Episode Details

You are working out and eating well, but the scale will not budge. If you have also been running on five hours of sleep and treating rest like something you fit in after everything else gets done, this episode is for you. Sleep and fat loss are more connected than most fitness conversations let on, and we break down exactly what is happening in your body when sleep is consistently cut short.

The conversation covers the hormonal picture behind stalled fat loss, why women specifically struggle to protect their sleep, and the practical systems that make better sleep actually stick in a real life with kids, work, and a full mental load.

If tired has started to feel like your baseline, it doesn't have to be.
