Up to 90% of UK adults now experience sleep problems - a crisis affecting not only health, but also behaviour, relationships and society at large. When our clients don’t sleep well, they struggle to regulate their emotions, may take more risks, make poorer decisions and reach for comfort foods. Their wider health can suffer too; poor sleep disrupts hormone balance, impairs blood glucose regulation, increases inflammation and compromises mental resilience.
In this webinar, Alessandro Ferretti will explore the physiology of sleep and its essential roles in homeostasis, detoxification, metabolism, cognition and emotional processing. Alessandro will examine sleep architecture and sleep cycles, key genetic variants including the CLOCK and PER genes, brain wave activity, how sleep patterns change across the lifespan (including the shifts that occur during menopause) and gain a deeper understanding of insomnia and its subtypes.
He will also explore the main sleep disrupters and causes of insomnia, and how to help clients build strong, healthy sleep foundations using clinically effective dietary, lifestyle and supplement strategies.
