The Fueled & Free Podcast

44: Should you still eat if you're not hungry? Low appetite, hunger cues, how cortisol, your gut + blood sugar connects with your appetite.


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive into all things hunger and appetite. Do you find that you lack a consistent appetite? Or find that certain times of the day you aren't hungry at all and other times of the day you're starving? What about the push to eating a higher protein diet to those who seemingly can't stomach that larger volume of food? 

I'm diving into some of the reasons and "root causes" as to why you may be struggling with lack of a consistent appetite and how not eating enough throughout the day can be a big contributor to middle of the night waking, as well as a sluggish metabolism. When you chronically under-eat and don't fuel and nourish your body properly, your metabolism down regulates.
