“Everyone's energy levels shift and change. It's important to not put that pressure on ourselves.” 

- Katie Bressack

 

Hormones are our body's chemical messengers. They affect every bit of physiological function you can think of: growth, sleep, stress levels, blood sugar, childbirth, nursing, masculinity, femininity and even the period drama that women dread every month. It seems like the roles hormones play in our lives are impossible to count, so we need to take care of our hormonal health the best we can. One way we can do that is by keeping a strict watch on what we eat, how we eat, when we eat, and why we eat. 

 

In this episode, Justine and award-winning Holistic Health Coach Katie Bressack help you gain broader insight into how the foods we eat impact our hormonal health. They discuss how your eating habits affect your sleep, energy, mood, stress levels, menstruation, menopausal stages, and more. If you're hankering for carbs, sweets, or a caffeine fix, take a quick pause and hit play because Katie’s about to let you in on some secrets about those cravings and why they’re telling you about your body/health..  as Katie lets you in on some craving secrets!
