Apply to work with me: bit.ly/fixmyhormonesnow Hey friend, Ever stopped to ask yourself… "Why are my hormones suddenly so out of control?" Like, why could you eat whatever you wanted in your 20s or 30s, but now, just looking at a plate of pasta feels like an automatic five-pound weight gain? Or why has sleep become so elusive you’d have better luck finding a lost AirPod in your couch cushions? The truth is: hormone imbalance doesn’t just happen overnight (even if it feels like it.) Aging and shifting hormones play a big role, but there are deeper, underlying factors that help to tip the scales. Today, I’m diving into the six root causes of hormone imbalance in midlife. In this episode, you will learn: ✔ Why your hormones don’t just flip a switch overnight (and what part lifestyle plays in triggering hormone imbalance) ✔ How even one bad night of sleep can negatively impact your metabolism, blood sugar, and hormones ✔ Which sneaky ingredient in your personal care products mimics estrogen and can disrupt your entire endocrine system ✔ Why your go-to workout could be secretly spiking your cortisol, making hormone imbalances worse ✔ The connection between what you eat and how hormones function (Hint: it’s so much more than just eliminating sugar or gluten) ✔ How your gut’s “recycling” system might be putting excess hormones back into circulation in your body If you’re done playing whack-a-mole with your symptoms and want to understand the real root causes of hormone imbalance, this episode is for you. — Next Steps: Think You Might Have A Hormone Imbalance?
