This week Angela continues to look at hormones as part of her SHIFT protocol and is focusing on melatonin, a vital sleep regulator

She shares some great biohacks to improve the natural production of melatonin and explains how melatonin production is impacted by levels of stress and what you can do about it naturally to put you in the best place for great sleep every night



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Melatonin isn’t a sleep initiator but it is a sleep regulator
To bio-hack your sleep with melatonin you need to get stress and light under control
Get outside into the natural light as early in the morning as you can
Cortisol and melatonin have an inverse relationship and being highly stressed in the evening inhibits the production of melatonin
A red light therapy device can help to regulate your circadian rhythm
Having some kind of carbohydrates along with protein foods rich in tryptophan is beneficial
EMS from electronic devices can interfere with deep slow way sleep and the production of melatonin



BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s important you are producing enough melatonin if you want to have a good night’s sleep’

‘Serotonin gives a tremendous boost in mood’

‘Make sure you are getting enough protein in your diet’
