FASTING SLEEP AND NURTURING YOUR INNER CHILD 〰️ 🤔 Have you ever noticed how soundly your child sleeps 🛏? 〰️ There is a very important point we are trying to make here… ❓How long do you wait in the morning to feed your child? ❓How often throughout the day do you offer them snacks/meals? 〰️ We as parents are very accommodating to our children’s needs. Why? Because we KNOW the repercussion of a hungry child! 〰️ 🤔If we know the importance of nutrition and nourishment for our children, why then as we age do we forget the importance of nourishment for ourselves? 〰️ 🤔What if we told you in order to achieve the level of healing/sleep you desire you need to nurture yourself the same way you would an infant/child? 〰️ WELL IT IS TRUE! 〰️ 💎When your energy systems become compromised as a result of fasting, undereating, over exercising, chronic stress, etc. you begin to have sleep, hormonal, and energy issues. When this occurs, it then becomes IMPERATIVE to feed our body’s in a way that creates balance and by regulating the hormonal fluctuations in hormones induced by chronic stress. 〰️ If you cannot fall asleep, stay asleep, have a racing mind, feel wired but tired THE REASON IS ALL THE SAME. 〰️ ❌No it is not a detox issue, candida or SIBO issue (these are just symptoms). 〰️ 💎It’s the inability of your nervous system and physiology to find balance in its current environment and under the current conditions (physical, nutritional, mental, emotional). Your ability to sleep and stay asleep has everything to do with blood sugar and your liver. 〰️ Fasting….. ✔️exhausts primary and adaptive energy systems ✔️stimulates the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system ✔️exhausts the pancreas ✔️leaves us reactive to even small amounts of sugar ✔️causes hypoglycemia ✔️is a burden to the liver ✔️decreases energy (glucose) storage in the liver ✔️decreases thyroid hormone conversion ✔️decreases cellular energy production ✔️leads to bacterial overgrowths, fatigue, hypothyroidism, PMS, low libido, low energy, thinning of hair and more. #fastingsleep #cantsleep #insomniafasting #sleepissuessuck #icantsleep #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas #fastingbenefits #hypothyroidismandfasting https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBsiYlBmsF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iyh8nljq7ako
