Main Points From Today\u2019s Episode

  1. 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.
  2. The key to staying full is the \u201csatiety trifecta.\u201d That includes protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
  3. When incorporating fasting into your healthy eating routine, remember that hunger equals younger. That\u2019s because fasting triggers a cellular detoxification process called autophagy, which is anti-aging and good for longevity.
