  • Ep. 32: Science Snack #4: Insufficient Sleep Undermines Dietary Efforts
    Feb 3 2025

    Struggling with fat loss despite doing everything “right”? Your sleep might be the missing piece.

    In this Science Snack episode, Dr. Suzanne Rutherford breaks down a fascinating study on how sleep deprivation can sabotage fat loss—even in a calorie deficit. Conducted in a controlled metabolic ward, this study found that participants who slept just 5.5 hours per night lost 55% less fat than those who got 8.5 hours—despite identical diets and activity levels. We’ll unpack the science behind why sleep plays a critical role in body composition, hunger hormones, and cravings. Plus, Dr. Suzanne shares real-life strategies for busy women physicians to optimize sleep—even with unpredictable schedules.
