry that enables me to sleep, I've continued to learn and apply what I've learned. The latest combination of products has given me 2 nights of 4 hours of sleep and one night of 2 hours of sleep. This may not sound like much to you, but it is immensely encouraging to me.
This combination of products consists of:
Tri-Phos-B, which gives me the active form of B1, B2 and B6. The B1 and B2 support my brains need for energy while I sleep and the B6
supports my brains conversion of tryptophan into serotonin and melatonin. It take 1 of these with dinner.
Cortisol Stress Reset, supplies a combination of nutrients all proven to lower cortisol. I take 2 of these at dinner and 1 at bedtime.
Recently I started to use 1 spray of Synergy One in the afternoon around 3 to 4pm and this caused my afternoon fatigue to clear up in about 20 minutes. Then rather than wanting to stay up past 10 pm, I felt tired by
8:30pm and went to be by 9pm. This means that my tendency to have high cortisol at night and not be able to get any slept was being overcome with this intervention.
Then I added 1.5 scoops of Dr. Friedlanders Collagen Peptide to either some diluted apple juice or to raw goats milk and had that with dinner. I asked Dr. Friendlander, why is it that when I add his Collagen protein powder to my dinner that it helps me to sleep. He answered: "This high quality collagen helps to
restore the Direct Current that our body's operate on and therefore opens up the electron flow to the mitochondria, it acts as a semiconductor. This in turn can improve one's sleep quality."
So, there you have it my friend. If you are a night owl then you have high cortisol at night and might find taking this combination of products to rescue you from insomnia as well.
Health and Happiness to you, Stephen Heuer, B.S. Nutripath
