Join Nisha Kuruvadi, an internal medicine physician, as we explore the intriguing connection between sleep and weight loss. Did you know those precious hours of sleep could be more than just rest? Sleep is a complex interplay of hormones, brain waves, and bodily functions that regulate appetite, metabolism, and energy balance—vital factors in weight management. We’ll uncover how sleep deprivation affects hunger hormones, stress levels, and metabolism, leading to weight gain and health issues.

Nisha Kuruvadi is an internal medicine physician.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “How quality sleep can be your secret weapon for effective weight loss.”
