Sleep

Eating right and exercise are two of the most basic factors that can influence weight loss and help maintain a healthy weight. However, for many people, hormones can also play a significant role in managing your weight. If your hormones are unbalanced, you may not achieve the results you expect.

What you eat can affect many areas of your health from your mood to how well you sleep.

Stress is an unavoidable fact of life. Fortunately we have physiologic systems in place to help us cope in our response to stress. When our bodies are under stress, our adrenal glands produce hormones in order for us to respond to the stress. 

A lack of sleep affects just about everything in your body and mind.  Inadequate sleep increases the risk for many health issues such as: diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer.
