Becoming Better: Creating a Better Health Story

Beth Hendry-Yim Season 1 Episode 4

Rituals, Melatonin and a Continuation on the Conversation about Sleep

Sleep is important for good health at any time, but now, in the face of a deadly pandemic, it's even more important and for many harder to come by. Stress and anxiety can have you staying up late with eyes glued to the news, or wide awake fretting about things you want to control but can't.

With immunity needing to be optimized more than ever, enough quality sleep is often times put on the bottom of the to-do-list.

Dr. Yim goes into detail about the cycle of stress and how melatonin production can be negatively impacted. Both Beth and John also talk about their journey to improving sleep, how food impacts quality of sleep and how gratitude and refocusing is helping both of them become better.
