In Part 2 of our Sleep Series, Dr. Terry and Lisa explore why sleep isn't just about getting more hours—it's about understanding what your body is trying to tell you.

From stress hormones and blood sugar swings to nervous system health, inflammation, spinal alignment, and metabolic function, you'll discover why poor sleep is often a symptom rather than the real problem.

In this episode, you'll learn:
* Why being overtired can actually make sleep worse
* What waking between 2:00–4:00 AM may be telling you
* How your metabolism and sleep quality affect each other
* Dr. Terry's favorite sleep positions for spinal health
* Natural strategies to help your body relax and recover
* Simple habits that can dramatically improve your sleep—starting tonight

Most importantly, we discuss one question we believe everyone should ask:
Instead of "How do I fix my sleep?" ask, "Why is my body struggling to sleep in the first place?"

If you're ready to stop chasing symptoms and start discovering the root cause, this episode is for you.
