You know the way whenever like we go down to like 10 or 20% on our iPhone battery, it's like, let's go into low power mode and maybe we'll put our phone into like airplane or do not disturb. Well, when the body's not getting enough energy, it's in survival mode." 2. "When someone's emotionally overeating or binge eating, that can actually also impact your estrogen as well. And that can also impact your cycle because whenever you're overeating, you're putting your body under a different type of stress, which impacts insulin, and that therefore impacts your estrogen, and that can also impact your cycles." 3. "The best thing you can do for your hormones is to eat regularly. And that's actually really challenging for a lot of people. And what I mean by eating regularly is I do mean eating every ideally three to four hours."
