In this episode, we are digging into everything about sleep and offering up tips to get a good night's sleep.So many women that come into our program struggle with it. When I was on those bloody restrictive diets, I also struggled with sleep. Then, over the past two years, when we were trying to conceive, I had so much trouble sleeping. I was so stressed, and I think the stress and emotional stuff are often underrecognized as a problem when it comes to sleep, even causing disruptions when you’re doing everything else right.So, in this episode, Craig and I discuss:➡️What can help you de-stress and sleep better➡️Nutritional and caloric considerations for sleep➡️Calculating your maintenance calories➡️Movement, steps, and sleep➡️Morning and bedtime routines➡️Salt and the stress hormones➡️Tracking sleep➡️How sleep improves performanceLINKSJoin our 7-Day Eat More, Train Less, Get Results ChallengeLearn more about our 16-week Winatlife Accelerator Program: Book your callFollow:Kitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldSHOW NOTES07:00 - What can help you de-stress07:58 - What helps our clients improve their sleep10:48 - How to calculate you maintenance calories12:20 - Tracking and planning ahead and how it can help sleep 13:06 - Stabilising your blood sugar14:10 - Morning routine15:06 - Exercise, daily movement, and steps15:48 - Salt and stress hormones16:57 - Bedtime routine21:29 - Tracking sleep22:47 - How sleep improves performance in the gym 23:50 - How stress and over training affect your sleep25:06 - Taking supplements
