Episode 28: Christine Garvin ON Hormone Health & Eating Issues — A Holistic Approach To Healing Both
Most women with eating issues also simultaneously experience hormone issues. That’s because your hormone health directly affects your hunger, food cravings, weight and mood — and vice versa. This conversation with Christine Garvin, Functional Nutritionist and hormone expert, will educate you on the parallel causes and remedies of both hormone and eating issues so you don’t have to be at their mercy. No matter your age, it’s never too late to take empowered action to regulate your hormones and eating.
In this episode we discuss…
- The impact of stress and cortisol on the body, hormones and hunger.
- Why it is essential for your brain to feel safety in order to heal your hormones.
- How diet culture trends, such as restriction, avoiding fats and intermittent fasting, actually contribute to hormone imbalance.
- Christine’s personal hormone scare that became the catalyst for the work she does.
- The relationship between sugar intake and hormones.
- The importance of honoring your body’s boundaries in order to regulate hormones.
- How exercise such as high intensity training can backfire.
- The value of cycle tracking and syncing to learn your unique body’s rhythms.
