Free Health Lecture - Stress and Insomnia: Breaking the Cycle In-Person

With Dr. Somesh N. Kaushik, Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Physician

Reasons for insomnia - whether acute (temporary) or chronic (ongoing) – abound. Stress, anxiety, depression, physical discomfort, pain, llness, side effects from medications, schedule or lifestyle changes, and environmental triggers, are just a few things that can impact sleep. The results are numerous and can result in a never-ending downward spiral of irritability, mood swings, impaired judgement, cognitive unctioning, accidents, as well as being a precursor to serious illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, aging, and more.

Come and discover:

  • Causes for insomnia and/or interrupted sleep patterns
  • Why 8 hours may not be the correct amount of sleep for you
  • How to regain balance and establish the right sleep pattern for you
  • If age has anything to do with your sleep pattern
  • Body types that are more prone to stress and how to compensate
  • Foods that reduce stress and foods to avoid to help you sleep
  • Natural supplements or herbs that can aid in reducing stress and promoting sleep
  • Exercises, meditations, and mantras that promote relaxation
