Welcome to the Sleep As a Skill podcast. My name is Mollie Eastman. I am the founder of Sleep as A Skill, a company that optimizes sleep through technology, accountability, and behavioral change. As an ex sleep sufferer turned sleep course creator, I am on a mission to transform the way the world. Thinks about sleep.
Each week I'll be interviewing world-class experts, ranging from researchers, doctors, innovators, and thought leaders to give actionable tips and strategies that you can implement to become a more skillful sleeper. Ultimately, I believe that living a circadian aligned lifestyle is going to be one of the biggest trends in wellness, and I'm committed to keeping you up to date on all the things that you can do today.
To transform your circadian health and by extension, allowing you to sleep and live better than ever before.
Welcome to the Sleep is a Skill podcast where we help you optimize your sleep so you can truly show up for your life. Today's episode is a powerful one because we're exploring a perspective on sleep that goes far beyond the basics. If you've ever struggled with waking up in the middle of the night feeling unrested or wondering why your body just won't fully switch off, this conversation might open a completely new lens.
I'm joined by Dr. Chris Motley, a globally renowned alternative health practitioner, specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, frequency medicine, and kinesthesiology. What I love about this conversation is how he connects sleep to something much bigger. Your organs, your nervous system, hidden infections, and even unprocessed emotions.
That can be a biggie. We talk about why waking up at certain times of night may not be random, how your body is constantly communicating with you and how restoring balance in the body can dramatically improve your sleep. This is one of those episodes that really invites you to listen differently to your symptoms, your patterns, and your body's signals.
If you've been trying all the usual sleep tips and still not getting results, this might be the missing piece. So tune in, stay
curious, and see what resonates. And if this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who could use a new perspective on their sleep.
Welcome to the Sleep is a Skill podcast.
This is gonna be an exciting stretch. My guest and I were about to be embarking on a podcast swap, so we're gonna have a couple hours, if you will, of deep diving into hopefully a lot around sleep and more. So thank you so much for taking the time to be here.
I appreciate it so much. I really do consider a privilege.
Thank you so much. You do such a great job on your podcast, and it was really great meeting you. I got to meet you down in Austin. Yes. And um, they were telling me and Bev, everybody was telling me how great of a person you were and how sweet you were. So thank you so much for having me on here. I'm so thankful.
Well, the sentiments were the same for you, so really grateful and cannot wait to dive in. I know that your, my experience of you has been just such a great human being and with such wisdom and knowledge to match. So this is gonna be a great time to dive in. So maybe we could start somewhere in the beginning of how you found yourself as such an expert in your domain and how that relates to sleep.
Oh, when I first started out in the health world, I'm gonna make it really fast so people don't get too bored. But I would say as I went into chiropractic school because I wanted to do something with neurology and I, before I went to school, um, I had a car wreck. And I got reared it pretty bad. Neck was injured and even when I went to school, I would get my neck adjusted, get some therapies on it, and would always feel like it was out.
Uh, when I went to school, they do these clinicals and so I had a guy that I knew there who told me that he could do some muscle work on me. And when he worked on me, he said the muscles in my neck were not firing and not keeping my spine in alignment because my gallbladder. Was not working properly. So I took note of that because I am, I'm half Korean, have some Chinese, and my mom had told me that we'd had some distant relatives in the hills of Korea that did a lot of herbology and did some different medicine.
I did not know that till later, but it intrigued me with this talk about like an organ causing my neck. To go outta alignment. He worked on lymphatic points and acupressure and acupuncture points, and it helped my gallbladder fire up and I say, fire up. It's like get it reignited, get it to work properly.
And that restored energy to the meridians, the pathways of energy around my neck. And so it kept my neck in place and so I didn't have any more neck issues like it. I never went out again. I didn't have any more headaches. And as it relates to sleep, I don't really tell this story much often, but. When I had the wreck, I was always getting up around 1130, 12:00 AM 11:30 PM 12:00 AM and that midnight hour is usually in the Chinese medicine clock associated with the gallbladder and the liver.
Yes.
So my ancestry, I called answers my family history. My grandfather had his gallbladder removed, my dad had gallbladder issues, parasites and such that he didn't find out till later. Mm-hmm. And so I inherited that trait. So when I had the wreck. I hope this makes sense. So I already genetically had probably a pretty weak gallbladder and liver.
'cause I didn't eat right. I drank Mountain Dew. Yeah. I ate Hot Pockets. I'm hate to even admit that.
Oh my. I had a checkered pass with that as well and a car accident. So we got a lot in common already.
We gotta talk about it because
Yeah,
whenever I got it realigned, my sleep got better.
Mm.
I started sleeping during the night.
Then this may be a little too graphic for the people out there listening, but I will tell you this, your gallbladder supplies not, it doesn't supply, but it actually dumps bile into your stomach and that eventually combines with fiber to make your poop, basically. But I started having literally better bowel movements and I was noticing that there was different coloration, as gross as that may sound, but it was my, my gallbladder was starting to function and then it helped my sleep.
Wow. And that's when. I really dove into like different types of, you know, Chinese medicine theories and practices, really went into acupuncture and, and learning about the cycle, the will of, uh, timeframes, like the circadian rhythm of Chinese medicine. So everybody out there, listen, when you talk about sleep, um, you really have to.
Well, you don't have to learn anything I'm saying I did. I had to learn about how each organ absorbed energy at certain times a day that would actually give you good sleep at night because if you rob those organs at the time of day, it may make your sleep suffer. That's how I got into the sleep, uh, that I really respected sleep.
And, uh, but long after that, when I started to really go into organ cleansing, I noticed that my sleep got deeper and I was actually getting into rem I was actually getting into dreams, which I'd never done before. That's how it started,
really. So prior to that, you didn't experience at least remembering
your
doctor, okay.
Not that,
not at all. So what I remember, I know I had. I didn't know at the time.
Sure.
But at 13 or 14, that's like when I had Lyme infections because I'd walk through a um, a nest of ticks. So there's nests, that's what they have. And so there's seed ticks. So I had about 60 on my legs, but 30 or 40 have attached 30.
30 I counted when I was a kid, I was like a nerd. And
yes,
they
love all the nerds 'cause here's one right here. Yeah. So my legs, I started getting like, um, fasciculations and cramping and I started getting insomnia. Ugh.
Yes.
And I had insomnia for almost two to three years during high school, and I would not wanna tell my, I would get so frustrated and angry.
Yes.
Um, and my sleep suffered and I started, I could have like little sag bags under my eyes and in that timeframe I was. To me, respecting sleep and learning how it sort of worked with not only my natural rhythms, but it also came, it also was in relation to my infections as well that were in my body.
Yeah,
so I took it upon myself and to make it a long story short. I work with a lot of patients too, that have like infections and have chronic infections. That's the main thing that most people come into the office and emotional fatigue.
Hmm.
And what you'll learn is that whenever you heal up an organ and you heal up the emotion that's stored in the organ or the infection.
You give the body rest and so the body rests and each organ feeds the next. And so that's really important for people who want to get into the health, you know, to heal their, uh, body, is to really understand how each organ works off of each other. And it's really interesting. I know some people may not think it's that interesting to me.
It is. But once you, I will take. You'll know every trait in the day. It's like when you get up in the morning, five to 7:00 AM is the time they'll tell you that you're supposed to take a bowel movement. Yes. So we get up and take a bowel movement. What does that mean metabolically and energetically? That's when your large intestine is most active.
Mm. If you go from seven to 9:00 AM that's when your stomach starts to get a bit active and you want to eat. So that's how Chinese medicine clock works. It talks about where the energy goes and which organ is the most active at that time, and if each organ gets the amount of energy they need and they don't feel robbed throughout the day, you won't suffer in sleep.
That's that's one angle of it.
Wow. Okay. So you had this crash course in, in this knowledge from your own struggles as well, in addition to then helping others down the road.
Yes. Yes. And I, and it was really a good wake up call for me to,
yeah.
Um, go through the journey. Do you ever, you said you had the wreck too, right?
You had erect. It was really, and I read some of your history, um, when we were about to do the next podcast. Um. You go through that injury and so you start to get into contact with people who had the same injuries right. And had the same issues. And your heart goes out to them and you know that they understand.
Yeah.
What, and they understand. You understand? Yeah. And that makes you a better practitioner, right? Like in my opinion. Yeah. That's what I think. Is that how it felt for you? Like you go, oh, I went through this and now I gotta help people with this?
A hundred percent, yes. The level of empathy that emerged for me after going through that period of insomnia, and I postulate that certainly at the car accident and TBI and some of the residual effects of that car accident certainly probably didn't aid.
In my journey, you know, I can't, yeah, right. It was just part of the, of the path. But absolutely, it felt like the level of relatability and being able to get how some of these rock bottom moments for people, the ability to empathize, but then also to bring in things and bring in hope, because that was really when I was struggling with insomnia anyway.
It was so often I wanted just. Stories of people that had made it on the other side versus that, oh, sorry, you're gonna be on Ambien for the rest of your life, or whatever, you know, sad tale, we might see people go down, unfortunately, and if anyone's listening and dealing with, you know, different parts of their journey, please know that there's always things that we can do to make a difference no matter where you might be at.
So it's, it's a layered thing, but I completely agree.
I think that you said it so well, it's. That when you know how a person suffers and you know, they're, that they came out of it. That was what got me to keep working harder when I knew I had the Lyme infections. Yes. And I, I was really, I I at a time. Did you ever get to this point, like when you have so much injury?
Yeah, it's hard to hear. The condition you are suffering from. Because if you don't feel like there's hope, it is really hard to listen to a person's story, right? Like
yes.
You're like, I don't wanna listen to this because it just doesn't help me out. But if you listen to somebody that says, Hey you, you can get out of this.
Exactly. And um, and I know we're talking about sleep, but really like, I didn't rest. Like my body was not rest. Like I literally continuously felt tired. Chronically
Yes. And.
That chronic fatigue, you know, we're talking about going to sleep, but I think it's so beautiful how you talk about, which I, I need to learn more about how each part of the night has different sections of sleep that heal different parts of your body, like your brain and detoxification.
That stuff just totally intrigues me. I'm like, what? Like
wild, right?
Yes. I mean, and you know, like you can't even, you know, since I was a kid, we were talking about dreaming. It's like literally from that time I remember I was never dreaming. I, I would have night terrors after I had the Lyme.
Okay.
And I just think when I listened to your information, I'm thinking all the times I had night terrors, I probably was not even sleeping or, or I wasn't even getting rest.
So. Sure.
Yeah.
Uh, now, like we just talked about being like, oh, grandpa, uh, grandma.
Yes.
Like, I literally. I, I understand now why my grandfather wanted to get to bed. He would be like, well, got time to go to bed. I would be like, yeah. That's how I feel too. So, yeah,
exactly. That's my take on it. They had it right all along.
Exactly. I love that. Well, you know, and it's interesting too how you're pointing to, and there's many different kind of spokes to this wheel that we could. Floor, but maybe just one of the first ones from an anatomical perspective. 'cause we do have so many people that something happens, car accident, injury, something, and now they're struggling with pain.
They're struggling with waking up throughout the course of the night and presumably some of the things that you're speaking to could make a difference and they might not have explored going down the chiropractic route. So maybe even just beginning there of how that might make a difference for people.
Truly. Yes. Okay. So. I usually like if you guys are watching or listening, um, I use all the Chinese Medicine Doll and it's really funny 'cause I, you know, for some reason on Instagram, people like when I use the doll
Yeah, I love it. Yeah.
But what'll happen though, like in a kinesiology, chiropractic, acupuncture way, one of the things that if you had a car wreck like we did, or if you had an injury like Lyme disease, we can go down different types of injuries, but.
Each part of your spine and each part of your vertebra, each vertebra is associated with a particular organ, most each one of them. Mm-hmm. Okay. And that vertebra is attached to an organ through a nerve, but it's also related to certain muscles, especially around the actual vertebra. Right. This is the kicker.
For instance, if you got into a wreck Yes. Or you got injured in your upper back, like you hurt right between your shoulder blade. I can't tell. Many people come to me and they go, my shoulder blades hurt, and I'm very tight and it feels like I need somebody to gimme a squeeze to pop my back.
Hmm.
There's a couple things in the neurological world, right Between your shoulder blade, like the thoracic four, that's an example, is sure.
Going to be connected to the gallbladder. Does that make sense?
Yeah.
So it's the gallbladder, but it also is related to the rhomboids.
Mm.
All right. So what we're saying is if you got into a wreck and you got whiplash, you could knock your head forward and back and it could strain your rhomboids. Okay. So it could strain them.
Sure.
They're weak already because the gallbladder has been feeding deficient nerve signals to those muscles already. They were already weak.
Mm-hmm.
So you get into a wreck and over injure the muscles again. Does that make sense? Yes. So you injure them again, and now there's a ton of neurological singles, nerve singles going into your spine, up to your brain saying, yo, there are injuries to these muscles.
Okay. And it's really giving indication that there was always a problem with the gallbladder. Now you and I are so good in Chinese medicine world to adapt. So we went through our lives adapting. We're fine. There's no pain. But now you got an extra injury on top of it.
Yes.
And then you go to sleep and at 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM the energy and your blood flow.
Your blood flow is supposed to go to your gallbladder to give it energy, to get it ready to hold bile for the next day's meal.
Yes.
So then your body goes. No, you are not gonna sleep. I'm tired and I'm injured, and you need to gimme a little TLC. You better pay attention to what's going on, so your sleep wakes you up.
And that's what I'm saying. The each time of day has a different organ, so I don't wanna go through all 'em to organ people, but I'm saying that time of day is gallbladder. If you go to the next organ, the energy of the gallbladder literally ends on your ring toe.
What,
and that and on your ring toe, so people get their, the fourth toe always injures or goes out of alignment.
It's your gallbladder. It will jump over the 44 over into the liver one, which is on the inside of the big toe at 1:00 AM.
Ah,
and so it goes up the inside of the leg, the liver menu, all the way up the inside of the leg. If you can fall and goes up to your chest on both sides. So then that's the liver.
Then next organ up is the lung. So you're supposed to prepare your lungs from three to 5:00 AM. To get enough energy to what? Breathe in the day's oxygen.
Mm.
See how that all works? Like it's preparing you. It's like I'm ready to get going, but without getting too long-winded. When the sleep is disrupted, you find the time of day night that you're getting up and then you associate it with the organ that should be getting energized.
And if you're waking up, that organ is not metabolized or not doing what it's supposed to do. And if you didn't get. If you didn't have a wreck like you and I did,
yes.
If you didn't have an injury, then you have deep promotional fatigue coming up.
Mm. That's
so, so if you didn't have an injury, like you go, oh my goodness.
Like I, I get up every morning at three.
Yes.
I don't know why, doc, I literally, you know that people get, have, people would tell you that all the time. They go, Hey, I course get back morning 3 21, 3. Mm-hmm. And you go, well, there's numerology and people believe in that and it's great. And I go. Okay, well that's lung.
And so your lungs are trying to push out toxicity. Mm. You're trying to cry. You're trying to grieve over something and you can't, so your neurology is saying, eh, we gotta get you grieving, or you're trying to grieve. But you can't. So those are like the beauty of like knowing your body's internal cycle with sleep.
Wow. Well, this is really personally relevant for me right now because I'm finally addressing a lot of this residual stuff that I was dealing with from my car accident more recently. And I don't know how you feel about shockwave. So currently I'm in the midst of many shockwave treatments. I am standing here today being like, how did people not tell me about this sooner?
It has been, I don't wanna jinx myself or something. But so far it has felt totally miraculous. Paired with adjustments, lifestyle shifts. Like I'm talking to you with this standing desk. I got this like terrain, you know, matched and I'm like, you know, have ergonomics set up. So I'm also doing other things by day.
So addressing, I, we discovered in X-rays, you know, bone spurs and I think it was. C one, C two, I wanna say. And then I had baby burst compression, L four and L five. Sorry to bore people that might be listening, but my point is that it can feel like a bit of a journey where you're kind of repairing yourself piece by piece and learning.
How these things could be impacting other aspects, surprising symptoms. Right. And like you pointed to the headaches. No, that's been something that I had dealt with for so much of my life and so much of that has then gone down as a result of getting some of this in alignment. And I'm still on the journey with this and really looking to.
Correct certain things. Still got some like scapula, winging and certain things that I'm addressing. But I shared this because I think there could be an opportunity for, you know, I had been someone that was resigned almost to this. I was like, oh, well, you know, I'm just someone that often my traps are sore and it's left over from the car.
Unlikely. Or how I'm, you know, living my life or whatever. And yet it didn't have to look like that. Mm-hmm. And now to experience that, it can have a whole other reality. So fascinating and just a testament to some of the work that you're doing. It's so important.
Well, I mean, did you like okay with the shockwave therapy when you did that?
Yeah. Um, when you started experiencing that, you said you have some shoulder blade winging, did you feel like you got more relief in those upper back muscles and such like, and then did it help like you started to sleep, get into deeper sleep at all?
Yes, and I don't now, I'm such a hard test case because I'm also doing so many things at the same time.
It's like kitchen sink, like I've tried this supplement, this protocol, this thing. So it's not ever like I have isolated variables. However, I've had improvements in my HRV, I've been having what. Feels like and in certain metrics, improvements in the depth and richness of my sleep. Mm. There's been, even just for my own wellbeing, I've known myself as more of an anxious leaning person, and yet much of that subsiding, granted, I'm doing a lot of subconscious mind work and all these other things 'cause why not?
And yet. It feels like there's gotta be some connections there. What are your thoughts there?
Oh, I think that you're piecing them all together and I think people out there when they're listening, they're thinking, okay, um, if you had the, when you had the rec and you're doing all the pieces to help mend,
yeah,
it's really great that.
As you investigate more and you start mending one area of your life, like the physical that you start to unravel, like your, like let's say your emotions.
Yes.
Or your biochemistry and you know, as well as, uh, like I do, like when you get to a point where you are able to investigate and allow that injury to open up more.
Yes. To, to me that's one of the best things about the journey of health is that. You could either just sort of take the injury and go, well, I'm just going to just live with it, like the upper soreness in the trap. Sure. Or you say, I'm gonna investigate. And that's what you did. And I'm, I'm with you. Uh, I am investigating on myself all the time.
People say, what are you doing motley? I'm like, I am taking different herbs. And I literally Guinea pig. And, and sometimes I am, many times I'm thankful that I will get something and I think. Literally, I just cleared out my spleen and I'll go and I just realize I have the worst boundaries ever. And they're like, what?
And they think it's ridiculous. Some of my friends, yeah, but I'm like. No, you more, you unravel your injuries. Yeah. The more your brain will fill and have permission to tell you what else is really associated with that injury. Hmm. So I don't think maybe the people out there listening are thinking, oh no, we're gonna talk about, uh, co uh, coincidence.
What if there were any coincidences? What if you did have the wreck and it was the worst thing that ever happened in your life?
Mm.
And. I don't know. I'm not saying I do know this, but what if you went through it and it, it's your body's opportunity to say, no, Molly, you have to deal with this. Like,
yes.
And it may start now.
You never know. And that's to me is how I perceive like all these things you're doing, uh, like I thought, well, I'm gonna get me a new PEMF Matt today. I've gotta go find some like, and you know, you start to look into it.
Yes.
Um. And the greatest thing did you ever feel accomplished? Okay, so let's say you, you found like shockwave theory, which is amazing.
Yes. Yes. I'm so glad you have the same experience.
Love it. '
cause yeah.
And then, and then you get to a point and somebody's gonna come to you tomorrow or next week and go, you know what? I've been having this issue so bad. And you go, oh, let me tell you something. Yes. You've gotta try this. Yes, I'm telling you
Uhhuh.
And
then you get all excited. Yes. And they're like, okay, I'll do it. You know, like, and you go, no. That's the beauty of going through something. At least you can help somebody else out.
Exactly. I love what you said too, because the way you just languaged all that is absolutely a lot of how I think about insomnia now.
Because for me, that was one of my lowest moments from a. Mental health perspective from a like life perspective, just everything. It was a culmination, serial entrepreneur in Manhattan, burning candle about death and then suddenly insomnia hits and it's like, I can't even sleep. Oh my God. But also it was, you know, paired with a fear.
And I know we'll get into this on your podcast. But a fear of seeing a lot of people in my family dealing with lots of mental health issues. So it was a concern of, oh no, is this a sign of going down that path? Wow. So there's a lot of loaded for me in that moment. Right.
That would be very. Eyeopening and tough,
honestly.
Yeah, because I definitely saw very close family members and sadly they went down the path of, you know, benzodiazepine use decades of Xanax and lots of heavy duty drugs and some scary stuff from a mental health perspective. So it was a fear of, is this the moment for me? And yet, to your point around sometimes those moments in our life, and I'm saying this for anyone that might be struggling with their sleep right now, that I truly believe in.
And sometimes it can feel hard to believe, but that this has the opportunity to being one of the best things that ever happened to you on your journey because it's often so uncomfortable. So puts you at odds with now you're gonna have to actually address what's not working.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Right?
Yeah,
that's good. It does in a sense force your hand. 'cause we talked about it. It really does, does it forces your hand. And, um, I think that most people who get their, you know, hands forced are usually after the, the matter of the fact.
Yeah.
They'll go, I can't believe I didn't look into this from before.
You know? And when you say unfortunately, I know, like I had family members too that would go down, um, if they had to take certain drugs and things or prescriptions.
Yeah.
And but you're meant to, to tell people about it now. Yeah, and you know, and, and I think it's where you, you know, we can think it sounds woo woo, but uh, you are where you are and once you start to practice the gratitude of it and thank your body for.
Healing and maturing in that aspect. I truly believe that, um, it allows the energy and the cheetah flow to each portion, but you will spread that energy and people will know that, and that's what you were, you were here to do at that time. And so think about the outreach you have now. Um, would your life have been a little boring if you hadn't had insomnia?
That's a very good point. Yes, a hundred percent. Yeah. And I share that a lot too. Is that part of, what was that rock bottom moment for me was that crisis of purpose. There was a missing of purpose for me, and I think that's, and this goes into why I think that sleep is a fascinating area, because often to address sleep, it's a barometer of the workability of your life.
And if your life isn't working right, very good in some way, shape, or form, it's gonna show up night after night. Now that could be. Physiologically, that could be from an anatomical perspective, there could be things there that could be from a health and wellbeing, we're not moving our body enough, getting outside, et cetera.
And very often in tandem or bi-directionally, we'll see other things from a psychological perspective or a crisis of meaning or you know, mission in our lives. So there's a lot there that we can dive into. Yeah,
there's a lot. I think it's, um, to me, when you, when you say there's different aspects and avenues, I think that the more you investigate for everybody listening, if you don't have a physical issue, it is really interesting when you say like, purpose, meaningfulness, direction worth.
Yes. Uh, caretaking being there for everybody else. You and I. We, all of us don't realize how much that's playing in the background.
Yes.
And that I always compare it to like an iPhone. I used to do this old analogy, but it'd be like, just think about if your iPhone had like 40 apps running and what does your battery do?
Yeah. Like it just runs down, so you gotta swipe 'em off. So. The only way you're gonna swipe 'em off is you actively do it. Like during the day, like if you're gonna do something like with your emotions or your psychology, like to help swipe them off so that at night your battery starts to recharge. But remember, if your apps are, if you have a lot of apps running, it's gonna be really hard for you to get rest.
And so true. Those apps can be anything really.
Yeah. Oh, so well said. Oh, I know. There's so many things that we could dive into with you, and I'm so excited to hear how you're managing your own sleep. But before we get into those kind of individual questions, since this is such a huge, huge topic, any kind of putting a bow on it, conversations or threads that you wanna make sure we underscore or.
Pull or pluck to discuss sleep and your approach for sleep.
Okay. I think, I hope I, you don't sound like you're like a record, like you're repeating record. Mm-hmm. I would say to me, um, one of the biggest things like I would like to talk about, or which you don't have to, I mean
Yes.
Is not only like we talk about the circadian rhythm of the body Yes.
But the aspect of hidden infections and. Hidden infections really can do a number on your sleep.
Yeah.
And hidden infections can change your psychology and change your dreaming. So to me, knowing your health history about what infections you had as when you were a kid and you think you grew out of them.
Mm.
Or you remember, oh, I jumped in a lake and I got super sick because I swallowed a whole bunch of water, but that went away. No, it probably did not.
Yeah,
and those things can ruin your sleep. Those are, that's one big aspect I wouldn't mind. I don't want, because I know we can go down Mindy Routes and I don't want the greet the listener to be like, oh my God, how many things do I have to listen to right now?
But
yes,
but I want everybody out there to, you know, everybody's had some infections or something, and this is not even sound negative or scary. This is just to be informative.
Sure. So, and to that point, 'cause sometimes people say things like that, they'll say, well, I've heard that I could have these stealth infections, and even the term of this sounds so intense.
What would be some of the paths that you would just have people explore if they're speculating, that they might be dealing with something like that, just so that they feel like there's a pathway for action for them?
Truly, in a nutshell, the two types of tests I do it with my virtual clients and such is I tell them to.
You can do a test which the A lab does to check your sinuses, your EENT. Like you can literally take a swab and you could swab your nose really well and don't do a COVID jab, I'm saying like up the nose, but you swab and even the people do it around the ears and get the ear wax out. And what I'm saying is you can do a sinus test to see what types of bacteria, over 50,000 different bacteria.
Okay?
Yes,
you can eat a throat one. Now these are different labs, but you could also do a urinalysis. And the reason I say what are the ways you want to, what are the things you wanna check is because any infection that's in the head, in the neck, in your tonsils and your salivary glands, in your eyes, in your ears are gonna keep you up at night.
Ugh.
They will poop. They will migrate. Yeah, they will go to tissues in your brain. So they go and they can cross blood-brain barriers. So we're talking about strep, staph, possible Lyme, some parasites, but if you got a general. Check, like if you did one from MicroGen dx, I get no money from this. I'm saying MicroGen, G and dx.
MicroGen dx, they test for about over 50,000 different types of bacteria and fungus just alone. Hmm. So if you tested and you found out, oh my goodness, I have a whole bunch of strep, could that keep you up at night? You better believe it, Ken.
Totally.
Totally right. And if you did a urinalysis, because in Chinese medicine the heart rules the morning.
The heart does the heat.
Yes.
The kidneys ruled the night. Absolutely. So if your kidneys are really tired, you'll have nightmares and such. But one of the things I always tell people is we wanna do a urinalysis. Well doc, I went and got a UTI check, and this was, I don't have e coli, so I don't have any, uh, urinalysis.
Um, a UTI. And then you get this test, like called a euro key by the same company, and they'll have one or two ridiculously named bacteria that nobody knows, but they're in such high amounts. Ugh. They're giving infection states to the kidneys and bladder. Why would that be important? 'cause it'll keep you up at night.
Yes, and they will. It will not give the energy up to your heart. Your heart will not feel rested. 'cause the kidneys feed the heart. And this is physiological too. I can go down that route, but it's, it can be boring to some, but it feeds energy to the heart and the heart doesn't feel rested. So what does the heart do?
Whoa. Wake up.
Absolutely. Yes.
Those are the two things. Urinalysis checks and sinus checks are the first two things I would do.
So Good. Thank you for sharing that too. Because so often people can get overwhelmed and expenses can go up and they can see every allopathic, functional, et cetera, practitioner.
Yes. And the numbers. Start, you know, going and it can be disconcerting. It can be disempowering. But to have that kind of like, let's just start here. And those probably aren't most look wildly expensive, I wouldn't imagine,
right? No, no. 200 bucks, 210, 215. But if you did it, okay, I'm getting high voiced. I'll stop guys.
No, but anybody listening, just think about it. If you do get a test. And this is really important 'cause it is your sleep and you got a test and you thought, well the test told me I had a certain form of staph.
Yeah.
And you killed the stab and you, you started killing it and you, or you, let's say you wouldn't got an antibiotic.
Like I'm not, if you wouldn't got an antibiotic or you got an herb Yeah, sure. And you started getting better, you would think I would've missed that the, and I could suffer sleep. And then what happens to the body is this, and you guys know this, you get a staph infection or strep in your sinuses. And then what else accumulates.
Viruses. Yes. Mold. Then you start getting this accumulation.
Yes.
And then you feel hopeless. I can't get any sleep.
Mm-hmm.
So to me it's like just taking a $200 test or $240, I, I don't know, they're somewhere different. But if you can find that one golden nugget that gives you the key, I've, I'm thankful I'm not patting myself on the back.
It's not that I just seen some really good. Uh, aha moments in the clinic where I missed them. I'm like, okay, we gotta get a test here 'cause I don't know what's going on. And then somebody has like a crazy form of strep and you're like, oh my goodness, I missed that. But at least the test found it.
Yeah.
And then they kid it and then they go back to sleep.
They sleep, they're like, oh, I'm dreaming again.
Are you of the thinking that everyone pretty much should test for these? Would you like to see a future where everyone's testing for these? I
would, I'd really mean that because I was always that guy like, 'cause I do Chinese best, I do facial diagnosis, hand tongue diagnosis, and I'm not the expert at, I do a lot of it, but
yeah.
Um, even on like, on some of the, like the clients I work with now, even here at the office or in virtually uh. I, I, I love to pride myself that I can find different things on people without really having to do like certain types of testing.
Yes.
But as I gotten older, you, you know, being an old, getting, being an old man in this world, in this type of realm, I'm like, yeah.
I like being able to understand which test to give or to suggest. And when you do it, you go, oh, I just was able to bypass all that other stuff and I found this, and then I use the Chinese medicine stuff to like sort of fortify of. Sure. So I lo I wish everybody did, um, because it would, 'cause most people when they come to you, uh, they, they'll say, um, not most people.
Yeah, I'm just saying generally some people when they don't know what's going on internally, like Yes. Whether they don't know what infection. They'll, you'll, they'll get better. You give them suggestions, right? Mm-hmm. You give them their plans, they feel better. They're doing better. Yes. But sometimes like that happens to me, they'll go, I just don't know.
It's, it's not the full, you know, it's not the full effect and you're going, and I get it.
Mm-hmm.
But if somebody would've tested some things and found out a couple extra inform piece of information, it would be off. There wouldn't be any pressure on anybody. Yeah. And so. I wish, like every office visit, I don't understand.
I wish every hospital visit, and this is a lot to say,
yeah.
That people would go in there and get their sinuses deeply checked. Their poop. They deeply checked, I'm serious. Like really intensive. And their urine. Yes. And they, they just don't test for enough proteins. I'm not trying to change subject. I'm saying they don't, don't test for those things.
And if you realize like the imbalances of microbes in your body and how they produce poop and toxins, that will definitely fry your nerves. Yes, it'll fry your organs and you'll stay up at night.
Yes. Ugh. Preach. Exactly. Oh my gosh. That's so good. And just real quick, when you said testing their poop, what would be some of the tests that you might recommend for that?
I think that like there's some people do like some people don't really necessarily like GI Map. I'm not putting down GI Map. Sure. GI maps are pretty well. Some people do the Oats test and OATS, but that's a urine test. But I'm saying poop testing, like MicroGen does that. They test for every type of fluid.
I'm not plugging, it's just like. There's probably more labs out there that Yes, that test maybe just as much. Sure. Maybe vibrant wellness. Yeah. But MicroGen has a fecal matter test and they also have a blood test, but you can pick which body fluid to test.
So good. No, I get that passion. I feel similar with sleep testing.
You know, there's over a hundred. Sleep wake disorders and yet costs, you know, nowadays you can get it for around a hundred bucks to test at home. So it's the same way that we would test going in for physical and you get your heart tested and as in blood pressure, et cetera, the. Ease by which we could now be testing for sleep disorders.
It just, it behooves us to start doing that on routinely. So I completely hear you.
No, I'm with you. I think that whenever you, um, that now we get more and more testing for different things, that it could be a little bit easier. I'd say for us, we need to take advantage of it. That's all I'm saying.
That's what we're saying.
Yep, absolutely. Okay. Well that was beautiful and just so tactical too, and it can really, especially when people are tired and they're just like, well, what do I do? So thank you. So for anyone listening, be sure to now explore then just for a couple hundred bucks, seeing what could be there that might. Be keeping you up at night, quite literally.
Yes. Yes. If anybody from this podcast, yes. It's a practical takeaway. 'cause that's all I'm about in my podcast. Yeah. I just want practical takeaways. Yes. I don't want a lot of fluff, but if you hear what I say, I'm saying, you don't have to go to the Chinese medicine practitioner, you don't have to do it.
You could like, I think it's great.
Sure, sure.
But if you want, if you're a person who likes to see like hands-on, face up, I mean, look at. MicroGen dx and look at a sinus test or like an EENT. Like your eyes, nose, and throat.
Yeah.
And then maybe your analysis test and either one, which one resonates with you, and then you'll get some ideas and then, you know, like, what do I do with it?
It's like, no, you have to pick it. You wanna go allopathic or Western and sep. That's the practical takeaway.
Yes. Beautiful. I love that. Thank you. Okay, well, so having said that, I can't wait to hear, 'cause clearly you've thought deeply about your health, your wellbeing, and your sleep. So we ask everyone four questions that come on.
So our first question is, what is your nightly sleep routine looking like right now?
Okay. So, uh, night I try to stop eating, uh, before six 30. That's my night routine. Yeah. And then I do, well, I have. I'll go through some of my supplements. I, I'm trying to think. Make sure your listeners don't get too bored, but
No, I love it.
But I use, um, I'll, I'll do a mixture now. Uh, magnesium Breakthrough Company, bio Optimizers. They have a sleep breakthrough. I've been tested, well, pretty well with that 'cause it has a little bit of gaba. It has a little bit of theanine. Sure. So what I'll do is I'll do a powder theanine. Okay. So I'll do that mixture in a cup of water.
Yeah. I also add, um, this a, a thing called reflux. It's by Silver Fern and it has different, like slippery, it's a gut stabilizer and helps with, you know, mucosal lining. Sure I had a scoop of that in there. And then I've been adding, it's a really long Chinese name, but basically it's a Chinese herb, um, that has.
Like cinnamon base, but basically it's for the kidneys. So it's a powdered combination. So I put all three of those in a cup, stir them up with my frother. I do that and then I take, uh, a, a supplement for my, uh, the blood flow of my heart called hemo guard. And sometimes I'll take nattokinase. So I hope it's Sure filling.
My, my heart. That's the biggest thing. Yeah. Um, the kidney. So I'm doing the kidneys in the heart to help with giving energy to those organs. So I'll sleep through the night. Next thing I do is whenever I, uh, I usually I'll do a, a red, uh, infrared sauna. Yeah. So I'll usually do about 15 to 20 minutes of infrared sauna at night.
I. Uh, depending on which, um, uh, wavelengths I want to use, but normally I just put full spectrum on. Sure. And, uh, then I, I'm trying to think. I usually will rub certain oils on my knees and my feet. I know this is crazy, but I'll, I love it. I'll take, um, to help with, uh, the actual meridians of the legs.
What'll happen is I know at night that, um, the liver, the upper digestion's really gonna be healing. Okay, sure. So I'll take certain essential oils and some of 'em have risso. They help with demal, the body, getting rid of metals. Rub them on my feet.
Mm.
Sometimes I rub them over my liver and then I'll take a magnesium cream and rub it on my legs.
Magnesium cream on my legs. What? That I know it's a lot guys. I'm a, a magnesium cream on my legs, helichrysum based oil on my feet and even over my liver to help with the metal toxicity.
Hmm.
And the final kicker is one of 'em. I will take whatever infections I've been finding that I've been fighting off.
I usually take that herb in the evening. So if I've had Lyme infections or Bartonella or something, that's something that's flaring up, sure, I'll take something like clove or any type of, you know, hutan or some kind of herb. So that is to catch those infections that are come out at night. And the reason being is because a lot of infections come to play at night 'cause your immune system is resting.
Yes.
So
we know that, right? And so that's my risk. So I always throw in the anti-microbials to catch, so I'm just saying use the oil of your choice, maybe do some infrared. Yeah. Uh, some individuals love a good PEMF mat. I'm gonna start incorporating that. So I'm gonna put that where along my low back to help with lower bowel, uh, at night.
So I'm just gonna do that. So that's, and then. To go a little bit further. Everyone out there, like, you can use the essential oils. You could take a bath, you could do salts in the bath. I understand that. That's a good one.
Sure.
But I do spend a lot of times in, in prayers and meditations before. Mm-hmm. I go to sleep and um, I.
And doing a lot of organ talk. Yeah. And so, um, what I usually do is, um, the pressure I feel in the body wherever I feel that there is some kind of physical or mental or emotional hold on my body. I think everybody out there could literally tell me like, yes, I always feel some kind of pressure somewhere.
Like in my shoulder. Yes. Or in my neck. Yes, there could be physical ties to it, but I would ask everybody out there is that when you go to sleep, it's gonna be the time where you should ask your body to reveal like what is this tied to? And then start to practice letting go of it. It really is like letting go of it and breathing through it, and then release.
I always say Release your. Release your bug hole, release that, release your lower abdominal, breathe through your stomach, feel your lungs drop down, expand. Yeah. And you'll pull Q right down through the center of your body and you start to think about that area and you'll start to connect with it. You'll start to push it outta the system.
Mm-hmm. And so that's a very good way. Of releasing like that, that sympathetic response. So those are a lot of my things. Okay. I'm sorry it took a lot of on that one question, but that's my No.
Great. No, I love that. Because actually it's interesting. Now as far as the actual number of recordings, I think we're nearing 300 or so episodes and everyone has had these questions at the end.
But it's interesting. I don't know that I recall many people speaking about as much of that kind of that. Massage and that more tactile, but also utilizing those different, you're layering in and hitting at a lot of benefits. Oh yeah. So that's fantastic. And then also from the, you
need to
right from the physiological and psychological aspects of all of this.
Beautiful. Great. Love it. Did we miss anything else in your evening routine, or is that hit?
I say like with, remember like on the bon fee, you're right. When you do the, the oils on the feet, I always try to use a foot reflex chart, reflexology chart, and I always. Work. Don't overwork, don't like press and hurt yourself, but just massage the areas that have to do lightly massage with kidneys, liver, and gallbladder.
So guys, write that down because there's points on your feet that you know are gonna be tender and they have calluses on them or they get irritated. Yeah. Those are needing from some TLC.
Mm-hmm.
But I do that because it gets blood flowing to the organ and you watch you do that and your body will feel warm and open.
You're gonna be like, oh my goodness, that feels like amazing. So it's kidney, gallbladder, and liver.
Amazing. Yes. Well, and I'll tell you too, the number of people that come our way that they're struggling with wake up throughout the course of the night. It's like one of the most common reasons that people reach out.
So that yes, those different times throughout the night that you're speaking to, it makes all the sense in the world. Beautiful. Okay, so what might we see in your mornings? Sleep routine with the idea that how you start your day can impact your sleep.
I'm gonna tell you, I do have some struggles in the morning because I, I like lately, like if I go to bed earlier, I find myself getting around up right before five and people say, oh my goodness, right before five now, now I'm getting up a lot around lately.
I'll just tell my personal journeys, like I was getting around four 30 and I was doing three 30. It's getting longer. I was getting three, three and four. I wasn't staying up three 30 and four 30. But what was happening was, um. My morning routine was lung time, so my lung was agitated, and so what was happening was I wasn't processing out.
Um, as much grief as I needed to, there was too much sadness in my body that was trying to surface. Yeah. Come to the surface. Yeah. So I would start doing in the morning routine to get back to sleep. It would wake up, I would wake up and if I drank water, you know, I drink a little bit of water to keep a little hydration and then I would go in and I would do that practice breathing through my stomach and trying to feel where my lungs were at and wish where my grief or sadness, and this is how it helped me go to sleep.
Mm-hmm. It helps me identify with the memory. I always ask my body like, can you gimme the memory or the thought that. The grief or the sadness is holding onto or why I'm getting up at this time. You can just ask that. So then my morning practice is to do light meditation or prayers and response to that.
Mm-hmm. I'll start to relax that down. A little bit more. And at times I'll take certain types of cream. Sometimes I have like a CBD cream or I'll take an essential oil and, um, I always, it's, it's always like on my shoulders or my hips, uh, because those are some gallbladder points. Do that. Yes. And then I start to go back to sleep and I usually get up at five, uh, five 15 at that time.
Sure. And my morning routine is. Man, I do have the same routine. I, I am a preacher of habit.
I know it's same,
same. I get up, I make my green tea. I make my green tea concoction. Um, and, uh, sometimes I do a red, uh, infrared song. So guys, when I wake in the morning, the first thing really what you want to do is, as you pray or thought, you can say up and do prayers or thoughts, meditation.
Sure. I like to let my brain ease into it.
Mm.
Um, but. I don't saying you have reward, but I do think that your heart, especially wake up, wants a little bit of like comfort and warmth and so you need to do something that you, uh, enjoy. Some people like to get up and just go hit a exercise and go do that.
Sure, sure. Personally, I don't do that. There's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah.
Um, but I'll do my tea and then I have. A really great plant. My Henry's my plant. I go and give Henry like, oh, you know, I, I, I talk to Henry because there's a lot of energy in that. I love that. Like, it sounds kind of crazy. And then get to sunlight.
I go out in the back. I always listen to birds. So the first thing I go out is when I go out in the back, you see my Instagram, I always do. I go out and listen to birds. I ground, I listen, drink my tv, and then I always take a walk to the mailbox because I'm trying to get energy to flow in my lymph nodes.
Ugh. But overall, like, you know, 'cause you have to go to the restroom. The goal is you need to go, you have to have a bowel movement in the morning. That's the goal. So that's
That's the goal.
That's the goal, yes. And that will help with all your sleep. Because that's why a lot of times people wake up is to have a bowel movement.
Yeah,
absolutely. Oh my goodness. I love that morning routine and the grounding and the birds and the plan. I had no one every morning said that no one has a Henry that they're talking to each morning, thus spar. So I love
that. Oh. He's happy now. He was sad at this other location. I had him, I've got him in there, you know, he's like, he sprouted like three or four new stems.
He is, he's happy. He's
happy. Yes. He's flourishing. Amazing. So good. Okay, so then visually, what might we see on your nightstand or in your environment?
Not much. Okay. So I'm a very, uh, I'm minimalist on that, but I'd say herbs.
Sure.
Um, okay. Nightstand is normally going to be. Mostly antimicrobials and natural inflammatory reducers.
This is cool. So what I do like, there's one called Cissus. So I'm gonna be real specific. Cissus, C-I-S-S-U-S. Supreme, Supreme Nutrition products creates it. But I'm saying I will find an herbal that's an anti-inflammatory for joints, muscles, and ligaments. So what I do is I try to find an herb that will calm down my liver.
Sure
it could be a milk thistle. Um, I like cissus and what I'll do is I'll take that, like usually I, when end the night or something, I will, if I feel like in my heart of hearts I'm like, I feel like I'm a little tired or tight, I take two of those. Mm. And that starts to nourish the body and get the body outta inflammation.
Some other people do glutathione at night. Yeah. Those are the things I find on mine. Always a glass of water. Um. I make sure as dark as I can get it. Um, I try to, I have not on my nightstand, but right over there I have like a really cool Jasper.
Oh, great
air purifier.
Yes. I was just talking to Mike from Jasper, literally
next.
Yeah.
So yeah,
it's so great. I got that, that's running and I know people say white, but it's not that much white noise.
Yeah.
And I just try to keep much electronics away from me, but girl, I don't really have too much. Uh, I'm trying to think. Reading, sometimes I read my, like I have a Chinese medicine book.
I try to read, I try to like repetition. That's what I try to read. Yes. So that's about it. On that.
Well, that's a great call out. We had, um, one of the sleep coach for the Olympics on two times on the podcast, and one of his big call ups was that you want a lack of novelty in the hours leading up to bed.
So, you know, ensuring that you're not getting a really exciting new book or watching the new. Citing Netflix series or whatever you're doing.
That is
right. Novelty, that's
exactly right.
Is too activating.
It's too much. It's like I always think about the dopamine hits, so I always tell my patients, I'm like, if you feel, of course, pleasure is great, but if you keep, if you have something that keeps making you feel pleasure, it's not a bad thing, but if it keeps you that drive, I said, you better be careful that.
So I was like, if you can, don't keep your iPad, or I don't even have a TV in my room. I, I just, I. Prefer not to. I don't think it's a bad thing. I just, yeah, don't really watch it at night because I just don't wanna get in the habit.
Smart. So that's my, I love that. No, there's so much wisdom in in these answers.
Okay. And then our last question would be, so far to date, what would you say has made the biggest change to your sleep? Or said another way? Maybe biggest aha moment in managing your sleep.
That's a good question, Molly. One of the biggest, like I've noticed that I've slept through the night and I'm not plugging in supplement.
What I did find was, I love a lot of different companies, but I just started to really work on finding herbs that cleaned up the liver.
Yes.
And one of those herbs really goes in and cleans out the liver, cleans out a lot of post or Lyme related infections. And um, so it'd have things like cat's claw or Japanese knotweed.
It'd have hutan. It's like tick immune support. That's one of 'em. It's a really good brand and I'm not plugging that. I'm just saying what I did is I find different ones that I know test well. Kinesiology muscle testing. I'll find something that test well and I will find or. That helps my liver clean out old infections.
And when I take multi herbs, I'm, I'm very cautious about taking multiple herbs, like I'd rather take single ingredients, but that has made my sleep, it's cleaned my joints out and cleaned my liver out quite well. And I'm telling you, if you. Really investigate and don't be afraid of going through the trenches with it.
Yeah. If you take something and it makes you feel sick or tired, like you're like, oh, I feel horrible at night, back off. Don't, don't stop. You know it's working and you're hitting the nail on the head. That's okay. Do it lightly and then you can increase a little bit. But what what will happen is after about three to four weeks, I was noticing my joints were aching like it did in the past.
It was pulling more toxins out, and then I just started sleeping.
Wow.
And you get this for 20 something years. My shoulder and hip popped Molly all the time.
Hmm.
Because I did like martial arts stuff.
Yep.
And it ended up popping anymore. 'cause all the infections that were eating the way the joints probably got cleaned out.
Wow. But it helped my sleep get better. So you have to find an herb. So the practical takeaway guys,
yes.
Herbals that could help your liver clean out. Whether it's a microbe, finding the infection, finding the herb to clean out your liver. 'cause your liver will rest. Yeah, you'll give it enough energy. So those, I'm telling you, it'll, it'll rock your world with sleep.
That's amazing. So well said. So much wisdom and, and as we discussed, I know we could go down many, many different rabbit holes. We could, so I think people are absolutely gonna wanna make sure that they're following you, that they're in your world, work with you, all the things. So what are the best ways to do that?
I'm just, dr motley.com is my website. You can do Dr. Motley or you can spell it out. It's all going in one place. It should be. Yeah. And then at Dr. Motley all spelled out. No, no, Dr. But Dr. Motley on Instagram, uh, YouTube, uh, x uh, uh, Facebook.
Yes.
Things of that sort, you know, and, and TikTok. So, um, I need to post a little more, but it's okay.
But that's where you find not always the
way. Yeah,
yeah. You know, I got some, I've got a little, I have a smaller membership that I think that it's really good community people. We meet every week. We do a live q and a every week in my members. We love, it's like a family. We talk every Wednesday night. We talk about my, my podcast we do.
We go and talk about it. So you can talk with me face to face there. And I'm just at the Ancient Health podcast, so when you're about to be on, so I do that. So it's on Spotify and Apple and such like that. So
that's where
it's at.
Okay, we'll be sure to put all those in the show notes, but thank you so much for the work that you do and for your vulnerability in sharing your own journey.
The ups, the downs, all arounds. And as you pointed to, I also believe that that can be really supportive for people. 'cause then they can see that you're, what's possible, you know? So
Well I appreciate doing that. We're gonna talk about in yours, but. You know, like you, when you find people that you can tell when people are like, when they, you know, we're on podcasts, like you really care.
And I can tell that. So people understand that and that's why that, that helps healing too. So,
yeah.
It's been a good journey, so we're gonna have a great convo. You and I thank you for the great time. This is everybody out there. Thank you so much.
