In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed clinical psychologist and sleep expert, Dr. Melissa Milanak also known as @drmelissamilanak on IG. We discussed:
- The stages of sleep and how your body heals itself both physically and mentally
- The 4 step process to sleeping soundly through the night
- Why we wake up in the middle of the night and how to fall back to sleep
- For women entering perimenopause or menopause, how our hormones impact sleep and strategies to address this stage
- Supplements and technology/wearables that can improve sleep
- Foods and nutrients that specifically improve sleep
- How sleep helps you gain muscle and recover from workouts
