Can’t Sleep? Vitamin D & Nutrition to Fix Sleep Switches w/ Dr Stasha Gominak

[@sarahknehr1362]

I've been an RPSGT (sleep tech) for 20 years. Thank you for all this valuable information! You asked about people whose sleep apnea tests come back negative. One thing to consider is that Medicare about 10 years ago changed the definition of a hypopnea. The private insurers have slowly been following suit. So now what we see in the lab is patients with hypopneas that are continually waking them up but they do not have OSA according to the new definitions. The old definition of a hypopnea was a respiratory event followed either by an arousal or a 3% blood oxygen desaturation. The new definition of a hypopnea is a respiratory event that must be followed by a 4% desaturation, with absolutely no concern for whether it woke the patient up. Why did the definitions change? For the insurance companies to save money of course! They focused on a study by some cardiologists that said 4% desaturations are where patients become at risk for hypertension, stroke, heart attack, all that jazz. So now people only get treated for sleep apnea if it's putting them at risk cardiac wise but they could be having hypopneas with 3% desats and waking up every 30 seconds all night long but they no longer qualify for treatment of their apnea. It's a disgrace!

It's been over 8 days and i am on my 3rd night of 7 hours of sleep. I started with the 15k iu of vitamin D as she suggests.. these past three days have been such a blessing.

[@DK-od1jl]

The fact that Dr. Gominak charges 80$ for a "sleep workbook" which literally just says to take vitamin D and B vitamins for a certain period of time is a reflection of her greediness/narcissism. There is little to no evidence for most of her "revolutionary" claims about Vitamin D and sleep and her ideas about your body needing "extra B's" are based solely on her speculation. Please avoid getting sucked into the nonsense this doctor is spouting out and buying her worthless book. Daily intense cardio, healthy diet, and normal circadian rhymn is all most people need to achieve optimal health. supplementing with Vitamin D can also be helpful, but most of the major claims she makes about it are not supported by evidence. Also, her "hibernation theory" is complete speculation and is also not supported by any evidence.

I was born in the early 1950’s in a small village in East Africa with no upper palate at all. At the age of 18 months my parents moved back to US and I had an amazingly good palate built in a Seattle children’s Hospital. I was the first baby to receive this method of building a top palate, so it was filmed. I have had so many weird illnesses my entire life.Yes sleep problems, blocked nasal passages, weakened ability to perspire etc.And impaired immunity.

The FDA is threatening to shut down Dr. Mercola for his promotion of Vitamin D to fight respiratory illnesses including COVID. The man is trying to save lives and our government wants to silence him. Why are they so threatened by a supplement?

Talk about perfect timing... I just found the first part yesterday. Definitely looking forward to hearing this one too :)

I feel like most of this podcast could be superimposed onto migraines. Since I have the sleep disorder too, I guess I should watch it again. Thanks!

Aaaamen to 1:37:00!! Soo good! We need more people shouting this truth rather companies who have no care for us at all giving/selling drugs to help us feel better but not actually solve the deficiencies in our bodies!

HALLELUJAH!! WHAT AMAZING INFORMATION!! SO H-A-P-P-Y I decided to watch,listen & LEARN!! THANKS Dr.Gomaneck & Mike!

[@cmanycrows8400]

Remarkable! I just listened to your first interview with the Dr. from three years ago last night! I was truly impressed with the discussion and linked it to a bunch of friends and family. This evening I hop on to the web to look her up again only to discover that you just posted this new one today! Great timing. Thanks to both of you.

[@larryrobinson1399]

My gut tells me this is one of the most honest doctors I have ever seen and I thank you for that cause I’ve been threw hell with them , maybe not there fault but still hell, after 3 years and a lot of cash I finally checked my Vit d level and working on others , it’s a 22 so I started my journey … I have felt what I would say is dreaming while awake but only when I’m almost to sleep , very weird I have learned to accept these odd feelings but hoping the vit d helps me , thank you doc

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about ten years ago and began cpap therapy. Over the past several months, I have modified my diet to increase vegetables, eliminate meat and poultry and fish, and severely reduce gluten and dairy. For the first time, the frequency of apnea episodes stabilized, then it started to go down. This is not the only change I have made, but it is the most "daily" change. My osteoarthritis has also improved.

[@explorster]

You need some kind of meat in your diet.

[@darrenwalshe8513]

No meat no b vitamins, try paleo or blood type diet

[@eugeniebreida]

Reducing or eliminating gluten/grain products and dairy would reduce nasal inflammation… and some are allergic to various fish… Congrats on improvements. For me plenty of organic meat and mostly deep green veg serve me well - also sardines/omega 3 oils/cod livers or oil…

Learn TM.org. Then meditate for 5-10 minutes (Other than the normally instructed 15 to 20 minutes twice daily of TM) at the opposite time of day that you woke up during the night the day before. It always breaks that pattern and repairs the cycle! You may need to repeat it for a couple of days. Set your timer for five minutes before that a.m. or p.m. time that you need to meditate, so you don’t forget relief to do it. It’s a great relief!!

In the northern countries where there are many dark months, they used to eat a lot of butter, mackerel and cod liver oil. I found out recently that that's how their ancestors went through the very long winters. I have just now started to give the kids and myself cod liver oil instead of those synthetic useless supplements. We should look more into what our ancestors did where we live, like she said about being outside a lot more before we introduced a new lifestyle. Thank you to these kind of doctors who dedicate their lives to actually help people. Those useless politicians receiving millions from lobbies doing nothing for the people is just so unfair...

[@shanti888]

It’s funny how people always cite ancestors. As if humanity wasn’t evolving in knowledge. Just a few generations ago, folks were lucky to live to be 60.

[@elizabethfletcher1487]

Shanti, you are oh so right! Poor things did not have the AMA to keep them broke while they sort of lived for another 15 years or so.

[@Katsem]

For me, cod liver oil from pure, cold ocean waters, that actually come from a cod's liver is preferable to "fish oil" from what and where? I also use cold pressed hemp oil as a supplement, sometimes as part of a salad dressing, sometime just straight off the spoon. Good stuff in there too.

[@johannajordan370]

@@Katsem There are no pure ocean waters anywhere despite what they may claim on their labels to sell product. Everything is polluted..please be AWARE OF COD LIVER OILS..as they have killed people b/c they can be pretty rancid!

[@maxkendall1298]

Cod liver oil is great - make sure it is prepared in a non-destructive way. BTW cod liver oil is made from the liver of cod. Fish oil is from the skin of fish- Two completely different things, do not get confused.

This is foundational information. I took copious notes 3 years ago and I did this time too. It is difficult to know who to go to next for more digging on sleep and the microbiome. I was listening to the video and hit pause to ask my friend if any of her kids had ADD and did they smoke? She said yes, 3 of them. And they all can't sleep. That kind of blew me away. Immediate validation. Keep up the good work. The comments are also extremely good and help open up avenues of thought. Thank you.

My sleep went right out the window with hormonal changes.... big time. I went on HRT recently , sleep did improved, then I got a brutal UTI I was placed on multiple ABs took about 3 weeks to clear up. My sleep is terrible again, and my anxiety and depression is horrible. Now I’m on a mission to sleep and to heal, it’s a battle

After antibiotics they say it trashes our microbiome .Which will trash our sleep .So have to take the proper probiotics to return a balance to our microbiome .Can be difficult to know the correct balance of them .Heard of a study where they compared healthy people's microbiome to unhealthy people's microbiome .To see what the unhealthy were missing .Better to try to replace them than to not replace them at all .
