***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 25th, 2025!***

We’ll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling’ to achieve uncommon results!

This episode reveals the truth about how bad sleep is secretly sabotaging your weight loss, even when you're doing everything else right.

Dr. Scott and Tommy break down why you might be struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts, and it all comes down to one thing most people ignore: sleep. When you don't get enough quality sleep, your body basically fights against you - making it way harder to burn fat and much easier to store it, especially around your belly.

You'll discover why people who get 7+ hours of good sleep have a huge advantage when it comes to losing weight, and how even one terrible night of sleep can mess with your body's ability to handle food properly. The hosts explain how lack of sleep messes with your hunger signals, making you way hungrier the next day while your metabolism slows down - it's like your body is working against you.

But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep. They'll tell you how to set up your bedroom for better rest, when to stop drinking coffee, why eating late ruins your sleep, and how to create an evening routine that helps both your sleep and your weight loss goals.

If you've been stuck at a weight loss plateau despite doing intermittent fasting and everything else "right," your sleep might be the missing piece. This episode gives you the exact steps to turn sleep into your secret weight loss weapon.
