#121: Improve your sleep for health, fitness, and fat loss

Are you struggling to hit your health or fitness goals despite doing “all the right things”? In this solo episode of the Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I chat about the powerful role that sleep plays in transforming your health, boosting fitness, and supporting fat loss - often more than diet or exercise alone!

I talk about how sleep impacts everything from hunger hormones and stress levels to daily decision-making and emotional resilience. You’ll learn why optimizing your sleep isn’t just a “nice to have” - it’s a non-negotiable for long-term wellness. Plus, I share simple, practical strategies to help you build a consistent, healthy sleep routine - even when life gets busy. Whether you're tired of feeling tired or curious about sleep's hidden impact on your progress, this episode is your wake-up call!
