I’m no stranger to the miseries of insomnia. I remember dreading going to bed because I knew my mind would spin like a cotton candy machine in my head. But I learned how to get the quality sleep needed to stay healthy, avoid belly fat, prevent disease and feel your best with all the energy you need to keep doing all the great things you do.

A Sleep-Friendly Recipe: The Sweet Dreams Bowl

Food as sleep medicine

Food really can be sleep medicine. This is one of my favorite evening meals. It’s simple, satisfying, and built around ingredients your body can actually use to sleep better.

Why it works:

  • Tart cherry juice: one of the few natural food sources of melatonin

  • Pumpkin seeds & quinoa: rich in magnesium, which helps your body relax

  • Chickpeas: high in tryptophan, which your brain converts to serotonin and melatonin
