Do You Know What’s Driving Your Hormone Symptoms? Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

You used to be able to fall asleep before your head hit the pillow.

Now? You’re wide awake at 2 am, drenched in sweat, and wondering why your jeans are  getting tighter by the week.

Poor sleep in midlife isn’t just annoying.

It’s hormonal. And it could be the reason your body’s hanging onto fat.

In this week’s episode, I’m walking you through how sleep affects metabolism after 40, what your hormones are (supposed to be) doing while you sleep, and why fixing your sleep is often the first step to fat loss in perimenopause.

In this episode, I’ll answer your most-asked questions, including:

✅ Can poor sleep cause weight gain in midlife?

✅ What hormones are released while I sleep?

✅ How does sleep affect metabolism in midlife?

✅ Why do I wake up craving carbs after a bad night’s sleep?

✅ Does sleep really burn fat—or is that a myth?

✅ How does sleep affect blood sugar and insulin resistance?

✅ Can a hormone imbalance cause insomnia or leg cramps?

✅ How does improving sleep help with weight loss?

If you’ve been blaming your metabolism for weight gain while ignoring your sleep—this episode is for you. 🎧
