Leyla Weighs In

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin answers this listener question: I’m 77 years old and take melatonin at bedtime to fall asleep but wake up every two hours after that. I take 5-HTP during those times and closer to morning, L-theanine, so I can sleep until 7:30am. I read in medical journals that interrupted sleep can lead to dementia. What is your opinion about what I take for sleep?

Finally a reason to switch your omega-3!

You’ve heard me talk for years about the importance of including fish oil in your supplement regimen—but not all omega-3s are created equal. 

I’m excited to share that I’ve made the switch to a formulation that tops all the rest: Big Bold Health’s Omega-3 Rejuvenate is a premium blend of oils from wild-caught Alaskan cod and sockeye salmon. 

Using a low heat extraction technique to extract the pure amber oil that contains all-natural and abundant full-spectrum omega-3s, Omega-3 Rejuvenate preserves the natural goodness of the fish, so you get maximum benefits in every soft gel. 

Right now, you can save 20% on your order with code HOFFMAN20.
