Hormones influence nearly every part of your health—including your energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, cravings, and weight. But did you know that the foods you eat every day can either support healthy hormone balance or work against it?
In Part 1 of this two-part series, Chey P and Amy E break down four of the biggest hormones affecting women as we age:
• Estrogen
• Progesterone
• Cortisol (your primary stress hormone)
• Insulin (the hormone that regulates blood sugar)
You'll learn what each hormone does, common signs it may be out of balance, foods that help support healthy hormone function, and everyday habits that may be making things worse without you realizing it.
In Part 2, we'll explore the powerful connection between gut health, inflammation, hormones, and why your digestive system may play a much bigger role in your overall health than you think.
If you've ever wondered why your body seems different after 40, this episode is a great place to start.
