I've been an RPSGT (sleep tech) for 20 years. Thank you for all this valuable information! You asked about people whose sleep apnea tests come back negative. One thing to consider is that Medicare about 10 years ago changed the definition of a hypopnea. The private insurers have slowly been following suit. So now what we see in the lab is patients with hypopneas that are continually waking them up but they do not have OSA according to the new definitions. The old definition of a hypopnea was a respiratory event followed either by an arousal or a 3% blood oxygen desaturation. The new definition of a hypopnea is a respiratory event that must be followed by a 4% desaturation, with absolutely no concern for whether it woke the patient up. Why did the definitions change? For the insurance companies to save money of course! They focused on a study by some cardiologists that said 4% desaturations are where patients become at risk for hypertension, stroke, heart attack, all that jazz. So now people only get treated for sleep apnea if it's putting them at risk cardiac wise but they could be having hypopneas with 3% desats and waking up every 30 seconds all night long but they no longer qualify for treatment of their apnea. It's a disgrace!
The beginning of this year I just received my Medicare coverage. My prescriptions are cheaper if I pay cash than to use the Medicare with top tier Supplement. I can already tell that the coverage sucks and that the tail is wagging the dog. Insurance companies practicing medicine controlling doctors and hospitals. I know your comment is 3 years old, but I had to chime in with my own disgust.
As a father of a son who has just been diagnosed with autism I cannot thank you enough. So much of this relates perfectly. I have hope and I have work to do. Thank you.
This is really helping my 2 with Autism. One is severe level 3 started vocalizing more, much more eye contact, more focus and sleeping more. We are about 1-1/2 months in now.
I was going on 3+ months of no sleep (slept 4 hrs then would wake up) . I took the test she suggests and i was below optimal on vitamin d3 but not B. It's been over 8 days and i am on my 3rd night of 7 hours of sleep. I started with the 15k iu of vitamin D as she suggests.. these past three days have been such a blessing. I cannot wait until the third month mark. I had tried over the counter sleep aids and prescription medicine for my insomnia and it provided no relief.
Which company did you use to test your Bs? ZRT? I have been fighting insomnia for 3 years! I’ve try everything, advil pm, sleepy tea…I finally got an anxiety med & that helps me fall asleep but wake up around 3 am. Ugh! I really don’t want meds! I started her D & B recommendation 2 weeks ago along with my cpap. My sleep is improving with a high dose of Melatonin. Lack of Sleep is a slow death sentence!
@@OceanLife772 I ended up going through quest diagnostics. I hear you, early this year i was really struggling. I will be going in for another test soon as we head into the winter months. Honestly with covid i have been working from home and have rarely gotten out.
@@23BronJames Hey Ernest, I am doing much better! The sleep has definitely improved. I will be testing my blood in the next month to see my levels as we head into winter.
Dr. Stasha Gominak One of the most knowledgeable and perceptive folk I have encountered in 50 years of searching for answers in complementary health care.
The fact that Dr. Gominak charges 80$ for a "sleep workbook" which literally just says to take vitamin D and B vitamins for a certain period of time is a reflection of her greediness/narcissism. There is little to no evidence for most of her "revolutionary" claims about Vitamin D and sleep and her ideas about your body needing "extra B's" are based solely on her speculation. Please avoid getting sucked into the nonsense this doctor is spouting out and buying her worthless book. Daily intense cardio, healthy diet, and normal circadian rhymn is all most people need to achieve optimal health. supplementing with Vitamin D can also be helpful, but most of the major claims she makes about it are not supported by evidence. Also, her "hibernation theory" is complete speculation and is also not supported by any evidence.
I have listened to every video featuring Stasha Gominak that I can find on UA-cam… and I have been stringing together the little pearls of wisdom that she drops in each one. I have been using the Right Sleep workbook for five months and I cannot believe how my sleep, my life, my ability to function and think has improved! My gut too - I can suddenly eat far more freely without a host of uncomfortable bloating and pain. Dr. Gominak - THANK YOU! And, as I try like a new evangelist to share your videos and the workbook - I sigh- it is so simple a plan to follow, and folks are too often so dense and unwilling to hear what may be real hope for health turnaround.
Damn MIke, I was just looking back at Dr. Gominak previous interview you did over 3 years ago. I am so happy to see her back. I just love listening to her so much knowledge and a great delivery. I've been able to improve my health and sleep. Mouth tape, D3/K2, mag supplements, animal based low carb, exercise, blue blocker glasses, regular bed time regular wake time, cold dark bedroom, etc. I will be sharing with my poor sleeping buddies.
What has stuck with me me since your amazing first interview is a referall you made about the proximity of the hypothalamus to the vagal nerve. I was born in the early 1950’s in a small village in East Africa with no upper palate at all. At the age of 18 months my parents moved back to US and I had an amazingly good palate built in a Seattle children’s Hospital. I was the first baby to receive this method of building a top palate, so it was filmed. I have had so many weird illnesses my entire life.Yes sleep problems, blocked nasal passages, weakened ability to perspire etc.And impaired immunity. Could the broken hypothalamus/vagal nerve be a strong possible cause of these odd symptoms. You are an absolute joy to listen to. It appears you love your work. Thank you.
I really appreciate all her information on the website but I'm frustrated that we can't rely on doctors to take care of us. Learning how to be healthy in this day and age is a full time job :(
You cannot hand your health and well being over to a laborer. That’s what doctors have become. They are victims of managed care. Think about it. Think about their constraints. The least if which is time. Simone Gold is an example of that. She dared to treat patients with what her actual research had taught her- and she did it successfully- she was fired from her job. (She cured Covid patients with hydroxychloroquine).
doctors to survive must convince us they are experts which might be pretty rare... so they manipulate things and maybe often make things worse than letting things just follow their own course
Well, you have to be responsible for your own health Alicia, you don't want to trust your health and well being completely over to a doctor or the government, do you? Not such a good idea. :)
I started watching your videos about a week ago. I’m now taking B complex and D3 vitamins, probiotics, and spending more time outside. I have started dreaming every night! Prior to this, I couldn’t stay asleep. 😊 Thank you! I am planning to be able to sleep through the night in a few weeks. This is great information.
Adding K2 with vitamin D will help transport calcium in the right parts in the body and shift it from the arteries 😊 Ratio: 10,000iu vit D with 100mcg K2 mk7
@Carolyn Fulton take vit d and b vit in the MORNING. That includes fish oil if you take it. Turn lights much lower an hour after sundown. No electronics/tech 2 hours prior to bed. If you can notech in the bedroom.
Make sure you never take your b complex vitamins later in the day, you won't sleep good at all. I made that mistake since i fast until 2pm and you have to take b vitamins with food
Love her! She makes so much sense and expresses difficult concepts in a way that most people understand and comprehend. Switch is turned ON or OFF but cant be both.
THANK YOU. For the first time, I have hope that my 17-year old autistic son can improve. I've always believed this in my heart and now have resources to get him there.
There has apparently been some interesting successes related to fecal transplant for autistic children in order to repair their damaged stomach intestinal flora and fauna. Perhaps look into it 🤷🏼. Good luck and God bless you and your son🙏🏻
You are a smart lady. Besides making all these connections between vitamins, the microbiome etc your open minded approach to your patients shows a lot of emotional intelligence
This is, by far, your best podcast. You show excellent interviewing skills when you allow this doctor speak freely, and listen along with us. Thanks, Mike
She is amazing! I have listened to so many of her interviews and using her systems improved my health in many ways. Yet still, it took me 6 hours to finish listening to this because I went back so often and stopped to research some of this in the context of the Australian health service (which is also pretty amazing). I also love Mike as an interviewer, possible the MOST of all the health interviewers, even the doctors, because he lets the guest get on with giving us their info without distraction or a desire for them to educate and assist him. Mike has plenty of video's where he talks direct to the camera with his knowledge if you want his stuff, but when he has a guest he lets them do their thing so beautifully.
In addition to being bonded/earthed/grounded and more of your skin being exposed to the sunlight there is also the phenomenon of the natural negative ion generators lapping at the shore. Crashing waves, waterfalls, forests in the rain, all generate massive quantities of negative ions. 🙂
@@cmanycrows8400 Hi how do i find out more about you said please.I believe more that I am in time with the earth. Hate to say esp as a female date i say being restless with sleeping with my peroid time lol .Plus also things happening i cant explain .I believe in engery of my mother and good friend i list sadly 3 years ago .
@@BlackButterFlyTongue melanopsin photoreceptor in the retina is also present in the skin. Skin is the 2nd most important surface to expose to the sun. Blue light breaks the single covalent bond that melanopsin makes with vitamin a in the retina in diurnal animals. Nocturnal animals possess a double covalent bond that doesn't react to the free electron made by blue light hitting the photoreceptor. This is such a key point in our human physiology that it makes studies with nocturnal animals unreliable. How many studies from rat and mice trials do not then belong in the realm of useful valid honest truth?
This interview is amazing!!!!! Holy moly. Dr. Stasha mentions things I’ve never heard of in regard to sleep. I’ve suffered with insomnia for 20 years. I ordered the workbook! Thank you Mike!!
@@mikew4014 - I’m still reading my way through the workout book. 😬😬 I plan on getting some of the tests she recommends . I’ll report back when I have some results to share!
Well it seems to be working for me. Now in 4th month. I have always thought I slept well - timewise - but not sure of the quality. Now dreaming a lot and remembering some of the dreams. Noticed my gut seems to be happier too. My D3 was 36 - deemed adequate in UK three months ago. Just about to test again, still on B50. Have much more energy recently.
Mike, I have watched most if not all your videos. This was one of my favorites for sure. The amount of great info in this was mind blowing to say the least! When you asked Dr Stasha a question and she said “I dont know” I gained even more respect for her. I wish years ago when I was metabolically broken my Dr said I dont know, instead of oh well, it just runs in the family, take pills. All my problems “ran in the family” until I followed people like you, Ben Bikman etc. All my issues resolved and at 42 I am in amazing shape. Thank you so much for all you do! You have no idea how many people you are changing the lives of.
Since I built a family backyard sauna, my teenage daughters are sleeping much more deeply.(we all are) They wake up refreshed. It’s been an amazing transformation.
@@eugeniebreida1583 it is a traditional wood fired sauna that you throw water on the rocks to generate steam. Its become a sanctuary for decompressing. The added benefit of all the insulation is that it is super quiet. You just hear the crackling of the fire. And music if you want it.

@@pattyb8736 Yeah,well. You have all the tools to do it. You just have to start. Online learning,so many books,internet. Programs which help people to start businesses. Or rebranch to a similar field. Good luck.
Such an amazing interview! I love that you let her speak and ask her the right questions; you're a really good interviewer. She covers so much and I'm happy she talked about the vagus nerve and HRV. I wish this was talked about more. I recently bought her book after attending a virtual conference about fatigue and sleep disorders.
Warmest Greetings from Essex England. Hello Mike, I've just found your interview with Dr.Gominak, I was blown away with the whole interview, you guys certainly hit the nail on it's head for me, I'm vegan & have been experiencing health problems - low vit B12 & D. You guys got me thinking straight again, thank you - thank you - thank you for such an informative - sincere interview. You guys in the United States are forward thinking unlike the doctors here in England. Keep up your good work, here's wishing you all a peaceful weekend. Many thanks again for all your time & energy. Take care. Congrats, Nick 🙏🌞🍀
Part 1 was where I found about Dr. Gominak (about a week ago). I have bought her book, listened to a lot of her talks, some of them multiple times, and have an appointment with her for my mother. She is extremely curious, a great teacher (she teaches you how to ask questions and think), and incredibly courageous to speak with the clarity and confidence she does despite the backlash she received from her MD community. Brilliant!
Thank you both for this superb dialogue with such an incredible treasure of health information. I will be watching this again. I relate to her frustration with inept physicians and flawed testing. I’ve personally only met two physicians with her passion to understand a physiological process and the desire to truly help their patients. This is the future of true medicine. You are both greatly appreciated for sharing your knowledge and gifts. Peace, love, and blessings!
@@mirandaweaver2898 guessing a Vitamine D supplementation, walking at least 15 min outside everyday, eating low carb and my last meal before 5pm and learning to breath with my nose with mouth tapping. Oh and I lost 130lbs so that might have helped as well 😉
@@karenlanteigne hey I have CPAP also and still lingering sleep issues too. U say u stopped eating at 5. I do that too but the. Get hungry and can’t sleep as well. U think a light snack is fine like a scoop of almond butter? Thanks much
Totally agree how adequate "good sleep" (quality not just quantity) is one of the most important, yet underrated, keys to good health. This is SUCH an important conversation - thank you for this great session!
This is so extremely important!!! This is critical information for everyone! Such an underrated watch numbers for a life-saving and life-improving knowledge!
Where are more people like this? How much would society change if everyone in the medical profession was this thoughtful. AMA just interested in keeping folks sick. Keeps the economy rolling ...
How to tell if you have a real doctor? You find one who is constantly challenging dogma that is not working, asking questions, searching for answers and results. This is a real doctor! Following her sleep protocol. First got my lifelong sub-30 D up to 68! 😳😀. Nighttime headaches have disappeared over time (8 months for D of 45 to reach 68). Now implementing the B50 protocol. Seeing some change, but now patiently observing, adjusting, and waiting for the healing. 🙏
Such an amazing doctor, I've listened to every one of her interviews. I thank God that there's someone like her in this world. Mike's comment at the end about her courage to step out of the box is spot on. I'm going to follow her recommendations, hopefully it'll bring some quality sleep and relief to all my unexplained symptoms
Wow Mike!!! I only listened one time, this is a multi-session podcast. Absolutely loved it, such valuable information, especially the perspectives on vaccines and impaired immune systems. Mike thank you so so much for the work you do!
I increased my REM from 7 minutes a night to 2 hours plus since introducing vitamin D and reducing my B complex from some really high doses my naturopath had me on. Fan freaking tactic
Glad you're back at these. Your initial conversations with Dr. Gominak was one of my favourites and was incredibly valuable. Thanks for putting this out there and thank you Dr. Gominak for the amazing information
Dr. Stasha G, you are a true professional who can make the health of a whole nation be managed better. You know your thing. Please keep it on. I can now chat with my Gp base on the intelligent seminar l received from you. Thank you
Remarkable! I just listened to your first interview with the Dr. from three years ago last night! I was truly impressed with the discussion and linked it to a bunch of friends and family. This evening I hop on to the web to look her up again only to discover that you just posted this new one today! Great timing. Thanks to both of you.
Love Dr. Gomanak. She's incredible. Thanks for having her on again. For more on D, there are a couple of great interviews with Vitamin D expert /researcher Dr. Robert Heaney who was at Creighton University. He was on this D stuff years ago, long before most. His interviews with Dr. Mercola are well worth checking out on YT.
The FDA is threatening to shut down Dr. Mercola for his promotion of Vitamin D to fight respiratory illnesses including COVID. The man is trying to save lives and our government wants to silence him. Why are they so threatened by a supplement?
Really an informative discussion. When I hear a discussion outlining this level of complexity (in a friendly manner) I'm left scratching my head when the same person says something to the effect that 'evolution made us this way". No friggin way! Like Dr. James Tour outlines in some of his talks, we have no clue how to make these systems, given the building blocks and the best labs in the world. And yet we proclaim these systems just happened on their own?? We are more than the sum of our parts.
Thank you! Thank you for this amazing information and for posting this! It's what I've been searching for and I'm so grateful for both you, Mike, and for Dr. Gominak's work. I've been sick for the past 20 years, and debilitated by anxiety and depression since my son was born 16 years ago. I've done every test, taken tons and tons of drugs (prescribed by my doctor) but nothing has ever worked. It all makes sense now. This all makes sense.
Thank you this is a wonderful video. My father has one kidney, can’t sleep at night and I can correlate so many things from this video, he doesn’t smoke cigarettes but his sister does and he visits her often.♥️🙏🏻
This explains why people can eat such different “healthy” diets and do well. Their D and biome are healthy and feeding them what they really need. I’ve been so perplexed as to why some can eat fat and be healthy, eat meat and be healthy, eat plants and be healthy yet I’ve tried all those diets and never got healthy. My D level was 7 back in 2006 look how long I’ve been crippled. Started her workbook two weeks ago and not looking back.
Yes and I think it explains why people need these 'extreme' diets to be healthy to begin with. People didn't used to get obese but eat nothing but white bread all year.
I’ve got my blood level checked and it was 69. Right in the zone! I’m getting it checked again with a different test to see if the first test is viable. The biggest improvement is not as tired and I feel like taking a walk. That’s huge for me. I have a friend though who is doing it with me and she’s had to replace her glasses her eyes improved so quickly and has noticed she’s much more stable and strong.
@@susanresig8452 Strange, I also think I'm noticing this. It's giving me motivation to start print pushing to further the good vision results. Did your friend also have nights where she could get by with 5 hours of sleep?
My gut tells me this is one of the most honest doctors I have ever seen and I thank you for that cause I’ve been threw hell with them , maybe not there fault but still hell, after 3 years and a lot of cash I finally checked my Vit d level and working on others , it’s a 22 so I started my journey … I have felt what I would say is dreaming while awake but only when I’m almost to sleep , very weird I have learned to accept these odd feelings but hoping the vit d helps me , thank you doc

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about ten years ago and began cpap therapy. Over the past several months, I have modified my diet to increase vegetables, eliminate meat and poultry and fish, and severely reduce gluten and dairy. For the first time, the frequency of apnea episodes stabilized, then it started to go down. This is not the only change I have made, but it is the most "daily" change. My osteoarthritis has also improved.
Reducing or eliminating gluten/grain products and dairy would reduce nasal inflammation… and some are allergic to various fish… Congrats on improvements. For me plenty of organic meat and mostly deep green veg serve me well - also sardines/omega 3 oils/cod livers or oil…
In the northern countries where there are many dark months, they used to eat a lot of butter, mackerel and cod liver oil. I found out recently that that's how their ancestors went through the very long winters. I have just now started to give the kids and myself cod liver oil instead of those synthetic useless supplements. We should look more into what our ancestors did where we live, like she said about being outside a lot more before we introduced a new lifestyle. Thank you to these kind of doctors who dedicate their lives to actually help people. Those useless politicians receiving millions from lobbies doing nothing for the people is just so unfair...
It’s funny how people always cite ancestors. As if humanity wasn’t evolving in knowledge. Just a few generations ago, folks were lucky to live to be 60.
For me, cod liver oil from pure, cold ocean waters, that actually come from a cod's liver is preferable to "fish oil" from what and where? I also use cold pressed hemp oil as a supplement, sometimes as part of a salad dressing, sometime just straight off the spoon. Good stuff in there too.
@@Katsem There are no pure ocean waters anywhere despite what they may claim on their labels to sell product. Everything is polluted..please be AWARE OF COD LIVER OILS..as they have killed people b/c they can be pretty rancid!
Cod liver oil is great - make sure it is prepared in a non-destructive way. BTW cod liver oil is made from the liver of cod. Fish oil is from the skin of fish- Two completely different things, do not get confused.
This is foundational information. I took copious notes 3 years ago and I did this time too. It is difficult to know who to go to next for more digging on sleep and the microbiome. I was listening to the video and hit pause to ask my friend if any of her kids had ADD and did they smoke? She said yes, 3 of them. And they all can't sleep. That kind of blew me away. Immediate validation. Keep up the good work. The comments are also extremely good and help open up avenues of thought. Thank you.
How does a pediatrician not see the low levels of D in the mom ? That seems like detail that that shouldn’t be missed. I love this interview. Fascinating information. I work as a sleep expert for 10 years so info I have been sharing with my clients. Love you both great work.
I yield to the more informed physician here. Magnificent summary and evidence-based venture into the physiological realm of the body and the 'sun' vitamin. Bravo.
Can you tie in B1 deficiency? I don't hear mention of it but its key player in cell energy production and hormone synthesis. Collaboration with Elliott Overton of EO Nutrition? Gratitude for your work!
At the same time, she did say it is up to the individual, which is way more responsible than any of the faux specialists out there. Thank you for your professionalism and research.
My sleep went right out the window with hormonal changes.... big time. I went on HRT recently , sleep did improved, then I got a brutal UTI I was placed on multiple ABs took about 3 weeks to clear up. My sleep is terrible again, and my anxiety and depression is horrible. Now I’m on a mission to sleep and to heal, it’s a battle
Good luck! Dont forget exercise and trying to take time to get lost in a thing... like a flow state. Also getting somewhere you can see the horizon. I think these things have a massive psychological impact on how the brain is wired.
@@stevenrapa4014 Thanks.... I’m much improved now, it took some work though.... I went into major healing mode....stricter with my diet, meditation/prayer, gentle activities being in nature etc, yeah- still some work but much improved from a month ago❤️
After antibiotics they say it trashes our microbiome .Which will trash our sleep .So have to take the proper probiotics to return a balance to our microbiome .Can be difficult to know the correct balance of them .Heard of a study where they compared healthy people's microbiome to unhealthy people's microbiome .To see what the unhealthy were missing .Better to try to replace them than to not replace them at all .
I saw Dr Gominek a few years ago. I would Really like to see her again. A lot of things have changed since then and might make a whole lot more sense now.
I’m blown away! Wow! And Mike is so good at letting his guests speak and not interrupting them unnecessarily! Love it! Thank you Mike 🙏
I've been an RPSGT (sleep tech) for 20 years. Thank you for all this valuable information! You asked about people whose sleep apnea tests come back negative. One thing to consider is that Medicare about 10 years ago changed the definition of a hypopnea. The private insurers have slowly been following suit. So now what we see in the lab is patients with hypopneas that are continually waking them up but they do not have OSA according to the new definitions. The old definition of a hypopnea was a respiratory event followed either by an arousal or a 3% blood oxygen desaturation. The new definition of a hypopnea is a respiratory event that must be followed by a 4% desaturation, with absolutely no concern for whether it woke the patient up. Why did the definitions change? For the insurance companies to save money of course! They focused on a study by some cardiologists that said 4% desaturations are where patients become at risk for hypertension, stroke, heart attack, all that jazz. So now people only get treated for sleep apnea if it's putting them at risk cardiac wise but they could be having hypopneas with 3% desats and waking up every 30 seconds all night long but they no longer qualify for treatment of their apnea. It's a disgrace!

What kind and dose of mag?

What has stuck with me me since your amazing first interview is a referall you made about the proximity of the hypothalamus to the vagal nerve. I was born in the early 1950’s in a small village in East Africa with no upper palate at all. At the age of 18 months my parents moved back to US and I had an amazingly good palate built in a Seattle children’s Hospital. I was the first baby to receive this method of building a top palate, so it was filmed. I have had so many weird illnesses my entire life.Yes sleep problems, blocked nasal passages, weakened ability to perspire etc.And impaired immunity. Could the broken hypothalamus/vagal nerve be a strong possible cause of these odd symptoms. You are an absolute joy to listen to. It appears you love your work. Thank you.
What first interview?
@@eerbatsirk there is a link under the video
I don’t perspire either.
@Aunty414 look into mewing and orthotropics. Explains all your problems.
I really appreciate all her information on the website but I'm frustrated that we can't rely on doctors to take care of us. Learning how to be healthy in this day and age is a full time job :(
You cannot hand your health and well being over to a laborer. That’s what doctors have become. They are victims of managed care. Think about it. Think about their constraints. The least if which is time. Simone Gold is an example of that. She dared to treat patients with what her actual research had taught her- and she did it successfully- she was fired from her job. (She cured Covid patients with hydroxychloroquine).
doctors to survive must convince us they are experts which might be pretty rare... so they manipulate things and maybe often make things worse than letting things just follow their own course
Well, you have to be responsible for your own health Alicia, you don't want to trust your health and well being completely over to a doctor or the government, do you? Not such a good idea. :)
Natural universal health care is free and it starts with sunshine, but also avoiding fake sunlight especially after dark.
yes!
I started watching your videos about a week ago. I’m now taking B complex and D3 vitamins, probiotics, and spending more time outside. I have started dreaming every night! Prior to this, I couldn’t stay asleep. 😊 Thank you! I am planning to be able to sleep through the night in a few weeks. This is great information.
Adding K2 with vitamin D will help transport calcium in the right parts in the body and shift it from the arteries 😊
Ratio: 10,000iu vit D with 100mcg K2 mk7
@Carolyn Fulton take vit d and b vit in the MORNING. That includes fish oil if you take it. Turn lights much lower an hour after sundown. No electronics/tech 2 hours prior to bed. If you can notech in the bedroom.
Make sure you never take your b complex vitamins later in the day, you won't sleep good at all. I made that mistake since i fast until 2pm and you have to take b vitamins with food
@@overcomer4226 how come in the morning for vitamin D?
@@kerryallen4665 great question... I’ve always read to take it after dinner as it helps with sleep since Vitamin D is a hormone.
Dr. Gominak is not only brilliant but gracious and a gifted communicator. I am reviewing her website with intense interest as a scientist.
Love her! She makes so much sense and expresses difficult concepts in a way that most people understand and comprehend. Switch is turned ON or OFF but cant be both.
Hi man, just listened to it on Spotify while walking and it’s mind blowing. Impossible not to share it. What an episode
Seriously!!! 🤯
THANK YOU. For the first time, I have hope that my 17-year old autistic son can improve. I've always believed this in my heart and now have resources to get him there.
Take good care of his diet and he will improve for sure...keep junk sugar and grains at bay...fats and vit and minerals ....
There has apparently been some interesting successes related to fecal transplant for autistic children in order to repair their damaged stomach intestinal flora and fauna. Perhaps look into it 🤷🏼. Good luck and God bless you and your son🙏🏻
@@cosmichealth3907 Thanks so much for the tips...removing all sugar is still challenging but we r getting there.
@@cmanycrows8400 Thanks so much for the suggestion and your kind words. May God bless you.
@@arwenhardy1995 these are not tips...this is reality...I hope everything gets well for..if u still have problems just write to me
You are a smart lady. Besides making all these connections between vitamins, the microbiome etc your open minded approach to your patients shows a lot of emotional intelligence
This is one of the most important concepts in modern day health and wellness. Dr. Gominak is compelling! Her information changed, and saved my life.
This is, by far, your best podcast. You show excellent interviewing skills when you allow this doctor speak freely, and listen along with us. Thanks, Mike
I love Dr Gominak. She is brilliant and I am seeing huge improvements in my 2 Autistic boys.
She is amazing! I have listened to so many of her interviews and using her systems improved my health in many ways. Yet still, it took me 6 hours to finish listening to this because I went back so often and stopped to research some of this in the context of the Australian health service (which is also pretty amazing). I also love Mike as an interviewer, possible the MOST of all the health interviewers, even the doctors, because he lets the guest get on with giving us their info without distraction or a desire for them to educate and assist him. Mike has plenty of video's where he talks direct to the camera with his knowledge if you want his stuff, but when he has a guest he lets them do their thing so beautifully.
going to the beach always knocks me out sleeping like a baby. convinced it has to do with the UVB in the sun and the grounding effect of the sand.
This interests me as when I went to the coast in the summer for the day .That nite I had the best sleep.
In addition to being bonded/earthed/grounded and more of your skin being exposed to the sunlight there is also the phenomenon of the natural negative ion generators lapping at the shore. Crashing waves, waterfalls, forests in the rain, all generate massive quantities of negative ions. 🙂
I find being in water and sun helps me to be tired and rest better that night.
We are the same
@@cmanycrows8400 Hi how do i find out more about you said please.I believe more that I am in time with the earth. Hate to say esp as a female date i say being restless with sleeping with my peroid time lol .Plus also things happening i cant explain .I believe in engery of my mother and good friend i list sadly 3 years ago .
When I’m out in the sun for at least 20-30min, I notice better sleep. Thank you sir 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The sun hits the retina, which is important to activate sleep wake cycles, hence the importance of vitamin A, also.
@@antoniospanayiotou8619 😂, I was saying thanks to Metabolic Mike!
@@jrstar805 oops!
Sunlight makes melatonin. Melatonin makes sleep and drives regeneration after dark. Blue light And cortisol destroys melatonin.
@@BlackButterFlyTongue melanopsin photoreceptor in the retina is also present in the skin. Skin is the 2nd most important surface to expose to the sun. Blue light breaks the single covalent bond that melanopsin makes with vitamin a in the retina in diurnal animals. Nocturnal animals possess a double covalent bond that doesn't react to the free electron made by blue light hitting the photoreceptor. This is such a key point in our human physiology that it makes studies with nocturnal animals unreliable. How many studies from rat and mice trials do not then belong in the realm of useful valid honest truth?
This interview is amazing!!!!! Holy moly. Dr. Stasha mentions things I’ve never heard of in regard to sleep. I’ve suffered with insomnia for 20 years. I ordered the workbook! Thank you Mike!!
@Becca - So has it helped?
@@mikew4014 - I’m still reading my way through the workout book. 😬😬 I plan on getting some of the tests she recommends . I’ll report back when I have some results to share!
Well it seems to be working for me. Now in 4th month. I have always thought I slept well - timewise - but not sure of the quality. Now dreaming a lot and remembering some of the dreams. Noticed my gut seems to be happier too. My D3 was 36 - deemed adequate in UK three months ago. Just about to test again, still on B50. Have much more energy recently.
@@BeccaD70 are you the wife of Greg Doucette?
@@macknumber9 No my husband’s name is Bob. ☺️
The doctor we all wish was our own personal doctor...wow🙌🏽💞
Mike, I have watched most if not all your videos. This was one of my favorites for sure. The amount of great info in this was mind blowing to say the least! When you asked Dr Stasha a question and she said “I dont know” I gained even more respect for her. I wish years ago when I was metabolically broken my Dr said I dont know, instead of oh well, it just runs in the family, take pills. All my problems “ran in the family” until I followed people like you, Ben Bikman etc. All my issues resolved and at 42 I am in amazing shape. Thank you so much for all you do! You have no idea how many people you are changing the lives of.
Thanks for that, Jeff!
Is there a coupon code for the workbook?
Love Dr. Stasha Gominiak
Since I built a family backyard sauna, my teenage daughters are sleeping much more deeply.(we all are) They wake up refreshed. It’s been an amazing transformation.
Did you have a supplier or build it yourself? I would love to get a sauna too, for its amazing health benefits.
A steam sauna or infra-red, or -?
@@eugeniebreida1583 it is a traditional wood fired sauna that you throw water on the rocks to generate steam. Its become a sanctuary for decompressing. The added benefit of all the insulation is that it is super quiet. You just hear the crackling of the fire. And music if you want it.
@@TheoSmith249 Thank you… indeed that sounds very relaxing and restorative - and wood fires ARE supplying infrared radiation as well …
But just the ritual, heat, quiet, stillness…all good!
Thanks for answering my question…
@@TheoSmith249 What sort of cost are we talking? I have thought about building one.
I’m a teacher. I so wish I could talk to parents about nutrition, especially with behavior issues whether related to the autism spectrum or not.

@@valentina47734 , what do mean? Can you explain what you’re thinking?

@@valentina47734 , thank you! Wow. That is ambitious. I wonder, hmmm . . .
@@pattyb8736 Yeah,well. You have all the tools to do it. You just have to start. Online learning,so many books,internet. Programs which help people to start businesses. Or rebranch to a similar field. Good luck.
I love Dr Gominak! She is onto something so big! I consulted with her and she is super smart.
Such an amazing interview! I love that you let her speak and ask her the right questions; you're a really good interviewer. She covers so much and I'm happy she talked about the vagus nerve and HRV. I wish this was talked about more. I recently bought her book after attending a virtual conference about fatigue and sleep disorders.
Warmest Greetings from Essex England. Hello Mike, I've just found your interview with Dr.Gominak, I was blown away with the whole interview, you guys certainly hit the nail on it's head for me, I'm vegan & have been experiencing health problems - low vit B12 & D. You guys got me thinking straight again, thank you - thank you - thank you for such an informative - sincere interview. You guys in the United States are forward thinking unlike the doctors here in England. Keep up your good work, here's wishing you all a peaceful weekend. Many thanks again for all your time & energy. Take care. Congrats, Nick 🙏🌞🍀
Thank you for bringing this guest, she is truly remarkable ❤
Part 1 was where I found about Dr. Gominak (about a week ago). I have bought her book, listened to a lot of her talks, some of them multiple times, and have an appointment with her for my mother. She is extremely curious, a great teacher (she teaches you how to ask questions and think), and incredibly courageous to speak with the clarity and confidence she does despite the backlash she received from her MD community. Brilliant!
Your mother is blessed to be going to her. I wish I lived close enough to go see Dr Gominak.!!
@@buckie48192 my mother lives in India! She has online appointments available.
@@anujam2951 How was your experience with her book?
Thank you both for this superb dialogue with such an incredible treasure of health information. I will be watching this again. I relate to her frustration with inept physicians and flawed testing.
I’ve personally only met two physicians with her passion to understand a physiological process and the desire to truly help their patients.
This is the future of true medicine.
You are both greatly appreciated for sharing your knowledge and gifts.
Peace, love, and blessings!
Dr. Gominak got me off my CPAP!!! Because of the interview you had with her. Thank you for bringing her back Mike.
How did you get off CPAP?
@@mirandaweaver2898 guessing a Vitamine D supplementation, walking at least 15 min outside everyday, eating low carb and my last meal before 5pm and learning to breath with my nose with mouth tapping. Oh and I lost 130lbs so that might have helped as well 😉
@@karenlanteigne thank you!
@@karenlanteigne hey I have CPAP also and still lingering sleep issues too. U say u stopped eating at 5. I do that too but the. Get hungry and can’t sleep as well. U think a light snack is fine like a scoop of almond butter? Thanks much
So,you lost 130# ??? Congratulations! Your morbid obesity was causing your apnea. This video had nothing to do with it.
Totally agree how adequate "good sleep" (quality not just quantity) is one of the most important, yet underrated, keys to good health. This is SUCH an important conversation - thank you for this great session!
This woman helped me dramatically improve my life 😊
The first Stasha interview was my intro to this podcast years ago. I'm excited for this one!
This is so extremely important!!! This is critical information for everyone! Such an underrated watch numbers for a life-saving and life-improving knowledge!
I was waiting for Gominak’s return!! Awesome. So helpful. Thanks
It really does take courage to do what she does.. Way ahead of her time on all this. Thanks so much for the interview!
I have followed Dr. Gominak for so long! Thank you so much for doing another interview with her Mike!!!!
Thanks, Kathy
@@Highintensityhealth I want notified. I'll be holding a grudge against youtube for this. Lol
One of the most useful interviews I’ve ever seen.
Where are more people like this? How much would society change if everyone in the medical profession was this thoughtful. AMA just interested in keeping folks sick. Keeps the economy rolling ...
How to tell if you have a real doctor? You find one who is constantly challenging dogma that is not working, asking questions, searching for answers and results. This is a real doctor!
Following her sleep protocol. First got my lifelong sub-30 D up to 68! 😳😀. Nighttime headaches have disappeared over time (8 months for D of 45 to reach 68). Now implementing the B50 protocol. Seeing some change, but now patiently observing, adjusting, and waiting for the healing. 🙏
Such an amazing doctor, I've listened to every one of her interviews. I thank God that there's someone like her in this world. Mike's comment at the end about her courage to step out of the box is spot on. I'm going to follow her recommendations, hopefully it'll bring some quality sleep and relief to all my unexplained symptoms
Wow Mike!!! I only listened one time, this is a multi-session podcast. Absolutely loved it, such valuable information, especially the perspectives on vaccines and impaired immune systems. Mike thank you so so much for the work you do!
Thank you Mike and Dr Stasha Gominak , this is one of the most eye opening interviews I have seen. Absolutly Fascinating!
I increased my REM from 7 minutes a night to 2 hours plus since introducing vitamin D and reducing my B complex from some really high doses my naturopath had me on. Fan freaking tactic
How much D you took?
Glad you're back at these. Your initial conversations with Dr. Gominak was one of my favourites and was incredibly valuable. Thanks for putting this out there and thank you Dr. Gominak for the amazing information
WOW! this is one of your best interviews up to now. Totally blew my mind! THANK YOU
Wonderful. Thank you so much. Insomnia for 10 years which has left me with severe migraines. I’m falling apart. Needed this.
@Lori Scott
Can you tell me what your routine was. I cannot afford to buy her book.
Yes. You brought her back on. Learned so much from her last time.
Dr. Stasha G, you are a true professional who can make the health of a whole nation be managed better. You know your thing. Please keep it on. I can now chat with my Gp base on the intelligent seminar l received from you. Thank you
This has got to be the greatest video I've watched in years. SOoooooooooooo much information and ah ha moments! WOW!
Remarkable! I just listened to your first interview with the Dr. from three years ago last night! I was truly impressed with the discussion and linked it to a bunch of friends and family. This evening I hop on to the web to look her up again only to discover that you just posted this new one today! Great timing. Thanks to both of you.
Fantastic interview. Wonderful overview on how to get our immune systems in order. Big thanks,
Love Dr. Gomanak. She's incredible. Thanks for having her on again. For more on D, there are a couple of great interviews with Vitamin D expert /researcher Dr. Robert Heaney who was at Creighton University. He was on this D stuff years ago, long before most. His interviews with Dr. Mercola are well worth checking out on YT.
The FDA is threatening to shut down Dr. Mercola for his promotion of Vitamin D to fight respiratory illnesses including COVID. The man is trying to save lives and our government wants to silence him. Why are they so threatened by a supplement?
Really an informative discussion. When I hear a discussion outlining this level of complexity (in a friendly manner) I'm left scratching my head when the same person says something to the effect that 'evolution made us this way". No friggin way! Like Dr. James Tour outlines in some of his talks, we have no clue how to make these systems, given the building blocks and the best labs in the world. And yet we proclaim these systems just happened on their own?? We are more than the sum of our parts.
This woman is a genius.
M watching this 2024...oh wow.. she is...
I think i have listened to this one about 4 times. It is so good.
Thank you! Thank you for this amazing information and for posting this! It's what I've been searching for and I'm so grateful for both you, Mike, and for Dr. Gominak's work. I've been sick for the past 20 years, and debilitated by anxiety and depression since my son was born 16 years ago. I've done every test, taken tons and tons of drugs (prescribed by my doctor) but nothing has ever worked. It all makes sense now. This all makes sense.
She is awesome, the first interview helped me connect a lot of concepts that at the time where new to me.
Thank you this is a wonderful video. My father has one kidney, can’t sleep at night and I can correlate so many things from this video, he doesn’t smoke cigarettes but his sister does and he visits her often.♥️🙏🏻
Talk about perfect timing... I just found the first part yesterday. Definitely looking forward to hearing this one too :)
thanks Mike, this was a really good interview, with tons of great info!
This explains why people can eat such different “healthy” diets and do well. Their D and biome are healthy and feeding them what they really need. I’ve been so perplexed as to why some can eat fat and be healthy, eat meat and be healthy, eat plants and be healthy yet I’ve tried all those diets and never got healthy. My D level was 7 back in 2006 look how long I’ve been crippled. Started her workbook two weeks ago and not looking back.
Yes and I think it explains why people need these 'extreme' diets to be healthy to begin with. People didn't used to get obese but eat nothing but white bread all year.
How are you finding it?
Yeah, how's it going?
I found her about a year ago, her protocols have done wonders for me.
I’ve got my blood level checked and it was 69. Right in the zone! I’m getting it checked again with a different test to see if the first test is viable. The biggest improvement is not as tired and I feel like taking a walk. That’s huge for me. I have a friend though who is doing it with me and she’s had to replace her glasses her eyes improved so quickly and has noticed she’s much more stable and strong.
@@susanresig8452 Strange, I also think I'm noticing this. It's giving me motivation to start print pushing to further the good vision results.
Did your friend also have nights where she could get by with 5 hours of sleep?
My gut tells me this is one of the most honest doctors I have ever seen and I thank you for that cause I’ve been threw hell with them , maybe not there fault but still hell, after 3 years and a lot of cash I finally checked my Vit d level and working on others , it’s a 22 so I started my journey … I have felt what I would say is dreaming while awake but only when I’m almost to sleep , very weird I have learned to accept these odd feelings but hoping the vit d helps me , thank you doc
Absolutely love this doctor! Great show, Mike!
So good to have a real doctor/researcher with accurate helpful information explain what’s going on.
Insomnia: Starting a 2-hour video on sleeping issues at 3.30 a.m...no hope of sleeping tonight. I hope is worth it.
😂 Me too...
Same here... hopes it helps me get back on track to fall sleep.
Learn TM.org. Then meditate for 5-10 minutes (Other than the normally instructed 15 to 20 minutes twice daily of TM) at the opposite time of day that you woke up during the night the day before. It always breaks that pattern and repairs the cycle! You may need to repeat it for a couple of days. Set your timer for five minutes before that a.m. or p.m. time that you need to meditate, so you don’t forget relief to do it. It’s a great relief!!

whoa. this woman is brilliant. dropping so much interconnected, incredibly relevant knowledge. amazing interview!!
I feel like most of this podcast could be superimposed onto migraines. Since I have the sleep disorder too, I guess I should watch it again. Thanks!
Much thanks Dr. Gominak and Mike.
Awesome interview! Dr. Gominak is such a good speaker
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about ten years ago and began cpap therapy. Over the past several months, I have modified my diet to increase vegetables, eliminate meat and poultry and fish, and severely reduce gluten and dairy. For the first time, the frequency of apnea episodes stabilized, then it started to go down. This is not the only change I have made, but it is the most "daily" change. My osteoarthritis has also improved.
You need some kind of meat in your diet.
No meat no b vitamins, try paleo or blood type diet
Reducing or eliminating gluten/grain products and dairy would reduce nasal inflammation… and some are allergic to various fish… Congrats on improvements. For me plenty of organic meat and mostly deep green veg serve me well - also sardines/omega 3 oils/cod livers or oil…
Why does young Sally Jesse Rafael know so much about the gut and sleep? She’s brilliant.
🤣🤣
Lol!
Nice
😂
Yeah, no kidding I thought the samething. She even has the same voice. I doubt she is unaware with her red framed glasses.
Great video as always Mike! You’re the Joe Rogan of Functional Medicine!
In the northern countries where there are many dark months, they used to eat a lot of butter, mackerel and cod liver oil. I found out recently that that's how their ancestors went through the very long winters. I have just now started to give the kids and myself cod liver oil instead of those synthetic useless supplements. We should look more into what our ancestors did where we live, like she said about being outside a lot more before we introduced a new lifestyle. Thank you to these kind of doctors who dedicate their lives to actually help people. Those useless politicians receiving millions from lobbies doing nothing for the people is just so unfair...
It’s funny how people always cite ancestors. As if humanity wasn’t evolving in knowledge. Just a few generations ago, folks were lucky to live to be 60.
Shanti, you are oh so right! Poor things did not have the AMA to keep them broke while they sort of lived for another 15 years or so.
For me, cod liver oil from pure, cold ocean waters, that actually come from a cod's liver is preferable to "fish oil" from what and where? I also use cold pressed hemp oil as a supplement, sometimes as part of a salad dressing, sometime just straight off the spoon. Good stuff in there too.
@@Katsem There are no pure ocean waters anywhere despite what they may claim on their labels to sell product. Everything is polluted..please be AWARE OF COD LIVER OILS..as they have killed people b/c they can be pretty rancid!
Cod liver oil is great - make sure it is prepared in a non-destructive way.
BTW cod liver oil is made from the liver of cod. Fish oil is from the skin of fish- Two completely different things, do not get confused.
This is foundational information. I took copious notes 3 years ago and I did this time too. It is difficult to know who to go to next for more digging on sleep and the microbiome. I was listening to the video and hit pause to ask my friend if any of her kids had ADD and did they smoke? She said yes, 3 of them. And they all can't sleep. That kind of blew me away. Immediate validation. Keep up the good work. The comments are also extremely good and help open up avenues of thought. Thank you.
Can’t thank you enough for this interview.
I can listen to dr. Gominak all day long.
She makes complicated information easy to understand! Thank you so much.
Excellent interview! Just bought the sleep workbook. Much appreciation for Mike and Dr. Gominak!
incredible stuff! a lot to take in. will have to watch more than once!
Thank you Doctor for sharing IAM really impressed being a retired nurse
How does a pediatrician not see the low levels of D in the mom ? That seems like detail that that shouldn’t be missed. I love this interview. Fascinating information. I work as a sleep expert for 10 years so info I have been sharing with my clients. Love you both great work.
I yield to the more informed physician here. Magnificent summary and evidence-based venture into the physiological realm of the body and the 'sun' vitamin. Bravo.
HALLELUJAH!!
WHAT AMAZING INFORMATION!!
SO H-A-P-P-Y I decided to watch,listen & LEARN!!
THANKS Dr.Gomaneck & Mike!
She is amazing! Great valuable information. Very well explained. She is a wonderful speaker.
Agree. Thanks for tuning in
Yes.. I loved the last time you had her on mike!! So smart
Can you tie in B1 deficiency? I don't hear mention of it but its key player in cell energy production and hormone synthesis. Collaboration with Elliott Overton of EO Nutrition? Gratitude for your work!
She says you shouldn't take individual B's, but to take a B complex
This is absolutely amazing work. It is so valuable. I love her! Thank you for having her on your channel.
Wow. I could listen to this lady all day. Impressive.
GREAT content. She's brilliant.
At the same time, she did say it is up to the individual, which is way more responsible than any of the faux specialists out there. Thank you for your professionalism and research.
Thank you Mike! Going to get that workbook.
The workbook was pricey, I passed.
I watched this 4 times already.. SO DEEP
My sleep went right out the window with hormonal changes.... big time. I went on HRT recently , sleep did improved, then I got a brutal UTI I was placed on multiple ABs took about 3 weeks to clear up. My sleep is terrible again, and my anxiety and depression is horrible. Now I’m on a mission to sleep and to heal, it’s a battle
Good luck!
Dont forget exercise and trying to take time to get lost in a thing... like a flow state.
Also getting somewhere you can see the horizon.
I think these things have a massive psychological impact on how the brain is wired.
@@stevenrapa4014 Thanks.... I’m much improved now, it took some work though.... I went into major healing mode....stricter with my diet, meditation/prayer, gentle activities being in nature etc, yeah- still some work but much improved from a month ago❤️
After antibiotics they say it trashes our microbiome .Which will trash our sleep .So have to take the proper probiotics to return a balance to our microbiome .Can be difficult to know the correct balance of them .Heard of a study where they compared healthy people's microbiome to unhealthy people's microbiome .To see what the unhealthy were missing .Better to try to replace them than to not replace them at all .
@@thereselarfield7177 i hope you are in much better place now
What are you doing to improve sleep?
I saw Dr Gominek a few years ago. I would Really like to see her again. A lot of things have changed since then and might make a whole lot more sense now.
