If your cells are taking in less sugar because they’re resisting insulin knocking at their door to let in sugar, then the cells have less energy to work with.
That sugar is there, and insulin is happily converting it to fat, but your cells aren’t getting it so of course they’re hungry and will keep telling you to eat more until they finally get some.

Testosterone, like Growth Hormone, plays a large role in muscle bulk and strength, as well as fat-burning.
It also helps regulate sex drive, bone mass, fat distribution (as in where the fat is stored), body composition, and the production of red blood cells and sperm.
As it’s the “male” hormone, we see much higher numbers in men than in women, though women still need this just as men still need some estrogen, the “female” hormone.

Sleep is one of the largest factors affecting overall health. In fact, our body would go into shock from lack of sleep before lack of food.
Sleep is when our body is able to do very necessary repairs and recover from the day. Without this recovery time we get “little issues” that build up, starting on a cellular level, and finally showing themselves in fatigue, bad mood, fat gain, muscle loss, heart trouble, toxicity levels, and much more.
You see, sleep is when many of our daytime hormones and processes “simmer down” and other hormones are released, activating very different processes.
