TMHS 149: Why Great Sleep Is The Ultimate Fat Burner

Today is a very, very special day! My new book Sleep Smarter is now available nationwide and we couldn’t be more excited.

The excitement and joy is so high because we are bringing one of the most vital, yet overlooked components of health and well-being to the hearts of the masses. From brain function, to heart health, to fat loss, the quality of your sleep impacts it all. And as you’ll discover in Sleep Smarter, not only is sleep a major player in the way you look and feel, it just might be the #1 thing influencing the results you see in the mirror each day.

This special launch day episode dives specifically into this topic to uncover why sleep is the ultimate fat burner. Today you’re going to be equipped with some huge takeaways that will last you a lifetime and support you on your mission of being the healthiest, fittest version of yourself.

  1. Hey Shawn…great content as always!! I’ve been telling people about the importance of sleep as well….and they don’t get it! Everything you mentioned in this episode validates my argument.

    The end of the shoelaces are called “aglets”.

    Thanks for all you and Jade do for the health community!

  3. Hi Shawn,

    It was a pleasure meeting both you and your wife at your book signing event in LA.
    I didn’t know the venue would be so intimate that everybody had a chance to talk to you in person. You were just as informative and real in person!

    In the midst of launching my online Kimchi course, I finally had a chance to read your updated Sleep Smarter book this weekend. I was thrilled to find out that there are a lot more updated contents in the book than the first one you published.

    I especially love chapter 7, talking about gut health and sleep. I’ll stick to my 40 Lbs a year kimchi eating to have all that good probiotics to sleep smart =)

    Congratulations again on the updated “Sleep Smarter”.

    Cheers,

    Your virtual student Sun aka Hungry Gopher
