## Resource

(Part 5 of a series called 'The Mistakes Women in Midlife Make with Their Health') Sleep is one of the most powerful tools for improving hormones, energy, cravings, body composition and brain health, yet it's often the first thing midlife women sacrifice. In this episode, I unpack why sleep is far more than rest, how poor sleep affects fat loss, perimenopause, inflammation and decision-making, and why so many women think they're coping fine on far less sleep than they actually need. If you've been focusing on food, supplements or exercise while overlooking sleep, this episode might change how you think about your health entirely.
