Eating to Sleep and Sleep to Cure Cravings

A good night's sleep is the holy grail for many of us, especially women because it’s so responsive to our hormone fluctuations. In our modern society in general, men and women, on average, are lucky to get 6 hours of sleep a night, despite recommendations of 7-9. 73% of Americans get less than 7 hours of sleep a night according to a 2023 Gallup poll.They say we sleep ⅓ of our life. Sleep is the key to stress management and the first thing we lose when we’re under stress. But did you know it’s also integral to a healthy metabolism and hormone balance throughout our lifetime?

If you’ve ever felt the frustration of mystery “overnight” weight gain or doing everything right and not getting the results you’re after. Or struggled to find a good night sleep in spite of exhaustion. This is the episode for you. Our work IN today is a look at the link between sleep and cravings and how we can leverage the gut brain communication pathways to reset our metabolism AND get more restful restorative sleep.
