#91 - Hormonal Health w/ Laurie King

Today I’m joined by Laurie King. I’ve been following Laurie for quite some time so I was really excited to get into this episode. Laurie is a nutrition coach who decided to pursue a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics after her own battles with an eating disorder and an under-active thyroid. Laurie decided to pursue this degree not only to remedy her own issues with eating but to put herself in the position to be able to ensure that others would never be in her position with her relationship with food. Laurie focuses on how to eat in a way that supports overall health and a balance of hormones without the need for medication. This was a conversation that I was constantly learning throughout and one that I really enjoyed. In today’s episode, we talk about how Laurie got started in nutrition coaching, hormonal health, how imbalances come about, high-intensity training and hormonal health, the symptoms of hormone imbalance, and much more.Show notes(4:54)- How did you get into nutrition coaching?(8:35)- “The best coaching comes from what you’ve already experienced”(13:08)- Hormonal health and food interactions(20:50)- Impact of hormonal birth control(22:42)- What to know about female hormones(24:44)- High-intensity fitness and hormonal health(33:20)- Stress and imbalances(37:08)- Forms of stress and formal issues(40:40)- Thyroid health and irregular periods and symptoms of hormone imbalances(42:24)- Education drives success(51:00)- Prioritizing body composition vs. hormonal health(52:55)- Repairing hormonal health(1:04:50)- If you had to start from scratch with $500 and a laptop, what would you do with it?(1:05:48)- If you had a couple of billion dollars and a staff of top thinkers, what would you do with it?(1:09:05)- Can you think of a time in your life where you had to take a leap and you didn’t know what was going to happen?👋🏽  Connect Laurie:Website: https://www.lauriechristineking.com/Instagram: @lauriechristinekingConnect with me:Habit Chess Newsletter: https://geni.us/VU0ptPod Mahal book on Amazon: https://geni.us/16YofIWork with me: https://geni.us/C1qB3DaGet in touch: https://geni.us/gBtz
