Have you heard that there may be a connection between partial sleep deprivation (getting less that 6 hours a night) and obesity? Getting less sleep is part of our modern lifestyle- we stay up late watching tv or staring at our computer screen, we work early in the morning and late into the night and we’re not taking proper care of our bodies! Natural hormones that tell us if we are hungry (or not) are thrown off balance when sleep is disturbed. For instance, the hormone that tells us to “Eat!” goes up when we are sleep deprived while Leptin, the hormone that tells us we’re full, goes down! Also, stress hormones tend to encourage our appetite for high fat/sugar/salty foods when we are tired. At Lovegrove Health Solutions, we utilize specialized testing and questionnaires to determine your body’s hormone state as well as assessing your sleeping habits. Using this information we custom tailor a program for you to help get the most out of your body! Call today for your free initial consultation!
