The Funk'tional Nutrition Podcast The #1 Nutrition Shift Most Women Overlook for Hormone Health | Ep 355
If you've ever wondered how to truly support your hormones without falling into diet culture traps, Erin is breaking down the three “big boulders” of hormone-supportive nutrition: eating enough food, prioritizing protein, and adding variety to your meals. She explains why a caloric deficit isn’t always the answer (especially for women!) and how being well-fed sends powerful safety signals to the body that support ovulation, progesterone production, and overall hormonal balance.
You’ll also learn why balanced blood sugar is non-negotiable, how modern weight loss trends like Ozempic and other GLP-1 peptides could have unintended consequences, and how strength training can buffer against hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause. Plus, she shares her free downloadable Hormone Food Guide to help you put it all into practice.
In This Episode:
- Why hormones are often the effect, rather than the root cause of health issues
- How food influences blood sugar, liver health, and inflammation
- Erin introduces "Your Hormone Revival," a program designed to simplify hormone health and address root causes with a holistic approach
- The most crucial nutrients for hormonal balance, including B vitamins, vitamin C, and magnesium
- How consuming enough food and maintaining balanced meals signals safety to your body
- The long-term health consequences women face, and the rise of eating disorders from GLP1 usage
