If you’ve ever wondered why your cravings spike after a bad night’s sleep, this episode is for you. Turo Virta breaks down the powerful connection between sleep quality and appetite, revealing how hormone shifts—like increased ghrelin and reduced leptin—trigger hunger, emotional eating, and low energy.

Learn why lack of sleep can feel like a willpower problem, and how simple changes to your evening routine can help you regain control. Turo shares real-life tips and personal stories, including the sleep habits that transformed his own performance and mood.

You'll discover:
– Why sleep deprivation leads to more snacking
– How poor rest messes with your hunger hormones
– What you can do tonight to improve your sleep (and your cravings)
– How to create a calming bedtime routine—even if you're busy or stressed

Ready to take back control? Start with sleep.
