About

Could poor sleep be the hidden reason you are struggling to lose weight? Ethan sits down with Paige Dorian to explore the powerful connection between sleep, fat loss, energy, cravings, and overall health. Ethan explains why sleep quality may matter even more than diet when it comes to sustainable weight loss and how poor sleep affects hunger, recovery, movement, and daily habits. They also discuss sleep hygiene, caffeine, hormones, nighttime routines, and practical ways to improve sleep without overcomplicating life.
