We know sleep is great for our overall wellness, but many people don't realize how vital it is to weight management. Clinical psychologist Dr. Candice Seti is an acclaimed author and weight management specialist. She dissects the intricate connection between sleep, eating habits, and weight control.
Dr. Seti articulates the crucial role of quality sleep in replenishing our energy levels and reducing food cravings, notably for high-calorie junk food. Quality sleep makes us feel more satisfied with our meals and more inclined to choose healthier food.
We also dive into the fascinating world of hormones and how inadequate or poor-quality sleep disrupts the delicate balance of hormones that regulate our appetite. An imbalance can lead to a false perception of hunger, resulting in overeating. Lack of sleep can also impair our hormones' ability to signal satiation, causing us to overeat.
Our fast-paced lifestyles, ever-present technology, and the resulting exposure to blue light all contribute to the growing problem of poor quality or disturbed sleep. This conversation aims to shed light on the importance of sleep health and provide useful insights into weight management strategies.
