Sleep Restore Protocol

+33 more items in Sleep Restore Protocol

This protocol will help you restore your natural day/night rhythm and make the sleep you get more restorative. Here are some general guidelines to institute along with how to take the supplements in this protocol: Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day Have daily exposure to natural light first thing in the morning Ground your body to the earth outside for at least 15 minutes during daylight hours, this is crucial for resetting your body's circadian rhythm Get regular exercise each day, preferably in the morning -- a daily walk is perfect. Do not exercise strenuously past 6 pm. No caffeine or other stimulants after 3 pm Take low dose melatonin and probiotics (Sleep + Restore) at dusk, even if dusk is several hours before you will head to bed -- melatonin needs to be taken as the sun sets, not right before bed Stop screens (phones, laptops, television) for 1-2 hours before bed or wear blue light blocking glasses Just prior to bed, soak in a warm bath with White Egret's Magnesium Bath Crystals in it to relax muscles, this will also be a wonderful healing grounding session to help your body transition towards sleep. You may also consider sleeping on an organic grounding bed topper for grounding support all night long Keep bedroom temperature cooler (65 - 67 degrees is ideal) and place a cold washcloth or cold pack across your forehead as you fall asleep Just before sleep, take Liposomal Magnesium Glycinate and SleepTides Synergy to help deepen restorative sleep and lower cortisol at night, resetting your circadian rhythm to improve not only tonight's sleep, but your entire sleep rhythm moving forward. If you still can't fall asleep, drink a warm cup of relaxing Magnesium Drink Mix. Magnesium Citrate is a natural muscle relaxant and you will find your body melting divinely into sleep after you drink it, especially good for those with muscle tension, restless leg syndrome, or those that grind their teeth. If you wake in the night, take 1-2 chewable GABA Trex supplements (can be chewed and swallowed without water, left by your bedside) which is why I like this formulation best for nighttime use! To a good night's sleep! xoxo, Laura Koniver, MD

Constipation Relief

To gently and effectively relieve constipation, follow this plan: 1. Jumpstart and reset your gut's health with the 14 day Gut Reset, then when you have completed that 2 week protocol, switch to the 20-14 Probiotic blend and continue taking those moving forward 2. Take GI Fortify daily, to support healthy intestinal lining repair and boost fiber intake 3. To soften stools, and keep them soft, take Mg-Lax as needed, a magnesium formulated stool softener. Take 3 capsules daily for relief of hard stools, then back down to 1 or 2 capsules daily to keep stools easy to pass moving forward. This is a complete plan that resets your gut microbiota, repairs the intestinal wall from stress and strain, boosts fiber intake as well as softens stools to make them easier to pass. You can take this protocol as needed, even indefinitely, have food pass properly through your GI tract without uncomfortable constipation, keep your gut microbiota balanced, and feel your best every day! xoxox, Laura Koniver MD

Grounding Boost

I get asked all the time if there is a way to make grounding more powerful. And actually, the answer is yes! There are several things you can do to make your body even more conductive and ready to ground: stay well hydrated correct any mineral deficiencies remove dead skin from your body and have well moisturized skin. In the human body, conductivity requires two things: water and electrolytes. This creates an electrolytic solution that can pass the flow of an electric potential from cell to cell to cell, spreading instantly throughout your entire body. If you are dehydrated or mineral depleted, you decrease your body’s conductivity. So first, be sure to drink a big glass of clean water before and after all grounding sessions. Second, make sure you are eating mineral rich foods (like nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, chlorella, spirulina, kelp and other sea vegetables, bone broth, darkly leafy greens, avocado, wild caught fish, fermented foods, free range eggs, grass fed beef, grass fed cheese and grass fed butter) plus add a few drops of the trace mineral supplement (the exact one I list below is my favorite, and it comes in a glass container, very important!) into each glass of water you drink... this will supply plenty of magnesium and calcium and potassium to your cells. Third, exfoliate routinely, using a gentle exfoliant like the salt scrub or the detox scrub that I have listed for you below... this will encourage the removal of dead skin cells to ensure that your skin has boosted conductivity without the keratinized layer of dead skin covering it and reducing it's ability to get grounded. You may want to treat yourself to routine pedicures to remove callouses on feet, if needed, as thick layers of dead skin will block grounding... similar to a thick layer of bark on a tree. You want to remove dead skin so that your fresh hydrated skin is easily accessible by the earth’s energy. Lastly, moisturize that fresh soft glowing skin with a moisturizer that enhances conductivity... my favorite is the skin healing, hydrating, conductivity boosting ACS silver gel listed below. Apply over your body prior to grounding, particularly on the area of your body where you intend to have contact with the earth (such as your hands before touching a tree, or your feet before resting them on an indoor grounding tool. ) You may also like my favorite magnesium lotion, which I have waiting for you here. Follow these steps to enhance your grounding experience and enjoy healing! xoxo, Laura Koniver, MD
