Sleep is hard, but here's what’s empowering:
You haven't tried everything for sleep.
Dear Reader: Here’s the elephant in the room: sleep is hard.
Unlike exercise or nutrition, we can’t just decide to be good at sleep. We can control what we eat and when we move, but we can’t force ourselves to sleep. This is why one of the most common things I hear in our Longevity Vault community is that you adopt generally mindful & healthy lifestyles—but struggle with sleep.
That gap between doing the right things and still struggling with sleep is something I understand.
Some of you might know, I’ve been on a 20-year health optimization journey. What you might not know is that for 15 of those years, my sleep was pretty bad.
I was the “Person A,” I wrote about in my last email with the 10 supplement just for sleep, a meditation device on my nightstand. I wore blue blockers from 5 PM, etc… and still woke up at 3 AM.
How I can help you
That 15-year stretch is the reason I take sleep recovery so seriously—and why I can be a helpful mentor in your sleep recovery journey.
It made me to look beyond the textbooks, while navigating the same real-world scenarios you have—career shifts, high-stress seasons, life stressors, and hormonal changes—not as a clinician, but as someone who had to find the answers.
But, my sleep didn’t get better by trying more things. It got better when I understood the mechanisms behind the problem(s) and moved from a shotgun approach to a targeted one.
My goals are identical to yours:
protect energy and independence,
preserve long-term brain health, and
do it as naturally as possible, for as long as possible.
Because sleep is the foundation for all of that, I’ve built something new to help you.
The Vault 5-Part Sleep Clarity Masterclass
Over 5 episodes, I’ll be your sleep mentor in your inbox. We’ll uncover why the standard approaches haven’t worked and reframe the problem.
I’ll show you how to move from “trying” (the shotgun approach) to “doing” (a targeted one).
Most importantly, you’ll realize the best news of all: you can get that “Person B” sleep, because you haven’t tried everything.
What do you say, are you ready?
If you’re in subscribe here, I’ll be sending the first episode in a few days.
Talk soon,
Kat
P.S. The Vault 5-Part Sleep Clarity Masterclass is built from the questions I receive most often and the struggles I see the most. I’m putting the final touches on the last episodes and will be reviewing all new responses over the next day as I finalize the content. If you missed it in previous emails, here’s where you can add your questions.
