Heal At Bloom

Sleep isn’t just about supplements or screen time.

Nutrition plays a key role in sleep quality — especially when it comes to cortisol, serotonin, melatonin, and blood sugar regulation.

When blood sugar drops overnight, stress hormones can rise, which may lead to difficulty staying asleep or waking between 2–3am.

Supporting sleep often looks like:

• Eating enough throughout the day
• Prioritizing protein at meals
• Allowing carbohydrates at dinner
• Supporting blood sugar overnight

January at Bloom is focused on sleep, recovery, and building a strong foundation — and nutrition is one of the most overlooked tools for better rest.

If you’re waking up at 2–3 AM or feeling exhausted despite “enough” sleep, your body may be asking for more support, not more willpower.

Food and drink directly impact sleep efficiency by influencing hormones, blood sugar, and stress response. At Bloom, we look deeper to uncover what your body needs to rest well and truly recharge.

Rest is medicine. And sometimes, it starts with dinner.

This Month’s Highlight: Sleep 🌙

Sleep isn’t a luxury, it’s a foundation of health.
When you sleep well, your body repairs, hormones rebalance, inflammation lowers, and your brain resets.
When you don’t, everything feels harder — energy, mood, focus, metabolism, even gut health.

If you’re:
• Tossing and turning
• Waking up tired
• Relying on caffeine to get through the day
• Or feeling wired but tired-

Your body may be asking for deeper support — not just “more sleep,” but BETTER sleep.

This month at Bloom, we’re focusing on:
✨ Understanding why sleep is disrupted
✨ Supporting natural circadian rhythm
✨ Identifying hormone, cortisol, blood sugar, or nutrient imbalances
✨ Creating realistic routines that actually work for real life

Because better sleep changes everything.
And you deserve to wake up rested.
