Huberman Lab: Sleep, Hunger, and Metabolism — Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge

Sleep and food don’t just affect each other—they can push you toward weight gain or better metabolic health. In this condensed Huberman Lab episode, Andrew Huberman speaks with Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge of Columbia University about the bidirectional link between sleep science, nutrition science, and recovery. This shorter summary trims the original full-length conversation into a minutes-long listen, highlighting how sleep restriction alters appetite hormones, increases cravings, and can raise daily calorie intake, as well as how diet quality and meal timing shape sleep architecture. You’ll learn why fiber-rich whole foods, adequate protein, and avoiding late-night eating can support deep sleep, insulin sensitivity, and cardiometabolic health.
