I'm excited to sit down with Dr. Stasha Gominak. We talk about the importance of vitamin D levels, sleep issues, and much more. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
Dr. Stasha Gominak grew up and attended college in California, then moved to Texas for medical school at Baylor College of Medicine, where she received an MD degree in 1983. Her Neurology residency was done at the Harvard affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. From 1991-2004 she practiced as a general neurologist in the San Francisco Bay area.
In 2004, Dr. Gominak moved to Tyler, Texas, where she focused on treating neurological illnesses by enhancing sleep, publishing a significant article in 2012 linking worsening global sleep issues to decreased sun exposure. She introduced the RightSleep® method in a 2016 article, connecting poor sleep to changes in the intestinal microbiome and offering a straightforward approach to normalize sleep and gut bacteria. That same year, she retired from her neurology practice to dedicate more time to teaching, now splitting her efforts between conducting virtual coaching sessions and instructing clinicians and coaches on using RightSleep® principles to boost their patients' health and well-being.
