Sleep: Your Secret Weapon

What if the biggest thing standing between you and better metabolic health isn't your diet...it's your sleep?

In this episode of Over 40 & Done with Diets, Coach Neil explores one of the most overlooked pillars of health after 40: Sleep & Recovery. You'll discover why poor sleep affects far more than your energy level—it influences your hunger, cravings, stress, hormones, and even your body's ability to burn fat.

Coach Neil explains the roles of cortisol, insulin, ghrelin, and leptin in plain English, shares his own 30-day sleep experiment that completely changed the way he views recovery, and gives you practical steps you can start using tonight.
