Struggling to fall asleep — or waking up at 3am, wide awake and anxious? You’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong. In this episode, we unpack what’s really behind sleep disruptions in your 40s and 50s, including the hormonal shifts, blood sugar dips, and neurological changes that often go ignored.

You’ll learn:

– Why declining oestrogen and progesterone impact your brain’s ability to rest

– What those early-morning wake-ups actually mean

– The surprising link between sleep and blood sugar

– How alcohol, cortisol, and melatonin all play a role

– Simple, realistic strategies to help your body feel safe enough to sleep again

No pressure. No perfection. Just grounded support — and one small shift to start sleeping better tonight.

✨ Plus: Julia shares a gentle “Before the Salad” action step you can try this evening, along with details on her Morning Reset Ritual and live Mini Classes.
