You’re working out, eating healthy, and doing all the right things… So why does progress feel so slow?
There’s one major factor that could be holding you back—and many people completely overlook it. It increases cravings, sabotages workouts, slows recovery, and makes it harder to stay motivated.
That factor? SLEEP.
If you’ve struggled with weight loss, felt like your workouts aren't as effective, or wondered why you’re constantly craving junk food, poor sleep might be to blame.
Sleep deprivation impacts metabolism, muscle recovery, inflammation, immunity, motivation, and even how your body stores fat.
In this episode, I break down:
-
How lack of sleep throws off your hunger hormones, making weight loss harder.
-
The connection between sleep, muscle recovery, and workout performance.
-
Why poor sleep makes workouts feel harder and less effective.
-
How to make faster progress toward your fitness goals—without working harder.
If you want to feel stronger, boost workout recovery, and make progress without spinning your wheels, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how sleep could be the missing piece in your health and fitness success.
