How to Get Better Sleep Naturally: Supplements, Habits & Simple Fixes with Dr. Meredith Broderick
If you struggle to fall asleep, wake up during the night, or feel like your sleep is light and unrefreshing, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Kylie sits down with Dr. Meredith Broderick, a Stanford-trained neurologist and sleep medicine physician, to explore why sleep issues are rarely about willpower or bedtime routines alone.
This conversation looks at sleep through a deeper lens, focusing on rhythm, stress, and the signals your body uses to decide when it is safe to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid rules, this episode helps you understand what might be quietly disrupting your sleep, even when you feel like you are doing “all the right things.”
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Why sleep problems show up as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or light sleep
- The difference between sleep habits and sleep signals
- How stress and mental load affect sleep quality, not just sleep onset
- Why some popular sleep tools help some people and backfire for others
- The connection between sleep, hormones, gut health, and energy
If sleep has been feeling harder than it should, this episode will help you make sense of why.
