In this episode of the 21 Day Weight Loss Challenge, I focus on how sleep affects weight loss. I explain that poor sleep can lead to hormonal imbalances, increased appetite and cravings for high-calorie foods, reduced metabolic rate, increased insulin resistance, emotional eating, impaired judgment, and decreased physical activity. I then provide suggestions for improving the sleep environment, such as adjusting light, noise, and comfort in the bedroom, maintaining a comfortable room temperature, implementing a wind-down ritual before bed, and incorporating relaxation techniques like herbal teas and journaling. I also mention the importance of tracking sleep quality and considering hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms. Tune in tomorrow for day 20 of the challenge.
