Stephanie Driver on losing weight while you sleep
'If you don't get enough sleep or have a broken night's sleep, your body sends a message to the brain to release the stress hormone cortisol, which encourages the body to store fat. But sleep well, and the body releases a hormone that helps it metabolise fat better.'
Stephanie Driver, naturopath at Apotheke
