The Biggest Blindspot Impacting Your Hormone Balance | Ep. 124
Description
Hi, I'm Bridget! Women's Hormone Coach, Functional Hormone Specialist, and the host and founder of I'm Hormonal.
You're doing everything right - tracking macros, meal prepping, hitting the gym religiously. So why do you feel exhausted, bloated, and like your period has gone MIA? Here's the plot twist: the problem isn't what you're eating, it's how much you're NOT eating.
Most high-achieving women are unknowingly starving their hormone production. When you undereat, your body goes into survival mode - cortisol spikes, digestion shuts down, and period production gets put on the back burner. Your body literally can't afford to make a baby when it thinks you're in a famine.
In this episode, we're breaking down:
- Why your "clean" 1,200-calorie diet is actually sabotaging your hormones
- How undereating creates the perfect storm for PCOS symptoms and blood sugar chaos
- Why you need way more fat and protein than you think (and no, it won't make you gain weight)
- The simple 3-day tracking method I use with clients to uncover their eating patterns
- Real client stories of women who saw changes in their periods after just weeks of adjusting their nutrient intake
