You Can Get Your Eight Hours of Sleep. Here's How!

Vitality101 Newsletter

Hello Reader,

Before the light bulb was invented, Americans averaged nine hours of sleep a night. But since then, our sleep has dropped to just six and three quarters hours.

That much sleep loss is easily costing us 30% of the energy we’d otherwise have!

But when it comes to how much sleep we each need, one size doesn’t fit all. Just as we all have different shoe sizes, we all need different amounts of sleep to be at our best. To find out what you personally need, turn off your alarm clock and cancel any morning obligations you have for a few days. You’ll find out soon enough how much sleep you truly need to feel optimally rested.

Why Low Estrogen Drives Weight Gain in CFS & Fibromyalgia

Earlier in-house research at our Kona Research Center found that people with CFS and fibromyalgia experienced an average weight gain of 32½ pounds. This increase is influenced by several contributing factors, including:

1. Decreased energy production
2. Hormonal deficiencies, including low thyroid and low reproductive hormones
3. Fluctuating leptin levels causing increased appetite and inflammation
4. Decreased physical activity

Recently, the FDA has finally caught up to what I’ve been saying for decades. Research now confirms that hormone replacement therapy with estrogen and progesterone can be safe.

Question to Dr. T on PEA Supplement

Question:

I tried PEA Healthy Inflammation Response and initially felt it was helpful, but then the effect seemed to plateau and didn't last. I tried multiple dosage levels, but then stopped taking it a few months ago. I'm thinking of trying again and I'm curious about any feedback you might have received from others and if you have additional advice. Thanks!!!

Answer:

The PEA supplement has been very helpful for people. But here is the key: PEA treats just one of the four key components of the pain process. And people do best when all four of these are treated. I'm currently writing a book that discusses how to do this.

For an excellent start, address these four key components of pain:

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Why are there five syllables in the word “monosyllabic”?

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

The other night I was lying in bed, looking up at the stars, and I wondered, "Where the hell is my roof?"
