It’s normal to say that you have weird cravings when you’re pregnant and experiencing all those hormonal changes… 

Why is it not more normal to talk about how our day to day cravings could relate back to hormonal changes?

You know those times where you are craving those salty pretzels or something savory and you're not really sure why?

In this episode we’re going to cover some of the most common cravings we experience, and how they could actually be your body communicating with you about your hormones or nutrient status.

Many of these explanations are not reasons for us to justify having the thing, but for us to be kinder to ourselves when we struggle with wanting these things or overconsuming these things.

Rather than treating the craving by giving the body what it’s craving, let’s understand WHY we’re craving it, and address the root issue.

We will cover 5 of the most prominent cravings including salt, sugar and carb, fat, caffeine, and chocolate cravings and why they might be coming up for you.
