Affiliate Webinar Handout, April 2025: Sleep, Stress and Nutrition

This month we teamed up with Leapfrog Remedies to talk about Stress, Sleep, and Nutrition, and how they intersect on our wellness journeys. 

The Role of Nervous System Regulation

When addressing health from a holistic perspective, sleep, stress, and nutrition are deeply intertwined. But before tackling any of them individually, nervous system regulation (NSR) is the foundational first step.

NSR builds adaptability: it helps people become more comfortable with discomfort, which is key to long-term well-being. NSR isn’t just a calming tool, it’s a core pillar of health.

The most effective long-term solution is learning to bounce back stronger from challenges, by building anti-fragility.

How NSR Supports Nutrition & Supplementation

Increased vagal nerve tone (VNT) improves the efficacy of supplements and gut therapies. Sensate acts as a co-pilot on the wellness journey, offering patients support alongside nutritional plans. When combined with sleep and gut health, NSR enhances the body's capacity to heal, absorb, and restore.

Think of wellbeing like a table! It needs strong legs to stand on:

• NSR (with Sensate)

• Sleep health

• Gut health

• Nutritional guidance

Sensate empowers patients to feel more resilient, better regulated, and supported every step of the way.

Why Is Everyone Talking About Cortisol?

Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone – essential, but when chronically elevated, it wreaks havoc on sleep, focus, mood, immunity, digestion, and even metabolism.

Anxiety levels are at an all time high. The World Health Organization reports that Covid-19 triggered a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide. In a world of infinite scrolling, pings, and perpetual notifications, we don’t know how to relax.

The “nervous system reset” is trending – people are hungry for natural, non-pharma ways to feel calm, clear, and in control but also able to relax. From TikTok trends like #cortisolface to health podcasts discussing stress-tracking, awareness of stress management has increased. And global searches for breathwork have increased by 75% in the past five years, according to Google Trends.

How Lactoferrin & Lactium Calm The Nervous System

At Leapfrog, we focus on science-backed nutrients that support the body’s stress resilience system – not sedating (like so much medication)  but balancing & adaptive. Our products centre around two powerful bioactive proteins: Lactium® and Lactoferrin.

SNOOZE was created to calm the nervous system and support sleep, without grogginess. The key ingredient: Lactium®, a milk-derived peptide calms the nervous system by increasing GABA activity and reducing cortisol. Think of it as “nervous system nutrition” – helping the body unwind by dialling down the stress response.

While SNOOZE works with the body’s night-time recovery rhythm, FOCUS is designed for daytime stress resilience. 

Also powered by Lactium®, alongside other ingredients (like L-theanine and Lactoferrin), FOCUS helps with:

• Reducing background anxiety

• Supporting mental clarity and concentration

• Keeping cortisol spikes at bay during demanding tasks

It’s perfect for people looking to feel sharp without feeling wired or jittery – a natural edge for work, parenting, and focus-heavy days. Can be a great replacement for coffee too.

At Leapfrog, we’re excited by the intersection of nutrients and nervous system regulation — combining the power of supplements with calming practices to promote resilience from the inside out.

Whether it’s a chewable calm moment with SNOOZE, or a clarity boost from FOCUS, our products are designed to work alongside Sensate, offering layered, gentle support for your stress response.

In this Webinar we explored:

• Anti-fragility and equipping the body to handle stress (NSR)

• Sensate, the co-pilot on your nutritional journey

• The Leapfrog approach, nutrients that speak to the nervous system

• Your experiences!

On behalf of the Sensate Partners Team, a big THANK YOU to Emma Davies (lead Nutritionist at Leapfrog) and the whole Leapfrog Team- we are so grateful to you; and we would also like to thank everyone who signed up, we cannot wait to see you next time!
