Ep. 44 "Before you reach for that next bottle of pills, we need to talk about the potential risk of taking supplements without proper guidance." — Soda Kuczkowski In this episode, host Soda Kuczkowski dives into the world of sleep supplements, exploring how to use them safely. She explores the effectiveness and drawbacks of some of the most popular aids like Melatonin, Valerian Root, GABA, and CBD and the importance of professional advice. With so many options promising quick fixes, it’s easy to fall into the trap of taking supplements without fully understanding the risks. She discusses why it’s important to approach supplementation with caution, how to personalize your choices and the potential dangers of overuse or improper use. Plus, she shares how a sleep coach can help you to make informed decisions to avoid common pitfalls so that you can achieve better rest naturally. What's Inside? Melatonin is effective for regulating sleep-wake cycles but should be used appropriately, often in a time-release formula and under professional advice, to avoid interfering with natural hormone production. Magnesium, especially in topical form, promotes relaxation, deeper sleep, and improved sleep quality. Sleep supplements can lead to dependency, and side effects like grogginess, and can mask underlying sleep disorders, which is why professional guidance is crucial. A sleep coach can provide tailored advice to improve sleep hygiene, adjust habits, and track progress effectively, offering long-term solutions beyond temporary fixes. Notable Quotes: "Just because these supplements are available over the counter doesn't mean that they are suitable for everyone." "Supplements should not become a long-term solution; chronic use can lead to dependency or reduce their effectiveness."
