Welcome to part four and the final installment in our hormone series! Today, we are focusing on cortisol and thyroid hormones. Listen in to learn how dieting, fasting, and over-exercising impact these key hormones that control metabolism, appetite, and stress response. You will discover practical tips for managing cortisol levels through nutrition, sleep, and stress management.
