In this episode, we address a listener's concern about whether years of dieting and intermittent fasting have affected her hormones.
The term 'hormone balancing' is widely used in wellness marketing, but it often lacks specificity and can be misleading. Despite its frequent use, true hormonal imbalances are serious medical issues that can impact various aspects of health, including metabolism, menstrual cycles, bone density, blood pressure, and fertility. If you're experiencing symptoms like irregular sleep, intense cravings, or irregular periods, you're not alone. We're here to help clarify what's really going on with your hormones.
