Corrective Sleep Therapy
How Sleep Cycles Impact Your Overall Health
Whole-body health benefits of sleep:
Thomas Dekker once said: “Sleep is the Golden Chain that ties health and our bodies together.”
And we couldn’t agree with him more. Sleeping is a process that occurs during 1/3 of your life. So, it must be important, right? What if a dysfunction in your sleep was the culprit behind your health problems?
Take a look at what happens during these sleep cycles and see for yourself why sleeping is such a key foundation to your health.
- What happens in Stage 1 of sleep?
NREM Stage 1 -During this stage you can be awakened easily. Your body begins to relax, you are aware of sounds but unwilling to respond, and your reaction time is comparable to intoxication.
- What happens in Stage 2 of sleep?
NREM Stage 2 – At this point you disengage from your surroundings, brain activity slows down and body temperature falls. You enter a state of total relaxation, and you start preparing for deeper sleep.
- What happens in Stage 3 of sleep?
NREM Stage 3 – Here is when the growth hormone is released and your body does most of its repair work, tissue growth and regeneration.
- What happens in Stage 4 of sleep?
NREM Stage 4 – During this stage intense dreams occur. This is the time for your brain to file what is needed vs what is stored away. You are very likely to sleep through noise and movements without showing any reaction.
Why might I need to correct my sleeping patterns?
Quality sleep is the foundation for all other areas of health. Without it your body cannot heal itself, cleanse itself, nor protect itself.
Your diet will be affected by how well you slept the night before. Poor sleep will drive you to seek energy from high calorie foods.
“Sleep is a non-negotiable biological necessity. It is your life-support system.” – Sleep scientist Matt Walker.
Thanks to the beautiful design of sleep, a complex orchestra of physiological reactions works in amazing harmony to keep us alive and thriving. It is because of this marvelous process that our children grow, we regenerate needed new cells throughout our lives, and cleanse our minds and bodies.
Unfortunately, due to stress in the common age, trauma, sports injuries to the head, or structural imbalances in the craniofacial muscles, one or more elements within this process we call “sleep” is thrown out of symphony, making your sleep toxic and ineffective.
The result? Everything in your body goes downhill. You begin to lose mental and physical stamina. Tumors grow. Depression takes over. And rapid cellular decay becomes the new norm.

- As mentioned in the video, what results from sleep divorce?
Sleep divorce can put a wedge in your relationship and make people feel hurt and less loved. Addressing these issues early on is so vital!
- What are circadian rhythms?
A circadian rhythm is a 24-hour cycle in the physiological processes of all living beings. Circadian rhythms are endogenously generated, although they can be modulated by external cues such as sunlight and temperature. For instance, although the lightbulb brought great technological advancements, our health has changed since this invention happened, since it has had an impact on our sleep.
Most people are unaware that when they go to sleep they are not getting enough sleep = not enough oxygen = a struggle for your brain and every cell in your body, this can cause mood disorders, hormonal changes, high blood pressure and so much more! Basically a recipe for disaster!
Protect yourself and those whom you love. Remember that timing is everything! If you are out of sync with our body, your body won’t be able to properly heal and therefore health issues will come up.
People can’t say you have a mild cancer, right? Same with sleeping disorders. There is not such a thing as a mild sleeping disorder. Forget about whoever told you it was mild. Address it now, the sooner, the better!
Making small changes such as going to bed at a fixed time and waking up at the same time every day, including weekends or days off will yield great results. But remember, you are not alone! The Holistic Bio Spa family is here to support you in your journey to a healthier you.

Jodi Bazzul • Facebook review
I have had snoring issues for many years tortured my poor wife. I had heard Julia speak and decided on a consultation and evaluation. She was extremely thorough and professional. After a detailed survey on my part and an office evaluation it was determined that I did not have sleep apnea but only required some strategies that have been extremely successful.

Extremely motivated, energetic and definitely passionate about pain and sleep. I lean on her for advice and at times use her as my sounding board. Everytime I chat with her I get motivated and get a fire lit under me. Glad to be affiliated and have the opportunity to know her as a professional colleague and a great friend.
Mayoor Patel, DDS • Owner of a dental clinic
Julia is highly motivated to helping educate medical doctors, dentists, nurses and other health care providers in recognizing the importance of diagnosing and treating obstructive sleep apnea. This is a serious problem since most medical and dental schools are not teaching about the importance of this life-threatening disorder.
