Why does poor sleep lead to weight gain in menopause?

If you're eating well, trying to stay active, and still struggling to lose weight during menopause, your sleep may be the missing piece.

In this episode, we're diving into how sleep impacts weight loss, hormones, and cravings, and why it becomes more disrupted during menopause. You'll learn why poor sleep can increase hunger (especially for sugar), and make your body more likely to store fat, even if your eating habits haven't changed.

We also explore how your circadian rhythm influences metabolism, why menopause-related sleep issues are so common, and what's really happening in your body when you're not getting enough rest.

If weight loss has been feeling harder than it should, this episode will help you understand why, and and give some simple tips to start improving your sleep.
