Click here to text us!Struggling with stubborn weight gain, low energy, or middle-of-the-night awakenings in perimenopause or menopause? Your sleep may be the missing piece.On this episode of the Vibrant Menopause Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Audrey Wells, a board-certified sleep doctor, menopause-certified clinician, and obesity medicine specialist, to unpack why sleep problems are so common—and so overlooked—in midlife women.We talk about why women’s sleep disorders often go undiagnosed, how poor sleep quietly drives weight gain, cravings, muscle loss, and fatigue, and why “doing all the right things” with food and exercise still isn’t enough if your sleep is disrupted.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why sleep issues are often an early sign of perimenopauseThe powerful connection between sleep, metabolism, and weight lossHow untreated sleep problems sabotage energy, mood, and fat lossWhen to advocate for a proper sleep evaluationIf weight loss feels harder than ever and you’re exhausted despite your best efforts, this conversation will help you understand it’s not a willpower problem—it’s physiology.🎧 Listen in to learn how prioritizing sleep can support your metabolism, energy, and long-term health in perimenopause and menopause.Show Notes:✨ Grab my FREE doctor-approved breakfast guide at vibrant-md.com/breakfast to start supporting your metabolism from the very first meal of the day.Ways to Connect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherawadmd/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherawadmd/Website: https://www.vibrant-md.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8ksjIG1j7eIRttczBE1o2QFind Audrey at www.sliiip.com...Want to know your two next best steps to watch the number on the scale go down?
