The Sleep Gummy Trap.
Why working adults can’t think clearly, and the 3-step reset that actually works.
If you rely on sleep aids at night and caffeine to function during the day, this webinar is for you. In just 90 minutes, Dr. Sandy Risoldi will break down what’s happening in your brain and walk you through the exact steps to reset the cycle without wrecking your sleep.

If any of this sounds uncomfortably familiar.
This webinar is for the person who used to be sharper, who delivers anyway, and who quietly suspects something is off. You’re not imagining it. It’s a pattern — and patterns can be interrupted.
You wake up already anxious — before you’ve checked your phone or thought about work.
You take a gummy, an edible, or melatonin most nights — and you’ve told yourself it’s temporary.
By 2:30 PM you hit a wall. Brain fog, reread the same email, reach for the third coffee.
You’ve started to wonder if it’s adult ADHD, perimenopause, or “just getting older.”
Your sleep is eight hours on paper — and you still wake up feeling like garbage.
You snap at people you care about over things that shouldn’t matter, then beat yourself up.
This is not weakness. This is not “anxiety disorder.” This is a dysregulated stress response — and it has a physiological explanation.
A sleep gummy isn’t fixing your sleep.
It’s sedating you. Those are two different things — and your brain knows the difference even if you don’t. The lights went off in the building, but the cleaning crew never showed up.
Sleep is not unconsciousness. You can be out for eight hours and still wake up cognitively in the red.

Meet Our Practitioner
Dr. Sandra Risoldi
DNP, MSNEd, A-APRN, PMHNP-BC, FMACP
Dr. Sandy Risoldi, the founder of Risoldi Wellness, is a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in helping high-performing adults—the capable individuals who always deliver but now find themselves running on empty. Her patients often rely on caffeine to power up and cannabis gummies to shut down, trapped in a cycle that was meant to be temporary but has become their new baseline. Her approach is grounded in the truth that morning anxiety is not random; it is a pattern that can be changed once it is understood.
What you’ll actually walk away knowing.
This is not a wellness pep talk. It’s a clinical breakdown — the conversation no one’s having with you, delivered in the order it has to be heard.
01
The cold open — why your psychiatrist won’t fix this.
Why a 15-minute med check can’t catch this loop, and why “just push through” is the most expensive piece of advice you’ve been given.
02
Sedation vs. sleep — the distinction that changes everything.
What THC actually does to REM, why “I slept 8 hours” isn’t the metric that matters, and the rebound effect no one warned you about.
03
The downstream damage.
Morning anxiety, stalled weight loss, caffeine dependence, and the “fake ADHD” pattern showing up in half of new patients.
05
A composite case — off two psychiatric meds in six months.
A 42-year-old director on Adderall, bupropion, and a 10mg nightly gummy. What we measured, what we changed first, what changed last.
06
Live Q&A.
Your questions, answered. The most-asked: how to stop a nightly gummy without your sleep falling apart for two weeks.
Get out of the loop.

Before you sign up.
Is this really free?
Yes. The webinar is free. There’s no card required to register. Attend live and you’ll also receive a bonus — the first-step reset protocol Dr. Sandy runs before she’ll touch a sleep medication. That bonus is live-only.
Is this for me if I don’t use cannabis gummies?
Yes. The “sleep gummy” is the most visible version of the loop — but the same pattern applies if you use melatonin, prescription sleep aids, alcohol, or any other nightly shut-down tool. The mechanism is the same. The reset is the same.
Will you tell me to stop everything cold turkey?
No. This webinar is not about white-knuckle quitting — which is how most people fail. The whole point of Measure → Rebuild → Taper is that you don’t pull anything out from under yourself until the rebuild is real.
Will there be a replay?
A short replay window will be available to registrants. But the Q&A and the live-attendee bonus are live-only. The most useful 30 minutes of the training tend to be the questions.
What if I can’t make May 27?
Register anyway. You’ll get the replay link when it’s available, plus first access to the next live training date.
Is this medical advice?
No. This is educational content. Nothing in the webinar should be used to start, stop, or change any medication or supplement on your own. If you want clinical care, the application link to work with Dr. Sandy will be shared on the call.
This webinar is educational and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Do not stop or change any medication without guidance from your clinician. Patient examples shared in the training are composites and do not reflect any single individual.
