Are you a woman over 40 feeling exhausted, battling stubborn cravings, or frustrated that healthy eating feels like a chore? You're not alone, and it's NOT your fault! As our bodies change, sleep becomes the most foundational element for regulating hormones and managing appetite.
In this episode I sit down with functional dietician Dariella Gonitzke to uncover the profound impact of sleep on your well-being. You'll be amazed to learn how just a few hours less sleep can hijack your hunger hormones, increase cravings, and make healthy choices feel impossible. Dariella breaks down the science behind those disruptive 3 AM wake-ups and how prioritizing rest is key to building energy and supporting your body's natural processes.
In this episode you'll discover:
- The surprising physiological link between your sleep quality and the hormones that control your appetite.
- Why sleep is the ultimate foundation for energy, hormone balance, and even muscle recovery for women over 40.
- The secrets behind managing disruptive night-time hormone surges and what they mean for your metabolism.
- Actionable strategies for creating a sleep sanctuary and optimizing your body's natural rhythms.
- How your daily routines – from morning light to evening meals – can dramatically impact your sleep and hormonal health.
