The circadian rhythm is the body’s natural, 24 hour internal clock that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. It is triggered by cues from the environment, such as sunrise, sunset, movement and food intake, in order to optimize function in accordance with the time of day e.g feeling more energetic in the morning and more relaxed at night. ⁣
⁣
The circadian rhythm can be disrupted by modern lifestyle, which is less in sync with nature’s cues compared to in the past. Stress, irregular work hours and eating patterns, irregular physical activity, lack of natural light in the day and exposure to artificial lighting after dark, disrupts this rhythm and makes it difficult to function at our best and sleep well. ⁣
⁣
Some ways to support the circadian rhythm to improve sleep include:⁣
⁣
𝑩𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 30 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 – this will trigger the start of the daily rhythm that will cue alertness during the day and sleep at night⁣
⁣
𝑬𝒂𝒕 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏-𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕 – this boosts blood sugar after the overnight fast (ideally at least a 12-hour gap since last eating). This provides the body with the energy it needs to use throughout day, to help feel sleepy at night ⁣
⁣
𝑨𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒅 𝒔𝒏𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 – ideally finish eating at least 3-4 hours before sleep, when digestion is functioning optimally, so the body can focus on rest and repair⁣
⁣
𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 – exercise promotes alertness, and exerts the energy needed to feel sleepy at night. Avoiding intense exercise in the evening/at night⁣
⁣
𝑨𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒅 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒔, 𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 - dark cues the release of melatonin, the hormone that promotes sleep⁣
⁣
𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆 – stress can make us feel alert at irregular times. Developing a routine that promotes relaxation late in the day can help prompt sleep.

Naturopathy emphasizes disease prevention and health promotion. By optimising wellbeing naturally, and addressing the root cause of a condition early, more serious illness and interventions can be prevented. ⁣
⁣
Health is optimized primarily through diet and lifestyle guidance, tailored to the unique requirements of each person. It takes into account current and past health, risk factors, genetic predisposition, and constitution type (the way someone responds to and manages stress and illness from a naturopathic perspective). ⁣
⁣
Once people understand their health needs, they are able to proactively manage their own wellbeing long-term. Ultimately, prevention is better than cure. ⁣

⁣
Health is the result of a dynamic interplay between environmental, physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual influences in a person’s life. ⁣
⁣
While it is sometimes helpful to examine single components of health, considering the whole person allows for connections to be drawn between seemingly separate issues. It helps point towards the underlying causes of an illness.⁣
⁣
For example, frequent chest infections for one person may be influenced by stress and malnourishment, while for another person from genetic predisposition and exposure to air pollution.⁣
⁣
Naturopathic treatment specifically addresses these issues, and is tailored to the unique attributes of the individual.⁣
⁣
As the ancient physician Hippocrates said, ‘it is more important to know what sort of person has a disease, than to know what sort of disease a person has’.⁣

⁣
A large part of naturopathic medicine is education. ⁣
⁣
Naturopaths aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to maintain their own wellbeing. By supporting people to understand their health, they know how to respond to their own needs when they arise, in order to sustain wellbeing long-term. Each person is recognized as the authority on their health, and a collaborative approach is taken to create the best outcomes.⁣
