Want to try my nervous system nightcap?  For the last few months, I’ve been sipping this simple recipe about 30 minutes before I go to bed and it's been a game-changer in helping me get quality sleep and have more energy during the day. So, of course, I wanted to share it with you!In today’s episode, I’ll give you the recipe for my nervous system nightcap, and also break down the science behind it.  When our stress hormone cortisol is running on overdrive all day (and depleting our glycogen stores), it can wreak havoc on our sleep. So, having a drink that naturally contains melatonin and supports our adrenal glands helps to regulate our stress response and promote relaxation and sleep.Give this recipe a try for a few weeks and let me know how it goes.
