So the Journal of Pineal Research found that melatonin increases your mobilization of something called brown adipose tissue or brown fat. And this is a type of fat that actually burns fat. That increases your metabolism. Yes. And the reason it's brown versus the white adipose tissue is kind of the stuff we think about when we're trying to get rid of fat.

Brown adipose tissue is brown because it's so dense in mitochondria, right? These kind of energy power plants. I know you've talked about many times on the show, but it's such a metabolically active tissue. And so if you're not getting adequate sleep, you're not producing that hormone, nor you get your greatest secretion of human growth hormone during sleep.

hair hormone kids have so much hgh this is why they have so much energy it's muscle sparing and also it's a big component of you healing and recovering and so you're missing out on that and cortisol that's another one so if you're sleep deprived one of the very first things we see is an increase in your cortisol levels that's the stress hormone exactly exactly and cortisol has this interesting ability to literally break down the muscle that you're working so hard to build it's terrible

gluconeogenesis the process called gluconeogenesis break down your valuable muscle tissue and turn it into fuel because it's this stressed hyper alert cautious dangerous state your body thinks you're in because you're sleep deprived and i can go on and on i'll show one share one more stop for there i always say stress is is is bad because when you have high cortisol it does everything you don't want right it shrinks your memory center your brain causes alzheimer's

Yeah, and I even focused on that as well because a lot of folks have what we call clinically just a lot of inner chatter. The brain is a very vocal and kind of noisy organ. And so the great thing is a lot of our needs are met, especially if people are listening to this right now. It's like the crazy ant that lives in your head. Right.

But we have so many things covered in our lives that our ancestors didn't have to worry about. But the human mind is so expansive. So we can manufacture things to worry about. And that worry can push us. And I often tell people, you know, people coming into my clinic that you can overeat your way fat. You can under exercise your way fat or under move your way fat.
