In Part 2 of our sleep series, Amanda and Katie shift from unpacking the root causes of poor sleep to giving you clear, practical, chronic-illness–friendly strategies you can start using tonight.

This is the episode that finally explains how to actually support your nervous system, your gut, your hormones, and your circadian rhythm so your body can rest — even if you’ve struggled with sleep for months or years.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why traditional sleep hygiene doesn’t work when your system is inflamed or dysregulated
• What to do if your brain feels too awake at night, even when your body is exhausted
• The nervous-system tools that work fastest to reduce night-time wiredness
• Why your body needs rhythm, structure, and predictability to feel safe enough to sleep
• The crucial role of blood sugar balance in calming night-time cortisol spikes
• Why building resilience — not perfection — is the real key to healing your sleep
• The concept of “body trust” and how to rebuild it after years of burnout or chronic stress

If you feel like you're doing everything right yet still struggling to get quality rest, this episode is for you.
