Main Points From Today’s Episode
Poor sleep is the biggest culprit behind hunger. Just one sleep-deprived night can knock your hunger hormones out of whack and make you more insulin resistant. The key to staying full is the “satiety trifecta.” That includes protein, healthy fats, and fiber. When incorporating fasting into your healthy eating routine, remember that hunger equals younger. That’s because fasting triggers a cellular detoxification process called autophagy, which is anti-aging and good for longevity.
