Sleep is the foundation that determines whether every other health intervention succeeds—or fails.

 

In this 4-week live online course, Dustin Strong explores the true drivers of modern insomnia and reveals why poor sleep is quietly undermining metabolic health, cognition, emotional well-being, and longevity—especially in aging populations. Plus, a Class with Dr. Michael Gaeta on the nutritional factor disrupting sleep.

 

Designed for healthcare practitioners, this course goes beyond sleep hygiene to examine the nutritional, physiologic, and systemic factors that prevent deep, restorative sleep. You’ll uncover the #1 dietary sleep disruptor, the most commonly missing nutritional essentials, and a clear path to helping patients break the cycle of “wired and tired.”

 

The goal is simple:
To provide the most efficient and effective framework for restoring sleep—so everything else in health care can finally make sense.

WHAT WE WILL EXPLORE TOGETHER

Live Online Mondays 4pm PT / 5pm MT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET

FEBRUARY 16 with Michael Gaeta: The Nutritional Missing Link

Identify the #1 dietary and lifestyle factor sabotaging modern sleep. Learn Dr. Gaeta’s proven nutrition, herbal, and lifestyle protocols to reliably support deep, restorative sleep and nervous system recovery.

FEBRUARY 23 with Dustin Strong: The Biological Foundation

Explore the root biology behind the “wired but tired” state, including cortisol dysregulation, circadian rhythm misalignment, and why common calming strategies fail. Learn how sleep orchestrates hormonal balance, the role of vitamin D as a hormone, and how to restore melatonin naturally without relying on exogenous supplements.

MARCH 2 with Dustin Strong: Neurochemistry & Sleep Architecture

Understand how key neurotransmitter pathways (glutamate to GABA, dopamine to norepinephrine, serotonin to melatonin) influence sleep quality and timing. Learn how waking patterns provide critical clinical insight into underlying imbalances.

MARCH 9 with Dustin Strong: The Clinical Protocol

Integrate everything into a clear, step-by-step clinical framework. Walk away with practical tools to identify root causes of sleep disruption and apply targeted interventions immediately with clients.

A Letter from Your Instructors

The Beginning of a Different Conversation

We need to stop looking at the body in pieces. When a patient can’t sleep, we tend to zoom in on the 'insomnia' as if it’s a standalone error. We throw supplements at the symptom and hope for the best.

But the body doesn’t make mistakes. If your patient is 'tired but wired,' their body is telling you a story. It is communicating a metabolic or nutritional reality that we are ignoring.

I am tired of the reductionist approach that separates 'sleep health' from 'overall health.' It is all the same picture. I created this framework to help you stop guessing and start seeing the connections. Let’s look at the whole system—not just the symptom—and finally solve this puzzle.

Returning to the Wisdom of the Body

In both clinical nutrition and Chinese medicine, we look for the 'virtue' of a therapy—its inherent power to heal. Sleep is the ultimate virtue. It is the most powerful, time-tested medicine we have.

Yet, in modern practice, we have lost our way. We try to force sleep with chemistry rather than understanding the rhythm of life itself. We treat the body as if it were a machine to be switched off, rather than a living system that requires safety and balance to rest.

I joined this course because I want to bring us back to the foundational principles that actually work. We need to respect the body’s innate intelligence and give it the resources it needs to do what it has done for millennia: heal, repair, and restore.

Dr. Michael Gaeta
