This episode is for my sisters out there! We are jumping into the complex topic of women's hormones with Australian scientist, functional nutritionist and health coach Matty Lansdown who focuses his work on weight loss and self confidence for professional women and busy mothers.

I have found there to be a giant knowledge gap in understanding the complexity of women's hormones and menstrual cycle, which is a problem as hormones dictates SO much of how female bodies operate. I love Matty's work and how he is helping women dissect this topic to give us a sense of empowerment over our bodies, letting us be in the driver seat of our well-being.

In this episode we cover which weeks in our cycle we can push our fasting windows out (if that is something we do or ant to experiment with), allowing a greater hormetic stress to the body during these times, and which weeks in our cycle we must be more cognizant of stressors to body for optimal well-being. 

We discuss thee role of eating fats as it pertains to weight loss/management (spoiler alert: I'm a big fan of! The good ones, of course) as well as insulin and breakdown the idea metabolic flexibility.

Matty hosts his own podcast called “How to NOT Get Sick and Die’, where he shares weekly insights in relation to current developments in the world of health, nutrition and human optimization, offering the latest advice on how your diet and lifestyle can directly affect your energy, focus, self confidence and overall well being.
