    Stress is a sleep KILLER. And one of the top questions I get from my patients is how to help them alleviate stress and anxiety so they can sleep.
    Stress increases your cortisol hormone levels and can disrupt sleep and your neurotransmitters. NATURAL, over-the-counter supplements have been shown to have a dramatic impact on reducing stress. I’m talking about supplements like magnesium, l-theanine, valerian, and even ashwagandha.
    ALWAYS take supplements under the care of your doctor. But for more on why I LOVE these supplements for stress and anxiety, and why I think they can be helpful for you, check out my full video right here.

    Ashwaganda over long term is problematic; do more of your research on this; the info he gives is insufficient. As for 5HTP, it inhibits the production of the necessary amino acid, l-tyrosine & so one must supplement for it (@ 10x the amt of 5HTP) when taking 5HTP. Finally, as for consulting your health care provider on supplements: lots of luck! the majority of MDs have no training nor, worse, interest in nutritional medicine.

      You're spot on.
      Doctors are plain idiots.
      And ashwagandha makes you numb.
      I took it for many months and it kinda made me emotionless

    Just a question: is it true that GABA assumed from supplementation doesn’t get trough brain blood barriers? If it’s like that it would be useless to supplementing it. What’s your opinion about it? Thanks

    Thank you so much for sharing this information. I've had insomnia for 3 years it just kind of suddenly creeped up after a lot of stressful events. I've seen countless doctors have had dozens of tests done. I was severely deficient in some different minerals and 5thp and GABA. I'm on 5thp but Gaba gives me anxiety; do you have a suggestion on what else I could take instead of gaba? Thank you!!

    Uff, no way I can ever use valerian… It makes me consistently tired. It feels sedative rather than relaxing for me. I strongly dislike it…
    I use Ashwagandha and Rhodiola alternatively and those work great for me.

      I learned from other Dr. Breus videos he has his PhD in Sleep Psychology and he is also experienced (degreed?? I forget) in the medical aspect of sleep. He really helped me stop terrible leg spasms at night talking about L-Threonate magnesium. I've had relief for months now. No other Doctor ever mentioned it to me.
