In this episode, Josh Kreifels, a registered dietitian, explains how protein and balanced nutrition benefit women's hormones and health. Adequate protein stabilizes blood sugar, reduces stress hormones, and supports hormone production. Nutrient-rich diets with vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium optimize hormonal function.
