Can’t fall asleep or can’t stay asleep? The root causes are different.

Onset Insomnia - Difficulty Falling Asleep Common patterns: Lying awake for 30 minutes to hours, racing thoughts, worry, mental hyperactivity, physical restlessness.

Root causes: High evening cortisol, anxiety or unresolved stress, low GABA or serotonin, overstimulation from screens or caffeine, circadian rhythm disruption.

Maintenance Insomnia - Waking During the Night Common patterns: Waking at consistent times (often 2-4 AM), difficulty returning to sleep, sometimes needing bathroom trips.

Root causes: Blood sugar crashes triggering adrenaline, high nighttime cortisol, low progesterone (especially in women), sleep apnea or breathing issues, nutrient deficiencies affecting sleep maintenance.

The treatment approach differs significantly based on which type predominates. Testing reveals the specific barriers to restorative sleep and guides targeted interventions.

After 5 years of testing metabolisms, I needed to stop trying to work through potential causes of low levels uniquely each time I saw it. So I came up with a framework.

This has served my patients really well. It’s like a list of boxes to check when metabolism isn’t responding.

Here it is:

F - Fuel: Ensure adequate nutrition. Under-eating slows metabolism further as the body goes into conservation mode. The body needs fuel to burn fuel.

I - Inflammation: Reduce systemic inflammation that impairs metabolic function. Anti-inflammatory foods, omega-3s, antioxidants, gut healing. Inflammation disrupts insulin signaling and mitochondrial function.

R - Circadian Rhythm: Align eating and activity with natural circadian rhythms. Eating earlier in the day improves insulin sensitivity. Late-night eating impairs metabolism.

Consistent sleep-wake timing optimizes hormone production.

E - Exercise Impact on Metabolism: Strategic exercise to boost metabolic rate. Strength training preserves and builds muscle mass—muscle burns more calories at rest. High-intensity interval training improves insulin sensitivity and fat oxidation.

UP - Unblock Physiology: Address the specific physiological blocks identified in testing—thyroid optimization, gut healing, hormone balancing, and cortisol regulation.

Each patient receives a personalized combination based on testing results. But this framework ensures nothing gets missed.

Energy restoration isn’t about caffeine or willpower.

It’s about identifying what’s been depleted and replenishing it.

Mood instability, poor sleep, and constant fatigue are signals—not personality flaws.

Energy restoration includes:
* Mood and sleep balancing through neurotransmitter support
* Mitochondrial function optimization
* Adrenal and stress hormone testing
* Nutrient replenishment (B12, iron, magnesium, vitamin D)

Feeling strong, stable, and confident is the goal—not just surviving.

Metabolism and your detoxification system are more connected than we think…

Here’s what most people don’t realize: glutathione isn’t just about detox - it’s essential for metabolic health.

The metabolic connection:

Your liver is both your metabolic control center AND your detoxification headquarters.

Glutathione plays a starring role in both functions.

In metabolic health, glutathione:
• Protects mitochondria (your cellular energy factories) from oxidative damage
• Supports insulin signaling and glucose metabolism
• Helps prevent fatty liver by supporting lipid metabolism
• Reduces inflammation that impairs metabolic function

Research shows:

MASLD - Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease patients consistently have lower glutathione levels. Studies using IV glutathione showed improvements in liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) and oxidative balance markers.

People with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes have significantly depleted glutathione levels - creating a vicious cycle where oxidative stress worsens insulin resistance, which further depletes glutathione.

Why this matters for weight and energy:

When your liver is overwhelmed with toxins and oxidative stress, it can’t efficiently metabolize fats, regulate blood sugar, or produce energy.

Glutathione helps break that cycle by:
• Reducing the oxidative burden on liver cells
• Supporting the detox pathways that clear metabolic waste
• Protecting the mitochondria that produce cellular energy

The lifestyle factor:

Chronic alcohol use, processed food consumption, environmental toxin exposure, and chronic stress all deplete glutathione faster than your body can make it - simultaneously damaging your metabolic health.

This is why supporting glutathione (through precursors like NAC, adequate protein intake, or in clinical settings, IV therapy) can be part of a comprehensive metabolic restoration protocol.

Your metabolism doesn’t exist in isolation - it’s intimately connected to your body’s ability to manage oxidative stress and detoxify efficiently.

What’s Actually IN MIC Injections?

Let’s break down the science behind each ingredient

MIC injections contain five key components that work together to support liver fat metabolism and cellular energy production. Here’s what each one does:

Methionine - Essential amino acid that acts as a methyl donor, supports liver detoxification, and helps prevent fat accumulation in the liver

Inositol - B-vitamin-like compound that acts as a cellular messenger, may help regulate insulin signaling and supports mood and appetite regulation

Choline - Essential for lipid transport out of the liver, prevents fatty liver buildup, and supports fat oxidation pathways

Vitamin B6 - Cofactor in amino acid and neurotransmitter metabolism, enhances energy utilization and may improve mood regulation

Vitamin B12 - Critical for methylation pathways, supports mitochondrial energy production, and reduces fatigue

The real story: These ingredients support liver lipid metabolism and energy production - they don’t burn fat directly. In our clinic, patients consistently report that MIC injections make calorie restriction easier to maintain.

Understanding what’s in your treatment helps you make informed decisions about your health.

Understanding NAD+: The molecule at the center of cellular energy and aging.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) isn’t just another supplement buzzword - it’s fundamental to how your cells produce energy, repair damage, and maintain resilience.

As NAD+ declines with age and stress, cellular function suffers. Energy metabolism slows, cellular repair becomes impaired, and aging accelerates at the cellular level.

At Noble Naturopathic, we support NAD+ levels through IV therapy or NAD+ precursors. Our preference for daily support is Tru Niagen, available at all three locations.

We often use this therapy in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and for those experiencing the symptoms of burnout.

One of the most important parts of patient care is transparency. You deserve to know not only what I’m recommending, but also why I’m recommending it.

When it comes to protocols, I don’t guess. I rely on trusted, evidence-based sources:

• Amboss for conventional medical care
• Examine.com for nutraceutical dosing and research-backed evidence

By grounding every decision in these resources, you know exactly where your treatment plan comes from — and why it’s designed the way it is.

With this approach, we remove the guesswork and move toward clear, consistent, and effective outcomes.

Confused about which hormone tests you actually need?

Perimenopause and menopause bring a flood of changes but with the right tests, symptoms can start to make sense.

Here’s the truth:
• In perimenopause, timing matters. Test on the right cycle day, or results can mislead.
• In menopause, timing doesn’t matter as much but getting a full picture of hormones, adrenals, thyroid, and metabolic health is helpful for optimal wellness programming.

The right labs give answers, clarity, and a roadmap for feeling your best.
