Insomnia Naturopath

Our Naturopaths assess your diet and lifestyle habits, your body’s biochemical function, as well as external factors that can influence your health to provide a holistic and comprehensive care model.

The Naturopathic Approach to tackle sleeping problems and Insomnia:

Regulate Circadian Rhythm

Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock that is responsible for regulating your sleep-wake cycle. In cases of insomnia, this natural cycle is usually out of balance. Lifestyle interventions, specific nutrients and herbal medicines can help to re-adjust your circadian rhythm.

Rebalance Neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters are the body’s chemical messengers, which help to regulate sleep, mood and appetite among a number of other things. GABA is an ‘inhibitory’ neurotransmitter, meaning it helps to calm the nervous system and therefore can reduce anxiety levels and promote healthy sleep. Your Naturopath will recommend pathology testing to assess the levels of GABA and other important neurotransmitters in your body. Evidence-based nutritional and herbal supplements, as well as dietary and lifestyle strategies, are used to rebalance neurotransmitters. This helps to improve sleep disorders, such as insomnia.

Nervous System Support

As well as addressing the biochemical imbalances in the body, our Naturopaths can help you implement lifestyle strategies that support the nervous system. These include implementing practices and behaviours that promote healthy sleep, identifying and managing sources of stress, supporting your nervous system to be able to better cope with stress, and addressing any lifestyle factors that are contributing to your insomnia. Naturopaths are also highly trained in using herbal medicine and nutrients to support a healthy sleeping cycle. 

Psychology Techniques and Support

As well as this, if needed, our Psychologists may also provide assistance in managing insomnia through cognitive behavioural therapy and relaxation training.
