Knowing that the most important hormones for sleeping well are produced in the gut: serotonin and melatonin, it immediately becomes clear how important it is to pay attention to your gut health.
This is because the right bacteria in the gut transform your food into neurotransmitters our brains need to function properly such as dopamine, gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), histamine and acetylcholine, for example.
GABA, for example, is essential for good and restful sleep. Melatonin ensures that you can sleep well in and through the night. Melatonin, by the way, is found four hundred times more in our intestines than in the pineal gland in our brain. And serotonin in turn is the preparatory hormone for the production of melatonin and has a great influence on how you feel.
Death resides in the gut and disease resides in the belly, are age-old folk wisdom. But the opposite is also true: Our vitality and immune system are also in the gut. Proper functioning of the intestines with a healthy intestinal wall and active intestinal mucosa (glycocalyx) are essential in this regard. This supports a good sleep-wake rhythm and proper brain function.
Since we know from experience that many people have problems with their bowels, we have developed a special program: SleepDetox. It is a program from A to Z that helps you restore the connection between your gut and your biorhythms.

Sleeping well and nutrition are inextricably linked. What you eat, when you eat and how you eat all affect your sleep. For many people, this is an eye opener. If you pay more attention to your nutrition, you will almost automatically sleep better. So does nutrition affect my sleep that much? I hear you thinking. Could that be the cause of my sleeping problems? Or that I don't feel fit and sometimes even down during the day?
Yes, this is indeed the case. The right food allows you to sleep better, deeper and especially more soundly, while unhealthy foods can actually keep you from sleeping. And conversely, a good night's sleep also affects your eating habits: in fact, you eat more unhealthily when you sleep less.
Moreover, unhealthy food lowers the production of important hormones that are essential for sleeping well. A shortage of these hormones causes you to sleep worse again and you end up in a kind of vicious cycle. So, in short, it all starts on your plate. With a healthy, varied diet of high quality.
