    Can you trust that healing is still happening—even when you can’t see it?

    2025/08/31

    Hey friend,

    Have you ever wondered why your metabolism feels stuck, no matter what you eat or how much you move?

    Could poor sleep be the hidden reason your body is storing energy instead of burning it?

    In this episode, I share how poor sleep directly impacts insulin resistance—and why that makes your metabolism feel like it’s slowed to a crawl. We’ll talk about how stress hormones, deep sleep, and hunger hormones are all tied to your ability to burn energy, and I’ll give you four simple, doable sleep habits you can start tonight to support your metabolism.
