The Hidden Hormonal Cost of Women’s Poor Sleep (Weight + Sleep Relationship Explained) with Alanna McGinn

In this episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re diving into one of the most neglected yet essential pillars of health: sleep. I’m joined by sleep consultant Alanna McGinn, owner of Good Night Sleep Site and host of This Girl Loves Sleep, to unpack why women experience sleep differently than men and how hormones, stress, technology, and lifestyle all shape our nights. We’ll break down the biggest sleep myths, the dos and don’ts of building a strong bedtime routine, and the surprising ways sleep interacts with diet and weight.
