Episode 186 - Hormones & Health with Lauren Allen

I hope your Pesach was rejuvenating, spiritually connected, and you managed not to kill anyone 🙂And... does anyone else feel like they got filled up with lead?

I was thrilled with the serendipity that right as I'm feeling post-Pesach blahs, I had an interview scheduled with Lauren Allen, a nutrition coach with a focus on female hormonal health (with her own amazing story). Basically, the interview consisted of me being like "hellllp meeeee."

And... she really did.

You should for sure listen or watch, but let me give you a taste of how practical and helpful her advice was (this is just a sample):

1. Moving your coffee to AFTER your breakfast can make a big difference in sustaining energy throughout your day (she explains why better so I'm not going to try) 2. If you have a 3 PM slump where you go for the carbs/caffeine/sugar, look earlier in your day to see if you skipped a meal (and drop the shame for your body's normal biological urge to find energy!) 3. Apparently breakfast matters if you're a woman. She says to shoot for 60-90 minutes from wake-up time.

What's one practical step--whether from this list or something you know would make a world of difference for your health and energy--that you can try on this week?
