You may not be able to diet your way to weight loss. In this episode, you’ll learn how sleep could be the missing link to losing weight and feeling better. Just one night of poor sleep can throw your stress hormones out of balance or increase sugar cravings. I’ll reveal the ideal amount of sleep you need to burn fat (hint: quality and quantity matter), why consistency is key, how to use a “power-down hour” to create calm, and my secret weapon for consistently great sleep. You’ll also learn why exercise timing matters, a simple hack to curb before-bed hunger pangs, the stress-sleep connection, and how to use meditation and gratitude for better sleep. When you fix your sleep, you’ll be able to lose weight, stop weight regain, and be the best fat burner.
