STOP GUESSING
Why You Can't Sleep...
& START TESTING
If you're a problem-solver who tracks your health, does the research, and still can't figure out why you're not sleeping...
You've tried the supplements. The perfect bedtime routine. The apps and trackers. Maybe even sleeping pills. You're doing everything right: so why are you still lying awake at 3am or taking 30+ minutes to fall asleep?
There's a reason WHY.
Here's what most people don't know: your body is telling you that something is wrong. Hidden imbalances, like gut pathogens, hormone dysregulation, neurotransmitter depletion, or cortisol spikes, are keeping you awake. But standard bloodwork doesn't catch them.

How lack of sleep is affecting you...

"Getting through the day went from brute force, cranking through the day, to much more effortless now that I'm sleeping better. Things just flow better now. I'm not having to strong arm my way through the day. It's just fantastic my outlook on everything."

Common Questions
We have answers
Waking at 3am is usually a cortisol problem. When there is stress or inflammation in the body during the night, cortisol gets released — and that spike wakes you up, makes your mind race, and makes it hard to fall back asleep. The most common root causes are a gut pathogen, liver detox issues, and low blood sugar. Neurotransmitter imbalances and hormone imbalances can also be contributing factors.
A functional sleep coach uses functional lab testing to identify the underlying health issues and imbalances in the body that are affecting sleep. Rather than guessing or relying on sleep hygiene and mindset work alone, the approach uses the science of lab testing to find what is actually driving the insomnia — things that standard bloodwork and conventional sleep medicine typically miss.
A sleep doctor primarily tests for sleep disorders, mainly sleep apnea. If you are taking a long time to fall asleep, waking for long periods in the middle of the night, or tossing and turning, that is typically insomnia — not apnea. CBT-I addresses sleep habits and the mental side of insomnia, which is valuable, but it does not address physical root causes in the body. Functional sleep coaching starts where those approaches leave off.
The Complete Sleep Solution program uses four functional lab tests: 1. the Hormone Zoomer, which looks at cortisol patterns, sex hormones, melatonin, and liver function
2. the Gut Zoomer, which identifies pathogens and overall gut health 3. a neurotransmitter test
4. the Toxin Zoomer, which screens for heavy metals, environmental chemicals, PFAS, and mycotoxins from mold.
Together these give a complete picture of what is driving the insomnia.
If you have already tried standard sleep hygiene and CBT-I and they have not resolved your insomnia, a physical root cause is most likely involved. These are the kinds of imbalances — gut pathogens, hormone dysregulation, neurotransmitter depletion, toxin burden — that standard bloodwork is not designed to detect. Functional lab testing is specifically built to find them.
It varies by person, but at least half of clients start sleeping better within the first month — often before the lab results are even back. The average is around three months. The program runs six months because that is the longest it should take to see significant improvement. Results tend to come faster for people who are younger, already have a healthy lifestyle, and are on fewer medications. Sometimes energy and feeling more rested improve before sleep itself does.
We work with clients all over the world, including Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Norway, Croatia, Singapore, and more, so we can likely work with you, too.The cost is the same but you may have to pay a little extra to ship your samples to the labs in addition to the program cost.
