Why Poor Sleep Spikes Your Blood Sugar (and the 6-10 Reset That Helps)

Blood sugar still stubborn no matter how carefully you eat? The missing piece might be in your bedroom, not on your plate. Dr. Saunders explains how sleep and blood sugar are tied together, why a rough night can push your numbers up, and the simple evening habits that help your body do its repair work overnight.

Plus, Dr. Saunders answers viewer questions on a variety of health topics including Berberine, CinnaChroma, omega-3 dosing, deep sleep and REM ranges, and heartburn with pre-diabetes.

In this episode, Dr. Saunders covers:

• How stress hormones from too little sleep can make you insulin resistant
• Why too much sleep can also be a red flag, and how sleep apnea fits in
• How eating sugar can wake you up at night
• The 6-10 Reset: stop eating by 6, be in bed by 10, and let your body repair
• Why lying awake in bed is okay (and why worrying about it is the real problem)
• Magnesium, lemon balm, chamomile, melatonin, L-theanine, and glycine for sleep
• Why grazing all day keeps insulin high
• How to support your own GLP-1 naturally with fiber, protein, and fat
