201: Sleep Tips That Actually WORK | Morning Routines, Magnesium, Meal Timing & More

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I'm diving into one of my all-time favorite topics — sleep! 😴✨ This is a solo episode where I'm walking you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we're troubleshooting sleep. Because here's the thing: when we fix sleep, so much else starts to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition — it all connects back to how well you're resting at night. Whether you're a new mom running on fumes, someone who wakes up at 1am and can't fall back asleep, or just someone who never feels truly rested — this episode is for you. Here's what we chat about: The power of morning sunlight and why getting outside first thing is a game-changer Why most people are taking the wrong type of magnesium — and what to look for instead How castor oil packs support your liver, calm your nervous system, and help shift your body into rest-and-digest mode The meal timing sweet spot that makes a noticeable difference in sleep quality Why alcohol before bed is sabotaging your deep sleep (and what to have instead) The connection between blood sugar dips and that dreaded 1–3am wake-up window How to manage stress and screen time before bed so your nervous system can actually wind down My honest take on unplugging the Wi-Fi router at night and keeping your phone off your body My current favorite sleep supplements — including one that gives me that warm, calm feeling without the hangover And so much more!! This episode is a friendly reminder that great sleep doesn't just happen at night — it's built throughout your entire day. If you've been struggling to get consistent, restful sleep, I hope this gives you a solid starting point. And if you want to go deeper, I'd love to help you run some functional lab work to see what might be going on hormonally or metabolically. Send me an email at gina@fitnessista.com with "sleep" in the subject line and I'll send you all the details — no coaching fee to review your results, just answers! I love winding down with a warm cup of Organifi gold before bed, and I always pair my nightly routine with my favorite Magnesium supplement and Magnesium spray for extra relaxation.
