About This Episode
If you’re constantly tired, stressed, and struggling with blood sugar despite doing everything “right,” chronic stress and poor sleep may be the real problem.
In this episode, Dr. Beverly Yates sits down with rest coach Karen Brody (Daring to Rest) to explain how sleep, cortisol, and intentional rest affect insulin resistance, food cravings, and diabetes burnout.
You’ll learn why rest is different from sleep, how Yoga Nidra helps regulate the nervous system, and why an early bedtime can dramatically improve hormone balance and blood sugar control.
