4. How Food Freedom Can Positively Impact Your Hormone Health (and Fertility!) With Guest Olivia Wagner

On today’s episode, I’m answering a question I frequently get asked inside my coaching programs: How are my hormones affected when I’m engaging in disordered behaviors (like restricting, binge eating, over exercising, etc.)? Hormones impact a TON of different areas in the body, including mood, energy levels, sex drive, and food cravings!  So today, you’re going to learn how your eating patterns could be affecting your hormonal health, and how in turn, your hormones could either be helping or hurting your journey to food freedom. I’ve invited Olivia Wagner, MS, RDN, IFNCP, a Registered Dietitian who specializes in women’s health, to speak to some of the unique challenges women can face when struggling with disordered eating. Topics discussed in this episode include: Symptoms to be on the lookout for that may indicate hormonal imbalances How hormone levels are impacted as a result of disordered eating Common mistakes you could be making when trying to regulate your hormones The thing most GYNs won’t tell you about birth control How disordered eating patterns could be impacting your ability to conceive or have a healthy pregnancy Some simple steps you can start taking right now to begin improving your hormone health Resources mentioned: Healthy Hormone Audit and Action No Birth Control, Now What?
