EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Peter Attia MD, featuring Peter Attia and Matt Walker, #49–Matt Walker, Ph.D., on Sleep (Part 3 of 3): Effects of poor sleep on metabolism & performance... explores matt Walker Explains How Sleep Loss Disrupts Metabolism, Genes, Appetite, Performance Walker explains that short sleep impairs glucose control on both sides of the equation, with the pancreas releasing less insulin and body cells responding less to it, and a biopsy study showing fat cells needing about double the insulin.
