Why You’re Always Tired & Stressed - How To Naturally Balance Your Hormones | Amy Shah


Listen Later

Let’s be honest. There’s a lot of BS we’ve been accepting as the “norm” that we really should be questioning. High stress levels? Of course stress sounds normal, who isn’t stressed and your stress levels are sky high. You’re running around doing everything and trying to be everything for everyone and you're checking social media in between. 

Appetite out of control? Why wouldn’t it be? You don’t have time to prioritize sleep, so you’re also tired, and you get insane cravings for all the carbs, the sweet and salty things that betray you later.

Is anyone stopping to think that maybe your hormones are the culprit? When was the last time you heard “hunger hormones” used together?

Dr Amy Shah joined us for the first time to talk about why we’re so “Effing Tired” and how hormones, fasting, and circadian rhythms are different for women. This time Dr Amy is joining us to share about the hunger hormones making you so “Effing Hungry” that increases stress levels, increases overwhelm, and makes adulting in our relationships 10 times harder.


A few ideas Dr Amy Shah shares that will blow your mind:

  • What you eat changes and controls your mood
  • Every 10% increase in processed food you eat leads to a 21% jump in depression
  • Hunger hormones drive you to do the best and worst things for your body
  • Dr. Amy Shah is a double-board certified medical doctor that specializes in food allergies, hormones and gut health for women. She’s passionate about women’s health and disseminating health information for women to have healthier, happier, fitter lives.
