The Role of Gut Health in Sleep

Your gut health plays a vital role in your overall well-being and sleep. Here’s how it connects:

Nutrient Absorption: A healthy diet rich in whole foods should meet your body’s micronutrient needs. However, conditions like IBS or poor gut health can interfere with nutrient absorption, impacting your sleep and energy levels.
Acid Reflux and Sleep Apnea: Acid reflux can be linked to sleep apnea. If you experience reflux and suspect sleep apnea, consult your doctor or consider an at-home sleep apnea test, such as those available in the Sleep Corner.

Questions to Ask Yourself or Your Doctor:

Could my gut health be impacting my sleep?
Am I absorbing nutrients effectively, or might I have deficiencies contributing to fatigue or insomnia?
Could a sleep disorder like sleep apnea be affecting my health?
Are there dietary changes I could make to support better sleep?
Would a sleep aid like MDsleep or MDcalm align with my current medications or conditions?
