What makes 3am so special?

Around the second half of the night your brain cycles into more REM sleep. Your cortisol begins rising to prep for morning.

This should be a gentle nudge, not an alarm.

In perimenopause:
Fluctuating estradiol and dysregulated cortisol timing plus low progesterone = loss of GABA. This means that normal cortisol nudges feel like fire alarms.

Result:
Your hormones are literally waking you up.

Your missing sleep hormone:
Progesterone converts into allopregnanolone in your brain…a natural calming compound that enhances GABA signaling (same pathway meds target).

When your progesterone is low or erratic you lose that GABA break. Nighttime cortisol arousal increases and sleep becomes fragmented.

What actually works:

💫Bedtime bioidentical progesterone. 100-200mg restores your GABA break.

💫Estrogen reduces awakenings beyond hot flash relief.

💫CBT-I cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.

💫Consistent bed and wake times.

💫Morning light within 60 min of waking.

💫Caffeine curfew by noon.

💫Alcohol-free nights.

Matthew has worked with children, youth, and adults around the world and practices from a person-centered, strength-based approach - meeting his clients where they are at and walking alongside them to empower and educate them to help them reach their next goal successfully.

Throughout his work, Matthew integrates Biblical based principles, as well as numerous practices that include and promote mindfulness and self-efficacy (assisting the individual to see their own capability). Additionally, Matthew builds upon Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy frameworks to assist clients in breaking down unhealthy/harmful ways of thinking, take the next steps towards healthier coping and thinking/reframing, as well as focusing on tangible solutions and outcomes that are applicable and relevant to them.

Compared to metformin, NAC more effectively improves lipids, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, ovulation rates, endometrial thickness, oxidative stress and testosterone levels.

The data on NAC is pretty incredible.

Hormonal improvements, metabolic improvements and fertility improvements.
