Tired of waking up at 2 a.m. for no reason?

Exhausted even after what should have been a full night of sleep?

Doing “all the right things” to lose weight—but the scale won’t move?

If you’re a midlife woman struggling with poor sleep, stubborn weight, and low energy, this episode will finally help you connect the dots.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason sleep and weight loss are so deeply connected in midlife. You’ll learn how unstable blood sugar and insulin resistance can disrupt your sleep, raise cortisol, and slow your metabolism—often without you realizing it. I’ll also explain why just one night of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance for up to 24 hours, and why that creates a cycle that makes fat loss feel impossible.

Most importantly, I’ll show you where to start so you stop pushing harder and begin supporting your body in the right order.

If you’ve been blaming yourself for weight gain, fatigue, or restless nights, this conversation will bring clarity—and relief.
