Better Sleep Test Results

Sleep is more than rest — it’s the body’s nightly reset button, restoring energy, repairing tissues, balancing hormones, and clearing the brain of waste. This bioenergetic add-on reveals which sleep-related stressors are resonating most strongly for your body at this moment. These aren’t diagnoses, but patterns of stress, helping you connect the dots between what is impacting your best rest.

Below, are your results highlighting the highest resonating priorities in relation to your sleep health.

You tested with an imbalance in: Melatonin

→ What it is: The hormone made by your pineal gland that signals your body it’s time to sleep. It is released in response to darkness and suppressed by light, acting as your body’s “internal clock.” Melatonin helps regulate sleep-wake cycles, immune function, and even antioxidant defenses in the brain.

→ When melatonin is stressed, your circadian rhythm is disrupted. This can mean trouble falling asleep, waking often through the night, or feeling groggy and unrested in the morning. Imbalances can be triggered by too much screen time before bed, chronic stress, inflammation, or lack of natural light exposure during the day. Over time, low melatonin can leave you more vulnerable to poor immune function, mood swings, and accelerated aging.

→ Lifestyle hacks: Dim lights and reduce blue light exposure 1–2 hours before bed. Eat tryptophan-rich foods (turkey, pumpkin seeds, oats) that help your body naturally make melatonin. Keep consistent bed and wake times to anchor your rhythm. Get 10–15 minutes of morning sunlight to “reset” your internal clock daily.

You tested with an imbalance in: GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)

→ What it is: A calming neurotransmitter that works like the brain’s brake pedal. It slows down nervous system activity, helping you relax into deep sleep and preventing a racing mind at bedtime. GABA is key for shutting down stress signals and promoting restorative stages of sleep.

→ Low GABA activity often shows up as the classic “wired but tired” feeling — your body is exhausted but your brain won’t stop looping thoughts. This can be worsened by chronic stress, exposure to toxins, or gut imbalances, since much of your GABA is produced in the gut. Over time, low GABA may contribute to anxiety, insomnia, and heightened sensitivity to stress.

→ Lifestyle hacks: Practice slow breathing, yoga, or meditation, which naturally increase GABA activity. Add magnesium-rich foods (leafy greens, nuts, seeds) to support GABA receptors. Reduce caffeine and alcohol, which interfere with GABA function. Support gut health with prebiotics and probiotics, since a healthy microbiome promotes natural GABA production.

You tested with an imbalance in: Cortisol

→ What it is: Your main stress hormone, produced by the adrenal glands. It follows a daily rhythm: rising in the morning to give you energy and falling at night to allow sleep. Cortisol also regulates blood sugar, metabolism, and immune function.

→ When cortisol is too high in the evening, it blocks melatonin and makes sleep feel impossible — causing tossing, turning, or waking between 2–4 AM. When it’s too low in the morning, you may feel groggy, unmotivated, or dependent on caffeine. This pattern reflects adrenal stress and poor regulation of the body’s stress–sleep cycle. Long-term imbalance can lead to fatigue, belly weight gain, brain fog, and lower resilience.

→ Lifestyle hacks: Avoid screens and stimulating activity late at night. Swap evening high-intensity workouts for gentle yoga or stretching. Use calming rituals like herbal tea (chamomile, lemon balm) or journaling before bed. Keep blood sugar balanced during the day with protein and healthy fats to prevent night cortisol spikes. Anchor your sleep with a consistent bedtime routine.

You tested with an imbalance in: Histamine

→ What it is: A chemical messenger involved in immune defense, digestion, and wakefulness. In the brain, histamine acts as a “stay awake” signal, helping you feel alert during the day. Normally, it is broken down by the enzyme DAO (diamine oxidase).

→ When histamine is high at night, it overstimulates the brain and nervous system. This may look like restless sleep, frequent waking, night sweats, or difficulty falling back asleep. People sensitive to histamine often also experience food reactions, allergies, or headaches. Since DAO is made in the gut, poor gut health can worsen histamine-driven insomnia.

→ Lifestyle hacks: Eat fresh foods and avoid high-histamine foods in the evening (fermented, aged, processed foods, wine, leftovers). Support DAO with vitamin C (citrus, bell peppers), vitamin B6 (chickpeas, chicken), and copper (nuts, mushrooms, seeds). Keep your sleep space cool — heat raises histamine activity. Strengthen gut health with fiber and fermented foods to naturally boost DAO.

You tested with an imbalance in your: Pineal Gland

→ What it is: A pea-sized gland deep in the brain that acts as your “master clock.” It controls melatonin release and synchronizes circadian rhythms with light-dark cycles. The pineal gland is also considered a spiritual center in many traditions, connecting inner rhythms with the outside world.

→ Stress in the pineal gland suggests that your body is struggling to sync with natural rhythms. This can show up as insomnia, irregular sleep patterns, waking unrefreshed, or feeling disconnected from natural energy cycles. Disruption often comes from light exposure at night, EMFs, chronic stress, or toxic buildup like fluoride and heavy metals.

→ Lifestyle hacks: Anchor your circadian rhythm with 10–15 minutes of natural sunlight each morning. Create a dark, cool, quiet sleep space to allow melatonin release. Avoid screens and EMF exposure in the evening (use airplane mode, unplug WiFi overnight). Consider grounding practices like meditation or breathwork, which calm the pineal gland and help restore its rhythm.

Client Summary & Next Steps

Your scan shows a web of sleep-related connections: melatonin signaling disrupted, GABA and cortisol creating “wired and tired” cycles, histamine overstimulating wakefulness, and pineal gland stress disturbing your circadian rhythm. Together, these explain restless nights, poor recovery, or difficulty waking refreshed. To support balance:

1. Begin your custom-tested regimen – the remedies below are personalized to target the exact imbalances your body resonates with. This includes a personalized formula that is blended with each signature you resonated with above.

2. Layer in the lifestyle hacks from each section. These amplify the effects of your remedies and help reset your sleep-wake cycle.

3. Test again in 30–60 days. This allows you to track progress, adjust your regimen, and keep your sleep system in sync.

By following this rhythm: scan, support, retest — the goal is to restore deeper, more restorative sleep so you wake with clarity, resilience, and energy.
