Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute.

This week, we have a data-rich, sleep-focused masterclass episode for middle-aged women. Drawing on research, physiology, and my own perspective, I connect the dots between hormones, circadian rhythm, and lifestyle habits, highlighting the areas you need to pay attention to.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:



How sleep actively supports growth, immune function, and skeletal and muscular performance




Why people who don’t sleep well tend to be more emotionally charged




How, second to hot flashes, insomnia is one of the most commonly reported symptoms of perimenopause and menopause




How REM sleep differs from non-REM sleep




Why sleep is essential for brain detoxification




How the suprachiasmatic nucleus controls circadian rhythm




Why sleep quality tends to decline in midlife




How poor sleep disrupts metabolic health
