28 | Fat Loss Stalled? 3 Reasons Why Skipping Sleep is Sabotaging Your Results


Listen Later

Are you a busy woman in your prime, juggling work, family, and life, yet struggling to lose weight, feel confident, and make progress no matter how clean you eat or how hard you work out? If you’ve been tracking macros and hitting your workouts and still feel tired, overwhelmed, or stuck on a fat loss plateau, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Mindset & Macros, we break down why sleep is the keystone habit for fat loss, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal changes. You’ll discover:

  • How poor sleep slows your metabolism, lowers your resting metabolic rate, and prevents fat loss.
  • The impact of insufficient sleep on hormones, including cortisol, leptin, ghrelin, estrogen, and progesterone, which can sabotage weight loss, increase cravings, and trigger stress eating.
  • Why skipping sleep can make you lose muscle instead of fat, reduce strength, and stall workout progress.
  • Simple, actionable strategies to create your Sleep Sanctuary, improve sleep quality, and support fat loss, energy, and hormone balance.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels, boost your energy, and finally see results, this episode is packed with science-backed insights and strategies for busy women over 35 who want to lose weight, gain confidence, and feel strong.
