This Week On TheHealthHub…Right Sleep Part 1 With Dr. Stasha Gominak

Dr. Gominak attended college in California and  medical school at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, receiving her MD degree in 1983. She completed a Neurology residency in 1989 at the Harvard affiliated, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. From 1991-2004 she practiced as general neurologist in the San Francisco Bay area. In 2004 Dr. Gominak moved with her husband to Tyler, Texas and began to concentrate on treating neurological illness by improving sleep. She published a pivotal article in 2012 proposing that the global struggle with worsening sleep was linked to reduced sun exposure.  In 2016 she followed with a second article linking the change in the intestinal microbiome to the epidemic of poor sleep, and described a simple process for normalizing sleep and the intestinal bacterial population, called RightSleep®.  In 2016 she retired from office practice to have more time to teach. She currently divides her time between teaching individuals, through virtual coaching sessions and teaching clinicians from a wide variety of medical and dental fields. Her popular courses and lectures help clinicians improve their patients’ health and wellbeing by improving their sleep.
Learning points:
  • Is poor sleep just the new normal?
  • How is vitamin D linked to sleep?
  • Why is it imperative to know our serum D levels?

Inflammation and vitamin D: the infection connection

This is a very interesting study that brings to light a possible connection between inflammation and our chronic deficiency of Vitamin D.  Up until now we have assumed that it has been our chronic deficit of Vitamin D intake weakening our immune system.  This study suggests the possibility that inflammation may impede our ability to metabolize Vitamin D adequately.

“Some authorities now believe that low 25(OH)D is a consequence of chronic inflammation rather than the cause. Research points to a bacterial etiology pathogenesis for an inflammatory disease process which results in high 1,25(OH)2D and low 25(OH)D. Immunotherapy, directed at eradicating persistent intracellular pathogens, corrects dysregulated vitamin D metabolism and resolves inflammatory symptoms.”

Should the findings of this study bear merit, the importance of paying heed to our microbiome is once again brought and front and underlying the importance of striving for good gut health.

Here is the link to the study:
