Nutrition: Vitamins, Minerals, and Sleep
Program Overview:
In today’s world, poor sleep is a growing contributor to chronic disease, impacting millions of lives. Traditional solutions like CPAP machines or surgery often fall short, with only about 35% of patients able to tolerate CPAP and many reluctant to undergo surgery. This leaves a significant gap in care—one that dentists, chiropractors, and other healthcare professionals are uniquely positioned to fill.
This course will empower you to become a lifeline for patients struggling with sleep issues. Through cutting-edge medical research, you’ll discover innovative approaches to integrate into your practice, offering personalized sleep improvement packages that resonate with your patients. You will also gain practical knowledge on combining treatments, including over-the-counter (OTC) herbal remedies and vitamin supplements, to make significant improvements in sleep quality and duration.
This course is designed for all healthcare professionals eager to broaden their scope of practice and offer life-changing sleep solutions to their patients. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your practice and make a lasting impact on your patients’ health and well-being. Register now to secure your spot!

Amy Dayries, DMD
Dr. Amy Dayries has practiced Integrative and Aesthetic Dentistry in Roswell, close to where she grew up, since 1996. Dr. Dayries graduated from the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry, and Emory University, where she majored in chemistry for her undergraduate work.
Dr. Dayries is passionate about smile design, health, and nutrition. She prefers to take a natural, holistic, and biologic (integrative) approach to care when possible. Patient health and satisfaction are her ultimate goals. Dr. Dayries has focused her family practice on dental function and aesthetics such as bonding and veneers for years, but she has also developed an appreciation that elements and compounds compatible for one patient may aggravate sensitivities or allergies in another. She realizes that appreciating and educating herself about the overall health of her patients is a large part of helping a patient obtain his or her most radiant and aesthetic smile.
Her own personal experiences with lead and mercury toxicity as well as her experiences as a mother and Girl Scout Leader sparked Dr. Dayries’ passion for nutritional counseling and the herbal arts. She often recommends lifestyle choices as part of a regimen to improve oral and systemic health to patients. In recent years, Dr. Dayries has been the only dentist in the Atlanta area to offer several types of functional orthodontic appliances.
Stasha Gominak, MD
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 a 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. Four years later, 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 neurology practice to have more time to teach. She currently divides her time between helping individuals, through virtual coaching sessions and teaching clinicians and coaches how to use RightSleep® concepts to improve their patients’ health and well being.
