INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Sleep might be doing more for your metabolism than your diet is.
Not because food doesn't matter.
Because sleep sets the terms your food operates under.
A rough night can change insulin sensitivity, hunger, cravings, stress hormones, and even your ability to make the food choices you planned to make the next day.
And if you're one of those women who falls asleep exhausted... only to suddenly snap awake at 3:00 AM with your brain running through every problem you've had since 2019?
This video is for you.
I'm breaking down the connection between sleep, blood sugar, cortisol, insulin, cravings, and that incredibly frustrating 3:00 AM wake-up—and why fixing your night may actually start with how you're feeding yourself during the DAY.
In this video you'll learn:
• Why poor sleep can make weight loss harder
• What happens to insulin sensitivity after inadequate sleep
• Why a bad night can make you crave sugar the next day
• The connection between cortisol and waking up wired
• Why the 3:00 AM wake-up may be connected to blood sugar
• How menopause can make an existing pattern more noticeable
• Why your sleep problem and food problem may actually be one loop
• Three simple ways to start interrupting that loop
• Why breakfast and dinner both matter for sleep
• What early signs of improvement can look like before the scale changes

Hi, I'm Erin Power.
I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), and I've spent nearly 30 years in the fitness industry helping people improve their health.
I work with women 45+ who are exhausted from dieting harder, eating less, exercising more, and wondering why their bodies aren't responding the way they used to.
My approach is different.
Instead of giving you another complicated diet to follow, I help you understand the signals your metabolism is responding to—from food and satiety to sleep, stress, blood sugar, and your everyday lifestyle.
Because your metabolism responds to signals, not math.
Here you'll learn how to reduce food noise, improve metabolic health, rebuild trust with your body, and lose weight without spending the rest of your life obsessing over food.
