Are you tired of tossing and turning at night — or relying on melatonin to get some rest? In this episode of The Period Whisperer, I break down the 5 most popular sleep supplements women are using — Magnesium, GABA, Valerian Root, Melatonin, and Passion Flower — and reveal the surprising truth behind when they help… and when they actually backfire.

If you're navigating perimenopause, hormonal shifts, or midlife insomnia, this episode is your clear, root-cause guide to better sleep — without the confusion.

🎧 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What each supplement does and how it supports your sleep hormones
  • Why melatonin may be doing more harm than good
  • The best form of magnesium for deep, restful sleep
  • How GABA and Passion Flower calm your nervous system naturally
  • When supplements are helping — and when they’re covering up a deeper issue

💡 Top Takeaways:

  1. Sleep issues are a symptom, not the root. Don’t treat them blindly.
  2. Magnesium glycinate is a safe, powerful first step for most women.
  3. Melatonin and GABA need to be used cautiously and with intention.
  4. Herbs like Valerian and Passion Flower can support the nervous system gently — but they’re not magic fixes.
  5. Know your pattern: Can’t fall asleep? Waking up at 3am? The answer depends on your hormones.
