MEMORABLE QUOTES

“If you’re not sleeping, not sleeping really sets people up, metabolically to at the very least not lose weight, and more likely gain weight. It can make you leptin resistant. It can affect your metabolism, so sleep is so important. That’s the foundational place to start.” [17:50] -Melanie Avalon
