Women's Hormone Coach, Functional Hormone Specialist, and the host and founder of I'm Hormonal. You're doing everything right - tracking macros, meal prepping, hitting the gym religiously. So why do you feel exhausted, bloated, and like your period has gone MIA? Here's the plot twist: the problem isn't what you're eating, it's how much you're NOT eating.Most high-achieving women are unknowingly starving their hormone production. When you undereat, your body goes into survival mode - cortisol spikes, digestion shuts down, and period production gets put on the back burner. Your body literally can't afford to make a baby when it thinks you're in a famine.In this episode, we're breaking down:Why your "clean" 1,200-calorie diet is actually sabotaging your hormonesHow undereating creates the perfect storm for PCOS symptoms and blood sugar chaosWhy you need way more fat and protein than you think (and no, it won't make you gain weight)The simple 3-day tracking method I use with clients to uncover their eating patternsReal client stories of women who saw changes in their periods after just weeks of adjusting their nutrient intakeSupport the showInstagram | imhormonal.com | www.imhormonal.com/book-a-call/
