What They Don't Tell You About Hormones

from Chaos to Calm · host Karen Yaworsky

This week I'm sharing the full breakdown from one of my most recent live trainings — and honestly, it might be the most important conversation I've had yet. If you're in your 40s (or approaching them) and you're gaining weight out of nowhere, exhausted no matter how much you sleep, battling brain fog, cravings that feel out of control, or just not feeling like yourself anymore — this one is for you. What we cover: Why your body has changed (even if you haven't) — the real reason diets and workouts that used to work aren't cutting it anymore Hormones 101 — a plain-English breakdown of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, leptin, ghrelin, and insulin, and exactly how each one is affecting your weight, mood, energy, and metabolism right now The estrogen-insulin connection — why declining estrogen makes your body store fat differently, and what to do about it Your gut and your liver — why these two are the unsung heroes of hormone health (and what happens when they're off) Stress, inflammation, and belly fat — the science behind why stress alone can keep you stuck, even when your diet and workouts are dialed in Why common approaches backfire — the truth about keto, intermittent fasting, calorie counting, and endless cardio specifically for women in midlife What actually works — simple, sustainable strategies for nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and gut repair that support your hormones instead of fighting them   Connect with Karen: Instagram Email Website Book With Karen   Don't forget to leave a rating & review!
