Episode 237: Your Hormones Are Not The Real Problem - with Becca Chilczenkowski

For years, women have been told the answer is simple: Eat less. Exercise more. But what if that's exactly what's keeping you stuck?In this episode of Empowered in Health, Erin sits down with hormone expert Becca Chilczenkowski, co-founder of FitMom, to unpack why so many women in midlife experience stubborn weight gain, fatigue, bloating, poor sleep, hormone imbalances, digestive issues and burnout - even when they're doing everything "right."Becca shares her own journey from Elite CrossFit Athlete to functional health practitioner after years of overtraining, under-fueling, losing her menstrual cycle, struggling with fertility, and ultimately discovering that hormones are only one piece of a much bigger picture. Together, we explain why:• Hormones aren't the root cause.• Chronic stress changes how your body responds.• Under-eating can drastically slow progress.• Overtraining can leave you inflamed instead of fit.• Digestion, sleep, nutrition, liver health and your environment all influence your hormones.• Healing requires creating safety - not more restriction.If you've been frustrated that your body no longer responds the way it used to, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening and where to begin.🔗 Connect more with Becca here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehormonequeen/Website: https://fitmom.co/Listen to full episode on YOUTUBE here:If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.
