Sleep isn’t sexy? On the contrary!
Shawn Stevenson, bestselling author and creator of The Model Health Show – and easily the smoothest voice in podcasting – tells us the one thing that we’re not doing to improve performance, fat loss and life in general.
And it’s NOT exercise or diet.
Did you know that research proves that – all else being equal – a consistent lack of sleep is the #1 fat loss inhibitor in adults? Shawn knows, and he’s here to break it down for us.
What we talk about in this episode:
