Diet, Sleep, and Well-being

Sleep, nutrition, and fasting are more connected than most people realize. Dr. Csilla Veress from TrueNorth Health shares how plant-based foods rich in magnesium and melatonin can improve sleep quality, why fiber and the microbiome play a central role in rest, and how intermittent fasting resets the circadian rhythm.

She explains the surprising ways inflammation disrupts deep sleep, the impact of high-fat diets on sleep architecture, and why late-night eating is so hard to break. From tart cherries and kiwis to the science of serotonin and melatonin, Dr. Veress offers practical food choices that support better nights.
