EPISODE 103: Balancing Your Hormones
Are you feeling constantly fatigued? Are your cravings out of whack and impossible to control? Have your mood swings been taking over lately, leading to more stress and anxiety than what is normal for you? If yes, it might be time to look at how balanced - or unbalanced - your hormones are. Their discrepancy likely has a lot more influence on our well-being than many of us realize. In this episode, Joel and Emily discussed what hormones are, how these imbalances can affect our bodies, and how we can balance them.
