Dr Wendy Hall, nutritional scientist and Reader at King's College London: When and how you sleep - does it influence your diet?
Wendy completed her PhD (2001) on protein and mechanisms of appetite regulation at the University of Surrey where she stayed for another 2 years to research vitamin E metabolism. Following 3 years as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Reading, investigating cardiometabolic effects of soy isoflavones and unsaturated fatty acids, Wendy was appointed to an academic post at King’s in 2005. Wendy’s research mainly involves dietary interventions, sleep-diet interactions, and their impact on cardiometabolic diseases.
Title: When and how you sleep – does it influence your diet?
Summary: The talk will discuss the importance of the amount, timing, and quality of sleep for cardiometabolic health, and the potential for sleep hygiene interventions to improve diet quality and support adherence to healthy lifestyle interventions. Tackling inadequate sleep as a key lifestyle risk factor may improve health by facilitating adherence to dietary guidelines and supporting weight management.
