Can the secret to shedding those extra pounds be as simple as getting more sleep? In this eye-opening episode, we uncover the intrinsic connection between sleep and weight management. Discover how the balance—or imbalance—of hormones like ghrelin and leptin can make or break your appetite control. We discuss how inadequate sleep disrupts these hormones, paving the way for increased hunger, binge eating, and ultimately weight gain.
But that's not all. We delve into how sleep deprivation spikes your cortisol levels, leading to stress-induced cravings for high-calorie foods. Learn why poor sleep compromises your metabolism, making it nearly impossible to regulate blood sugar and insulin—a key factor in preventing type 2 diabetes. We also explore the cognitive fallout from lack of sleep, touching on how it impairs your decision-making, fueling impulsive eating habits. This episode offers a comprehensive guide on why prioritizing sleep is crucial for anyone serious about managing their weight and overall health.
