EPISODE 182: Many of my listeners contact me with questions like “I have to eat out because I was traveling, will this ruin my progress?” or “ I’m pregnant and I can’t handle meat right now, how badly am I going to hurt my hormones?” and my answer is always the same: You’re not going to hurt your hormones at all.This is because hormonal balance (as well as hormonal imbalance) comes as the result of long-term habits. And so, eating junk food once won’t ruin your hormones. On the other hand, eating one blood sugar balanced meal once won’t help your hormones either.It’s all about building good habits (and getting rid of bad ones), slowly but surely.Not sure where to start?Well you’re in luck, because this is exactly what I discuss in this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.Are you ready?Let’s dive in. Key Takeaways: Introduction (00:00)Why consistency matters (01:00)What happens when you ignore your hormones (04:53)Why I started paying attention to my health (10:48)How all things build upon each other (13:36)Additional Links & Resources:➡️ (FREE TRAINING) Learn the 3 secrets to balancing your hormones naturally: https://freehormonetraining.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=podcast—🙏 Thank you to Wellnesse for sponsoring this episode!👉 Go to https://wellnesse.com/leah for 20% off your purchase. —⏺ Get your personalized hormone balance protocol:https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/mineral-magic⏺ Learn more about my 6-month hormone reset program: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/hormone-reset-program⏺ Sign up for my coaching program (limited access): https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/private-coaching⏺ Explore all of my favorite products here: https://www.leahbrueggemann.com/favorites—I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.Through the Balance Hormones Naturally podcast, you’ll discover why your cycle is so important to your everyday health and how you can use nutrition to help support the rise and fall of your hormones and finally feel truly amazing.
