Episode 239- How Poor Sleep Blocks Weight Loss and Fuels Insulin Resistance with Jill McRae

f you're stuck in a cycle of poor sleep, cravings, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain, this episode is for you. I sat down with Jill McRae, co-founder of Inactive Co., to dive into the often-overlooked link between sleep and insulin resistance—especially for midlife women battling hormone chaos.

We explore how modern life disrupts your natural sleep-wake rhythms and what it really takes to restore deep, healing rest without pills or complex protocols. Jill shares powerful insights from the Sleep 7 Playbook, a faith-rooted and biology-based approach to resetting your nervous system and supporting your metabolism through rest.

Whether you're dealing with adrenal fatigue, high cortisol, or a constant "wired but tired" feeling—this episode will bring clarity and practical tools for transformation.
