Episode 52: [The LOdown] How to Structure a Day of Eating for Best Hormonal Response Feb 21, 2024

How to Structure a Day of Eating for Best Hormonal Response

Welcome to our brand new podcast series, LOdown with Lo. LOdown’s will be happening every two weeks on the Strength in Hormones Podcast. These will be solo episodes with me where we will chat about practical strategies and functional solutions to support hormone healing.

In today’s first LOdown we talk about How to Structure a Day of Eating for Best Hormonal Response. We discuss the role of eating structure as it relates to our endocrine (hormone) system as a whole and then more specifically as it relates to hormones like: cortisol, insulin, thyroid, and progesterone. Although, for many women, hormone imbalances don’t happen in insolation. Our entire hormone system is connected through our hypothalamus-pituitary axis. Because of this interconnection, each hormone influences one other. That’s why in our practice, it’s not unusual to see women experiencing thyroid imbalances while also experiencing issues with cortisol, insulin and progesterone levels. We can identify your exact hormone levels with our advanced hormone testing packages and 1:1 coaching. Then with this information, we will provide you with personalized nutrition, professional grade supplementation and lifestyle recommendations to rebalance levels and help you thrive again.

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇

How your daily eating structure impacts cortisol, thyroid, insulin and hormone levels
Should women fast? Fasting and hormones explained.
Maximizing insulin sensitivity when you eat carbs
The number one mistake most women make with plate composition
Why protein timing is critical to hormones
The problem with most “healthy snacks”

I am so happy to have Eliza Gellman on the show to talk about moving from macros to eating for holistic health.

If you are currently following a numbers focused macro eating plan and know that there could be a better way of nourishing your body - this episode is for you.
