We discuss a question from a listener, "can poor sleep really cause weight gain and diabetes, even if I eat healthy?" There are so many factors to consider, when looking at sleep and health .

Today, Rob and Sandra review the hormone disruptions with poor quality sleep that may affect your blood sugars, appetite and cravings, plus negative inflammatory processes in your gut and skin. This is an important one to listen to for help with better sleep.
